We visited this charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Chiswick for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Steak Tartare was absolutely lovely! I had tagliatelle and it was the most authentic pasta I've had in London! The highlight of the meal was the dessert; lime & pineapple carpaccio which was heavenly! The best thing about this place is that the whole restaurant is dog-friendly and it's just perfect for someone like me who loves to bring my fur baby anywhere! The service was amicable and unpretentious too! We'll surely be visiting again!

My oh my! This restaurant is THE BEST restaurant I’ve been to in this city. To the Italian readers out there reading this, I’ve always been told that I have “il palato sopraffino” so this post is based on this premise. That’s why I refused to go to any restaurant because I know how BAD the food is in this city, in this country! Every time my husband would tell me to go out, I would refuse because there’s no point in spending the money on food that I don’t like. One day, for our civil ceremony, I made such in depth research because I wanted to find THE PLACE. The place that would take me back to my country, Italy. To its flavours, to its architecture, to its cuisine, to its art, to its passion, to its camerieri, to its wine, pasta, to its FOOD! I’ve booked this restaurant and it did not fail my expectations. From the entrance a cameriere would attend you and guide you to the table. This restaurant has live cooking, so from our table we could see inside the kitchen, how I’ve missed this! We’ve ordered fabulous octopus carpaccio (God, that lemon zest on top of it it was from another planet!), delicious pasta con le vongole and amazing steak and supper di pesche e amaretti. At the end they surprised us with a small “congratulations” sweet, served on a personalised plate. At the exit from the restaurant, someone expected for us and asked for our feedback. She was so nice and sweet and the simple gesture of asking “how was it” made us feel so good! With our bellies full (at that time), and with having all fresh memories in my mind I can assure you that abbiamo mangiato da Dio and you will enjoy it as much as we did. p.s at the end, I could find some sand in my mouth, from the vongole, although they were cleaned, having no shell.
