Food
No pizza or heavy cream sauces here. Instead, expect a modern take on traditional Italian cuisine, with fresh seasonal ingredients paired with delicious homemade pasta. The ravioli and risotto are excellent, or be tempted by the daily specials that include meatier options – think slow-cooked ragout served on tagliatelle. Their gnocchi is the best in town!

Wine
Extensive and inspired wine list offers SA’s good and great at fair prices, although there’s a passable selection of Italian wines on offer too.

Service
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable waitrons know the menu backwards, and are happy to suggest food and wine pairings.

Ambience
Clean, modern décor and double-volume ceilings set a trendy yet relaxed tone. With large tables the place can get noisy, so ask for a quiet table downstairs for that romantic dinner.

And...
Take a walk through the well-stocked wine cellar if your wallet’s ready for a rare vintage. (RH)
