    Happy faces!!!! We LOVED this place!
    Caroline S.

    This place is really good and also have us really great service. My group of 5 all loved our various dishes and beverages. The previous review about them not honoring the yelp coupon remains true, but they were kid enough to give us two free desserts to compensate which probably ended up being more than the discount would have saved. We loved this place and would highly recommend for anyone wanting a pre-primrose hill sunset dinner!

    Literally pieces of cheap salami and something else - as if straight from a pack

    Really poor quality meat and ingredients. Didn't taste nice .. Not much to say really. The smell of the meat was enough to turn us off eating it.

    A very nice little Italian place with friendly staff. I took the two course lunch menu and chose the eggplant parmigiana and the tagliatelle spinachi. And lunch came with a glass of red wine. Of course it was too much and I packed the rest to go, so I got to have a second yummy round of the leftovers!

    I made the mistake of ordering pizza from here. It's really really good, and I lived across the street.... so it was kind of a problem.

    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!
