I recently visited this restaurant with 3 friends. Although our table had been booked for 8pm we were left in the bar area until almost 9pm and before that we'd had to ask someone to come over to take our order. Similarly, the time between the starters and main courses was rather long. This was a Thursday evening and the restaurant although busy wasn't packed out.
The food when it arrived was delicious (we all had different pastas and risottos), although we were rather disappointed by the portion sizes which had been described on this and other sites as "hearty" and "generous" - we don't normally think of ourselves as greedy people but to be honest we thought they seemed more like starters in size. One of my friends had ordered crab and lobster ravioli which wasn't available, she was offered the choice of a different pasta with the same sauce, or a spinach and ricotta ravioli - she chose the latter and was annoyed to find at the end that she'd been charged the same price and had to ask to have the difference deducted.
We would definitely have had room for a dessert if it weren't for the fact that by that time it was gone 10pm which we thought was a bit too late. Also the fact that many of the desserts were obviously commercially produced ice-creams and not prepared in house was a bit off-putting.
On the plus side, we enjoyed the fact that the background music and noise was quiet enough for us to chat and catch up, and we were impressed that when the starters were brought out we were given some complimentary bruschetta for the 2 of us who hadn't ordered a starter. Altogether it was a pleasant enough experience but we felt the service to be a little lacking.
