10/10A hidden gem. The food was delicious and the staff really friendly and helpful. The decor is fun and stylish which sounds impossible but it works. The 50% discount was an added bonus

8.5/10Lovely staff and great service. It’s a small restaurant which gives a different and pleasant atmosphere to typical London restaurants. The food was decent, however it could have had a touch more flavour in some of the dishes. However, for the price it was very good value for money. The restaurant seems to have a long happy hour which was great, however the cocktails were made (in part) from pre-mixed cartons which tasted weaker than normal. A recommendation would be to use all the ingredients from scratch as you can really taste the difference. Overall very happy with the food and experience.

5.5/10Modern and intimate restaurant with friendly service. Did not however provide value for money despite 50% discount. The bruchetta Margarita at the full price of £9.90 was just about worth its discounted £4. 45. It was well presented but rather small. It was doubtful if the advertised home made tiramisu was actually made locally. The website stated that draft beer was available but not so when we visited. The 50% food discount did not apply to the dessert for reason unknown. Unlikely to return.

7/10I recently visited this Italian cafe/restaurant. The service was enthusiastic but a bit patchy. The pizza and tiramisu were slightly above average, offering a decent meal without any major surprises. What truly stood out was the endearing co-owner, whose warmth and passion made us feel right at home. Their hospitality added a special touch that made up for any minor flaws. In summary, while the food and service may not be unforgettable, the genuine charm of the co-owner makes this cafe worth a visit.
