    Great little restaurant, both our starter and pasta were delicious. Really authentic Italian food. Service was friendly and quick ( we were off to the ballet) plus value for money was great. Would definitely go back and would recommend to friends.

    This restaurant had very good reviews and it was close to Sadlers Wells. We probably would never have chosen it otherwise. It’s nothing to look at really on the outside but it’s a real find. Food was great with a good variety on offer. The service was excellent. It was incredibly good value. We will definitely return - loved it.

    The food was very good with adequate sized portions. Service was good despite the restaurant being busy. The only negative is that the tables are very close together.
