"Like most memorable experiences, I discovered this restaurant quite by chance. I was in the area on business and wanted a covenient spot for an early dinner before heading home. This was just around the corner from the intriguingly named Frying Pan Alley in Spitalfields. I must have been the first guest that evening as the place was still very quiet. I was welcomed and seated warmly and enthusiastically enough, although I was disappointed to be shown to a table in an enclosed room at the back, as it felt very cut off from the main dining area. This room would be ideal for a party of 10 as a more private dining area, for example. Another item of note is that there was a somewhat musty, damp smell in the atmosphere. It was not overpowering, but very noticeable on arrival. It was not so prominent later, as the restaurant filled up, and it did get very busy during the course of my visit, but it is interesting that this smell has been mentioned by other reviewers here, so it clearly isn't just me, and indicates that it may be an ongoing issue. Other than that the decor is interesting, and the bookshelves and impressionist paintings certainly create a rather distinctive theme. Now to the food. I tend to gravitate towards dishes that are unusual, original or unique, so for the starter I opted for the gamberi fra' diavolo (stew of prawns in spicy tomato sauce and lobster bisque). This was not something I've come across before, so it was a real revelation. The sauce was excellent, rich and spicy, but not overpowering (see pictures). However, the food was barely lukewarm when it arrived, which tempered my enjoyment somewhat. Disappointingly, the main course was also slightly cold, at any rate not piping hot. I ordered the linguine cacio e pepe (pasta in creamy sauce of pecorino Romano with black pepper and truffle paste). It was delicious. Cooked to perfection and beautifully presented (see pictures). For dessert it had to be the tiramisu. As something of a connoisseur on tiramisu as my numerous reviews on this platform will no doubt testify I particularly relish ordering this in an Italian restaurant. This individual portion was served in a curved glass. It was the quintessential tiramisu exactly how tiramisu should be light, creamy, not overpowered by the coffee or the wine, and the biscuits soft and not soggy. Probably one of the best I've had. Excellent! With the bill coming in at just over £60, with drinks and the now almost ubiquitous 12.5% service charge added, that is not too bad for a City of London venue. I want to thank the gentleman who was supervising the floor on the day, who stopped to discuss the tiramisu with me, and I'm sorry I do not recall his name. But I do hope to visit again soon to check out the rest of the menu. Thumbs up. Highly recommended."

I went there with other 10 friends for a birthday dinner. The place itself is really nice, situated on a quiet street.

Had a lovely evening with a friend, first time we’d been here. Nice layout, good atmosphere and friendly, attentive waiters, weren’t rushed. Food was delicious shared some rosemary focaccia for starter and delicious chocolate tarte for dessert. Both had a pasta dish for main, and really happy good portion size, delicious food. A good find!

We recently spent a wonderful evening at this lovely restaurant and couldn't recommend it enough. The ambiance was relaxed and warm, with the service attentive throughout. Every course was a delight: from the pear with walnut starter, through the crab main, to the tiramisu desert, it was just exceptional cuisine. If you want a New Year's resolution to enjoy, promise yourself a visit to La Tagliata.

We had a lovely meal last night. We’d been a couple of times before. We were given the dessert menu and then were asked if we wanted to order. We asked for 10 minutes- waiter said we needed to order right away as the kitchen was closing! This was at 9pm on a Saturday night! The other waiter and waitress were fine. Also this guy came over with the card machine. After paying he immediately got our coats and plonked them on the nearby table. Really keen for us to leave!! Not much Christmas spirit from him!

Held our Xmas night out in this establishment last week. Have to say on arrival the place was very quiet despite all the other restaurants nearby being full ?? Always a bit worrying !! I arrived early and the welcome was not the most friendly . There was also a slight smell of what could only be described as foul drains !! Rest of my party arrived and after a few drinks the smell seemed to settle or we forgot about it . We ordered our meals and I have to say the food was really rather good . The negronis were excellent too . On the whole lovely food , great negronis the service and friendliness could look ok to improve . Also do look to accept blue light card as you would find many more publ...

What a great choice for lunch! Good food in a pleasant ambience combined with very friendly service. Our meal started with a generous helping of focaccia and crisp bead with olives and oil/balsamic. Mains were all delicious and generous in portion size. I enjoyed the tagliatelle with prawns and mussels in a lobster bisque sauce, my daughter raved over her tagliata of tuna with a fresh acidic salad and my wife's grilled chicken with mozzarella was equally good. We had to go for desserts and the tiramisu and affogato made for light and pleasant endings to the meal. Service was friendly and we enjoyed a long chat with Francesco the owner at the end. He very kindly humoured me with my rusty Ital...
