Reviews
This is a wonderful, cosy, authentic Italian. The menu had a great selection, the servers were lovely and friendly and wine was good. I particularly appreciated that they offer smaller glasses of wine on request, as I'm not supposed to drink much for health reasons but the wine was delicious so I was glad to be able to enjoy it without having too much. We were stuffed after leaving here and would be very happy to return and recommend to others!
Absolutely 10/10! By far, the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever experienced in the UK. We were invited by Italian friends for dinner, which added an authentic touch to our evening. The restaurant is beautifully located by the river, which adds a picturesque charm to the entire dining experience. For starters, my husband and I ordered the *Frito di Calamari*. The dish was mind-blowing — perfectly fried calamari and zucchini served with a delicious tartare sauce. The squid rings were tender, not chewy, which made it a standout dish. For our mains, we opted for the *Al Forno Pizza* and the *Spaghettoni al Cartoccio*. The pizza was split into two halves, one featuring smoked mozzarella with turnip greens and sausage, and the other half being tomato-based with ham and mozzarella. Both halves were undeniably delicious and full of rich, authentic flavors. To finish, we were persuaded by our friends to try their handmade gelatos, and I must say, they were the best I’ve ever had. We tried the pistachio and chocolate flavors, and while I’m usually not a fan of chocolate ice cream, this one was exceptional. It had a smooth texture, wasn’t overly sweet, and was simply irresistible. The service was fantastic, with friendly and helpful servers who made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a 10/10 dining experience! Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Italian food in a lovely setting.
This place is the most italian and authentic than anywhere we’ve ever been to in London . We traveled 40 miles especially to come and enjoy the fantastic service and the lovely food that they serve. Thank you very much for your hospitality and warm welcome.
