A fantastic casual restaurant. Family friendly. Delicious pizzas! San Danielle is my pick and the tiramisu for dessert. They also have a deli section which is open during the day, great to pick up antipasto bits and pieces and fresh produce.

Only a two minute drive from the studio, park your car and start at the briars to grab a map and work out the best suited type of walk for you.
