    We enjoyed, nay, loved our experience at Fitz’s for Christmas lunch. It could not have been better. Cocktails to champagne to burgundy, pared with magnificent dishes, including lobster bisque, scallops, turkey, pudding and more. OMG it was great. But the service was spectacular. We had Naeera, a French lady who was exceptionally attentive. Over four hours of bliss! Thank you Naeera — you made Christmas 2024 so special for us.

    Nice vibe for Xmas lunch set menu. Friendly staff. Can’t fault the food but it didn’t wow me for the price of £125 per head. Partly the portions while fine and I was satisfied I could have been bigger - which I would have eaten- for the price. Overall I’d say it was quite good but if the proof is in the question would I go back next year or recommend to a friend the answer is no unfortunately.

    We have eaten at Pentole & Padelle twice this week and are over the moon. We came with a large party (9-10 ppl) and found it by accident as we made a random reservation day-of; it was the perfect place to escape the crazy Christmas crowds on the nearby busy streets. We were immediately welcomed in and were impressed with the hospitality and the ambience. It is lovely inside, warm and welcoming, casual but very nice. The decor is lovely and is very festive for the holiday season. We’ve done both the regular menu and the prix fixe menu and have loved everything: for appetizers the croquettes, the artichoke soup, the bruschetta is out of this world. For entrees we’ve had spaghetti, carbonara, lasagna, linguini with prawns, and everything has been phenomenal. Fresh, homemade, pure ingredients. The desserts (panna cotta, Tirimisu, assorted sherbets) are among the best we’ve ever had. Price ranged but was less than £30 each. We also recommend the limoncello spritz! We cannot recommend Pentole & Padelle enough. We’ll be coming back as soon as we make it back to London!
