Mietta's Review
A cosy and warm space with the window over looking the street set with stools, and outside seating as well. Good, lovingly made coffee. It is a family run restaurant and the blackboard above the bar tells you the rudiments of the Italian language so you can try it out on the efficient and friendly staff on the way past. The music is loud, not really a spot for a quiet romantic dinner for two, but for a casual enjoyable evening in Bayside, it is just the thing.

Look no further . from the pavement dining to inside window benches with stools and large dining area spreading into two rooms its busy and often noisy. New mums with babies in tow, business types and locals know that good italian fare features."
