Great service and amazing food. Had a mix of pizza, pastas and schnitzel and all were great. Kids LOVED the Nutella pizza too. A brilliant little local eats. We’ll be back!

Standard has not only been maintained but improved. One of the best pizza doughs I’ve eaten in a long time. Very tasty and just the right mix of toppings. The “capo” came out and sat with us as we discussed his process of making snd preparing his amazing dough. Which flour he uses and hasn’t looked back since switching to Italian flour. Slow rise is key. Keep up the good work. The young waitress was so welcoming and attentive to our every need. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Trying to support local restaurants at this time and had never been here but read good reviews so i ordered a pizza. Hopefully it was a 1 off but it was a terrible pizza. One of the worst I've had. The base was tough and there were big clumps of flour stuck to the bottom. The toppings were ok but nothing special or fresh. I hate to say it but I think a dominoes pizza even beats this place 😒 Edit:I did have a pic of the pizza showing the excess flour but it seems to have been removed 🤔

I’ve had the luxury of eating pizza from some of Australia’s/Thailand’s best & yes with this particular establishment I expected way more than I received. They delivered an awful attempt at a traditional Italian pizza. The only plus was a free delivery, however it didn’t count for much, as I ate 2 pieces & threw the remaining family Salmone Affumicato in the bin.

Went here expecting great pizza, as have heard wonderful things! However upon entering and being seated at a wobbly table, I should have known it would have ended badly. We waited 40 minutes for our pizza, as they were too focused on preparing takeaway orders, and answering phone calls. The pizza was very hard and tough, with the centre of the base being soggy, not even the supplied knifes were enough to hack at this overbaked dough. It was as though the dough was overworked and scraps of dough were then put together, to make the base for as it was a child’s attempt at a circle. It was not at all the pillowy light dough that was expected with wood fired pizzas, but was very dense and tough! I questioned whether the treatment and service of us was because we were two teenagers out for dinner without any adults, for I believe anyone who was older would not have been dished this poor excuse for a pizza! Would not recommend to anyone looking for a so called authentic Italian kitchen!
