We had a nice light meal here. A few sharing plates between us. Everything was very nice and the ham was especially good. Also I was very impresssed with the DA VERO BIOLOGICO, DOC (NERO d'AVOLA) SICILY, which was one of the cheaper red wine options, but hit the spot.

A lovely tapas bar right in the middle of Soho, staff are great, warm friendly welcome. Food good - my one issue was the music, it’s unbelievably bad 😂 literally Black Sabbath- in a tapas bar in Soho ?! It doesn’t make any sense! Then U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday - I actually like that song but it’s just totally out of kilter with the place! Apart from that all really good!

Attentive service by the lovely Irish waitress who served us. Very knowledgeable about the menu and carefully helped my friend select options that did not trigger their allergies (even double checking with the chef for reassurance) We enjoyed a tasty selection of tapas, Vinho Verdi wine and 2017 Churchill Port to finish in a beautiful candle-lit setting with a wonderful music playlist.
