“ It was such an amazing experience. The owner of the restaurant was there at the time we had a dinner. It was such a unique experience, amazing food, amazing wine and we didnt even notice how quickly time passed. We felt we found a hidden gem somewhere in Italy, cant believe this amazing place exist in side of the London. ”
“ Wonderful restaurant, charming ambience, very much a hidden gem on a slightly shoddy backstreet off Finchley Road. Once you walk into the door you forget what is outside. Warm and candlelit with incredible food, wonderful wine and even warmer service... and a great soundtrack to boot! You can safely order the dishes you would only usually trust ordering in Italy as you will be delighted. Not the one if you’re on a tight budget but worth the spend to support a local independent gem. Can’t wait to return, lovely date night, we had a brilliant time. ”
