first visit to this place a few years ago was a real highlight and we have had it marked for a return trip ever since. finally made it back and once again it delivered. the antipasto platter, ravioli in sage butter, fish of the day, chicken marsala, veal scallopine, classic crème caramel and profiteroles were all excellent. a bottle of soave and a bottle of chianti classico riserva, both were very good matches. the service was friendly, efficient and at times entertaining, in the nicest possible way. if you like this style of eatery i reckon you won't find a better one in nz. if you have been to italy as i have, you will not be disappointed. looking forward to the next time.
