Limited selection of cold drinks for hot summer days
Popped into Bar Espresso on a hot sunny day in search of a delicious cold drink (prefably with some caffeine!). I asked if they could make me an iced coffee (just a shot of espresso, cold milk and ice - not too tricky) but this was not possible. The only alternatives were cartons of orange and apple juice or cans of fizzy stuff. Friendly service and air conditioning were appreciated but it would be great to have a few more options - like smoothies, fresh juices and milkshakes - for thirsty customers during the summer.

Excellent Food, Honestly Priced
A wonderful family run Sicilian restaurant. I have eaten there regularly over the last couple of years and have never had a single complaint. You can have a romantic evening or a relaxed and fun evening with a group of friends. I have even spent New Year's eve there and partied with the owners into the wee hours. The staff are relaxed, helpful and very attentive. You are always made to feel special. The prices are excellent and so is the food to go with it. There are so many choices from a home made pizza (with a secret base recipe), to pasta, meat, fish and some very creative vegetarian options. [Mar 09]
