Mietta's Review
The restaurant is located in one of the city's beautiful stone double fronted houses with a large verandah. Lots of daily specials served up with great joy and imagination to a mature clientele. The specials from this area are recommended. Lots of excellent Italian wines. Check out the dessert menu and spoil yourself.

Other published opinions

Adelaide Advertiser 2006 "When it comes to comfort food, the Italians have the edge. Pastas, risottos, gnocchis and beans have natural warmth, mass and great mouth feel. Even the desserts run to semolina cakes, gelati and other deeply comforting foods."

Adelaide Advertiser 16/2/05 Tim Lloyd 14/20 "Comforting, conservative and classic Italian fare."

Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide Australia 2004, Good vegetarian options,'The new owners have brightened the place up, adding outdoor tables, placing more emphasis on the bar and the popular private room.In essence,though, this is still very much a family place serving high-quality home-style cooking.'
