"We arrived on time for our booking and were met by some friendly efficient staff who took our coats and offered us a choice if tables.It was my wife's birthday and we enjoyed a couple of excellently made cocktails.Food and service was excellent throughout with a number if checks made to ensure our satisfaction.The restaurant was more or less fully booked and there was a good atmosphere.Tables did seen to be fairly close to each other but with London overheads and wages I suspect it has to be this way.Portion size was fair, not overly large and my wife had beef fillet, I stole a bit if it and the flavour was super.My duck breast main was equally as tasty.I enjoyed a selection of Italian cheeses and whilst my wife did not choose a dessert she was later presented with a dessert and a birthday greeting (see picture).Overall an excellent evening and a happy wife , what more could you ask for?"

This is the same restaurant as Banca on North Audley, off Oxford St. The food is not bad, although nothing to rave about either. Modern and pleasant décor.

Visited this restaurant on Sunday evening with my fiance's family who are from Naples and are used to great Italian food. The staff was so friendly and the food was the best Italian I have ever had in London. We will definitely be making this our home away from home!

This was out second time there and both visits have been equally as good! The food is beautiful! Really really good which is how they can justify the high prices. The sommelier is excellent! He was extremely helpful and friendly. Looking forward to my next time there. View menu

The food was great, and it was nice to find an Italian which does not feel the need to put pizza on the menu.The staff where friendly and provided a good service.The restaurant had a good selection of cheese and meat on display.I think it has only recently opened, but I would be surprised if it gets a star a some point.

We went here for dinner with our friends. We had heard mixed reports but went with an open mind. The service was diabolical and we will definitely not go back. The food was actually ok. We were so rushed by the waitress it felt like a cafe. The accoustics are dreadful. This restaurant probably will not last. The girl on reception was so unprofessional and really didnt care about the guests.

We had dinner at Banca restaurant last march 30th and it was really fantastic. The restaurant is really excellent. the restaurant is manned with italian staff and they are really very very good. Staff is extremely polite and attentive and they strieve to anticipate your requests. The food is well presented and when you say fresh fish it really means FRESH... The wine list is wide and offers a wide selection of the most famous italian wines. Overall a fantastic experience View menu

I HAVE NEVER write on this website but i really have to share what happened in this restaurant with you all.The service and the food is very good but THEY CHARGED ON THE BILL higher prices: SWITCHING PRICES WITH SIMILAR NUMBERS(LIKE 98 instead of what stated in the menu that was 86) really an horrible way of dealing with consumers.WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE SMARTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE and you try to take advantage from them YOU NEED TO PAY.DON'T GO THERE. i really don't have any gain in telling you a lie so don't go there: there are a lot of better italian restaurants in london.

This is a smart and stylish restaurant, with a really buzzy atmosphere. There were 6 of us on a Saturday night and the place was heaving with friends, families and couples.I love Italian food and was pleased with the choices of fantastic salamis and hams as a starter which a few of us shared, also had an amazing linguine with lobster that was delicious followed by a grilled veal chop with buttery green vegetables. My friends enjoyed grilled halibut and sea bass which was equally yummy.The portions are large and at £10-£20 for a starter and £25-£45 for a main course (without vegetables), they should be. Although we had a great evening, for the two of us, two courses with wine and coffee, our...

"The decor of the restaurant is really lovely. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. We placed our orders quite briskly. We received complimentary bread and olives, which was a nice touch. Our Bruchetta starter arrived a whole hour after we arrived, which was disappointing and far too long to wait for a cold and easy starter. The menu did not specify that the prawns on one of the bruschettas were raw! The waiter said service was slow because they were busy with Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Clearly not prioritising paying customers, who pay a 12.5% service charge, unlike online customers. Eventually, our main courses arrived. My pasta was only just cooked, so close to being undercooked and hard. They ran out of ricotta and replaced it with the tiniest amount of cheese so I asked for some more. Since ricotta was supposed to be the main ingredient of the dish. The tuna steak was lovely, and the veal could have done with a thinner breadcrumb batter. The sides, chips and zucchini, were £4.50 and very small portions for such a cheap side. So that was slightly disappointing. Overall, the pinot grigio white wine was very drinkable, and they brought tap water when we asked for it. And the whole staff were very polite. It was a shame the service was so slow, and the food could have been better for the price that it was. We also felt it was overpriced for the location it was, zone 2 London and not in the West End."
