   The staff were genuinely lovely and the wine was fairly priced but most of the food was forgettable. The chicken livers were a bright spot. I won’t be back, but if you’re passing by, it’s harmless enough to try once.

   Lovely authentic Italian restaurant near to Barbican. Delicious fillet steaks cooked to perfection. Cauliflower cheese was very well made,, a pleasant surprise! Service all good, would recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment.

   A real Italian restaurant with an amazing old school ascetic. Staff were super friendly and took us in for a last minute dinner. Thank you for your hospitality.

   A classic Italian neighbourhood resturant. Small menu but with all the classic dishes. The calamari, veal escalope, spaghetti al vongole were all good, not great but very tasty and good portion size. The perfect restaurant for a low key good value dinner or a small group of friends. I will definitely be heading back there

   Lovely cozy restaurant with classic dishes done simple and delicious without too much fuss, just non complicated and executed beautifully. Cooked with love with recipes passed down from generations. The baked aubergine (eggplant parmigiana) was exquisite as the eggplant was lightly fried, and the sauce you can tell is very light and homemade. Just a hint of basil and garlic. Lovely. The clams with linguini was just right. Reminded me of my Mama Rosaria's dish she made during Christmas eve. They give you bread and olives too. Nice gesture. Also wonderful feature that some dishes have option for starter or main dish portions. I really appreciated that feature.

   A truly terrible risotto - basically stodgy rice with no flavour - I felt cheated by having to pay for this. On more of a positive note the house wine was excellent and so were the olives. Both of which were sorely needed to provide some flavour. The rest of the food was okay and service was very good. Generally, for what appeared to be an authentic Italian restaurant one expects... A herb to be used occasionally.

   Excellent food and service. My main dish was quite large. Nice wine selection. We had an organic red that was quite tasty. Not too busy on a Friday night, so the place was not particularly noisy, which is something I greatly appreciate.

   It is authentic in a rustic way. For example, the chicken liver soup I ordered is quite like a mama style home soup and it contains a big portion of livers. But it is too large that I felt quite fed up already after this appetizer. The pasta is Al Dente but seafood coming with it is mediocre or lack of complexity. I still like it, but the flavor could be further improved to contain more elements. Tiramisu is homemade and quite alcohol heavy in taste. In sum, a good choice to experience homie cuisine. Maybe not for formal occasion.
