Rustic Italian Loveliness

The restaurant is named after traditional conical stone huts found in Puglia and the food here is very elegant, rustic and unpretentious. The menu is very seasonal but there are a few crowd pleasing favourites that can be enjoyed in a warm and inviting ambiance. The freshly made pasta is consistently wonderful and the beef shin ragu never drops its standards.

It is good British/Italian combo lead by Tim Siadatan with a sister restaurant named Padella. Opened in 2010 it focuses on pasta dishes which are all beautifully presented and avidly consumed.
