Clos Maggiore is a brilliant, atmospheric venue. The staff are warm, friendly and professional and the food is excellent. We were made to feel very welcome and despite the two-hour dining window allocated, there was no pressure on us to leave. This was our third visit and it was amazing every time.

Neighbourhood gem! Food is fresh and delicious, and the service is always fantastic. However, on this occasion, the waiter was a little too intrusive with our table as he took a liking to my nephew. He would stand near our table and watch him and us, and we felt very uncomfortable continuing our conversations when this was happening. Otherwise, great food and reasonably priced, and you can always manage to get a booking.
