Pizza and pasta are the core of the menu. Regulars name the pizzas first, and the pasta range is wide, from prawn spaghetti in tomato to a rich ragù on fettuccine. The pizzas have a thin, blistered base with generous toppings and melted cheese. Fresh ingredients come up often in reviews. Gluten-free options are available, and diners are asked to say their dietary needs when ordering. The menu is also listed as vegetarian-friendly, and the kitchen runs daily chef's specials.
