Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
The menu is broad, reflecting the wide range of local Italian cooking styles the chef has studied. Each plate feeds two, so sharing is the order of the day. The assorted appetiser, generous in both portion and variety, is a perennial favourite. A full complement of pasta dishes is on offer—the list of spaghettis alone is extensive. The restaurant’s name means ‘coming back’, and indeed the satisfying weekend lunch draws plenty of repeat visitors.
