Authentic and delicious Italian place!! On top of that, the service made our dining experience…read morethere even better. We ordered asparagus with butter and fried fish with spinach and tartar sauce. The ingredients were fresh but nothing too special. The pasta is AMAZING!! I got the tagliatelle with lamb ragu. The lamb is so soft it melts in your mouth and the pasta sauce is spot on. My friend ordered spaghetti with Mediterranean seafood. She said it was really good as well but the clams weren't cleaned well since she could still taste the grit. Other than that I would say it is one of the best pasta places I've been to. The ambiance is classy & noisy. No need to dress up or anything. Most of the customers seems to be regulars around the area. Definitely £££ so it's a bit pricy!!

Enjoyed a very lovely dinner here last night with a couple friends…read more The atmosphere was great with the Classic Italian family feel to it- welcoming and professional without feeling too formal. The decor was great as well, clean and crisp with the piano music adding to the vibe. For my main, I had the tagliatelle with scampi, artichoke and tomato. The dish, though beautifully presented, I felt lacked a bit of flavour- think it needed a hit of citrus or some pepper? Dessert was very tasty, though not the best creme brûlée I've had- taste was there but my sugar crust was not so crunchy in places, could have used a few more minutes under the grill. Our wine was superb! Great selection in a range of price points. 4 stars for great service, ambiance, and a lovely meal with fantastic wine!

We had the seafood platter which consisted of a whole lobster, jumbo king prawns, mussels and clams. Not a huge mussel or clam fan myself but we did not leave anything behind.

Went for dinner on valentines and realized we have a find right under our noses on West End Lane…read more My wife had the oysters and I had the tiger prawn appetiser. Both were very good. The prawns were head on and butterflied over a bed of lettuce with a lime and chili sauce. Very fresh and delicious. For the mains my wife had the seafood dream which was a seafood tagliatelle that was out of this world. Fresh made linguini with an excellent tomato sauce flavoured with brown shrimp and loads of seafood. I had the vitello marsala which was the only lowlight. The veal was perfectly cooked and very tender but was just too sweet for me. The waitress explained it was true marsala the Sicilian way but not my taste. That said they were extremely nice and took it off the bill. Dessert was banofee pie with nutella which was excellent. Given the service and food quality of everything bar the marsala I'll be a neighbourhood regular. Highly recommended given the service and food quality put this with one of the better Italians I've had in London.

So we were in London for a vacation with our grown son and perusing different sites for top rated…read morerestaurants. Tortellini Cup came up in the top twenty. Our son saw the listing and thought the whole concept to be terrific! It quickly became a thing all vacation, where should we go for dinner? Tortellini Cup! Well we were mostly joking because it wasn't anywhere near our hotel and it was usually pretty late by the time we got back and were ready to eat. But on the second to last night, we had gotten in fairly early and had no other plans so Tortellini Cup became our quest. We looked up directions and hopped on the Tube. We made our way there without any problems. So worth it! Now don't be expecting anything big and fancy. This is literally a cart of a restaurant in the lobby of a shopping mall. There some stools to sit at and a few tables near it. Walk right up and place your order. You will be so glad you did. Turned out to be one of the best meals we had. The pasta and sauce are nice and fresh and oh so tasty. Portions are good sized. Certainly enough for the average appetite (our son needed two but he has a very large appetite.) We also got one of the sandwiches which was toasty and hot. They even serve wine and beer. An added bonus for my hubby! There is good reason this place is rated so high, the food is great and the concept works!

My daughters got themselves some delicious tortellini, the pasta had been made on the premises. So much so you can watch them making it. They each chose a different sauce and kept on eating from each other's bowl. For me, I had a savory eggplant parmagian (gluten free!!) and it couldn't have been more satisfying and tasty. Like an eggplant lasagne. I was so impressed with the food and the service was incredibly friendly. It is a small food bar and well worth trying next time you are by the O2 Centre.

There is something enchanting about this part of Finchley Road anyway, kind of cosmopolitan yet cozy. I especially like showing up at this restaurant in the late morning, cleaned up but still massively jet-lagged, to get my bearings before the divine Palmers Lodge Hostel around the somewhat circuitous corner (by Northways Parade) will let me check in and unpack and crash. The fact that there is nothing ostentatiously "special" about this place but people keep coming back happily year after year shows how special it IS.

As I walked…read morein, the first clue that it might be good was the glance I took at the bar selection - they seemed to have the best of each type of liquor. I'd describe the cuisine as fresh, solid Italian food. The mozeralla salad was very well made, with very fresh ingredients. I ordered a baked lasagne for my main, and it took a bit longer than the other mains, which is a good sign: well made, well baked. We also ordered spaghetti bolognese and the meat sauce was amazing. Sometimes when you order the side vegetables at certain restaurants, you feel that perhaps the vegetable mix came already mixed before it was cooked, if you know what I mean. But not here. I had the sense that the broccoli, green beans, and carrots were all cooked separately and appropriately. There's an outdoor seating section overlooking Cricklewood Broadway, which is kind of cool and buzzy. Overall, they provide great, friendly service, and with the great Italian food, it makes for a a good experience, at reasonable (not "West End") prices.
