Amazing and soo delicious food, the staff are kind and helpful I recommend this Italian restaurant
Food and service was fantastic. Wine was delicious. Really was surprised at how good my pasta was, tortelloni paradiso. Service was cheerful, friendly and prompt. Lovely and quiet inside. 50 a head for shared wine, main and starter each service. Very full afterwards.
Food was amazing highly recommend the butternut squash & asparagus risotto. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Look forward to returning again.
Delicious food ( plenty of vegan options), great location and lovely service.
Have been here a few times for pizza and it’s always great. Lovely thin base and great flavours. Campagnolo is a firm favourite!
We loved this restaurant! The food was authentically Italian, the staff were friendly, and the hospitality was outstanding. Mesut was an amazing host—professional, attentive, and helped us choose the best pasta. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it.
Perfect Italian style food. Tucked away behind Oxford Street so you can enjoy dinner without all the chaos. The carbonara and tortelloni was delicious. We ordered tiramisu for dessert and it was gorgeous. Will definitely be visiting here again.
We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. A special shout-out to Eugene, who provided exceptional service. He was polite, kind, and went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Eugene gave us great recommendations, and everything we ordered turned out to be absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend!
