Giuseppe is an absolute asset at GM taking care of FOH. The service is unrushed and staff are professional.
The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. 
Be sure to try the Mandorlato after dinner!

Quelle Domage!  Love the dramatics--but  seriously this fine restaurant that I've eaten at on numerous occasions while in London slipped last night. A lovely simple menu with tempting descriptions falls short. When you're eating a pasta dish you can make better at home you begin to wonder what happened? So look all the other visits were "4"-- I'm willing to try again. Nice server explaining "new chef"-- and likely overwhelmed by group of 25 sitting at the back of the restaurant.  But hey not my problem right? Wait times for food way excessive. Big party again.  Go but be cautious

An Italian "Eat Pray Love" moment in the center of London. So nice after British Pub food. Lovely service. Brilliant menu, deliciously hand made pastas with a stellar wine list to boot.

*wishing we did this: Make a reservation for one of the two window front tables! Much of the ambiance is enhanced with the passerby's of local London street pedestrians, black taxi's shaped like a Churchill top hat, and the quintessential big red bus.

A lovely spot for a morning coffee. When the weather is good, the sidewalk tables are a nice place to sit. 

Service is satisfactory but not particularly warm and welcoming. It was rather annoying to have one server tell me to "sit anywhere" and then after I was seated another server asked me to move to a different table.

Solid food and solid service.  Good food for the price. We had both entrees of fish at our table and they were very solid.

Food was fabulous all the way from starters to dessert! The manager Giuseppe was awesome and very patient with us. We loved our experience here and would definitely return to enjoy this restaurant. You wont be disappointed. Turned out to be our favorite restaurant in London!

Pleasant ambiance and service.  Relaxing place to dine.  

Food was oily and really salty, neither of which I'm sensitive to.  Plating unattractive. Portions large.  Wine list weak.  

Tables too small. 

Surprised this place has more than one location.  It shouldn't have any!

Good location and pleasant staff. The kitchen is way too slow. One hour and seven minutes for the main course to come. When it came, it was too salty.
