Such a delightful lunch experience last Sunday! As I mentioned, I really love tiramisu, and my wish came true—it was served in such an authentic way! The pasta was a bit salty for me, as I usually eat less salty food, but the customer service was so pleasant. Thank you for making the reservation and waiting for me there! I also discovered a farmer’s market next to the restaurant, which was another wonderful surprise 🤩. I plan to visit the market every Sunday to pick up some special ingredients for my cooking 🧑🍳. London is treating me well!
Food was nice but lacking in a bit of substance. There were two prawns in a £36 bowl of pasta and two meatballs in my partners pasta. Service was virtually non-existent and we had to flag our waiter for drinks and they remove the drinks menu each time. They tried to remove my starter which was not finished when they brought our mains and one of the dishes was chipped. Atmosphere is lovely but I wouldn’t return and don’t rate the value for money aspect.
Had an absolutely amazing Sunday afternoon with friends celebrating friendships and achievements. The Doctor was the best waiter ever ! Hospitable and helpful with food recommendations ! The atmosphere is great and love the energy of the place. I love my burrata the most. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a great Italian restaurant in the London area !
*I highly recommend you book, its unlikely you will get a walk-in table for dinner and I watched many people try and fail whilst waiting for my table. Also, you aren't guaranteed a space upstairs, it's wherever you're seated on the system so just keep that in mind if you're main motivation is the aesthetics. A nice edition to the Big Mama chain on restaurants . The restaurant is very showy and extravagant to sit in, with a slightly more muted downstairs area which I was seated in. I preferred this as the tables were less squeezed together and it felt more calm with less people in the way trying to get the best pictures. All the staff were kind and helpful and I found the service to be very good, though a slower than I expected, seeing as you have a time limit for your table (we stayed around 30mins longer than the amount we were meant to have). That being said, we still had a 3 course meal and didn't feel rushed at all which was excellent. The food was very good (definitely preferred over Ave Mario where I found the food salty and not well seasoned) though I personally wish there was less items on the menu that were so heavily cheese centred. I had the seafood pasta and the amount of seafood included was decent but not overly generous. Portions in my opinion are good, after finishing my food I was certainly full up. The drinks were good and the seats comfortable. Our bill was around £220 plus service charge for 2 people and we had antipasti to share, a primi (pasta) and a dessert each and 3 alcoholic drinks, mainly being cocktails. Not the cheapest of places but I would recommend for an occasion or a nice treat.
Thank you to everyone at this wonderful restaurant we have wanted to come here since it opened. The food was delicious , came promptly and was presented beautifully , some notable mentions from the amazingly friendly staff , Augustino and Ivan were perfect hosts also the gentleman with the glorious hair I didn’t get his name. The bathrooms here certainly have the wow factor I thought I was in a nightclub 😂🕺🏻 Anyway lovely afternoon lovely location lovely everything can’t wait to come back
