Excellent wine list. Food is great quality. The starters are a little on the dear side however - 16 pounds for a serving of burrata with our drinks. I think next time we will come in for a meal rather than drinks and nibbles.
Their mantra, 'piccolo e bello' translates to small is beautiful. The place is tiny, but the wine list is extensive and the menu is decent. The antipasto board was a pleasant sharer and had some of the freshest meats I've seen in charcuterie boards. Went for the homemade pasta with crab and was pleasantly surprised to see a smear of crab fat (a delicacy which needs to be exposed more). The rib-eye was cooked nicely albeit seemingly smaller than the promised 10oz. Came with some of the nicest chips I've had in a while (crispy outside, fluffy inside). Didn't care much for the chocolate brownie dessert as it lacked flavour.
Overall, a decent little place to tuck into when you fancied a bit of wine and nibbles with friends. Gets overpacked easily though so go early.
Amazing food and vibes. I had dinner with a friend and the food was amazing. Highlights were the sea bass ceviche and the aubergine tortelli. My friend had the rump of lamb with asparagus that was so tender and juicy. Special mention to the wine list with high quality wines. Highly recommended
we shared a cheese board, followed by tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale and ravioli di zucca. food was fantastic, and service impeccable. it was a quiet Friday night when we visited, plenty of tables available, and yet we were seated at a small table in the middle by the staircase, which we found a bit bizarre. still, a very pleasant night out
The food is delightful. While the waiting staff are super friendly, the service was too fast/rushed e.g. main plate cleared and dessert menu put down within a minute and asked three time in less than five minutes what we would like. Sounds picky but it's rich food and when spending a lot you don't want to feel like you are being turfed out for the next people arriving.
Really nice food and ambience. The waiter and waitress were very nice too.
I visited this restaurant with friends over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Excellent service, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the local delicacies on the menu. I'll definitely return to try more!
Excellent dinner experience. Wonderful ravioli, insalata, and tiramisu. Service was excellent. One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Don’t miss this one!
Emanuele has been fantastic!!!
Great attention to details and went the extra mails to suggest us the right wine and food! Lovely place to go to with friends as well as for a date! Super nice Italian atmosphere… tasty food
Grateful to my well known, extremely poor sense of directions for not taking me where I was headed and making me discover this gem. It was hard to decide between truffles and porcini for my tagliatelle, but I am glad I took Federica’s advice. The homemade pasta is thick and tastes like mom’s. This place did more than feeding me tonight; it took me on a time machine back to a kitchen where all the house chairs are covered in linen towels hosting the freshly made tagliatelle like tasty laundry. Ready for your Italian journey? (Great wine selection too)
Wow, superb food, lovely atmosphere and brilliant staff. Definitely worth a visit if you like tasty food.
Okay you need to prefer amazing food in slightly smaller portions to big portions of blah (which many Italian restaurants serve).
Fun staff. Clean toilets. Good wine.
So what I can say - 5 stars for everything and everyone! Food is great, wine is exceptional and service is outstanding! The lady manager took care of our table as well as a lovely girl with a long braided hair and we left satisfied and full. Can definitely recommend to visit this place for a glass/bottle of a great wine and a tasty dinner after a long busy day.
This was such a wonderful special night ! Emanuel is by far the best waiter in whole of London. His energy is magical, he is funny smart and know the menu inside out
His recommendations made our evening spectacular
We will definitely be back again xxx
Small wine bar near st pauls. Lovely atmosphere for a catch-up with friends or colleagues. Only slight issue was the background music was a little too loud so it was a bit hard to hear each other though nothing major.
Ordered 2 of the specials, the beeg cheek and the ... bird (forgot the name). Both were really nice! the bird dish came with a polenta mash which was really nice, a lot nicer than expected.
The beef cheek was a bit drier than I liked so it's not a dish I'd order again but if you enjoy your meat lean, then this would be nice as its very tender and you can really taste the beef in it.
Ordered a cranberry juice and the amount I received was really less.. for the price you pay, you'd normally expect at least 250ml but I think I only got around 100-150ml and half of it was ice.
Served by a lovely Italian gent Emanuele and he treated us like royalty! Top notch wine recommendation and incredible hospitality. If you're in st. Paul's - don't walk past it.
We were passing by and popped in for lunch. Sat in the window and watched the busy street outside which is great for people watching. Had a descent Italian lunch. Staff were friendly. Interiors lovely. It felt romantic!
We had really good service at Enoteca da Luca At Paul's which also surprised us with really tasty food. Some tables could be very tiny so make sure you get seated in a bigger one since dishes come with big plates. Portions are it's right measure for what you pay. Great selection of wine and also beers available, although only couple brands. Worth it if you want something more upscale than pub food or a date, but don't want a fancy restaurant.
Great atmosphere. Wonderful service. The wine list is compact yet complete. The venison ragu was delicious.
Great little Italian restaurant. Adequately priced for great quality and nice service. We have had their amazing couvert comprised of different types of bread and foccacia with extra virgin olive oil which were nothing short of delicious. For main we had the house special pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese and it was delicious. Couldn't bother to move after the meal! Only sad thing is the absence of a Tiramisu on the dessert menu. Keep it up!
