    We were a group of 3 friends who ordered 6 dishes plus 2 puddings to share. Every dish was excellent and the team were very flexible for example with the pizza placing the meat on the side so the non meat eater could join in sharing all of the dishes. Service was attentive without being over the top. Atmosphere was quite lively but not so noisy that you could not hear others on your table. Everyone was clearly enjoying themselves. Ic an't wait go back!

    Cannot fault the food, super tasty and serving sizes are big (1-2 dishes per person is enough!) We had booked for the pre-theatre menu but nowhere on the website or on OpenTable does is say it finishes at 6pm! Super disappointing as it was left as a comment on our booking as well and the restaurant could’ve informed us of this in advance. Service was okay - it was pretty obvious the waiter wasn’t impressed when we didn’t order a drink.

    The best Italian restaurant ever in London. I’ve tried many of them but this is the best compared with restaurants in Italy too.

    We had a reservation but were seated in an awkward location near a service station with lots of foot traffic. Some dishes were very good, others were just ok. Service was good and attentive. Just an ok experience and would not rush back.

    I love the fresh mouth watering pasta bursting with flavour. In my opinion one of the best Italian restaurants in London offering good tasty selections and excellent service.

    All dishes are tapas sized. We took the recommendations of our waiter to have a percorino ravioli and a steak dish. We also chose a duck salad, Sardinian pasta with grey mullet, monk fish and courgette frites. All the dishes were delicious. We had two Abruzzo wines a white and a red, also recommended, and excellent. We finished with a shared platter of several small cakes which were good and too plentiful to finish. The service was particularly kind and helpful, as we had not been before and needed support to choose. Both my 25 year old son and I enjoyed our dining experience greatly and we finished in time for the theatre.
