It was a bit chilly outside but with the heater and a lap blanket, we were fine! Bread is on the menu and needs to be ordered. I'm glad we did not have bread so we had room for dessert. Hubby had rigatoni da Mario which he said was excellent! I had the ravioli Portofino and they were so tender & delicious! All of the desserts are made in house. We ordered 2 - the lemon cake and the tiramisu - and shared them. Both were outstanding. We would definitely eat here again when in the neighborhood!

Even better than I remember and I learned a lot more about the restaurant such as it was Princess Diana's favorite pizza shop AND they developed the sauce for PizzaExpress.

They had a lunch special when I went and it was very well priced. I got the caprese as my salad and the pistachio pasta as my main, with gluten free pasta. The gluten free was amazing! Really good texture and the pistachio cream was just perfect. They gave me a lot of Parmesan, which made the dish just perfect. They have gluten free pizza too which I hope to try someday. The service was very kind and I enjoyed the ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant. Everything was simple but flavorful. Even the olive oil on the caprese was super rich and amazing.

Service was sweet and they helped us navigate the menu in search for vegetarian options. They never made is feel rushed. The food came quickly and everyone enjoyed it. I had cappellacci with spinach and mushrooms in a butter sauce. It was fantastic I tell you! The cappellacci was light and tender in a rich buttery sauce. I also tasted ravioli in a tomato cream sauce and it was great. I had some brandy in a sniffer that they warmed up for me. It was some of the best brandy I have had in a while. I loved my experience here at this family restaurant. It will always hold a special place in my heart and mind when it comes to London.

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.
