The main waiter (or owner, the one in the main door) pretends to be funny but he was disgusting.

Arrived on time for our booked reservation. Gave my name but the doorman wasn’t really interested. He herded as to a table and we sat down. We ordered drinks and were almost immediately pounced on for our order. We felt under pressure to give an answer as the waiter stood over us. When our food came it was almost thrown at us. All the time people were being herded in and out like they were on a conveyer belt. It was very noisy and felt totally rushed. There were too many tables crammed in. We were near the door and people were constantly walking past and nudging my friend in the back as there wasn’t much room to squeeze by. All this said, the food was really nice. Not a place for a leisurely meal and a quiet chat

Service was great, they were very attentive. Food arrived quickly and was tasty. Only negative is the lack of space, with tables so close you are literally joining others and no space for the servers to walk in between so your chair is constantly being kicked every time they walk past. So I just didn't feel very relaxed, trying to keep my elbows and feet in and sit as close as possible to the table.

The service was good but I did feel like we were being rushed a bit. I found the ambience a bit sterile. The food was good but not exceptional. My sea bass was just a touch over cooked. So overall I would say it was a an ok dinner.

Right from the welcome in the street all the way through service was absolutely fabulous and the food was delicious. Super quick service. Would highly recommend to anyone that is in Paddington!

Very busy at 7.20 pm. A table where I sat with my mum only left a very narrow passage for the waiting staff to squeeze through to serve other tables. Wrong sauce was given for the ribeye steak and when requested to change to the original peppercorn ordered, they simply picked out the mushroom from the pot !! One French fries was on the steak dish when served with roast potatoes and vegetables. Overall, a disappointing meal.

Food was very good. Pesto could have used a tad more salt and basil for my liking but the bruschetta, pizza, lasagna, gnocchi, and tiramisu were all great. I would highly recommend Wait staff was extremely attentive It was a very tight fit for a family of 5 at a booth but we’ve come to expect that in European restaurants. Restaurant was on the noisier side, but thankfully we were along the edge, otherwise I’m not sure we could have heard each other.

The gnocchi and pasta was very good. One of the better meals in London. And proximity to paddington station is a nice benefit

Went here with my friend to grab lunch, restaurant was good and service was nice but I found 2 hairs in my fries told the waiter but they just brushed it off so that was kind of upsetting, but except that everything else was good.

The food was good & the waiting staff were friendly & nice. The ambiance felt a bit crowded though. The manager asked us to give a 5 star review. And our waitress asked us to give her an extra tip as the service charge wouldn’t go to the serving staff. This was concerning & uncomfortable.

Booked a table but had to join a queue of others who had booked but didn’t have a table. Booking system clearly not fit for purpose/doesnt actually get looked at. When we finally got a table after a 20 minute wait they didn’t even take our names for the booking. We were served quickly to be fair but I think they wanted us in and out as quickly as possible. Quite noisy and not much room. Every time the waiting staff went past my chair got kicked (roughly once a minute). The starter was quite nice (bruschetta). The pizza was yummy. The desert was mediocre (profiteroles). Overall I would say don’t bother booking if you’re going to go. Avoid busy times. Not great ambience. The food is quite nice and at a fair price.
