    Outstanding Italian restaurant in the heart of Soho. Three of us shared a starter of Calamari and Zucchini, with a huge bowl of green olives. We then had mains of the chicken risotto, pappardelle with beef and a Margherita pizza. The portions were way bigger than we were anticipating leaving no room for desserts. Every item we tried was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Service was exceptional. The final bill which included a glass of wine and two bottles of fizzy water came to £120 (including service). Highly recommended but just make sure you bring a big appetite!

    Really good experience we went as part of a work Christmas meal with the set menu. This was catered well, waiters constantly topping up glasses. However part meals (chips to accompany the steak) came 10 minutes after so the steak was cold when the whole dish arrived. We had a nut allergy guest which they catered for and modified the meal for with no issues. Food and portion sizes were very decent and the food was delicious!
