    Quality restaurant. Great food. I am often made to feel odd for liking my steak well done and usually they come cremated but not here. I asked for my steak well done (no pink). When it arrived it was slightly pink but staff were fantastic and remedied the situation without making me feel uncomfortable or destroying the steak. it is really worth it for the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff members. By far the best restaurant we found in London.

    So happy we found this welcoming restaurant. Silvia the hostess made us feel right at home and helped us with wine choices. She had a selection of cocktails for me too! The appetizers and entrees prepared with such detailing. The sauces fresh, light and very flavorful. We had the burrata salad, delicious spaghetti with clams, ravioli with black truffle pranwn and seabass. Thank you for a lovely evening Silvia …a pleasure meeting you !

    We had a day trip into London and we all really wanted Italian. Seeing that this restaurant made its own pasta was just fantastic so we had to try it! I had the lobster pasta which was really tasty, my daughter had the boar and my husband had the vongole which was also super. We had some nice wine to compliment the dishes. Despite it being incredibly busy the waitress was able to get us seated quite quickly. Service was very friendly - the whole experience was fantastic
