Celebrating a birthday, after a show. We had amazing large and tasty pizzas, salad and a delicious lemon posset dessert. Wine was good too.

Great location, lovely ambiance, tasty pizza. Booked through The Fork, used points against the bill, great deal. If in the area would visit again, recommended!

First time I've chosen a Fork discount special and not gotten it. When I looked at the Fork Calendar, it was available. It was available when I selected the time and number in our party. What I did NOT notice is that the confirmation did NOT show the discount. Embarrassing to invite people to a meal & discover the restaurant did not have the discount offered. It was Feb 29th. Who knows, maybe Leap Year Day caused a glitch? We couldn't pull it up on the Fork as by afternoon of Feb 29th only showed March on the calendar. Now about the actual dining experience. Staff was polite, apologetic and shared that this had happened with another party. The restaurant is down a steep flight of stairs (none of us had an issue but worth noting). TBH, from pictures I expected something more atmospheric. It was rather stark (and not in a chic minimalist way.) Starters: the mozarella & blood orange was excellent - very tasty, beautifully presented; the green salads rather ordinary. Mains: two of our party had the risotto: didn't rave. Two had pizzas and both liked them (esp the Diavola). 5th had a rabbit ragu on pappardelle which was tasty but a tad dry. Also got cocktails and wine which were priced fairly. All in all not sure why this gets such great ratings: food was good but not exceptional, room was nice but not special.

Foods are better than I expected, Love the mushroom rice balls, However the carbonara pizza was a bit too salty as the cheese n bacon are both salty maybe add something a bit sweet to balance the favour. All in all we have a great dinner. Will go back again.

Atmospheric entrance down to a wonderful cosy lit restaurant. Very warm welcome. Limited menu although several choices of pizza. However food is extremely good quality. Good portions and exceptional taste. Would highly recommend

Delicious food, keenly priced. I’d mentioned when booking this it was my friend’s birthday. She was delighted when staff brought out a cake. Will definitely come back.

Excellent from start to finish. Very well presented dishes, generous portions and all delicious. Really good value with The Fork discount and already thinking of when we can visit again with some more friends.

Was very quiet on a Friday evening with only a small number of tables, we were squeezed right next to another seated table when there was lots of other tables available we could have sat at. We had the whipped ricotta and leeks to start which was very tasty and the margarita and mushroom pizza for mains which were nice pizzas but lacked seasoning and were a bit bland. Lady who served us was very friendly and good price with the 50% off deal.

Great place to come for pizza, really good, the starters also good generous potions with good quality ingredients, good selection of wine by the glass. My wife was disappointed with her choice of main the vegetarian which was mainly made up of raw spinach. Would return.

Nice hidden gem. Booked a meal for my wife. Great service and ambience. Food is pretty good too. Found that they had an apertivo happy hour so came early only to find that when the bill arrived at the end of the meal we were charged in full for the drinks as they wouldn't combine with the fork discount so be aware. Would come again but would pay for the drinks first before sitting down for the meal though. Both cardand cash accepted for the traditionalists!

Nice wine by glass. Burrata good. Pizza nothing special but freshly made so OK. Roast veggie salad was basic. With 50% off it was great.

Pleasant enough. Staff may have been tired, perhaps, or overworked; we don't know, but this was a reunion of friends, and we'd hoped for a warmer welcome. The food was very nice, but the brusque service nearly sucked the energy out of us!

We went on a Friday and were the only people there for lunch so a little low on atmosphere. Staff were lovely. Food was fine but without the Fork discount would have felt quite pricey.

Great place for a birthday celebration. Fabulous find, behind the curtain in a beautiful basement setting. Deliciously fresh hawaiian pizza, perfect truffle/parmesan fries and wonderful wine. Lovely touch on dessert - birthday candle and birthday wishes written in chocolate, and member of the team sang along - thank you for making it a special evening.

Superb setting in a basement with the right amount of lightning and music. Food of quality, fresh and balanced to the good palate. Recommended with the fork discount for a cost effective meal.

This is a gorgeous little restaurant, which we found through Fork. I’d never been despite working in the area. So glad we found it. These are the best pizzas we’ve had in London. Meal for 4 with drinks came to £60!!!

Really friendly staff and it was very quiet when we visited so they did not open the seating at the booths which was unfortunate. The menu presented was a much smaller selection of what we thought was available after researching the restaurant website online. The food ordered was good and there was a lovely ambiance.

Great find of a restaurant, they have a fab happy hour and the waitress we had was fantastic! Pizza was good and good that they had vegan cheese for substitutions, doughnuts were average, wish we had gone for the lemon posset - best olives and croquettes I’ve ever had!

Down some stairs into an intimate and beautifully decorated restaurant and bar. Tables a little too close together. Staff were lovely and efficient without rushing us. Nduja croquettes fabulous and burrata starter excellent. Portions are very generous. Pizzas are good and drinks well priced. Can't believe we didn't know about this place!!!! Will come again and definitely recomment.
