Came here for coffee and an early holiday wine and had fabulous service. Such a beautiful environment and the courtyard is gorgeous. We didn’t eat here as we had lunch plans but it’s definitely worth coming here for a coffee/wine. Will be back to try the homemade pasta.

A wonderful Italian restaurant up in Shoreditch, a bit hidden in side streets. Printed menu, but also the day's specialties on a chalkboard I love that. Good Italian dishes and a decent wine list. Not too expensive either. We have been here before, and when we were in London in December we returned. That says part of what we like about the place.

We were disappointed with the staff members and the service. They served our wine (not cheap) in beer glasses, as they said the wine glasses were still being washed. The staff were undertrained: They didn't bring cutlery or clear away glasses or plates properly. The price was very steep. At this price point, service is everything, and I was embarrassed for having picked this venue. View menu

Service was slow to glacial, just getting drinks took 30 minutes. After starters finally arrived we had to ask them to clear them (after at least 30 to 45 minutes) in order to get the mains. Had to repeatedly ask for service. When mains arrived, the £22 premier linguine with fresh prawns, I got four (4) small prawns as did my friends. I don’t understand the rave reviews but compared to a real, Italian restaurant, it was a poor imitation. Won’t be returning.

Food was ok, but service was chaotic. They bought the main before the starters and the staff were nice but undertrained. We were reminded three times that our time was up and it was time to leave. My partner had to use the toilet and once again the manager told us we had to leave. At which point I reminded her we had spent £270 on a dinner for three and we were on our way. She was even more combative and made us feel like criminals rather than valued customers. Won’t be returning. Left feeling harassed and patronised.

Poor service, bland food. Sorry but the location warrents more. Was given menus, left for quite a time before a waitress came for our order. We ordered but as the sarters arrived noticed the table next to us had a whole specials board to choose from( would have definitely changed our choices) my wife had the friut de mer which was one prawn and the rest was just sqiud rings. Our plates sat dor a long time before the waiter cleared and asked is there anything else we wanted? Our reply was our mains please. When arrived completely under welming very bland. No one came to check on us and no one was seen to escalte the poor food. Only once someone came to clear did we have the opportunity to say... View menu

This place used to be good but it really seems to have fallen apart. The service was very poor. We had booked for 6 but bumped into someone en route so were 7. We were told off when we arrived and said it caused a lot of work to solve it just involved putting a chair at the end of the table we’d booked. We had to chase every time we wanted to order and when we got the bill nobody came to take payment. My friend wanted to take her leftovers with and chased 4 times to get them back. My main dish was actually tasty the mushroom ravioli but others felt the food was bland. The bruschetta starter is bland. They also took a £60 deposit off us. I asked when we left and they said they’d reimburse it...

The table booking was advertised for 1 hr 30 mins only. After 1 hour 15 mins we had no main course, and, it was clear that it was not coming soon. We had booked as a treat for my husband . It was his favorite restaurant and a treat from me for being so helpful after my car accident. As we sat and waited for our food we watched several people walk in off the street and get served. My husband watched a head ? waitress go out every 5-10 mins for a fag break . We asked for a more private table on entering , away from where all the waitresses were walking past . It was free on entering but we were told we could not have it , yet 1hr15mins later it was still free. After 1hr 15 mins we asked for th...

We went on the recommendation of friends who had been there for dinner three weeks earlier. Apparently, lunch is a different experience. The waiter took our order and had to come back twice to double check what we ordered. Appetisers to share were served with no plates, cutlery or serviettes. One of the wait staff was clearly being trained but not well. I felt badly for her. I ordered the buckwheat ravioli and asked it was possible to try a piece because I had never had buckwheat pasta. I expected they might say no which would have been fine. However, the reason I was told no was because the pasta is frozen and made to order. Very disappointing to hear it's frozen. Two of us had different ty... View menu
