    We had a lovely meal at Amalfi Restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. Every course was well presented and full of flavour. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. The only downside was the long wait for drinks at the beginning and also quite a delay between food courses. Aside from the timing, the overall experience was very enjoyable and we would happily return.
