Very average quality Italian restaurant. I ordered the Penne all'Amatriciana e Parmigiano (14 GBP), which was basically just a bowl of average penne with lots of overly salty tomato sauce. There was barely any bacon in there. When they added the parmesan on top, they didn't even ask me how much I wanted. Not much else to say about the pasta considering there wasn't much else in there.

The staff were not particularly friendly either. Upon entering, there was no one there to greet us for a while. Then, in a very rushed manner, one of the guys hurried us to the downstairs area to point us to our table and tell us we only had an hour to eat (he left before we even got seated). I understand they were busy at the time and I am glad we didn't have to wait long even on a weekend night, but still, would have been nice if he was more welcoming. At least the service speed was decent. Also, there was a good amount of seating between the ground floor and basement level. The interior is a sort of plain Italian restaurant style.

So overall, I was not that impressed by the food or the service here, which is why I am giving 3 stars.

Came by for dinner and the dining rooms were packed. They were able to seat us without a reservation. With that said, the service was lacking. And we were crammed in a small table with barely enough room for us. 

Skip the salad with grilled chicken. The fresh pasta and pizza were okay. Everything was reasonably priced.

We came here on the recommendation from our hotel receptionist. They indicated we should try avoid any Italian restaurant that has non-Italian cooks; themselves also being Italian.

We had a great experience at this restaurant.  For our meal we both enjoyed the most delicious goat cheese salad along with a Margherita Pizza that was wonderful.  The service was excellent, we were served by a number of different waiters and they were all great. It was a very cute restaurant, we were seated in the back room which two of the walls were glass and you could see into the business next store. We surely return next time we are in London

Fantastic find in Covent Garden. The unassuming front doesn't do justice to the sinful surprise inside. The homemade pasta and superbly simmered sauces were exquisite. The sausage and cheese atop were lightly charred to perfection. I savoured every bite. My companion's ravioli was delicious with a light, creamy sauce and fresh ricotta on the side. This restaurant was recommended by Italian friends as the most authentic they've had in London. The experience exceeded my expectations. I've read reviews with complaints on seating and staff but our experience was fabulous.

Food not good. I got the swordfish. I think it was frozen and heated up. It tastes terrible. 

Wine not good. 

Ambiance boring. 

Service bad. 

I can't believe this has the stars it does. Don't come here.

Came here with my buddy and his friend. I'd been here before a few years ago, and remembered the food as good. This time we ordered a few pizzas for variety, and a bottle or two of wine.

The restaurant itself is very busy, with lots of staff and patrons stepping over each other to get where they need to. This kind of detracted from the meal as our table was centered in the midst of all the foot traffic.

The pizzas themselves are thin crust, if not a little more oily than I'd like. Their simplest pizza -- The Margherita -- actually turned out to be the best-tasting one for me. Simplicity refined, and in the best way possible.

We had lots of leftovers which I took back to my apartment where I was vacationing, so breakfast the next morning was sorted! :-D

A great find in the Covent Garden area. Excellent food and good service. 
Can be difficult to get a table and it's quite cramped and can be very noisy.

But definitely worth it

Wet casual but good food. Feels like a cafeteria setting but very reasonably priced and good food.

We sat in the lower level where there was an iron oven and colorful paintings on the wall. It was a cute  Italian vibe. We ordered the casereccio pizza and it was alright but needed more flavor. I recommend adding the chili oil which made it a lot tastier 15.
