Our verdict

This contemporary tapas and wine bar with a name that means ‘a little’ but which offers a lot, is popular for Mediterranean-inspired mini and mighty bites. Share plates of small and large bites that include tasty fish sliders, crab cakes, wedges of iceberg lettuce, lemongrass skewers, slow-cooked shoulder of lamb and more. An excellent list of wine by the glass, cocktails and craft beers make the well-suited accompaniment to a great night out.
