    Staff weren't able to cope with the amount of orders due to Jan deals - a couple came in who had a reservation and were turned away as they had overbooked. Tables are tiny, practically sat on top of one another & pegs are placed to the side of you on the wall so your coats limit the space even more. Staff were friendly and doing the best they could given the circumstances but we didnt have order dessert menu taken for over 20 minutes and had to ask for the bill twice and still took over 15 minutes to receive. Pasta was OK but was still hungry when I left. Would like to see if it has a different atmosphere when the January deal isn't on because I have heard good things, but definitely didn't live up to its previous reviews

    Gorgeous and authentic place just as expected, lovely dishes on the menu, I was particularly happy that it was mainly vegetarian dishes, not many places do I find this. We did feel rushed to order and eat as only had 1.5 hours and was reminded of this a few times by staff, so not as relaxed as had hoped. When booking, open table gives option to send message to restaurant or make special requests. I had noted that it was my mother in laws birthday and even asked did they have candles for her dessert, I was told yes. We ordered 2 sharing dessert boards, but unfortunately my request was forgotten and no candles came out which was a shame as her grandchildren would have loved to have sung Happy Birthday to her.

    First visit and really enjoyed it. Excellent food and great service. Although we were comfortable at the 'high' tables, would prefer more normal tables.

    Food is amazing, great value for money with January offer. The only downside is limited seating space when you are back to back to the table next to you.

    A relaxed atmosphere, good service and very good food. Unusually for a trattoria, there were a few vegan options; the one I chose was delicious. The sweet menu was also very good. Again, my vegan option - tiramisu - was excellent. The tables and chairs are not the most comfortable - more bar stools than restaurant chairs - and the space can be a little cramped (it's popular). However, these are very minor quibbles. Highly recommended. Hopefully, we will be back.

    No space at the tables, unpleasant hot. Very loud music and service, service runs unnecessarily introducing an unnecessary atmosphere of stress. I booked a table over a month ago and I was sitting at the staff table next to the bar. Overall I didn't like it. Prices are disproportionate to the quality of food. And at the very end they tried to add something to my bill that I didn't order. Disappointing.
