    We had a great italian meal here and service was very friendly. Small restaurant with wooden tables and some high-chair window seats plus small deli.

    My go-to authentic Italian restaurant in London is. The food and wine are amazing, and ask away for recommendations for wine to accompany the food! The ambience is warm and intimate, a good place for a date dinner or a heartfelt dinner with close friends.

    Some fussy friends who eat out a lot had recommended this as a favourite option, and I could quite see why. Delicious, authentic Italian food (an excellent frittura mista followed by home-made pasta with a beautifully flavoured sauce) and a half-litre of good Sicilian wine for what, by the standards of the Bermonssey Street neighbourhood, are very reasonable prices. It was full of people enjoying themselves and chatting happily, and no wonder. The only problem may be how to get in, as it is small (but they do manage to use the space to maximum effect). I feel stupid for not having been before - we live round the corner and have quite often visited the deli that runs in the daytime -- but will certainly be back!
