On entering I noticed there are a number of flags of Italian football teams suspended from the ceiling and numerous pictures on the wall. After I had been seated at the table one of the waiters came over with a small joke coffee. This sets the tone of the restaurant. It is not a restaurant that would be recommended necessarily for haute cuisine, but rather for the lively and boisterous atmosphere.

There is an extensive and fairly typical Italian menu, including a selection of pizza and pasta dishes as well as a variety of meat dishes. I ordered bruschetta to start with, and possibly they were a shade generous with the olive oil, followed by spaghetti arrabbiata with again possibly a shade too much sauce for my taste, and finished with a tartufo ice cream. On the whole the meal was pleasant enough, though it could have been better. Staff are cheerful and friendly.

I left fairly early, about 21:30, before things became really lively, however I am assured dancing on the tables may follow later in the evening.
