Ravioli, Veal Papardelle, Risotto, Focaccia, Bombetta Pugliese Pork Loin, Carne Giorno Wagyu Beef.

Vanilla and Fig Gelato, Apple Torte and Vanilla Gelato.

Jim's birthday and given it was Italian and we didn't have pizzas, we didn't share.  Karen didn't come as it was raining and thundering so Bella was not at her best (of course Chopper and Truffles just dealt with it).

We had Steven look after us and he was very chatty and friendly and kept us up to date with what was happening.  Fortunately we were in the back room which wasn't as noisy as the main part of the restaurant which was wow, really vibrating when we walked through on our way out.

The food was good standard Italian grub, no complaints, everyone enjoyed their choices.
