    Creamy penne pasta coated in a rich cheese and cream sauce, topped with finely grated cheese for added flavor.
    Black spaghetti made with squid ink, topped with large shrimp and partially opened mussels, garnished with garlic and parsley for added flavor.
    Trio of chargrilled bruschetta topped with a fresh tomato and herb mixture, drizzled with balsamic reduction.

    The waiter is super friendly and nice. We didnt expect the food to serviced so quick, it was absolutely delicious, would come again.

    This is a small family run restaurant with great food at reasonable prices and a very good atmosphere. They cater to special dietary requirements while keeping their high quality of food. The manager/owner is enthusiastic about the food and can talk about individual items on the menu at great length showing that he is both knowledgeable and keen on his menue.

    Good food, lovely ambience/decoration! My starter (burrata) and main course (a carbonara) didn't blow me away, but I did still enjoy them. Reasonably priced, given the location. Service was friendly, and the discount from the Fork was applied without even my having to ask for it!

    A creamy cocktail with a dried lime slice, a dessert-like drink garnished with cocoa powder, and a tall glass of coffee topped with frothy cream.

    Really friendly and relaxed place to spend the evening. It seemed very popular. Great food reasonably priced plus we had 20% off food via The Fork. We felt very welcomed and valued. Great location close to King’s Cross St Pancras.
