Princess Di used to frequent this restaurant with her 2 young sons.
We enjoyed our meal. I got the impression that these are professionals running the place.
I would definitely return to test it again. 👍🏻
200% recommended!
Talking about bringing you to Italian with food, they are professional!
The squid ink spaghetti just slap the sea smell right on your face, not to mention the giant 300g king prawn. Ending with the mean with the homemade Tiramisu is without doubt the best choice.
Next time in London, I will for sure visit again! Side tip, remember to get a reservation ;)
What an AMAZING experience tonight! Fabiana made us feel like we were home!! She was so cheerful and lovely. Best “hidden menu” carbonara we’ve ever had. It was my birthday and they played “happy birthday” over the speakers and the whole restaurant sang and clapped for me! We’re already planning out next meal there ❤️
Food is great!
The services is good but the basement dinning environment is a bit too nosey from my point of view.
The pasta spaghetti and tiramisu are amazing as usual.
Highly recommend maybe outdoor dinning than indoor. If you have to have it indoor maybe better to have it at the ground floor rather than basement. Food wise just order what ever you want would be good. Price is also very reasonable. 4 people around ÂŁ120.
Worth to dine in. Highly recommend place
This was a really lovely and authentic Italian restaurant. They do get busy so it’s best to come during off peak times to avoid having to wait long, as they don’t take reservations.
The food was absolutely scrumptious, our waitress was also very lovely and helped make our experience more enjoyable.
Will definitely be going back to try more things on the menu.
The food was amazing , but the service was even BETTER!
Zaira made our night amazing and her service was the best thing tonight , she was genuine , friendly and attentive!!!
We will definitely come back again and again.
Highly recommend! Telephone number not working so email to reserve! We had limoncello, tiramisu and Rigatoni da mario.
I enjoyed the main more than dessert as the flavours were strong and complementary.
Staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean with Mario's (founder) and Princess Diana pictures framed on the wall. The photography added to the ambience if that is of interest!
Prices are reasonable for the location
I highly recommend đź’Ž
What do you do when you’re starving with your best friend traveling London? You start googling restaurants. We found this restaurant in desperation looking for good quality tasting food. The reviews were wonderful so off to the tube we went. The wait was short because it was a Sunday. However book ahead because this place always has a line according to the staff. We got two appetizers, two entrees, and even desert. FABIANA was our waitress and she was absolutely incredible. If you want authentic quality food with amazing staff this is your place. FABIANA will take care of you.
This is an excellent authentic Italian restaurant. Highly recommended - the food is really delicious. Every dish from starter to dessert is beautifully made and taste great đź‘Ť.
Our first time here and we loved it, both pizzas we had were great, the tomato sauce on them was tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I am a big fan of Princess Diana so thought I must give this place a go. I know there's usually a queue at peak hours so I went after a bbc prom at almost 10 pm. I was offered a table straight away.
I can tell this is a restaurant that is earnest to serve decent food, but it unfortunately falls short of Italian standard in terms of flavor.
I ordered the classic seafood spaghetti.
Upsides:
1. the spaghetti is thinner than most restaurants and I like thin noodles.
2. There are lots and lots of seafood, especially given the relatively modest price of ÂŁ18.5
Drawbacks:
1. There were sands in the mussels, multiple of them
2. The king prawns were a bit overcooked and therefore dry
3. Most importantly, you'd expect the spaghetti to absorb all the flavors of the seafoods and tomato sauce and therefore full of umami. However somehow the spaghetti felt oily but doesn't have a lot of seafood taste. Maybe they were cooked separately and mixed together too late?
The atmosphere feels nice and homey with many celebrities pictures on the wall. Price was also very reasonable. It's a shame that the spaghetti wasn't as good as I expected, otherwise it'd have been a perfect restaurant to go to after every prom!
Stopped in with a large group while visiting London. Food was excellent and the service was good. Especially considering the size of our group. Will go back if I visit again! Pizza was legit
An excellent choice for those craving authentic Italian food. One of princess Diana favorite restaurants. A good range of options to choose from. Pizzas and pastas available.
An authentic Italian restaurant serving tasty classics in a lively, atmospheric dining room. Nicely busy on a Tuesday evening. Great option before events at the Royal Albert Hall.
I had the seafood pizza. Generous serving of seafood on top of a thin-base which was well cooked. A touch on the smaller side but that was the only minor negative. Tried my friend’s pasta (Da Mario special) which was also good. House red wine excellent and value for money at £21.
They have several tables outside on a partly-pedestrianised part of the street.
Overall food and service were fantastic, and the seafood risotto was a definite highlight, pleasing our entire table.
The desserts didn't quite live up to our expectations. The tiramisu and in-house ice cream were just alright and didn't leave a lasting impression. We wished we had ordered another main instead, the overall experience was enjoyable.
So, so good! The food was excellent, service was efficient and the whole place has a good, tradicional vibe. We particularly loved the Da Mario pasta. Prices are very reasonable for London, and the value for money is excellent. We will probably be back.
We shared 2 starters and had some wine and 3 mains . Also we shared their Tiramisu.m
MAIN
Squid ink pasta was beautifully made, fresh and jumbo prawn came with it.
Seafood pasta tasted good and had so much seafood we were confused ( in a good way)
Pizza was decent 👍🏼
TO SHARE DESSERT (you may choose not to)
Tiramisu - amazing light fluffy alcoholic and coffee smell ... I think I've died and went to tiramisu heaven. Presentation don't look great but it took us less than 1 minute to devour all of that tiramisu 9.5/10
The food was quite nice with a pleasant atmosphere. Our waiter was also very friendly and the food came quickly.
However personally I think there are better Italian restaurants in London!
Very delicious Italian cuisine and value for money. Dessert 🍨 is great too, in particular the today special, lemon tart...yummmmmy!
