amazing people and very fresh, well prepared food for affordable prices. A place which you want to go back to :) Definitely deserved 5 star !
A great little spot. Really popular at lunch time, this cafe does really tasty, fresh pasta and sandwiches. The staff are quality, really friendly and efficient
Was thinking of heading there again next year while I am there for the London Marathon. But after looking up this on google again, I noticed that it is temporarily closed.
Was there in 2019 and it was probably the best breakfast place I have been in the neighbourhood. The food is awesome, and portions are extremely generous. Love their sandwiches and pasta dishes.
I hope they will open soon before next year.
Great place to come for lunch (if you manage to beat the rush and get a seat)
Generous portions and delicious selection of pastas and salads. Very good value and the team are so friendly and inviting. Highly recommended!
Absolutely loved the lasagne, to die for, so authentic, taste bud tantalising and more than enough for a porker like me. Extremely friendly service with an Italian smile, chef and service staff have nailed it. Will be back for sure. 👍👍👍
Super friendly and happy staff, and a great selection of sandwiches and pastas. For the portions you get, very reasonably priced as well. Very welcoming atmosphere, and the food will keep you coming back for sure.
Amazing and delicious food! Great atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Amazing variety an selection of authentic Italian dishes especially pasta.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Farringdon and in need of good grub!
Awesome place, lovely staff, quick service and delicious food. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are great. Have been a regular customer from the first time I went in - cannot recommend highly enough.
Broad and effortable variety of food. They mostly have pasta, but also other food like oven potatoes. Vegetarian options available. It gets quite busy at lunch, but they are serving quickly despite.
Bring a good appetite, the portions are huge!
If you are in need of a huge dose of carbohydrates, this is the place to go. £6.50 for a portion of pasta, with a side of pasta. I felt like a python who has eaten a small deer and didn't have to eat again for a few months afterwards. Service can get a bit slow when busy though.
Great friendly café. Excellent coffee and tasty food.
Excellent, if enormous plates of pasta welcome you. We'll worth sitting in to dine in this traditional, no frills, Clerkenwell cafe. A great lunch retreat.
Loved this little gem of a place! Amazing food, cooked properly (Al Dente) and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. So much food for the money too!
Authentic Italian family feel, gastronomy with a heart, positive vibe, practically no hype, simple full of flavours, very hearty portions, a tuna sandwich is big enough for three people, or one who is very hungry, tomato soup is top notch, as a quick bite stop over spit you will struggle to find something better in Clerkenwell. Looks like a every day sandwich shop from the outside. Make no mistake here, it is not. Belissimo!!! Thank you!!! 5 stars throuout.
Without Pepe and his staff, I would never have survived the last few days!! They fed me, they listen to me and they talked to me. Nothing was too much bother. The food is italian and delicious as homemade food can be. I will go there again and again once I am in London. It felt like I made friends for life! Thank you soooo much xxxx
What a gem of a spot! Visiting from Australia and I will absolutely put this place towards the top of my list of best London spots. As much as I know I should branch out to try new places, I keep going back to this charming hole in the wall spot!
My everyday go-to place for lunch when I was working in Clerkenwell. Simple and honest food. Very busy and crammed at times but it adds to the atmosphere. It is affordable, I simply love that place. Thank you Peppe!
They made me an excellent breakfast and copious amounts of tea for a very reasonable price considering where it was. Would definitely go back if I was in the area again.
Great breakfast. They looked after me well brining regular cups of tea
