| - Having been here a few times, this most recent visit confirmed that consistency is difficult to achieve. This time, as a group of six, we visited for lunch. The restaurant was not too busy when we arrived at half past noon, and our waitress was very attentive and ensured that we were consistently well hydrated.
We ordered a mozzarella board (naked is the only way it is served at lunch), fried zucchini, artichoke dip, and calamari to start. Not surprisingly, the fresh mozzarella was the highlight, this being one of the main reasons that we like to visit. The rest, however, is nothing to write home about.
For mains, three of the flatbreads were ordered, a lobster spaghetti, penne carbonara, and a seafood pasta of some sorts (looked like tagliatelle). Of the three pastas, the tagliatelle had the most consistently cooked noodles, with an even mix of sauce to noodle. Contrarily, the lobster spaghetti was a lacking in this department, with clear, distinctly clumpy sections. In terms of flavour, the coated sections was still acceptable. The flatbread seemed to be generally well received by the table.
Overall, would repeat, although the food quality has noticeably regressed. Service is still sharp, and hopefully this is remains true during the dinnertime rush.
