We’re regulars at Cecconi’s - but this specific one at the Ned is uniquely amazing. We had the most fabulous and amazing experience! Mourad looked after us and he was not only professional, but he made the evening so very enjoyable with his kind, warm and personal service. Would definitely recommend a visit and will definitely be back (if not just for the food but also for Mourad!) We’ll see you very soon Cecconi’s!
