A place where all are welcome.

YUM!! Don't miss out on this place. We loved everything about it - the ambience; the staff ( Umit is delightful ), the conscientiously sourced, delicious flavor-bomb food; and the whole philosophy of the restaurant. Treat yourself to the Huevos Rancheros and the red mojo potatoes. Also the oat flat white was caffeine perfection. Kudos to all of you. You gave us a wonderful start to our first day in London.

Buzzing yet intimate Restaurant with great service and top quality Italian food - the lamb croquettes are a must... exceptional!!! Wine list is more than adequate and perfect for the menu and also reasonably priced. This place is a little gem of a restaurant and ideal for a business lunch, social or for a larger party. Food is presented well and service is swift and attentive. Would recommend and will be coming back.
