Delis • Pasta • Casual • Italian
"‘Italian tapas’ is a recent invention of London’s restaurants and a prerogative of Venice only in Italy. Here it is done with inventiveness and good ingredients. How can stuffed mushrooms be amazing? But they were and so was the duck spread and the tagliatelle spinach and almonds. One criticism to the menu was the lack of meat/fish dishes (only 2 amongst 20sh). Service was attentive. The place is cosy as all Brixton village restaurants are but the owner should sort out the extractor fan because by the end of the dinner our eyes were read from the fumes coming from the kitchen and the clothes totally smelly. Excellent value for money though."

"The bar itself was buzzing at 7pm on a Thursday night but had a really friendly atmosphere. Everyone was just enjoying themselves and laughing which was nice to see. It's dimly lit in there but has enough light to see what you are doing/drinking/eating. Infact, it was cosy and I didn't want to leave. We was greeted by a lovely friendly waitress and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a table had been reserved with my name on. Special treatment or what! We was then handed the cocktail menu and was told it was Happy Hour which meant 2 for 1 drinks! The cocktail menu is designed to fit in around the literature of Shakespeare which I think is just lovely and very different compared to the bog standard cocktail names. ..."
