![4]( "Recensione")
I want to give this restaurant a five star review and I think it almost deserves it.
There were two things that annoyed me:
I had arranged to meet a friend with a quiet voice and the music was too loud and in poor taste. Also, the decor didn't reflect the quality of the food and the location; just off Regent's Street. The place needs a little more class - which it deserves.
Clearly, the chef is extraordinarily good. I had a simple carrot soup, and it was wonderful, delicately flavoured and feeding all at the same time. The bread was savoury and soft, with a nice salty crust.
The pasta dish had a lovely texture. It was home-made pasta with artichokes and truffle oil.
I did get the feeling, however, that all that Parmesan the waiter dispensed was partly there to disguise the fact that the artichokes came from a jar and if there was a flavour of truffle, it was almost invisible.
The service was excellent and unobtrusive and pleasant.
The colours of the restaurant are beautiful. The cook is obviously highly skilled. The waiters were excellent.
I think the problem with this restaurant is probably the management; a management that might be pushing the chef to cut a few corners - and cavalier marketing reflected in the poor furnishing.
I had dinner here with my friend on Sunday. When we entered we were informed that they don’t have pizza anymore which was a disappointment but we decided to have pasta instead.
We ordered spaghetti and pasta. In drink they had wines, cocktails as well as mocktails. The food tasted good but the quantity of the pasta should have been a bit more. The mocktail was also nice but given that it’s a nonalcoholic drink I think it shouldn’t have been that expensive. The environment inside the restaurant was good, they even changed our table on our request.
Overall it was a good experience but it is on the expensive side.
We didn’t have to book, they had many tables when we walked in around 7pm
Authentic italian food that was served hot. The waiter asked us if we had any dietary restrictions and was great with his food recommendations and was smiling and welcoming, especially with our 4 year old boy. Advice: Order a starter bread basket as food may take some time to be prepared freshly.
