It is one of the best Italian Rest. I have been to. The food is great, Pizzas, Pasta, Antipasta, Coffee, before & after drinks, atmosphere is good. It is a wonderful Rest. & the views from the Rest. is just great. A most definite place to go while in St Clair. No booking & it can get very busy. Best time I feel is between 7.30-8.30 after the majority have left.
