What to Order
Spicy Vodka Pasta
A creamy, non-spicy vodka pasta featuring shell-shaped pasta, with every piece fully coated in a rich sauce. It's a consistent crowd-pleaser for its comforting texture and flavor.
"The Vodka Pasta was absolutely delicious, everything tasted perfect, the hype is real."
Salina
BangBang Shrimp
Crispy shrimp with a kick, offering a texture similar to wasabi shrimp and a flavor profile reminiscent of sriracha mayo. It's a popular appetizer with a satisfying spice level.
"The shrimp dish was yummy as well (the sauce has a nice kick)."
J N
Butter Beef Tataki
Thinly sliced beef tataki served with a savory and sweet sauce that reviewers describe as melting in your mouth. A refined appetizer that showcases the kitchen's skill.
"Tried the beef tataki this time and WOW, melts in your mouth."
Emma Grafham
Mushroom Pasta
A flavorful pasta dish featuring mushrooms, consistently praised for its taste and often cited as a favorite by returning customers.
"Enjoyed their carbonara and mushroom pasta every time, though sometimes their carbonara is a tad too salty for me."
J N
Lemon Tiramisu
A refreshing take on the classic tiramisu, featuring a bright lemon sauce and a lighter cake-to-cream ratio. It's a less sweet, more tart dessert option.
"The lemon sauce is refreshing, and since there’s more cake than cream, it’s indeed not overly sweet, my friends all liked it."
