I chose this restaurant based on the extensive rave reviews describing it as one of the best Italian restaurants in London. However, after dining here, I can’t help but wonder what all the praise is about. While the pasta was cooked al dente, the overall dish lacked flavor. When you find yourself needing two rounds of cheese to salvage the taste, it speaks volumes about the dish’s quality. To be called one of the best in London feels like an overstatement and a poor accreditation, in my opinion."

I don’t usually feel compelled to write a review when something is bad, but I want to save diners from this experience. We were in a rush to find a place quickly and made the mistake of booking here. The restaurant was very dirty. The menus were covered in oil, and the bathrooms were filthy. The food was terrible. Even the water had a strange taste. The staff wasn’t rude, but they weren’t exactly friendly either. My pasta had uncooked noodles and was drenched in an overly thick sauce with questionable ingredients—I’m not even sure what was in it. Please do not go here.
