Great lobster pasta and tiramisu, the other dishes were good but nothing amazing. Lovely staff. The restaurant was very loud so we could barely understand each other.

We have eaten in most of the Italian restaurants around the Portobello Rd area and this one is the best. Thank you.

The food is good, well prepared, good quality. The price for a fair prosecco couldn’t be 9£. Do not order desserts. For a praline, basically a 20p sweet served in its package directly from a Lidl’s package and 4 0,05p biscuits, you have to pay more then 7£. The table are too close. To serve the table next to mine I got dozens of elbows on my back.
