Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. The chef is very knowledgeable, very skilled and friendly. Whenever I pass by this way, I definitely stop by, I'll taste those delicious pastas.
We visited as a group of 4 for lunch and opted for the appetiser lunch menus. Every dish was absolutely fabulous—each plate was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavour. The attention to detail in the ingredients and preparation really stood out, making each course a delight to savour. In addition to the wonderful food, the table service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, friendly, and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal, which enhanced our overall dining experience. We left thoroughly impressed and will definitely be returning.
Came for dinner; every starter and main we ordered was amazing! Full of flavour, decent servings and balanced meals.Highly recommend the pistachio cannolis as well — best I’ve had in London!Staff went above and beyond with their service. So pleased with our meal.
Lovely venue and the staff were friendly from the moment we entered until we paid and left.Quality of the food was great; wasn't sure whether to get the full English or not but went with their recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Not too far from where we live so will definitely be coming back again.Bonus points for homemade beans in a tomato sauce.
