    The food was excellent. The manager was good. But because he was on his own as the restaurant filled up the service became slower.

    My second visit and the food was as delicious as last time. The choice of music was good, too (though it was difficult to hear once two large groups arrived. Service was prompt. We look forward to returning.

    Authentic Italian food worthy of all foodies’ taste buds - my family has been eating here from time to time and the quality is consistent and ingredients always fresh - the desserts are really good and must try!

    Great spot, great food and service. Door needs to be fixed so it closes properly.

    Must try their amazing desserts - our favorites being the Tiramisu, the Chocolate Fondant and the Apple Crumble which tasted heavenly - the mains were great as usual especially the Gambaretti Picanti and the Sea Bass - service led by Ozzie and his new lady assistant was excellent and our compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff - we enjoyed our meal very much - Tqvm : Francis & Family

    Had some lovely dinner here, it was nice to be able to sit outside. Main courses were both great, tiramisu was not my favourite but all the rest tasted good.

    The 4 of us cleared our plates - main courses we had were Spaghetti Carbonara - creamy; Tagliatelle al Pollo with a side of spinach which was sauteed garlic which I emptied onto my main dish - heavenly; Tagliatelle de Mare - my friend found the shellfish & pasta very tasty and the Pizza 4 Formaggi - we all tried some and enjoyed the thin base & cheese combo. We shared Desserts were Tiramisu and Chocolate Fondant which were both delicious. Washed down with beer and house White Wine. It is not a large venue, had ambiance and was almost full with our waiter being kept busy and doing a great job! Toilet downstairs was spotless.

    The food is really good. The burrata was a bit too cold (looked frozen).

    Terrible service with below average food. Inattentive staff even when there’s only any other table in the restaurant. If you come here with The Fork discount, you will only get a fraction of the portion. DO NOT recommend!

    The restaurant was good, but a little crowded. The staff was welcoming. The food was good, tasty and fresh, the dishes were well-presented. We will definitely go again.

    Expensive considering the low quality food. Also add on a 12.5% service charge which straight away takes half your discount off (as the 30% doesn’t apply to drinks). Certainly wouldn’t go back again

    Food is good but portions seemed smaller than before especially the sea bass. Taste seem a bit off today with the mash potato rather salty this time around and the tuna rather scarce on the tuna pizza which we ordered.

    A hidden jewel in Clerkenwell and near Holborn/Gray's Inn /Chancery Lane. Authentic Italian food and excellent service with a smile from the ever friendly Ozzie. Compliments to the cook from me and my family who thoroughly enjoyed our dinner courses and dessert. The promo from The Fork only made our day sweeter. Francis & Family

    Everthing at this restaurant is good. Music a bit invasive which reduces conversation so it would be nice if it was softer. Food was excellent and plenteous. Menu was easy to understand and not overwhelming. We shared an excellent charcuterie to start - a little more bread would have been welcome, we only got one small slice each! Our white Wine was fine and nice and cold. The decoration was stark. Some vibrant art-work is badly needed to cheer the place up. Service was promt and helpful without too much, "is everything Ok?"ism. A very enjoyable evening and good value.

    Decent Italian restaurant. Casual and reasonably priced. Overall great value. Would return to eat here again. The pasta is well cooked and the brownie was great.

    The restaurant was really busy although the food didn't take too long to be served. The restaurant team was working hard and look after me, my friend and all the other customers.
