Food Scene

Guests suggested I should ad this to the guide book. An institution for some people, a very special place to have a coffee AND a piece of cake. Just looking in the window is a treat.

Fantastic Italian restaurant, down a lane and up the stairs. No tablecloths or wine glasses here, just a very busy, good food place to go at reasonable prices. Can be served very quickly if need be.
