We arrived for an early dinner and initially put off by the clinical feel of an empty restaurant, but that feeling instantly disappeared as the amuse-bouche started arriving on the table. The restaurant also quickly filled up as the evening progressed. The food was phenomenal. Mackerel and burrata starters a perfect way to start the meal, moving onto tuna carpaccio and trotter first course then the richest most divine parpadelle I have had for a while. The wine selection was excellent, with the most expensive only £70 per bottle, plenty of choice at the reasonable end. We were too full for dessert but the petit four with the bill were addictively good. Highly recommend.
Nice restaurant, tucked away from the high street. I had the Pappardelle with venison ragout, which was good even though the ragout was slightly bland for my taste, along with a Bolgheri suggested by the waitress which went nicely with the pasta.
Excellent Italian dishes at the new restaurant in Bonhams. Service is particularly friendly and professional. Special shout out to Cecilia (Merci beaucoup !)
I had bread (sourdough and potato focaccia), which was very tasty, crispy pig's trotters (amazing - like a really great spring roll), rabbit tagliatelle which was incredibly moreish and a bit on the sweeter side and almond cake. They were all very tasty, although I wish they had more dessert choices as almond cake was good but not as good as the other dishes. Really really good pasta, though!
Everything was delicious but particular highlights included the subtle and perfectly balanced celeriac risotto with pear and hazelnut, the bold yet refined white truffle tagliatelle, both mopped up by the expertly made bread that these culinary wizards whip up in-house daily. I was blown away and I’d go as far as saying this is now the best Italian restaurant in Mayfair. 10/10.
A must visit restaurant. Brilliant service very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Wine list while not the largest made up for it with a very interesting selection of fabulous wines from many regions. The amuse-bouche and bread selection was delicious. We had a selection of pasta entree and mains and were certainly not disappointed. Couldn’t fault this restaurant at all. Go while you still can get a booking!!
We came for en early dinner and have to say the whole meal was outstanding. Many good restaurants don't bother with decent bread, but the rosemary sourdough they made at Emilia stood up with the best breads I've had from specialized bakeries. Other highlights were the clam flavours in the white asparagus first course, the unusually rich and pungent tomatoes in the tortellini sauce, and the amazing fennel ice cream and strawberry granita deesert. The Kernel table beer was also a perfect light accompaniment, but overall, we couldn't really find any low points about this dinner.
At the start of the evening, as the downstairs toilet is shared with Bonham's auction house, there was a mess, but staff handled this quickly.
Definitely recommended for a special occasion. Our total was about £60 per person with drinks and dessert.
We hosted 15 clients at Bonahms and Emilia provided the wait staff and food. What they delivered was exceptional on all fronts, 3 courses of delicious perfection. I met the head chef a few days before and we finalised the menu choices, we had gluten free, vegan, dairy free and vegetarian guests and nothing was too much trouble. The gluten and dairy free desserts were AMAZING.
I had a wonderful meal here for my birthday. The food was great, the staff lovely. It worked well for a 2-person meal - intimate and pretty surroundings - but it seemed relaxed also for groups of 4 and 6 nearby.

Terrific food at newly opened regional italian from the same stable as Clipstone, Portland and The Quality Chop House. While the decor is a little sterile the warmth of the service and the refined, informal dishes are more than enough compensation. Highlights included the eel tortellini in a rich savoury broth, an almost licoricely sweet rabbit tagliatelli and an aioli so smooth I wanted to eat it with a spoon. A great dinner and looking forward to returning for a summer lunch in the courtyard.
On the pricey side but totally worth it for an amazing experience.
Really good food, sofisticated and understated ambience, super service, and menu lacking options but is all very curated, locally sourced and prepared very well. I would highly recommend it for a lunch or a romantic dinner.
One of my favourite Italian restaurant in London. I thoroughly enjoyed the refined Italian menu in a quiet and relaxed environnement which enables to have a proper conversation with your guests.
