Food Quality
Pros:
"If you are looking for authentic Italian food, you will find it here!"
"However the taste was very good and we enjoyed our ravioli too."
"The salad ingredients are so yummy and fresh!"
"Exceptional food, for Pasta I would recommend the Orecchiette or Strozzapreti."
"You can really feel the ingredients are of the best quality, and you can see the amount of detail overall in the preparation of the food."
"Really tasty pasta, all four of us had something different and no one was disappointed."
"The pasta I ordered was so creamy that made my mouth water and the meat balls were excellent and succulent."
Cons:
"The food was tasted like it was from the frozen food section at tesco (the value range)."
"The portion was small and unreasonable for the high price."
"Inadequate and overpriced food, with only a fresh burrata living up to our hopes."
"The pasta, however, was miniscule in portion size, especially given the price (£9.95) and limited ingredients."
"The plate of cavatelli with truffle had no truffle in it but probably only a splash of truffle flavored oil, which is very dishonest considering its price."
"The sea bream main plate felt like the fish was off and it had a very strong fishy flavour."
"Overpriced fake Italian food."
Service
Pros:
"The entire staff were friendly and on-point and the atmosphere was inviting and warm."
"Really great starters and sharing platter with cheese and meats was wonderful."
"The staff are really friendly!"
"With the help of a very dedicated and professional staff and punctual service."
"The staff was very kind and attentive."
"Great staff, specially Marina, she has very welcoming, warm personality, and friendly manners!"
"We also really appreciated the politeness and warm and nice welcoming of Carmelo and the whole staff."
Cons:
"We had to ask for a menu and ask to order our drinks and they weren't even busy."
"The waiter did not create a warm welcome as there was this constant starring at us while we having our food and I felt like I was not wanted there."
"Arrogant and aggressive manager, of whom even the poor (and lovely) waiters were steering clear."
"The service is disorganized, it took two people to find my reservation and seat me at a table."
"The service was slow and the waiters not particularly friendly or helpful."
"The waiting staff is totally lost and they take ages to welcome you and offer you a table."
"Staff were really rude - they were rushing us up and made us feel super uncomfortable!"
Atmosphere
Pros:
"It is very relaxing and smart but not posh or overpriced (which in London is quite rare to find)."
"Nice cosy place in the heart of London bridge. It offers a good variety of southern Italy (Puglia) food in a nice venue, however it's a bit pricy for the quality of the service it offers."
"The atmosphere is relaxed and the design of the place is really beautiful."
"Beautiful restaurant, nice atmosphere!"
"The decor and vibe of the place is immaculate."
"This is a really cosy and high quality Italian food restaurant in a quite place near Borough Market."
"The decor is an incredible chic mixed with a hint of minimalism and this is also seen in the seating plan where seats and tables are far and few between allowing for privacy."
Cons:
"Atmosphere noisy nothing to absorb noise so background noise high, hard to have an intimate chat."
"This restaurant feels very like a canteen, and has tiny tables in a very noisy, clattering space."
"Bright and garish lighting and the menu didn't look tasty or authentic on its laminated menu."
"Probably the worst fake Italian in London."
"Decor and layout bright - more for people with a business expense account (and no savoury taste buds) than an intimate romantic eatery."
"The food small portion, overpriced."
"Service was not warm."
Value
Pros:
"Price is reasonable too and wine was quite nice!"
"Price is not really cheap but feels fair."
"It’s not cheap but they use top quality ingredients- you get what you pay for."
"Absolutely great place where one can indulge in awesome food and drinks at reasonable prices, optimal hygienic conditions."
"Food quality by London standards very high and value for money excellent when you calculate that we are in London bridge in a tourist area."
"The seats are very comfortable, and the prices are quite reasonable; they currently have a special lunch offer of 2 courses for £16."
"The food was wonderful and really fresh; the wine a great treat."
Cons:
"The portion was small and unreasonable for the high price."
"We ended up paying 50 pounds over what was agreed and left feeling aggrieved and embarrassed in front of my staff."
"At £14, I was expecting more. Avoid."
"I would change the quantity of food. In my eyes, the amount of food was too small which left me a lil’ bit peckish, the price was high though."
"The prices are just slightly high but I understand them on one side considering the location on the touristic appeal!"
