Very nice lunch, shared a few plates. The pizza was one of the best ever. Lamb was superb as were the croquettes.

The atmosphere was really great, however the food was a hit and miss. We had a variety of dishes, the burrata with tomatoes, arancini, fried courgette fries, margarita pizza and the spaghetti meatball pasta. The pizza was surprisingly the tastiest dish we had, however the meatball spaghetti wasn’t great, it was bland and little to no flavour. The courgette fries were good, as well as the burrata (although the tomatoes were sliced crazy thin). Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this, as I felt the food lacked oomph and there are other Italian restaurants, that provide better dishes and flavour.

Simply my favourite restaurant in London. Stunningly good, that not only tastes good, but inspires me to go home and try and improve my own cooking.
