Disappointing lunch. Ridiculous prices for drinks, a basic glass of wine ten pounds! Food mediocre, Italian but heavy. Most important the owner/manager is rude and after seeing me give a tip to the nice waitress, he told her to put the money in the till, unacceptable!

Another satisfied customer..lives up to its high rating. All food arrived promptly and was delicious. After a trip to Kew Gardens I came here for an early, quick lunch, preferring proper food to high calorie low nutrient snack food.The whole beautiful meal ...a Negroni, prawn pasta, panna cotta, espresso plus time to leave this review came in at under an hour. Superb. I don't know if this could be repeated later in the day when busy but the speed of delivery certainly impressed me today. A well run restaurant.

A lovely friendly and genuine welcome from all the staff here last night. Our starters and mains were top notch, the truffle ravioli a standout. Dessert was a little disappointing and the house wine was ok but we had a fabulous time.

A very welcoming, family-run Italian restaurant in Kew. The menu is pretty extensive and there are good precautions re: Covid. I had their black truffle ravioli and tiramisu and they were both great! I would definitely recommend and want to come back. Its very close to Kew Gardens; so easy to reach if youre visiting for the day.

Totally authentic Italian experience. From the gorgeously decadent truffle ravioli to the loud & welcoming Italian owner/manager (?) You even get some pre packed breadsticks with your cutlery! If you come here you legally have to try the black truffle ravioli for starter or main from the specials menu. Super rich & intense earthy truffle tones. All of my friends enjoyed their meals. Big portions. Well priced. Great staff. Highly recommend. Would return.

Some of the best food I have ever had. I attended on recommendation by a friend, and I wasnt disappointed. The starter platter between the 4 of us was a perfect selection of meats, seat food, chargrilled veg and salad. Service was amazing, I cannot wait to go back!

This was way better than advertised by the other reviews. I was welcomed as a single table, and the calamari appetizer was likely the best I've ever had. The arriabiata was actually spicy unlike most I find in English speaking regions. I truly enjoyed the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Though they were certainly not overwhelmed with guests, they were quite happy to entertain requests or questions.
