The owner was very friendly and talked to us in Italian every time he passed our table. He was most attentive and helpful. We shared a lovely wild boar starter which was extremely tasty. The catch of the day was sea bream. I had mine with delicious potatoes and veg. as well as the salad and the little pot of cherry tomatoes which came with it. My husband had fries with the salad and tomatoes. The fish were huge and cooked to perfection.

We had no room for any dessert! If we were staying longer in Bath, we would definitely have returned.

Very disappointed and will not go back.
