Randomly dropped in cycling back to work after hot yoga at fierce grace. Very happy with the quality of the cooking and attention to detail. Had the rapido menu and at 1230 on Saturday the place was deserted so no problem with service.

If there’s one thing you order, make sure it’s the roasted potatoes. Lightly smashed, crispy, with delicious herbs, you won’t be disappointed. I was here for restaurant week and they had an amazing vegan option of roasted squash with lentils and chard which was so delicious. The artichoke started was also lovely. Decor and ambiance is really nice and as the restaurant is quite big you don’t feel cramped or rushed. Would def go back!

Went here on a Saturday when they had Unlimited Pasta for £25. The portions were just normal dinner size so if you do this as well don't underestimate it haha. The food was great though and the staff super friendly. We only managed to eat 3 portions each.

After experiencing Roman cuisine first hand in Rome last year I was very excited to find this little gem. I stumbled across Palatino after working at a coffee shop nearby. The staff were warm and welcoming but the hero of my night was Pedro, behind the bar. He was attentive, genuine and knowledgeable. His recommendations were brilliant! I was offered the warm courgette bread and water while I perused the menu. I had the nettle and ricotta pasta as well as the rigatoni veal pajata (which is milking calf intestine), both were amazing! The menu is extensive but the more adventurous a diner you are the better your experience will be. Food was mid range in terms of price and the wines can get quite pricey at £15 for a glass but you can get cheaper ones. All the wine is from Italy. This is now my favourite restaurant in London and I'll be jumping at the opportunity to go back.

Had diner there it was fantastic. The food was very good and not that expensive for the quality and portion size. Tried the mozza and peach starter which was so good, then the pepper and cheese pasta and tiramisu for desert, paired with a very nice red wine. Food was definitely above most italian places in london. Service was good as well, and the place feel very comfy, relaxed atmosphere.

Gorgeous homemade pasta, perfectly cooked onglet and saltimbocca, dreamy polenta, original cocktails, an interesting and varied wine list and the stracciatella on toast, wow. It's a big open space with communal benches and booths, so great for groups as well as more 1 to 1 occasions. Good for meetings, a quick drink - total all-rounder. Service is great, despite it being a boxfresh opening when I went. Will DEFINITELY be back, Stevie Parle is fast becoming one of my faves.

Can't recommend enough! Amazing food, a shame I took no pictures of the main dishes because they looked amazing and were so tasty! From starters, through primo and secondi, to dessert and coffee everything was just soooo good, the best Italian food I had. And you go through your meal with different smells of other amazing dishes being prepared, a mix of smells that even when you're already full keeps your mouth watering. The place is so nice and the staff very friendly and always attentive and efficient. Tiramissu was the best I ever tried and chocolate with honeycomb is a must try!

Italian food done right. Classic yet contemporary, the food is elaborated and traditional at the same time. Soothing atmosphere and knowledgeable staff... what’s more to desire?

Just absolutely gorgeous, highly recommended for beautiful food, pops out of nowhere in terms of location but what a gem, beautiful inside and the food is just lovely

Although I'm not a fan of the space itself (seemed too large and roomy), the food that this trendy Italian restaurant serves up is delicious. Try all the pasta, get as many of the sides and appetisers as you can and make sure to sample the pretty decent wine list. Their version of the dish-of-the-moment, cacio e Pepe, sang with the wonderfully rich taste of pecorino and pepper. The tortellini with duck was similarly excellent. Well worth a visit.

Would love to go back for the pasta and desserts. We sat on bar as had not booked but that worked great. Lovely wine list too.

This place is fantastic. Happened to stop by on our first day in Bordeaux, excellent service and food. We would have ordered more if we could (though did have the dessert .. !) Our waiter was Enrico looked after us brilliantly. Defo recommend this restaurant!

Have visited a few times now, for dinner and once for lunch. It is a place you have to be going to, rather than one you stumble across, not that much surrounding it, but there is a bar inside too. Very open/industrial space but doesn't feel too cold. The small plates are very good (the sage leaves with honey vinegar and octopus in particular) and seem to be updated regularly to stay seasonal. The wine list is good and affordable. I have enjoyed the pasta dishes I've tried and my partner has had some good secondi. The service was very friendly and welcoming the first time we came, but seems to have tapered off since. The last time we seemed to be forgotten about a few times but it hasn't affected my rating much as we were in no hurry. We will probably go back, especially with the value of the set menu, but perhaps not in a hurry.

The food here is really nice, although the cold meat antipasto was a bit tough and the seats could be more comfortable. Service was fantastic, I'd heartily recommend the chicken and pistachio meatballs with green polenta. Prices not too bad either, about £36 per person of you order wine.
