    I mean WOW, this place is truly amazing. I had tuna tartare - so delicate and delicious. Beef tartare - so fresh and lightly seasoned. Beef tagliata with bone marrow - another reason to love life

    Anything with truffle is always delish, isn't it? I loved the white chocolate dessert with tropical sorbet too. Oh, be prepared to be surrounded by loats of suits.

    Small selection of very good interesting cocktails.. If you like truffles the white truffle ice cream is a must! The veal is amazing and the mushroom fettuccine is done incredibly well! Fav!

    Oops and I forgot to mention, you ABSOLUTELY must try at least once in your lifetime the courgettes as a side dish...be ready to be surprised! We devoured them!

    Amazing!I'm Italian and very fussy when I'm looking for a decent Italian restaurant in London. But this is without a doubt the best Italian place I've been to! The risotto is absolutely perfect!!

    Great Italian food, great drinks, great service. Try the arancini and these little n'duja rolls. So naughty but so, so nice.

    Very good espresso. Ask for it to be short (or ristretto) if you like it strong. At £1.50 it beats every other dedicated coffee place in the area.

    Great Italian in the middle of the city. Very good service and great food. Perfect business lunch option. Crisp and dependable every time.

    Very nice setting. Good vibe. However, ordering system reminds the lenghty Italian bureaucracy, moving from one till to the other just to pay. Lasagna is good, but a bit over-priced.

    Excellent food on a Friday night, lively in the bar area but still maintained some intimacy when eating. Pizza was very good and nice red wine

    Cooking class on Saturday with the head chef and team was such a treat! Breakfast, a lesson, and a delicious, leisurely lunch with great company. Really exceptional food.

    Thursday nights are the main night that it gets busy. Happy hour is until really late on a Friday.

    one of the best Italian restaurants that you will ever come across here in London. I strongly recommend you to visit it.

    For sides, make sure you get the fried courgettes: thinly sliced, like "normal" fried, and absolutely delicious.

    Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pasta dishes and service. Unfortunate the fit out makes you feel like you're back in 2001.

    Isn't as relaxed as you'd expect from a 'cafe'. Small portions so get some sides!

    Great Italian. Expensive but worth it. Fritto misto is awesome, but go for a light main after...

    Awesome restaurant. Brilliant service. If it's your first time, try the Sicilian rabbit. It's divine.

    Good menu but the quality is a little lacking - especially the pastas and pizzas, which are nothing special.
