    So noisy because of big tables in the back that my guest and I couldn't talk through dinner.

    We had a delicious meal. Both of us ordered different pizzas and both were wonderful. We were surprised by an enormous bread and olive tray each being delivered to us at the start of the meal. Service was attentive (there were a few trainees learning on the night we visited). I am glad we booked early (pre-theatre) as the restaurant filled up quickly and was quite lively by the time we left. We will definitely return and look forward to trying out lunch service. Thanks!

    The front of house and maybe owner who took our orders was very grumpy character. Barely got a word out of him in any of our interactions. Even when I paid not even a word of thanks. Kind of soured what was a good eating experience in a nice buzzy lunch spot .

    Our waiter Rafael was very knowledgeable about the wine list and led us to the perfect red for our meal of the tagliatelle special and the orichiette with ragu. Food is authentic Italian, excellently prepared and service was very good. We ate very early and as we were leaving restaurant was filling up on a Tuesday night, so obviously very popular as well.

    The restaurant is small, cosy and comfortable. That’s really the best bit. The food was mediocre, with starters and pizza’s just ok. The dessert was the high spot. Overall a very expensive lunch at £186 for 4 (£9 for a glass of white wine!). Sadly I can’t recommend.
