   Some fussy friends who eat out a lot had recommended this as a favourite option, and I could quite see why. Delicious, authentic Italian food (an excellent frittura mista followed by home-made pasta with a beautifully flavoured sauce) and a half-litre of good Sicilian wine for what, by the standards of the Bermonssey Street neighbourhood, are very reasonable prices. It was full of people enjoying themselves and chatting happily, and no wonder. The only problem may be how to get in, as it is small (but they do manage to use the space to maximum effect). I feel stupid for not having been before - we live round the corner and have quite often visited the deli that runs in the daytime -- but will certainly be back!

    Absolutely one of the best, freshest Italian meals I’ve eaten. Having visited Italy many times this food was equally as good if not better than many. Greeted by the owner who was very nice and just loved explaining all the wonderful dishes on offer. The menu changes with the season making each dish as fresh as possible. There was about 6 tables at the back of a Fine foods deli. Basic set out but we loved every minute. We had a reasonable bottle of Gavi which was very nice . Service efficient and friendly. Food unbelievably good. We had 3 courses and didn’t leave feeling bloated just pleasantly full! Every dish was so good. Defiantly going back and highly recommended.
