Reviews
"We went for lunch on a Sunday and were the only clients, which meant we had the waiter's undivided attention - this was great. His service was excellent though, very friendly, smiley and used his French to explain the dishes to my mum. Great Italian food as well, highly recommend!"
"I was there yesterday sharing my impression, a good place and especially the desserts are amazing! and the service was top notch ( Alberto )"
"Hidden below street level, this restaurant is as one keen reviewer eloquently put it 'a tourist trap' for nearby visitors to the museums of South Kensington. In essence it hosts an expensive menu with average tasting food. I'm sure they're only surviving because of a guaranteed minimum level of customers who'll unwittingly stroll in without heeding the warnings of these reviews. In the restaurant's defence, the decor is homely and the service from staff is very attentive indeed - I was asked by two separate staff during my meal whether everything was okay which felt a bit parental but mostly non-threatening all the same. I'd gone for the margherita pizza which at £7 seemed like a bargain. You could easily get full on this, despite tasting rather bland. However, I was feeling somewhat adventurous and decided to add pickled artichokes (nope, not fresh) and mushrooms as toppings for £1.50 extra each. Thinking this wouldn't be enough, I included a side of spinach into the mix for £5: what I was served with was a small bowl of half boiled baby spinach leaves - really should've been another pizza topping as that's what it turned into. Overall, disappointingly average, and they'll include a service charge because they expect you to be one of many money-donning tourists sprinkling cash in the already hideously wealthy area. Try your appetite-resolving luck elsewhere."
"Not good I'm afraid. Seems to be a tourist trap as so close to museums. Food is bizarrely portioned (some mains were decently sized and some absolutely tiny). Starters looked really unappetising. Fish was served within a huge mass of tin foil which you were expected to eat out of. Not good for vegetarians. We were told that on an already very limited menu, none of the pizzas were available, with no explanation given. A 'selection' of gelato turned out to be three scoops of vanilla ice-cream. The staff were friendly. One good thing was that one of our group (who was vegetarian and wasn't in the mood for risotto) asked for a penne all'Arrabbiata which the chef was able to do. Overall, very average sadly."
"Went for brunch after a visit to the science museum. Had starters which were very nice, service from the staff was very courtious and food was all brought in time. The club sandwich was the best I have ever tasted and the lovely cheese cake desert. Overall the location and service were excellent, Will definitely revist when I return to London."
