Mietta's Review
More than a cafe this is a smar, slick restaurant. The food is very good, with a menu that offers traditional and contemporary Italian dishes. There is attention to detail in the kitchen and on the floor, and the prices, for the quality, are fair. The wine list is thoughtful and interesting. The best food in Woollongong.

SBS Eating Guide to Sydney 2005 "It's the best foodie place in the Illawarra, according to subtitler Kim Morrison, who speaks very highly of the 'passionate, creative, friendly and humorous owner/chef Lorenzo Pagnan'. He runs a smart modern space with polished concrete floors, red and lime walls, raisincoloured benches and white and chrome chairs and tables."
