Great prosciutto starter with a house wine! Wait staff were very friendly, very outgoing, and knowledgeable about the menu items. Gave great suggestions to our party of three. Sorry I didn't get pictures of the seafood spaghetti, however, it looked and tasted very good. I had a very delicious creamy pasta dish that went well with the wine. Would definitely go back and try other dishes.

The food was not very good, the owner is exceptionally rude, and the ambiance left nothing for me to write home about.

We picked this restaurant for dinner during a recent trip to London based on a review on Yelp and…read moreit lived up to expectations! It is a small sit, so reservations are a must, although they did accommodate some walk-ins. Everything was freshly made which added to an elevated experience. Service was perfect balance of being prepared to execute as well as being able to spending time getting to know each other. This palace is highly recommended!

This place was quite good but I don't think it was amazing and here's why:…read more 1 - you have to be a BIG fan of pecorino cheese. My mom is, which is why we went but there are rather limited options, at least on pasta courses, that don't include pecorino. 2 - we tried three different pasta dishes. What made them truly stand out was the freshness of the pasta. That said, the sauces weren't remarkable. I tried a special pasta with pecorino, butternut squash, and mushrooms which was nice and not heavy but not partial flavorful. 3 - the ambiance is great if you like a small restaurant- with maybe 10 tables and 500 sq ft of space, this restaurant has character and charm. 4 - the service was outstanding. The staff were kind and efficient. 5 - the dessert was just OK - had some scoops of ice cream and the peanutella was outstanding while the strawberry and the pistachio were just fine. 6 - the appetizer cheese plate was the real highlight of the night here. Fresh cold cuts and cheese with the most wonderful fig jam. All in all; this is a good stop and you certainly won't have a bad experience! Perhaps just not the most notable.

We're from San Francisco, and this was the very first place in London that my brother, sister and I…read moreate at ... and it was truly wonderful. Delightful atmosphere with outside seating, I chose it based on great reviews (and that it was near the Whole Foods in Covent Garden, where we could go shopping afterwards since we were staying in an Airbnb and it was our first night there and we needed tostock up). So we started with the margherita pizza as an appetizer and it was absolutely wonderful. My sister had the roast baby chicken with chips (these were similar to American steak fries), which she loved, and I tasted some of her chips and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My brother had a special pasta, tagliatelle with cream sauce, which looked great and he really enjoyed, and I had your basic spaghetti with beef ragout, but it was excellent. My sister enjoyed her slice of brownie cake with vanilla ice cream, and my brother and I shared a slice of decent cheesecake. Wonderful service, great server. Highly highly recommend!

This is a local favorite. We are from the States. The owner…read moreis very friendly. The meals were amazing! Wifey had the lobster ravioli and I had the seafood linguine. Both were flavorful without being over powering. The homemade fuchsia bread was to die for. Finally, the best tiramisu finished the meal. We wish we had more time to cone back.
