Ordered the beef ragu gluten free, and it was the best fresh gluten free pasta I've had. Homemade and cooked to a perfect al dente. It was well sauced too, and a generous portion. My only nit is that the ragu didn't really have a big depth of flavor, but it was good.
My wife got the whole wheat burrata and nduja. She thought that the spiciness of the dish went well with the whole wheat pasta.
For appetizer we got the sauteed vegetables, which were cooked well.
Service was friendly. All in all, would definitely go there again to try some of there other dishes.
The plates were colourful and felt like I was being served a kids meal but I suppose thats just the style, if it was served in a white plate then it would be more photo appealing, overall good experience.
It was eatable, but very overpriced for how average and tasteless the pasta was. You are expecting way more when you pay £14-15 for a normal pasta bolognaise. I didn’t even take a picture of the food, that’s how boring the presentation of the pasta was.
Service was also below average. Very slow compared to how much staff and how few costumers on a Friday evening. No smiles, drinks came separately, they took plates away before both of us were done eating and they were very very cheap with the Parmesan cheese, which maybe could have brought a bit more taste to the tasteless pasta.
Definitely not worth the 12,5% service charge/tips.
Music in the restaurant was very weird and we had no idea what wibe they were trying to do - Italian, rock, pop?!
Pizzas looks good though, but we are probably not going back.
Negatives: staff were inattentive and cold, really looked like they wanted to be anywhere else. I'm sorry to say the food was absolutely awful, we had the beef ragu pasta and cacio e pepe pasta - both overcooked, soupy mess with no flavour at all. My pasta was floating in oil I couldn't stomach it. When the server brought us the bill he didn't ask how it was because I'm sure he already knew it was terrible. It was a waste of money and wasted evening.
