What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the friendly, attentive staff and the authentic Italian flavors. The pasta dishes and tiramisu get frequent shout-outs, and many guests praise the bar’s charming atmosphere and central location. Several mention it as a “hidden gem” in a historic part of London, perfect for a casual yet refined bite before heading out.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight during peak hours. Booking ahead is wise, especially on show nights. A few guests mentioned the menu leans more classic than creative—great if you love the Italian staples, but not ideal if you're chasing foodie surprises.
