   We had a fantastic early dinner as a group of eight, including two little ones (both 2 years old). The service was excellent—fast and attentive—which made a huge difference for us, especially with the kids getting tired at dinnertime. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with great music adding to the experience. As for the food—simply outstanding! We shared all the appetizers, and every single one was delicious. The focaccia was perfectly soft with a nice crunchy crust, the pork belly was unbelievable, and both the mini panzerotti and truffle arancini were a true delight. We enjoyed every bite! For mains, we tried several pasta dishes, all incredibly fresh and full of flavor. I highly recommend the ’nduja and sausage pasta, which was my personal favorite. For the kids, we ordered pasta with tomato sauce—huge portions, and they nearly finished everything, which meant we could enjoy our meal while watching their happy faces. Though we skipped dessert to head home with the little ones, our cocktails throughout the evening were excellent. If you’re into non-alcoholic drinks, the Mare Nostrum is a must-try, and for something with a kick, the Gin Sour Piccante is fantastic. We’ll definitely be back!

   My wife and I had an exceptional dining experience at Scarpetta in Canary Wharf. As an Italian food enthusiast, she was delighted by the delicious starters, especially the spicy Arrabiata and cacio e pepe, which were outstanding. Despite the restaurant being bustling with all tables occupied, the staff efficiently managed the service, ensuring a pleasant meal. Scarpetta has become our top choice for Italian cuisine when we visit London.

   the attendance of staff to our table was terrible, had to flag down 10 mins after arrival just to order drinks, this continued to be the case throughout. it was seated full without any extra people elsewhere so this tells me they should be able to cope with this number. the pasta for all the table party of various dishes was undercooked for the price of £15 per dish, you dont get much & to combine the service & the raw pasta, this was terrible. would not recommend or come back again.

   The ambience is nothing to talk about. The food was good but overpriced. But the worst part was service. Even though we booked a table and mentioned that it is a special occasion, they gave us the table right in the middle of restaurant with people walking all around. And then we had to call the servers multiple times, sometimes by waving and even through small noises, just to get their attention. They served something I did ask them to cancel while placing order. It was just poor communication on their part. And there is no dessert in the menu. Maybe more suited for business meetings but definitely not for special occasions or dinners.

   Forgot about our starters. By then one dish ran out. 3 out of our 5 pastas were cold we had to send back.

   Delicious homemade pasta and friendly, efficient service. A great place to enjoy pasta in Canary Wharf. The pork belly was excellent too.

    Brilliant atmosphere, great quality food and the best value in Canary Wharf. Food was delicious, party of 4 for two courses, drinks and one dessert under £150.
