    A lovely restaurant in Soho. The service was great and the food was wonderful. Extensive wine list which was made less daunting with recommendations from our waiter. It was quite quiet when we visited on a Sat lunch but it got a bit busier so the ambience improved. I would definitely go back!

    One of the pricier joints in the city, but unlike some places - here you paid for quality. The service was friendly, relaxed and helpful - something you *sometimes* don't get in higher end restaurants . The food was delicious, we all had pasta, and the waiters are willing to alter recipe's depending on what you like- for example a member of our party didn't like chilli's, so the waiter simply offered to make it without. The craft Italian cocktails was a newly uncovered gem, unexpected to find in Mayfair, and the atmosphere inside was delightful.
