   Watered down Spritz, ridiculous prices for the quality/quantity of food provided. I am Italian and I know cicchetti and so called "Italian tapas" and this should have been half the price. The amount of ice in the spritz I could barely taste the Aperol. Fritto misto was a joke, mostly courgettes and tini tiny few prawns and mini squids, the "double" portion at 16.50 was a plate smaller than my hand. Was looking forward to dining there but will never go again. I knew prices were high and was willing to pay for a 'feel of home' experience, but was not expecting this low quality and extremely small portions.

   Lovely staff. Nice food but it’s too small inside with tiny tables. Feels quite squished so you just can’t really relax.

   Absolutely stunning food. Italian tapas. We had quite a mixture. The arancini were sublime. Haven’t had better since we were in Italy. Highly recommend.

   Amazing little place, really good vibe, food was delicious. Perhaps a little bit on the pricey side but overall loved it and would go back!

   It was lovely , very cosy but the food was only okay. The carbonara was quite poor , no flavour and literally had 5 tiny bacon bits in the dish. The staff were lovely and so attentive. The prawns were delicious and the drinks too. But the food was only okay , was quite disappointing.
