    It really was a lovely evening - apart from the noisy guy at the next table, which the resto could do nothing about! We were surprised by what a small, intimate place it was - very good atmosphere. We had Sardines followed by Saltimbocca, both of which were great. Good service too.

    The quality of the food and the friendly staff made for a very enjoyable evening.I have used this restaurant a number of times and have never been disappointed. I particularly like the sardines as a starter. This is a family run Italian restaurant and has a warm cosy feel to it.

    The food was fine, but overpriced - and so was the wine. Otherwise a cozy, authentic place.

    10/10

    A very traditional Italian, warm, welcoming and very friendly. Service was excellent and our group of 6 were well looked after but the highlight was most definitely the food. Wow amazing, portions are big so come hungry or share, but one of the best pasta dishes have eaten outside of Italy. Not fancy, but honest, delicious proper Italian food, which is exactly as it should be. Wonderful!

    Disappointed because this is a restaurant I know but we were placed downstairs which just isn’t a nice. Felt I’d chosen badly for my friends . Always lovely pasta but using cream in carbonara not good. Also no cheese and waitress not at all bothered that things we wanted were not available .sally disappointed.

    A genuine gem in Fitzrovia; fabulous food, exceptional levels of service, a really brilliant vibe. Busy on a Thursday night, but waiting for a table was stress free (a cheeky Negroni on the pavement outside, wondering when the landlord of the Duke of York pub, just up the street plans to get a new image on his sign!) & well worth it when we got a table. One of my favourite restaurants of all time - never disappointing, great portion sizes, lovely staff & really good value for money.

    Authentic feel to the restaurant and the team are lovely! The food is fabulous and described by someone I was chatting to as the best Italian meal he’d eaten!! It is a little ‘cosy’ but that adds to the atmosphere and you can always ask to be seated downstairs where there is a little more space.
