    We had a booking for 4 for the Panini's 5-course Italian experience. We started with one each of the cheese and meat platters and they were lovely. We followed with the calamari fritti and fried olives, then pasta and pizza, and finally dessert. The food was pleasant and reasonable value. We did feel a little rushed and would have liked a bit more time between courses.
