Aribiatta pasta was delicious, would like to try the other pasta dishes! Mozerella salad was ok, wouldn't order this again.

Nice cooked breakfast, with tea / coffee and toast. Very helpful and lovely staff, warned us about parking as temporary sign outside on the meters and not clear, especially when parking attendant told us to move despite being within free time. Staff showed genuine concern. If in the area again would go back
