My Wife and I stopped for an early dinner on a weeknight. Service was prompt and helpful. Food was excellent. This is a casual but authentic Italian. The polenta was perfect. The tomato sauce was flavored correctly. The meatballs were as well. The fish special was ,well, special. The drinks were good. When food is this good, it is always good value for money but the prices were reasonable for central London. Briciole is one of our favorites and my wife is very demanding as she is of Italian descent and we travel there for several weeks every year. This is not fancy dining, but the food makes one think it is.
