Positive? You’re right at the entrance to Shepherd’s Market, so you’ve got great people watching. Negative? Food wasn’t great, service wasn’t bad. Might be worth a trip back.

I went to the restaurant with my mom. We had a Spaghetti Aglio, Peperoncino£9.75, and Caesar Salad£9.50. Salad, which was so huge. It was really enough for 2 women. There is more room downstairs. Stuff is nice. I might not go again because there is no feature point… sorry.

This is my favourite Italian restaurant. I have not had a bad meal yet. The Penne Pasta is great, the Lasagna is great, the service is great. They were sold out of the Veal Parmigiana, but I’ll be back. :-)

I am surprised by the good reviews. This restaurant does create a first impression of great Italian food to come. It is situated down a small lane, the restaurant itself is small intimate, run by an Italian staff and hosting quite a few Italians have their exited chat over a pasta and a glass of grappa . The food however is uninspiring and not particularly tasteful. In short it does not live up to its image and is best summed up when asked for a bowl of Italian bread, olive oil and balsamic, you are served with half of a French baguette!

As we were staying right down the road, we visited this restaurant twice last week. Once for breakfast and once for dinner. Unfortunately I was not impressed on either visit. Food: Breakfast: Just… okay. Scrambled eggs were bland, oatmeal was under cooked, fruit was not ripe, toast was okay(but how hard is it to make toast?) My MIL ordered an omelette with potatoes and she said it was delicious. Dinner: Bruschetta was tasty but I’ve had better bruschetta at Strada and Caluccio’s. I also ordered a shrimp appetizer which was mushy and came mixed with far too much mayo. Other people in my part ordered pizza and salmon. No serious complaints but nobody was too thrilled with their food either. Service: Our server at breakfast was nice but struggled with English and messed up our order. I think the owner/manager got upset with her … I felt bad. For the most part service is fine. Ambiance: This place could use a bit of a face lift and/or a good clean. I don’t like leaving such a negative review but I can’t think of too many good things about this place. I probably won’t return.

I cant remember when I first discovered this gem, by accident, walking thorugh Sheperd Market. What a discovery! I have only had breakfast there. Some day I hope to have lunch or dinner there. I have heard wonderful things about their sandwiches etc. The scrambled eggs for breakfast and toast is delicious. The staff is wonderful. The place is a bit on the small side and if it is full it can be a bit cramped. Still it is worth a visit. It seems to be entirely a family operation and that adds a charming side to it. The prices are very reasonable. On a couple of visits there, there were some very recognizable movie stars having breakfast. No one bothered them and there was no gawking. They were left to enjoy their breakfast. I am not so sure that would happen in the States.

This is a nice cozy little place located in Shepherd Market. We stopped by for breakfast one morning and it did not disappoint. The service was fast and friendly. The breakfast dishes were a decent portion and the salmon tasted fresh. We were not fans of the coffee, had an off putting taste. A good choice for an inexpensive meal.

A solid though unspectacular place. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. A good meal though nothing to write home about.

SOOOO good. The waitresses were extremely friendly and helpful, the food was SUPER fresh and delicious AND the service was fantastic. Couldn’t have been more happy when i left! Lasagna was superb and the day we went the specials included chicken risotto and a lamb dish with mashed potatoes which were both amazing as well. we decided to stay for dessert and try the chocolate cake which we did NOT regret… it was SOOSOS amazing we all loved it and couldn’t have eaten it any faster. to top it off, we had been craving a good chocolate cake since we had been on vacation and couldn’t find one quite satisfying BUT this cake really hit the spot. SOGOOD. Will DEFINITELY come here next time I’m in town!

The restaurant is small and quaint upstairs with room for larger groups downstairs. Food is fantastic and really feels authentically home made. Meal is always served piping hot(a real rarity)! Highlight for me is the lasagna.

Their breaded chicken and brie panini was the best I have ever tasted. I was quite pleased!
