Rebecca Lee: Quail pappardelle (often a special, not usually on the menu if I recall) is TO DIE FOR. Special seafood salad also stunning. Pasta dishes are generally better than mains but the steak is an exception
Chris Blakely: Went there for a birthday dinner. Consensus: absolutely delicious! One friend said it was the best Italian food he had ever had in the USA!
Jamie F: Beyond amazing and what a beautiful adorably venue. Order the ravioli tasting app. Pumpkin one is ah-am-zing

Lee Simpson: Amazingly good all you can eat sushi deal. Some of the baked rolls are a touch intense for my liking - stick to the hand rolls.
