We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. The restaurant contacted us ahead of time and we pre-ordered a slice of cake with a special greeting and champagne. The view was beautiful and the service and servers were attentive and friendly. The food was good fitting for the occasion. We will definitely return. Thank you OXO Tower staff for a very pleasant and memorable evening.

One of many restaurants, several of which are Italian, on this street. We both had pizzas, which were large and tasty, washed down with a bottle of the house wine. My wife had a tiramisu which she said was very good and I just had a coffee. At the end we were offered glasses of limoncello which was a nice touch. The service was friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit.
