The starters were a bit uninspiring. The beef tartare tasted good but they need to work on the presentation of the dish. My partner's deep fried mussels were average. They came with a dollop of mayonnaise and a wedge of lemon.
The mains, were lovely (we ordered pasta).
Cacío e Pepe pasta and the beef Ragu pasta. you could tell it was handmade pasta, the sauce was lovely, rich and it had great depth.
The dessert was good but nothing special. Almond tart with a dollop of creme fraiche.
We washed down all our food with a bottle of red wine from the Marche region in Italy.
The total bill came to approximately £120. Not necessarily a bargain but still in line with many other places on London.
I'd come to this place again if invited by friends or if I happened to be in the area.
Great homemade pasta with just as good, if not better, desserts. Prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of food.
Possibly an unpopular opinion, but the cacio e pepe felt too one-dimensional for me. It wasn't bad by any means - the handmade pici was lovely - but it felt boring. Perhaps all the reviews talking about it in particular got my hopes up.
However, I loved the parpadelle beef ragu. Lovely flavours and the pasta and beef were cooked to perfection.
Also got to try what I think should be the tagliatelle with cuttlefish - nice flavours and the cuttlefish was oceanic without any excessively fishy taste!
Onto the desserts - the tiramisu was ideal for sharing. Light and airy, yet rich and delicious. Definitely my preferred dessert. The panna cotta was a bit more indulgent, but still good.
Overall, I'd probably go back! Remember to book though.
