Really cool atmosphere with a low cave ceiling, comprehensive wine list and lots of cheese, charcuterie and some other British favorites. We began with wine, rose bubbles and a glass of champagne- unfortunately my champagne was room temperature which is a per peeve of mine but the rose bubbles were served ice cold in a cold glass?! My husband did enjoy his wine! We were asked about food but they never came back so we decided to enjoy our drinks and the unique atmosphere before heading out

On top of the incredible setting, the staff went above and beyond with their hospitality. They warmly congratulated us and even gave us a tour of the entire space. We got to see an elevator that stops at a secret spot, along with two private rooms on the second floor and three uniquely designed ones in the basement. Truly fantastic service. It's essentially a fancy breakfast tapas spot. While the overall vibe and service were amazing, the food was a bit hit-or-miss for the price: Truffled Eggs over Toast: Tasty, but way overpriced for what you get Croquette: Good French Toast: This came in a round shape, it was okay Mango: Delicious, lots of flavor, but literally just two tiny slices Chocolate Croissant: Definitely not worth it Go for the stunning design, unique atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality, but be selective with the menu!

Our server understood that we wanted to try many different wines that were available. Their recommendations on the wine list are an easy way to get to know different styles. The recommended red wine is a burgundy French wine that is light, supple and pairs easily with the cheese board. The white wine chardonnay is buttery and delicious. I would recommend giving them a chance and I do not think you will be disappointed.

The cheese plate featured an orange cheese that was tasteless. The blue was lovely. I ordered charred lettuce and it was sopping wet and over cooked.

I'm usually not a fan of these restaurants where you order via app. Not sure the quality had anything to do with that. But it is nearby our hotel and easy.

It was an epic plate with tons of meats and more foods. The place itself has a cool ambience and vibe. Staff was generally friendly but they seemed to prefer regulars.

Because of this, I'm always looking to try new places for wine. We happened to finish up our shopping on Jermyn street, and Fortnum and Mason were around the corner so we stopped in for something to relax. First, it is inside Fortnum and Mason and it's downstairs. So you must traverse through all the goodies to get to the place. It's not huge, but it is a nice place. They do wines by the bottle, glass or, if you're feeling super experimental, by the flight. I'm a huge fan of wine flights, and we opted for the champagne of the month flight. It was three glasses from their featured bubbly. And they were all good. The service can be a bit slow at times, but it's impeccable. They really go above and beyond when they make a mistake or there is a problem! There was a slight problem with our bill (the price of the flights were £3 too high), and while it took them awhile to get it sorted, they made sure we were completely happy before we left. (A little extra bubbly on the house? Don't mind if I do!) If I'm in the area, I'll be back. It's a bit pricier than other places, but it's nice to have a variety.

We started drooling over the cheese cart, so we ordered the selection of 3 for £12 (2 for £8, 5 for £15) and it came with a wonderful mix of crackers (or biscuits as you Brits call it) and bread. Definitely come here after a day of shopping in the area.

Our server Donna was wonderful and we even met the owner Giovanni who stopped by the table to make sure we had a excellent dinner and we told him how disappointed we were to be leaving the next day and unable to return again for dinner.

It's a quaint little Italian spot in the heart of London and it's a wonderful place to spend, especially at night. We ordered the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, the Strozzapreti Boscaiola, and a Bellini and Mimosa to go with our dinner. The food took just a little while to get here but I was sure that it was because they were taking their care with every dish the chefs made. I was right. The pasta was fresh, the sauce and the ingredients tasted very simple and hearty. It all tasted like my hypothetical imaginary nonna made it. The drinks were very good too and complimented the food nicely. Our waiter was absolutely the nicest guy ever. He was very attentive and made sure that we were happy with everything. In my head, I was going to tip him well, and then when we got the check, there was no option to tip. God save the UK. America could learn a thing or two about what it means to not make life all about work. That's beside the point. If you're in London, visit Bon Gusto. I can't wait to come again and happily hand them my money with the biggest smile on my face.

Kitchen was about to close so we got our orders in immediately. Started with the Affettati appetizer. They do not skimp on the portions! Prosciutto that nearly melts in your mouth, with a flavor that only got better when combined with the various cheeses. My guest ordered the formaggi con pane carasau cheese sampler. Admittedly, it was a little redundant with the Affettati but the honey complemented the cheeses so well that we devoured that as well. I wish I could say I am a wine connoisseur but I'm not. That doesn't stop me from truly enjoying a robust red. Happy with the selections. Overall, I have to say that I will definitely be back.

Disappointing would be an understatement. If I could give this place a negative star, I would. First of all, the place was almost empty when we arrived so we thought we would get served pretty quickly. Boy, were we mistaken! It took almost 15 minutes to just get the waitress over to get a menu and take our drinks over. After what seemed like an age, the drinks came out. But, she said she would be right back to take our dinner order. Nope! A couple more people came in and she forgot about us. 30+ later we ask for the manager so we can get our meal ordered. No apology from the manager, just attitude. In the end, the people that came in 15-20 minutes after us got served their appetizers and meals before we did! At the end of our meal, we spoke with the manager again. He didn't give a toss! Gave lots of excuses, served with an I don't give a $#!t attitude. To make matters worse, the food was awful!
