Cons:
"Extremely BAD experience!!!"
"The waiter was extremely rude and said because we were ordering a small meal plus drinks they would not allow for our friend to sit with us if they were not also eating."
"The manager is very RUDE and RACIST!"
"Her attitude from this point onwards changed and she looked genuinely annoyed with us for no good reason."
"The staff were in hurry or what to go home. I mean I seriously don’t understand their bad behaviour."
"Service was slightly odd as the staff was slightly pushy as one of the staff aggressively asked us if we were done eating halfway through our meal."
"The staff do seem abrupt and it does feel like an interrogation when you try and get in."
Food Quality
Pros:
"One of the best meals we have ever eaten. Chicken with dauphenoise potatoes and mushroom sauce was exquisite."
"Food was good too."
"Beautiful place, very attentive and efficient staff, but most importantly the food was faultless."
"Great food. I had the carbonara and the missus had a calzone."
"Pacific pizza was good lots of salmon on it."
"Hands down the best Italian food I have had in a very long time."
"The deluxe chicken pizza had a crispy crust, generous toppings of chicken, and mushrooms, and a delicious tomato sauce."
Cons:
"The bases were tasteless, like they weren't made fresh."
"How to F... up a Caesar Salad completely: use cheap convenient food croutons, ready made out of a bag."
"There is nothing worse than overcooked tagliatelle as it is so thin anyway."
"Portion size and presentation for a fish meal was slightly a letdown considering price tag being quite high."
"We felt the Mediterranean Platter as a starter was not that great value for money."
"The outside of Calzone is extremely hard, barely can use a knife to cut through."
"The calzone base was very doughy as it wasn’t fully cooked."
Atmosphere & Ambience
Pros:
"A terrific location."
"Lovely little restaurant."
"Beautiful setting. Staff outside opened the door welcoming us into a warm restaurant on a chilly evening."
"Lovely atmosphere."
"Beautiful atmosphere."
"Wonderful atmosphere to eat in. Very warm compared to the chill that day."
"Such a beautiful ambience."
Cons:
"Atmosphere is pretty dead and there are insects crawling, which shows that the place is a bit run down and needs some cleaning up."
"The only downside to this restaurant is that the upstairs seating is very cramped. Possibly a few too many tables for the room size."
"It's strange, cos the male staff of about 1 or 2 at the door, at first looked like bouncers!"
"There is usually a bouncer on the door which seems strange."
"Not the ideal restaurant worthy queues."
"Service is just horrendous! From menu being thrown at the table to being timed to order and finish our meal."
"However the door man was rather rude and made the experience uncomfortable."

"Good prices."
"Prices are reasonable compared to places we ate at while in London."
"Huge portions for the price."
Cons:
"Considering price tag being quite high."
"£14.95 for a pizza and £6.50 for a pint of Peroni, over priced."
"To have paid high prices for such poor food is disgusting."
"For £14.95 for a pasta dish expect better than that!"
"Penne Arbiatta I wud say expensive at £15.95."
"Price was a little on the steep end: £16 for pizza/pasta, but large portions."
