Hidden Above the Street, a Piece of Italian Quality

Hidden Above the Street, a Piece of Italian Quality

Up on Selwyn Street, off the centre of the town, there's a couple of restaurants - a fish place and an Italian place - set up above the street that are a little hard to spot. If you can find them though it's worth stopping into this family run Italian eatery.

When you get up the stairs, you go through the door and are greeted with wooden interiors, pleasant lighting and family charm that runs through the whole place.

We sat by the window on a rainy afternoon and had some carbonara and some meatballs and spaghetti. Both were excellent and came to less than $30 for both meals, but the piece de resistance was the dessert. It was a rich, thick, kahlua chocolate cheesecake that melted in the mouth. Not cheap, at about $7 for a slice, we figured it was worth splashing out just this once and we did not regret it.
