This place was all but empty on a Saturday evening... I can't understand why. The food is really very high quality, especially the light, freshly made pasta. We loved the pasta/sauce mix and match concept even though it took us a while to choose!

I ordered the gnocchi - very tasty but I suggest you don't fill up on the complimentary bread and (fantastic) pesto as the portions are HUGE and neither of us could finish ours. They do offer to pack it up for you to take home if you can't manage it all though. The wine list is great, and there's something for everyone's budget with the cheapest glasses from just RMB40 - though they go up to bottles in the thousands! Although we didn't have room for desserts they have a great menu including dessert wines and port.

The decor is simple and attractive, and, as others have said, a touch on the romantic side. It would be a perfect place to go on a date.

Service is friendly, attentive and prompt, though one niggle would be that the waitstaff have nothing to do a lot of the time and consequently pace the restaurant looking very bored!

I really recommend you try Metro - we will certainly be going back soon and hope to fit in some desserts next time!
