Mietta's Review Outside the pub looks deliberately unwelcoming, as if locals want to keep it to themselves. And who could blame them? The courtyard has its own crazy charm with the beautifully clipped trees and paintings. Inside there's a traditional public bar set up with a counter meal option and an adjoining room with a huge blackboard listing about 30 dishes. Traditional Italian food - Capretto with polenta, in very homely style.
Other published opinions The Age, A2,24/4/04,Melinda Houston,'An old-fashioned pub,there's Carlton Draught and cards in the front bar,Italian cooking in the ladie's lounge,and a vine covered pergola in the beer garden that must qualify for National Trust status.Fabulous.'
