    Good food with an interesting twist - veal cooked sous vide, which made it very tender. Interesting menu - not too overwhelming. Lovely people - we had a good natter in Italian with them. Difficult to judge value as we had a Groupon, but the menu seemed reasonable. We hope to go back.

    There seems to be an unspoken rule that the fewer the customers in a restaurant, the less attention the waiters pay to them, when they did, they were well-mannered. Odd Melanzane parmigiano had separate ingredients but quite good. Two other starters ok but again slightly odd ingredients. Main course of Osso bucco nothing special and my fish was dripping in butter but also ok. The millefeuille was not. A tub of pistachio goo with a few pastry leaves on top. Uneatable. We will not be returning.

    This is a terrific chef-style restaurant near Olympia, Kensington. It is family run, but feels absolutely professional. The Osso Buco was sublime. Generally speaking, when the appetizers and main courses are excellent, the desserts are wanting. This was not the case here.

    The food can be excellent but it is variable: some dishes are put together strangely or have one piece that is a bit odd/off---the sauce, for example. The interior decorating is not quite right; the lights are super-white/cold, the dining room smells strongly of bleach, and the art work on the walls is weird. The staff try very hard and are very nice. The wine list is very good. Overall it is a strange place that tries hard but is overpriced as a result.

    I got in touch with Accigua to help me organise a client dinner, unfortunately it fell through but I was still very much keen to try it out myself. I was not disappointed as the manager made myself and my friend feel incredibly welcome and kept giving us little snacks in between meals. The portions of the meals were perfect because they were filling without making me feel full and heavy. At the end of our meal, my friend and I were invited to an art lunch that was being hosted there. I am very keen to go back as the service was outstanding and incredibly caring. Almost like attending a dinner hosted by a relativr

    If you want to taste the real Italian traditional kitchen (granny's recipes, but with a touch of uniqueness and modern taste), this is the place for you. Focaccia, pesto, delicious pasta, all cooked with fresh ingredients coming from the best food markets in town. The place was elegant but at the same time comfy and familiar.

    The food is Ligurian and Piedmont based. Excellent starter and pasta true to how it should be and taste. This comment comes from a Ligurian. The chef trained in a restaurant in Genoa which has a Michelin star and one can see it in the presentation and the balanced taste. The ambiance can be improved:too much lights, candles on the table not lit, very bright art which clashes with the architectural decor of the walls. The linen was very elegant.Just dim the light and remove the art and the restaurant is great!

    Wanted to try this restaurant when it opened. We tried to get a table just by calling in but never could. Decided to book through Opentable - there weren't any options at the regular 7.30 - 8.30 time so went for a 9pm table. Very surprised to turn up at 9pm to a virtually empty restaurant to be asked if we were the ones that booked (no name required!). The lights were on full so was quite tiring to sit in such strong light. It felt like there were problems and the few tables that had people the kitchen was struggling to cope. Food not even close to the standard we were expecting. Service was very good and friendly (best part of the meal). No way we were going to risk dessert..... Got the bill and got out of there!

    This is a very good restaurant. I've been going to Liguria for almost 20 years and the food is spot on. Don't let anyone tell you different. Go to this restaurant!

    The concept is interesting, but unfortunately the choice of dishes is too narrow at this restaurant, the portions are small and although well prepared, do not impress. Also, the lighting is harsh and the artwork does not seem to fit the more traditional table settings. A shame, since a more up market Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood would be welcome.
