   Had a fantastic pre-show dinner here, such fresh and delicious Italian food, with great atmosphere and friendly service. We couldn't ask for anything more and can't wait to come back again!

   2nd visit to this restaurant with my nephew & we enjoyed it just as much. It’s small & the surroundings make it ideal for being able to carry out a conversation. If I lived in London it would become a regular haunt.

   Arrived at 4:00pm so Place was empty. Nice room and service from our waitress was lovely. Food was a disappointment. Fried squid and courgette decent. I ordered the carbonara as it is claimed to be the best. It was not as it lacked the sauce needed to make it authentic. Clearly it is made the way it should be with no cream but another egg or two might have given it some lubricant. My friends porcini pasta was just overcooked. Shame as it could be so much better.

   Myself and my girlfriend were delayed 30 minutes arriving due to traffic but the staff were very understanding and kept our table even during a busy Friday evening service. The starters were amazing, we got the wild mushrooms, truffle and smoked mozzarella arancini as well as the bruschetta. I would highly recommend the arancini! For mains we both got pizza, which was very filling and tasted lovely but in retrospect I wish I had tried the carbonara. We got two glasses of the Pinot Grigio which was very smooth but quite steep when buying by the single glass opposed to by the bottle, although, it was worth it. All in all, the service was outstanding and the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant made it the perfect place for a date night in central London, I will definitely be back!

   A great authentic Italian in the heart of London. This busy restaurant offers great tasting food with homely service. We especially like the arracini.
