    A true gem in the middle of London This wonderful restaurant has been around for years and serves only the most authentic ,delicious Italian food. The staff are always attentive, the specials always fabulous. The veal chop, a house speciality. Is not to be missed. What a treat. Never go to London without popping in. Open Monday’s to Saturdays.

    As always, a good Christmas menu, which was decent value for pretty good food. An unexpected seventh member of our party was accommodated without fuss, but we did have a slightly bizarre problem when the kitchen said that we either all had to have the set menu or none. Eventually it was sorted out and six had the menu and one a la carte. Very busy but the speed of service generally OK. Admirable bottles of Gavi and Valpolicella.

    Great food and ambience. However, the table we were seated at was adjacent to a long table with a large group celebrating a birthday and was a bit of a thoroughfare (there wasn't much space). The waiting staff who were just doing their jobs, kept bumping into us (and members of the party kept getting up and wandering around to talk to each other) which was quite annoying. We enjoyed the special of an arancini and the zucchini fries to start, and then had a risotto and ravioli. Food was good, wine nice, but if I returned I'd actively seek to sit elsewhere in the restaurant.
