Probably the best paella I have ever had, got the chicken one and I would 10/10 recommend, best to share with one other person or two if you get sides. And if you are visiting most definitely try the pesto burrata, it is a reason to go back on its own. The staff were also super friendly and accommodating and the space is pretty small and intimate, you’re quite close to other tables but in a friendly, non intrusive way. Overall the place left me craving another visit
