    Rigatoni with sausage and meatballs.
    Ben Y.

    When does a trip to Demartino become more than just that? It sat across the street from my residence, beckoning to be entered by my dancing taste buds. The wind often carried a certain scent of tomato and mozzarella that wafted through my lonely window. My consortium of amigos were just as eager as I was as our feet propelled us towards Demartino. When we entered, a blast of authenticity surged through the very hearts that were keeping us alive. When we were immediately seated, we gazed at the menu as a child does when he enters a wholesome toy shop. Our glazed eyes reflected back options of Italian splendor; rigatoni, ravioli, lasagna, spaghetti, and so much more. The words leaped off the pages and frolicked through our imaginations. A family photograph on the bottom of a page in the menu let us know we were home. The Demartino family stared back at us as if to say, "welcome to mi casa, enjoy the dinner I've cooked for you." A grin came over my youthful face. As someone who came from a loving Italian side of my family, it almost felt like I was in Aunt Kibi's house as the ziti baked in the oven. When we looked down at our silverware, a deathly scare overcame us. My forks didn't match. Neither did my friend's across from me. My mates at both sides didn't have spoons. The friend to my left only had one fork. What did it mean? We may never know. The waitress dropped off a pitcher of water. I tasted every bit of hydrogen and oxygen that combined to form such a glorious liquid and I thanked the heavens for it. Suddenly a foreign voice entered the fray. A woman sitting near us inorganically struck up a conversation with members of our table. She rattled off coherent recommendations for what we should order. It all seemed relevant and in good fun, but when she started to ask personal questions, a terror shook my core. Eventually she faded away like the fog on a warm window and was never heard from again (except when she left). Our gracious waitress took our orders: rigatoni for a few, spaghetti as well, even ravioli for a couple. It was all par for the course in Italy. Yet...we were in London. You'd hardly know by looking at the Italian impressionistic art from the bustling creative industry of the wonderful home country. Our orders arrived in a jiff. No sooner did the plates hit the table did our forks spear the noodles below. We gobbled the meat and pasta as if today was our last of life. When the forks were banging empty dishes, we had hardly remembered what it was like to not be eating at Demartino. We had become one with the restaurant. It was time to pay. A dish plopped onto the table that contained at least 10 small chocolates that snapped in our mouths like the neck of a chicken. We loved the addition to the meal and felt the Italian delights were a true treat indeed. The waitress capably divided the bill into both credit cards and cash, no small feat mind you. It all went smoothly as a spring's rain. It was time to leave, but we hadn't even realized it. We sat there amazed that it all had ended just as it began. But together we made a promise: to return to Demartino again just as hungry, excited, and ready to come home.

    My brosephs and dad stopped into this restaurant on a whim the last time we were in London and I was very glad we did. Cheerio! They serve a pretty wide variety of Italian dishes and I would consider it very authentic. As in, I'm Michael Corleone and I'm trying to find a good place for a meeting with McClusky and Sollozzo. May I go to the bathroom? The owner and servers were kinda hasty but it was late and, after all, they're Italian. They're supposed to be quick tempered, right? The food seems more northern Italian but I'm no expert. I had some kind of veal dish and the others had pasta. Wines were great and everything was moderately priced. I'd definitely go back and suggest you do too. And now, some Family Guy: "Hey Copernicus, why don't you navigate yourself to the back of the line!"

    This restaurant deserves 4 stars for it's decent food and prices (great seafood and pastas), large portions, wonderful service and exceptionally friendly staff, and great atmosphere. You'll find many locals here and the place packed on most nights.

    You will reunite with your taste buds,  discover what you have been missing. ..

    I think this is a really good Italian. The pasta is fresh and Ravioli handmade and delicious. I don't know anyone whose had a bad meal here.

    One must try the baby chicken and ask Franco to sing you a song, he has a very powerful opera voice.

    Yum! Delightful, intimate,…read more Enjoyed the pasta de fruit. Lovely flavors. Small seafood bits. The clams were Very small. Close to my hotel. Would come again. .

    My husband and I stumbled (quite literally) into Bocconcino after hitting a wall of jet lag and…read morehunger. The hostess took pity on us and allowed us spots at the bar without reservations. The bartender was absolutely charming and amazing, and he made a truly outstanding Ramos Gin Fizz (a cocktail from New Orleans that few people know how to make, and even fewer want to make). Not sure how that cocktail came up, but he seriously deserves a round of applause for making not one, but two. He truly revived my soul! I split the gazpacho and short rib pasta with my husband. The short rib pasta was magically both light and hearty; it was exactly what we needed after 18 hours of travel. We frequently travel, and I am highly skeptical of Italian food when outside of Italy. Bocconcino was an authentic experience that rivals many of our meals in Rome. Maybe it was jet lag, but I did almost lock myself into the water closet and luckily after a few minutes manage to unlock the stall door without calling for assurance. I suggest visiting with a friend for gossip and security! As far as ambiance, there was great people watching with the Saturday evening patrons; it was an experience in learning about London 'going out' fashion, and watching the very attractive staff interact with customers was a prime education in upper class customer service/flirting. My parting comment is that the bartender stole my heart and I hope to have another of his delicious beverages on a future trip!
