Pulia

I went with my son and a guest for a quick lunch on Saturday, as an option to the crazy busy Borough Market we thought it was a good option. The restaurant decor is generally nice, a bit too many fake plants and flowers, but acceptable of they need to grow and invest in other things. Amongst the menus we were offered the lunch menu, 3 starters and 3 mains, it looked good and at a great value. My guest took a bruschetta and tomatoes followed by pizza margherita, my son took spaghetti tomatoes, I did tuna salad and pizza as well. The spaghetti was a thick spaghetti alla chitarra, fine. Not a great taste, the tomato sauce was a bit weird but ok. Bruschetta was looking good, a bit too much garlic but fine. Salad was awful, canned tuna over dead leaves. I did my best to move on the side the pieces of salad that were off (see picture) but I had to take the whole salad away and asked for a bruschetta instead. If you chef doesn't bother to wash the salad and check it, you have a massive issue there, I can't imagine what else he is giving away off or expired. Pizza was ok, it looked like a good frozen one, but at least I recon the flavour of the tomato sauce was similar to the pasta, so nothing crazy (missing some seasoning). The staff was smily no matter what, they recovered the lunch experience, that's why we paid the service charge, otherwise not worth it.

Great location, food was good, the restaurant itself was clean and decorated well. The service was awfully slow considering that only 2 or 3 tables were occupied. I can only imagine how hectic it would be on a busy day. For food, we had their signature dishes an appetizers (see photos). Although nothing to rave about.

Great Italian restaurant with delicious food and very generous portions. The drinks were excellent and paired perfectly with the meal. What really made the experience special was the amazing service from our servers, Svitlana, Vanessa, and Liseth. They were very attentive, gave great recommendations for food and drinks.That personal touch made the experience even better. Overall, fantastic food, great drinks, and outstanding service. Highly recommend!

Early Saturday evening at the end of the hottest week ever, not many customers (less than a quarter of all tables) but the only two front of house staff struggled when we wanted our bill cos they were tied up prepping drinks for a newly arrived party of four! Excellent food and very tasteful and comfortable surroundings but tell-tale signs of penny pinching (making losses??) w Tesco Value paper napkins and toilet doors not locking and bulbs not working. Not a single Italian employee (unless the chef 🤷‍♂️) so felt less authentic than the really good Pulian menu promises.
