So happy we found this welcoming restaurant. Silvia the hostess made us feel right at home and helped us with wine choices. She had a selection of cocktails for me too! The appetizers and entrees prepared with such detailing. The sauces fresh, light and very flavorful. We had the burrata salad, delicious spaghetti with clams, ravioli with black truffle pranwn and seabass. Thank you for a lovely evening Silvia …a pleasure meeting you !

We had a day trip into London and we all really wanted Italian. Seeing that this restaurant made its own pasta was just fantastic so we had to try it! I had the lobster pasta which was really tasty, my daughter had the boar and my husband had the vongole which was also super. We had some nice wine to compliment the dishes. Despite it being incredibly busy the waitress was able to get us seated quite quickly. Service was very friendly - the whole experience was fantastic

She was attentive, kind, and had such a wonderful energy that made us feel so welcome. Her service was impeccable, and she added a personal touch that made our visit unforgettable. A perfect spot for great food, great vibes, and exceptional service!
