Avoid this place! The service is rude and the staff is bordering on being unfriendly. Don’t make you feel welcome at all. The food is okay, nothing to rave about so my money will be spend better at one of the other restaurants around. They used to be better two years ago but when I returned I was really disappointed to face bad service and sit in a half empty restaurant, which says a lot during Christmas time…

Food: We stopped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon and both ordered the fusilli with meatballs which was delicious! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the meatballs had good flavor to them. Drinks: We ordered a bottle of sparkling water. Price: The price is reasonable. For two pasta dishes, one bottle of water and bread(yes, they charge you for bread) for two people, the bill came out to 26.30GBP. Ambiance: There’s nothing special about this place décor wise. It’s a simple restaurant and can get a bit loud. Service: The service was fine. Everyone was attentive to us. Would I go back? Yes. It’s one of those restaurants where you know the food will always be consistent every time you go back.

I was attended by the owner and it was the worst service in a restaurant I had in years if not ever! waited 20 minutes for a table I reserved! Waited 20 mins standing in next to the kitchen outlet! Food is decent but definetly overpriced! The restaurant itself looks like a bad 70’s throwback! Not to mention that at the moment of paying they just simply looked greedy for the money, cards were snapped out of my friends’ hands instead… need to say more? oh yeah, not a «thank you» or «thanks for coming»! I get better service from a Chinese all you can eat buffet

I like Aglio olio. It’s clean, the food always comes out exceptionally tasty and hot and the staff are polite and obliging. They will make gluten free pasta with any sauce, a real treat for me. They usually have it on site but I take my own variations and they are always. A little cramped but then again it’s Italian and the noise factor adds to the buzz.

These people can do no wrong. Every pasta dish I’ve tasted here has been utterly perfect. The aglio e olio is my favourite, and the crab appetizer is also lovely.

I love this place! It is a small beehive of activity on Fulham Road, not obvious from its signage or size. The staff is a mixture of Albanians and Italians who are invariably welcoming and unpretentious. They act as though the love having you there and they are attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. This is not a place for truly formal dining. The tables are too close to each other for that and the atmosphere is too festive. Dont go here if you want quiet place. The food is very good and very good value. The fresh fish is extremely good and so are the salads(try the ones with tomatoe and the ones with avacado). I like the pasta(made from dry) very much. I like the desserts(try strawberries and Greek Yoghurt). I have taken friends from London, NYC and California and they have without exception come back.

The menu is not by any means an extensive one for this restaurant. But everything is cooked to perfection! A great place to enjoy pasta in the way it should be.

Very pleased indeed by this little discovery. We stumbled upon this place while walked along Fulham Rd looking for some dinner before our movie at Cineworld nearby. It’s small and simple, and I like that they don’t faff around with useless but pretty décor and fancy tableware. The focus is entirely on the super-fresh food. Only bad thing is the acoustics in this place. Boy does it get noisy when the restaurant is full. As for food, we opted to share a main order of ginger and coriander mussels(fat, plump and juicy) and penne with tuna in a tomato sauce(perfectly done al dente). Quick and polite service, reasonable prices. Total bill came up to £17, minus service. And you get jelly beans with the bill. Jelly beans? Aww. It’s a winner.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in London, without a doubt. The food is seriously tasty, but I haven’t given the place five stars because the service is pretty arrogant, rightly so really, because they get it. A very busy place, you will need to book to get a table, even if it is just two of you. Go for a starter and main course otherwise you’ll feel you’ve missed out.

Simple, fresh and delicious Italian food, I have never had a meal here I didn’t enjoy. The veal milanese is incredibly generous in size and very tasty, and their regularly changing specials means there is always something new to try. A favourite with locals, it’s advisable to get here before 7pm if you haven’t booked a table.

This very good Italian restaurant offers fantastic pastas and a variety of other Italian dishes. The food is very good, the place cosy and always pretty busy. Book in advance to make sure you get a table. Worth a visit for the great food.

This restaurant has been around for a while, but it continues to offer good quality, decently priced Italian food in a pleasant décor. Pasta is excellent, and actually all the dishes I have had have been good. It gets popular with locals and as the restaurant is not very big, you might need to book.
