    Great little restaurant, both our starter and pasta were delicious. Really authentic Italian food. Service was friendly and quick ( we were off to the ballet) plus value for money was great. Would definitely go back and would recommend to friends.

    This restaurant had very good reviews and it was close to Sadlers Wells. We probably would never have chosen it otherwise. It’s nothing to look at really on the outside but it’s a real find. Food was great with a good variety on offer. The service was excellent. It was incredibly good value. We will definitely return - loved it.

    Dinner with family while staying in Islington. Recommended by a local resident. The dinner and experience did not disappoint. The restaurant is cozy so reservations are highly recommended. The food and wine was amazing and authentic. The staff was wonderful. Highly recommended and will return.

    The food was very good with adequate sized portions. Service was good despite the restaurant being busy. The only negative is that the tables are very close together.

    Delicious authentic food in a homely local Italian restaurant! Our meal was fresh and hot, cooked perfectly. Not a big place, so I recommend booking - there was a queue of people waiting for tables when we left. There are outside tables which are used in the better weather. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. I think they are the owners and family. Excellent place for a casual Italian meal!
