    Wonderful restaurant. My husband uses a walker and seating was only downstairs which he could not do especially as handrail was trimmed with garland for the holidays. But they were so gracious and opened upstairs dining room especially for us. They were terrific and our service was exceptional and so quiet as we were the only two people in the dining room. Our server, a young man from Naples, Italy was so kind and very friendly and he was a delight. We usually eat here 2 x during our stay and the food was delicious. We shared burrata with tomatoes and pesto which is amazing and then finished off with a bowl of minestrone soup was probably the best we ever ate anywhere. We dined here with 4 others the other night for dinner and everyone was thrilled with service and outstanding food.

    Beautiful romantic restaurant and stunning decor. Food delicious although slightly small portion sizes, and I felt that the pork (main course on the set lunch menu) should have come with at least some vegetables, without needing to order an extra side. However, the service was great, staff lovely, and overall a memorable experience for our anniversary. We will definitely go back for special occasions!

    We had a day trip into London and we all really wanted Italian. Seeing that this restaurant made its own pasta was just fantastic so we had to try it! I had the lobster pasta which was really tasty, my daughter had the boar and my husband had the vongole which was also super. We had some nice wine to compliment the dishes. Despite it being incredibly busy the waitress was able to get us seated quite quickly. Service was very friendly - the whole experience was fantastic
