Cons:

• "Tables very close to each other and a very loud large space."

Cons:

• "The side order of chorizo and potatoes wasn't anything special and in retrospect, wasn't worth the money."

• "Drinks were a bit pricey, but typical of the city centre."
• "Decent pizza place, the pizzas themselves were really well made and tasty. Service was a bit on the slow side."
• "The wine itself was lacking the flavour. Cheap."
