Do not eat here if you have any dietary requirements! One of our party required gluten free food. And despite calling ahead to enquire about what was available, there was still a lot of confusion and uncertainty from staff about what was and wasn't gluten free at the restaurant. We had to ask several times for clarification and they would go check with the chef. But even then we weren't that confident. Surely an allergies book would have saved a lot of hassle? So we weren't off to a good start and then when the food arrived, the carbonara pasta sauce was horrible. It didn't taste quite right. The 3 of us that had the carbonara were all ill that night. It was a hugely disappointing first, and as a result, last visit. The staff did their best, but need better training in food intolerances. We definitely won't be coming here again.

Food was delicious but they weren't able to offer us out first choice due to it taking "over an hour to make pesto". There had been a fault with the fridge overnight but strange to take so long on pesto. The waitress serving us seemed more interested in being elsewhere but the waiter was a delight. When we came to pay she directed us to the bar, which was faulty and the waiter went to get a different tablet ...the one by her station that she could have used instead of directing us away.

I needed somewhere to have lunch with a colleague close to Euston/KX and found DeGusto on OpenT, offering a pleasant-looking Italian menu. And perhaps, of an evening, it would be a good experience. But we were the only diners on this particular lunchtime, and that was very off-putting. Despite this, the service was casual to slow, especially when it came to seeing if the food produced was OK. We only had a main course each. My friend had the octopus and enjoyed it. I had the risotto, which was terrible. It was reheated cold rice, and was not even reheated properly - some bits were hot, some warm, a bit of it only cool. It had a meagre two prawns, two bits of asparagus, and ZERO flavour. With 2 glasses of wine, all this was around £40 per head. I will not be going back.

We were delighted by the food - the menu was creative, not just standard Italian staples, and the dishes we had were delicious. What's not to love about an arancina in a carbonara sauce! They had a duck ragu on as a special that night, trying it out for a potential standard menu dish, and it was as good, if not better, than ones we had had in Venice a few months before!

We booked a table for 8 people regarding to nice food photos on the website, however we were a bit disappointed with the size and look of the portions even they were tasty.They were looking cheap on the plate and not as on photos.We had a good time together and awesome polish/asian waiters so we left happy. Thank you.

Ate here before a nearby theatre visit, so it was early (5.30) on a Monday. As a result it was very quiet, and rather lacked atmosphere. But we enjoyed our meal and wine, and service was good. The menu was varied and interesting, and we would certainly book again if we were in the neighbourhood.
