Reviews
The service was impeccable. Food was so delicious. The pasta, risotto, sourdough, and the burrata were all amazing. Great atmosphere too!
Came here to celebrate mine and my partner’s anniversary and it was a great treat. Would highly recommend and will definitely come back for more of the Seafood pasta and Truffle pasta (nicely paired with Gavi white wine). Great service from Sebastian (general manager) and all the other staff! Loved the ambience - nice and dim and romantic. It also wasn’t loud even though there was a large group seated across the room. Looking forward to the next time we dine here.
Atmosphere and service was amazing. Food was fantastic, comparing with authentic Italian food. It was really good and tasteful. I needed to drop 1 star for food only because lasagne felt like heat up and not freshly baked (taste was amazing). Tiramisu was made in front of us, so nice experience. Good highlight and end to your dinner. We had arancini as starter, lasagne, chicken Milanese with roasted potatoes and tiramisu as dessert. Would definitely come back.
We went for dinner after a show at the theatre, as it is very close to the Royal Albert Hall. The restaurant is gorgeous and very cosy, and I loved the candlelight touch. The staff were very attentive and nice, the service was good, though not perfect, as we noticed some minor mistakes that are not worth mentioning since they did not really bother us. The food was very good. The arancini was amazing and I loved the truffle pasta, however, it was quite short on truffle and did not justify the price. My partner ordered the meatballs, which do not come with sides and were quite basic, so I consider them overpriced if you want to order potatoes on the side. The tiramisu was ok but looks better than it tastes, they used some cheap‑tasting instant cocoa on top that slightly killed the flavour, disappointing. They also made a show of preparing the tiramisu “in front of you”, but they were actually about two tables away from us and we could not see how it was made, so they might as well have prepared it in the kitchen and brought it straight to the table. The tableware was lovely, loved the plates. I will come back, as we enjoyed the dinner overall, but there are a few things that could be improved.
Had a wonderful experience here. The staff were incredibly friendly - especially Shilpa, who made us feel very welcome. The food was great, and the atmosphere was cozy, relaxed, and romantic. A really lovely place for a nice evening out. Would definitely recommend!
