This lovely little restaurant will quickly become one of your go-to spots for an enjoyable and great value night out. Mattia – a native of Genoa – has created a wonderfully authentic osteria split over two rooms, with a cramped, rustic style; ask for a seat at the counter to watch the magic happen. This is ‘nonna’-style cooking with a pure Italian heart, nothing too fancy, just straightforward dishes that burst with flavour. The menu of 8 or so dishes is written on the walls; this could include a wonderful ox tongue with tonnata sauce or a daily made pasta such as tagliatelle with a rich ragu.
