I was skeptical before coming given the low google rating, but happy to say it very much exceeded expectations!

The signature cacio e pepe was amazing - very al dente and creamy. The lasagne and burrata were also delicious. The chocolate ice cream was the dessert highlight - great flavours and texture.

Read the reviews again and it seems like a lot of the issues were with the service, which was generally fine for us. Agreed that the lady server was very friendly!

wonderful italian tastes not to be served by such unpolite french servants. even we have arrived just on time as our reservation time, the first sentence of the servant who led us to the table was "YOU HAVE 1 HOUR TO EAT. WE ARE FULLY BOOKED". the warm sprit of the italian kitchen turns to a rush to fill your stomach. the food and the atmospehere was great but we were very unhappy that we will not go again.

Well we tried 6 different dishes on their menu but the overall impression was not wow. Their cacio e pepe was up to expectations. Chicken liver pâté with caramelized kumquat was actually the most interesting. The rest were average. They have an interesting wine list. A bit pricey but understandable for this nice location and atmosphere. Friendly though a bit slow services.

Didn’t live up to my expectations.
Food was good but nothing over the top.
Best dish was the hash brown tartar.
The cacio e Pepe was good too but not the best I’ve had.
Lasagna was also nice.
Beside that, nothing to go back for.
Tiramisu was bad and not worth the bite.
Unfortunately such limited wine selection.
The staff was super nice.

I tried a selection of dishes (focaccia, chicken liver pâté with caramelized kumquats, slow cooked veal with tuna emulsion, Gnocchi with calamari, Ricotta Ravioli) and everything was delicious, 10/10!
BUT Cacio e Pepe was absolutely amazing. Would definitely go back to eat it again.
