The Bar upstairs is fantastic - mainly locals, very rustic and great service. The restaurant downstairs is awesome, real quality Italian food priced sensibly. Far more rustic than the chains.

Reviews on other sites which will remain unnamed….. have not really painted a great picture of this place mainly with regards to the attitude of the waiting staff. Well, let me tell you, I have just been there for dinner and had outstanding service. So much so that it feels like the restaurant owner has read all of the reviews and acted upon them. If that is the case, hats of to him.

The food was great, very tasty but a tad too rich and greasy for my liking. That being said the menu offers a decent variety with original combinations, such as mushroom ravioli with gorgonzola. The tiramisu I had for desert was also very original, it had nuts inside! We didn't get to try the wine but the wine racks above the bar do look impressive.

The overall experience was delightful; the 2 waitresses were outstanding in every way, the food was good, the atmosphere was cool, relaxed and cosy, the bill very reasonable, perfect place for a date. The people are from all walks of life, mostly locals.

How funny Ladis, I laughed out loud when I looked at where "La Broca" is and it's literally a 10min walk from my place. I've always walked by this place but never really actually tried it. Well now I've got a reason to discover a local place thanks to TrustedPlaces... how funny ;-)

This place has a wine bar above the small intimate restaurant downstairs. It's great value for money and very good for a date. Forget pizza express. This place is mostly locals who appreciate the good service and selection of wines.
