This place looks like a café from the outside and someone’s living room on the inside. But don’t be put off by appearances – inside you’ll find amazing Italian food cooked by chefs who have previously worked at Michelin starred restaurants. Book well ahead as it gets super busy. Also it’s bring your own booze.
