What diners say

Popped into this place last Friday (early march) and had no booking. It was bus but managed to get a seat at the bar. I had toast with pate to start and a vegetarian main. Think it was sweet potato with pecorino over the top. Something like that. Both dishes were delicious and left me wanting more so I ordered tiramisu for dessert. Equally yummy. The foods clearly great here but what I liked most was the atmosphere and the vibe. It’s dimly lit and still vibrant. Noisy but in a good way. Staff are vigilant and quick. Wine was also good! I loved my meal here and I’m 100% going to go back. Probably more than once.

A lovely and authentic Italian restaurant. I visited for a B' day lunch and am now a big fan! The interior is quite romantic and quaint with a good choice of background music, making it really atmospheric. The service is very personal, with a friendly team and the food, a real Italian experience. I'll definitely be back again soon!

This place has been on my list forever, and I loved the old school vibe and the £5 negronis - in terms of food, we had the tomato salad, the Parmesan and radicchio salad, the penne alla vodka, the trofie with pesto and the tagliolini with asparagus, which were all good (perfect for comfort food, though nothing particularly extraordinary). Our server was a bit hard to get a hold of, though overall no complaints with the timing of the dishes or the service. Will be back!

Booked for dinner with few colleagues after work…really good authentic Italian food, service was excellent and atmosphere was great. Menu offers lots of Tuscan original dishes with few other options. “Tortelli in brodo” were the best dish followed by the Parma ham/ stracchino with fried sourdough balls…the ribollita was really good too. Maybe the tonnato could have been less salty. I would love to come back again
