Inattentive service throughout. I like to be offered a drink as soon as I sit down and while I’m looking through the menu as opposed to being sat down and waiting for 10 minutes till someone decides to come over and see you. Same with asking for the bill and paying the bill. No one scanning the tables for my needs.

Who could resist an all you can eat pasta Saturday lunch?! And no ordinary pasta, this is Palatino's exquisitely cooked offering. Four varieties from which to choose and proper sized portions too. Always leaving room for pudding we emerged into the wind and rain infinitely happier. This is what a neighborhood restaurant should be like...

Food is delicious and quite cheap considering the quality and chefs skills. Staff very lovely as well. Slightly put off by the location cause it’s basically the entrance of an office building but everything else makes up for this very minor pitfall :)

Best Italian Food we've had in ages! Service was excellent too - right mixture of friendly and efficient without interrupting too much. Excellent advice re dishes and wine. Wish we'd been more hungry so we could have tried the pudding.

My favourite dish is served in this restaurant, I love to go there every so often to get my fix - the Tonnorelli (OK I can't spell) is amazing. Apparently they do all you can eat pasta brunch on Saturdays - must go and gorge myself on that ;-)

Have visited Palatino several times when it first opened and enjoyed its authentic Roman dining and modern setting. This time wasn’t as successful and I doubt that I will return. Our server was fantastic and very knowledgable on the menu which needs some explaining. However, the food was so salty it was difficult to eat. We managed, but we were so hungry by that time. Everything was salty, even the side of rocket. The waitress was fabulous and apologised and they gave us a small discount but someone needs to reign in the salt in the kitchen. Also the room was nearly empty and lacking in atmosphere and this was on a friday night. Sadly. I can’t see this place lasting much longer and I will miss the Cacio e pepe which this time as per the other dishes was very salty. It’s a shame.
