squid ink pasta: chose this as a previous review claimed that it was good... uh... It can best be described as bland and had hardly any ingredients in it

pilaf rice: think I can make this at home tbh. worse than 18chefs?

service: friendly and good

Overall: the 2 of us were left feeling full, unsatisfied, and not value for money.
- there is a better Italian restaurant nearby (Pietro's) which I've been patronizing for years
- please check the Google reviews for this place... It felt a bit sus that the reviews were either 5* or very low at 1-2*
