The food and service were excellent. I had lamb cutlets with potato mouse, absolutely delicious . The lamb was cooked medium rare, so tender. My son had the ribeye and commented it was excellent, served with peppercorn sauce and big chunky chips. My wife had the mushroom risotto, also commenting on the quality. Service was excellent with attentive and polite staff, highly recommended.

We had a day trip into London and we all really wanted Italian. Seeing that this restaurant made its own pasta was just fantastic so we had to try it! I had the lobster pasta which was really tasty, my daughter had the boar and my husband had the vongole which was also super. We had some nice wine to compliment the dishes. Despite it being incredibly busy the waitress was able to get us seated quite quickly. Service was very friendly - the whole experience was fantastic

Booked 100 Wardour Street for a birthday dinner with friends. Amazing staff, amazing service and lovely food. It was so lovely to not be rushed off our table like so many restaurants do in December, and the set menu was delicious. They brought everything to our table with a good time in between without feeling like they were in a hurry to get rid of us. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back! Great love entertainment too!
