Price and Value

Pros:

• "For all that we had, £21 per person felt pretty fair. Honestly, for the quality, it was a good deal."
• "A great Italian find tucked away in High Street Kensington and inspired by Lake Como."
• "The prices were a little high but not unreasonable and definitely not high considering the quality, ambiance, service, and location."

Cons:

• "Its a great place and i would recommend it but for me, even for its prime location, prices vs portion size was a bit off."
• "The food was genuinely good but when the dough balls (dessert) is the only stand out plate you have a bit of a problem, especially at the price."
• "Portions are quite small. The service was not the best as we placed our starters order and asked for bread to come along with it. Starters arrived, we waited a bit for the bread which only arrived with our mains."
