"We were looking for an Italian restaurant during our visit and saw the review for the place and we had a very nice dinner. We were seated without a reservation which was surprising and the maitre d was very welcoming. For starters we had the Aracini and Panzanella salad. The Aracini were filled with bolognese and had a spicy tomatoes sauce. They were perfectly fried and full of flavor. Not a lot of spice but enough to cut through the fry. The salad was an excellent version of the dish, with capers and peppers in addition to the standard bread, mozarella, and tomato. It had an excellent balasamic and oils dressing. Our only suggestion was using a more flavorful tomatoe like a campari versus the beef steak. The mains were chicken wrapped in ham and squid ink risotto with calamari. Both dishes were excellent. The chicken was moist and the ham added a depth of flavor. The squid ink risotto was a perfect risotto which is even harder with squid ink so we were very impressed. The squid was soft and perfectly prepared as well. The flavors were complex and a blend between the sea and a slight level of spice/heat. Very delicious. In general the wait staff was good with our main waiter Manuel was very attentive and helpful. But one of the assistants was rude with us many of the tables. And some of the others were not as friendly, which was off putting at first but once Manuel took over things improved. Overall, it was a great meal and we definitely recommend it. Usually plan on reservations but you can try with out them and you may get lucky as well."

"spectacular eating with a warm welcome. alex, our waiter, was excited to find the dishes that we 'd most happy work with a no gay group diet that cut away a good piece of the menu. Finally, he decided to create a few tailor-made plates that he hoped to wake us and they woke us! we first enjoyed a red pizza with parmesan, rocket and fresh tomatoes. the tomatoes were perfectly ripe, high quality, provide an intense burst of taste, accompanies the nutty rocket to cut through a generous part of the creamy, salty cheese. the cheese overwhelmed but not or weighed off the dish, perfectly matched the acidic, slightly peppery tomato sauce. gattusos cruste is one of the best I have experienced 'through crispy and thin on the bottom without trembling or sagging, and a delicious salty outer rim that was ultra light and crisp. our second court was an aubergine and tomaten penne. I have to confess that I usually don't go for red sose pastas, as I find the sour tomato a bit too a note. however, this pasta changed my mind; delicate aubergine paired perfectly with al dente penne, and both were made in a tasteful, earthy tomato sauce creamy by exactly the right spray of oil and milk. it was simple, bright and full of this house handmade love they feel rare when they eat. we only paid 24 pounds for a lunch with two people, concerning me. it is the type of place where they only know they are remembered and welcomed back as family. I would come back every day to contemplate, lovingly made Italian meals."
