                          We dined at 5.30pm. The restaurant was quiet. The meal was great although quite a few things off the menu were sold out. This may have been a problem if we had children. No pizza's in an italian restaurant !!!

                                            We dined at seven in the evening and placed our orders, starters arrived within 10 minutes and the mains about 20 mins after that, food was of excellent quality and hot. We all had a desert which was once again excellent and with 6 Peronis throughout the meal I thought the price of [$] for the 3 of us was good value.
