    So unusual to find a central London restaurant where food and service is exceptional and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. All the serving staff and the General Manager spoke to us and wished my friend a happy birthday with a complimentary desert and candle and limoncello. Really was an excellent experience all round in beautiful restaurant. Will return for sure

    This was our first time at this restaurant. We arrived early but it was not a problem although the restaurant was quite busy. We were put near the door and every time some one comes in or goes out the draft was just too much. They kindly changed our table to one further in. The two starters of Prosciutto Mozzarella and Calamari Fritti were very good especially the Calamari which was very crispy. The truffle pasta was excellent. The other main of Linguine Allo Scoglio was just as good. To top it the Rare Vineyards Malbec (French) was not bad at all. Thanks

    Nice that they don’t have music blaring on in the background. We go to this restaurant frequently and it doesn’t disappoint. The staff are exceptionally nice and friendly but know when to leave you alone. The food is always very good and reasonable.

    Mediocre food expected better. Booked an outside table. Firstly the tablecloth was dirty which was promptly changed on request next I was brought a wet tablecloth and couldn't be bothered to ask again. No linen napkins just normal paper napkins which to be honest for the price of the restaurant should have been linen . Calamari starter was uninspiring. Bread was dry and butter was solid . Pasta portions were tiny served on what looked like a starter plate. Overall a disappointing experience. Left hungry.
