Excellent open bistro Cafe. Arancini balls were the best Ive had. The mains were excellent and a fine selection of Italian pastries for afters or maybe just to accompany a lazy afternoon coffee.

Have been coming to this Cafe for almost two years for a coffee, so a review was long overdue. The coffee is great, the food is good (but not spicy enough for me), but the best part is the welcoming staff and owners. They make you feel so welcome that you would want to return again and again. :) Also, it opens pretty early in the morning, so that's a plus for anybody looking for a caffeine dose to get up and running
