We go there regularly and the floor staff know us and really look after us. They have done since 1st going there, and is why we keep going back. The food a wine are amazing too. We feel lucky to have it on our doorstep. We know people travel from other parts of south London to dine there.

Fantastic team, amazing food, great recommendations from our waiter. Unfortunately the music in the restaurant meant that tables had to speak loudly to be heard, we were sat very close to a loud table and it was hard for my dad to enjoy the meal as a hearing aid wearer. Loud background noise is extremely distracting and can be painful. Also the door needs mending so it shuts all the way by itself, the team does a great job of closing it, when they can, but due to constant use for takeaways etc. it was open more than it was closed!

Our table was A bit draughty as it was too close to the door which didn’t close properly so one of us had to wear her coat! Waitress didn’t understand us asking for main course size portions of starter items; no fruit juices available, no soda water available , so not a good start to our booking. But it got better as the food was good, and a different waiter was much friendlier. So it ended well. He saved the day.

The sea food risotto was slightly disappointing. Calamari was tough and the rice slightly undercooked. The aubergine parmagani was very nice.

Great and authentic Italian food. Cacio e pepe pasta was amazing as was the Margherita Pizza, nice and thin dough and nice charred crust. Second visit now within 2 weeks and can’t fault it. Good and attentive service. Your little Italian neighbourhood restaurant.

2nd visit in a few weeks - hugely impressed. We were extremely well looked after and had a totally enjoyable evening. I have given a very high rating for the food. It is not fine dining, rather it is authentic Italian cucina-style - and does what it does exceptionally well. Good, fresh, simple ingredients cooked with love and style.
