“ Oh my what a happy accident! Flew to London on last minute business. Met w Associates from Dubai and Australia. We had planned on going to a gem down the way but they were booked. Bilal had remembered an area nearby and we walked there. It was a rainy one and legging it was nice only because the rain mercifully slowed for a few minutes. We smelled something great. Walked for a bit and all three of us looked at each other and said... Let's go back to the wonderful smell! So glad we did. Our server spoke w Mo in Italian and was so sweet. The items are very reasonably priced. Check out the pics. All food was gone! ”
“ They do amazing Italian food and beverages! all though.. the pizza had some funky fishy paste hiding under the tomato sauce :/ im allergic to fish. please do write on the menu that the comes with the pepperoni pizza your lucky I was able to catch out that stench wafting back at me from the pizza. ”
“ Great option for Italian food in the area. The pizza was a nice thin crust with a wide range of toppings. You can get pizza by the meter for group dining. The pastas were cooked properly and the sauces was flavourful. Just went with the classic meat ragu. You can taste the time that went into the sauce. The rocket salad was super fresh and the tomato tasted like tomato. This is pretty rare for London and the produce here is not that great. The service was friendly and very Italian. They even appreciated me asking what brand of coffee they serve. (Its Kimbo, which is my favourite Italian mass exported coffee) Would totally come back. ”
“ Fantastic restaurant great food. Wonderful service good price as well!!! We had pizza, spaghetti, calzone sausages , and ham Parmesan. All very delicious ”
“ Great food, brisk and good service. Very predictable. I like their seafood and side orders. The appetizers are all great.! ”
“ Mamma Mia! What an experience! Myself and 5 friends were looking for somewhere relaxed but with high quality food and boy o boy did we find just that here! I was able to book a table on the day for 6 people and we were given a two hour time slot (8-10pm). On arrival we were shown to our table straight away and handed food and wine menus. I had read a few reviews previously and was aware that they did meter long pizza - very impressive! I ordered the calamari, with garlic tomato bread to share for starter and a pizza (for 1) for main! The portions are HUGE! Seriously, mahussive! But this doesn't take away from the quality. The calamari was crispy and fresh served with a lovely garlic sauce and the garlic pizza bread was delicious, with no shortage of tomato - yummy! Now to the pizza, ahhh yum! I love pizza and this one didn't let me down - topped with Parma ham, rocket and Parmesan shavings - it really was a wonderful but, for me, there was way too much Parmesan shavings. Overall though a fantastic meal, plenty of food, great quality for the price, friendly staff and a great location, slap bang in the middle of Exmouth Market! Bravo! ”
“ Flying pizzas thats good! I went to this little Italian restaurant when we had forgotten to book a table anywhere and were in need of some pre-gig food before quite possibly a messy night. Wow! It's not very often that the service in a place can really knock me off my feet but here they did. They were a busy restaurant filled with office workers having their Christmas parties and even though they were fully booked said that if we would be gone by 8pm we were very welcome to eat there. It was 6pm and I considered that we may want to stay longer but thought that 2 hours should be enough. The staff were polite, patient, always smiling and incredibly friendly without being annoying. My friend and I ordered from the set menu and had a selection of anti pasta for starters. We then had home cooked pizzas that were cooked right in front of us (we were sat right next to the kitchen which is all open) and some very tasty homemade cocktails. This place is a gem and I'm so glad I found it, better than any pizza express and independently run. I cannot speak highly enough of it. When it got to 8pm we weren't rushed out our seats, everything remained calm and we happily left, smelling of garlic and with our bellies full. ”
