While the life size, piano playing, effigy of the man himself, is taking the Da Vinci theme a little too far, the rest of this popular evening eatery is tastefully done.
Vitruvian man is charcoaled into the wall along with various other mural re-creations of sketches by the ultimate renaissance man.
Located in a spacious, dark wooded, inn-style setting, the atmosphere of ‘la trattoria italiana’ has been captured (and, inevitably, spread across the tables with red, white and green chequered cloths).
The food, however, leaves a somewhat less piquant memory. The usual suspects appear on the menu listing: pasta, pizza, soup, salad, chicken, meat, fish and sweets (i dolci).
The pasta is rather a disappointment (neither fresh, nor house-made, it seems, many a mamma would be gesticulating hysterically). And the well-topped pizzas are let down by a suspiciously supermarket-style base.
Unexceptional, but adequate, is the lasting impression.
