This traditional Italian restaurant, reputed as 'a village restaurant in the heart of London', prides itself on its 'family run' feel yet maintains an air of professionalism when it comes to the service and the authenticity of the food. The décor creates an intimate ambience with antique furniture and pictures making it an ideal business venue at lunch and perfect for a romantic dinner a deux by night. Patrons who can be found here are a host of regulars, celebrities, tourists on the trail to and from the nearby British Museum and theatre luvvies. Menu highlights include châteaubriand, pappardelle with duck breast sauce, and linguine with seafood. But don't worry, if your favourite dish is not there, the chef is more than happy to accommodate your request! This is the place where you can enjoy a relaxing evening out. In fact, you will relax so much you don't want to leave!

    Great food just felt little bit claustrophobic due to restaurant being busy. Imagine better in summer as you can sit outside. Not ideal for business meetings but still excellent food.

    We have made this our regular meeting place in London, and go for lunch every three months. The food is consistently good, with an extensive menu and specials board. Service is great, they are always friendly and polite and never rush us. We will be back in a couple of months

    Great little Italian restaurant in Fitzrovia. Perfect for a date with good food, nice atmosphere, and friendly but unobtrusive service. Small, so can get a bit crowded, but a go-to spot.
