Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

It's a small, friendly and cool place, with a menu that is distinguished by house-made pasta dressed with some of Italy's biggest-hitting flavour exports and served in rustic Puglian crockery. A bowlful of casarecce broccolini in chicken broth is soupily comforting but laced with chilli and pangrattato for kick and rustle, and there are also slow-cooked meaty sugos and brighter seafood options such as ‘scoglio’ (Shetland mussels, baby squid and king prawns with chilli, ginger, garlic and lemon).

All this, plus a short Italian wine selection, is delivered with genial ease, while a decently priced weekend lunch offer keeps the dream of bargain carbs alive. No cash.
