We had the fish main courses, one of us the salmon and the other the sea bass. Both were delicious, with a decent serving of nicely-cooked vegetables, washed down with a very presentable Soave. For dessert we had tiramisu - very good - and the zabaglione - first class. It was great to have proper Italian cooking and the service was attentive and friendly.

We were disappointed by the dining experience in this restaurant. We ordered a pizza and an escalope Milanese. The escalope was rather tough and not as thin as would normally be served. It was served with chips (not made in-house but probably frozen), broccoli and carrots. The breadcrumb coating disintegrated on cutting the escalope. The pizza was of very average quality, probably not produced with in-house made dough. On making a complaint at the end of the meal we were brought complimentary glasses of lemoncella - no doubt because it is a cheaper way for the restaurant to deal with a complaint than giving an actual rebate for poor food. On receiving the bill we were surprised to be automatically charged 12.5% service . The prices here are high and certainly not justified by the quality of the food (two mains and a bottle of house wine came to £75). The service was not good enough to warrant a 12.5% tip. I guess the main clientele here are tourists staying at the many hotels in the area, not regular repeat customers. I would not go back - this is definitely not authentic Italian dining.

I had the veal scallops in lemon sauce. They were very tough with a good chew, so I ate them as I was hungry. The setting is nice and the service was very pleasant. I might choose differently the next time I’m in the area.

Very average pizza. Toppings and excessive cheese tasted like budget versions. I had the Messicana pizza and it was no different to a frozen pepperoni you buy in a cost-cutter supermarket. Tiramisu lacked flavour. The staff are friendly and service was good. The restaurant was reasonably busy and has had many good reviews, so maybe I was unlucky this time! I shall not be returning though.

Utterly Terrible! I tend to not write bad reviews and ‘move on’ but having eaten at hundreds of backstreet restaurants in Italy and many ‘Italian’ restaurants in England, I have to call a spade a spade…. Garlic bread was from the microwave and the spaghetti bollognese was tasteless and slop like a Heinze tinned meal… Utterly aweful, false platitudes of a shot of lemoncello are as transparent as they are ‘standard’ in any half decent Italian…. you still charged me the full bill plus a service charge… Please just do better in future… this really is unacceptable! As a northerner, u stop eating when the plate is empty… that’s just how it is…. Leaving the bowl over half full says it all….

Io e mio marito abbiamo cenato due volte in questo ristorante, la prima sera che eravamo a Londra e poi anche una seconda poiché il locale che vi piaceva era chiuso. Comodo al nostro hotel, poiché proprio sottostante, dehor esterno e sala interna. Purtroppo inganna la scritta esterna che dice che si parla italiano ma non è affatto vero. Personale poco cortese, servizio lento. Pulito ma piccolo e troppo buio. Menù abbastanza ampio che sa poco di italiano nonostante venga spacciato per tale. Pizza veramente poco gradevole, buona la caprese, insalata mista talmente piccola che è ridicola , buono il gelato. Prezzi troppo cari per la qualità e la quantità offerta. Non viene accettata la carta prepagata, il bancomat fortunatamente sì. Sinceramente non lo consiglio e non tornerei più.

Siamo stati qui quasi per caso, dovevamo scegliere un posto safe dove mangiare al volo e non avevamo prenotato nulla. Ci accoglie un cameriere (non solo non italiano - che di per sé non sarebbe un problema - ma che palesemente non aveva idea di che cosa proponesse il menù né la differenza tra una pizza e una pasta) che ci fa sedere in un tavolo davanti al bancone da cui ha preso i bicchieri (che dal colore non sembravano pulitissimi). Prendiamo delle pizze e un piatto di pasta, le prime escono NON cotte con un sugo all’aglio e un prosciutto insapore sopra (sembrava di mangiare una suola di una scarpa di gomma); il piatto di pasta invece era rigorosamente scotto con un sugo (anche questo all’aglio) che definire osceno è un eufemismo. Finito di mangiare non abbiamo preso né dolci né caffé (che comunque nessuno ci aveva proposto) perché siamo dovuti fuggire per il fetore di aglio che pervadeva la stanza. A completare questa orrenda cena il conto, a dir poco salato. Non torneremo mai più. Ps. DI ITALIANO NON HA NULLA

Esto fue recomendado por el Hilton Double Tree donde nos alojamos. Lo único bueno aquí fue la ensalada. Me dieron el aperitivo de camarones y aguacate Nunca he visto camarones tan pequeños e insípidos. Los crepes con ricotta y espinacas se cubrieron con una salsa de lectura y apenas había nada allí. Muy poca ricota y apenas espinacas. El vino tinto era plano y el servidor no pudo responder las preguntas básicas sobre los ingredientes. No comí sino un mordisco de ambos platos y me los quité sin preguntar cómo algo andaba mal. Mi amigo consiguió langostinos en espagueti, estaba muy grasiento con 4 langostinos en la cáscara, de frente. Una vez que sacaste la carne de la cola, no había nada que comer. No puedo creer que el hotel sugirió este lugar. Bajamos 65 libras para la cena y terminamos yendo a otro restaurante para cenar. Fue una de las peores cenas que he tenido. Comimos en el restaurante turco de la calle y fue maravilloso.

Nice cosy restaurant, bit bright. Starter of gamberoni and garlic bread was lovely. Main courses of sea bass and veal valdostana were OK. Sea bass was supposed to be charcoal grilled I thought it had been fried. Veal dish not breaded came with a tomato sauce which wasn't that good and chopped pieces of ham! The young waiter had a cold and was continously sniffing. At one stage a big snot came out of his nose about 10mm long which was sniffed back up... Not a pleasant experience. Oh and one of the Desserts we had chosen wasn't available, so we shared. Oh and be careful the add a 12.5% service charge.. £83 for a mediocre meal, incl £23 drinks.

Out of our 9 days here in London, this was absolutely the worst service. They were completely understaffed for one of the busiest Fridays of the holiday season. It took an hour to get any food at all even though we ordered garlic bread which normally comes out soon. We sat with empty plates and even though the servers walked by, they neither cleared or asked if we needed anything. We had to ask for the bill and once we had it, sat and waited and waited until we took it up to the counter to be paid. The food was mediocre. We were never asked if we wanted dessert or after dinner drinks. We had been to Denise’s prior to this visit and it was much better. What a disappointment!

This restaurant used to be Denise's with an emphasis on French and Mediterranean food. I used to patronize it, not because it was especially noteworthy but because it was an alternative to the preponderance of Italian restaurants in Bloomsbury. I finally gave up on it because the service had become slow, indifferent and bordering on rudeness.

Thankfully, the ambiance has remained pretty much unchanged and the menu, while updated to focus more on Italian cuisine and less on the French/Continental that Denise had featured, offered many tasty options! I'll definitely return!!

Pre-booked for party of six, welcome somewhere between underwhelming to non existent and had to approach unsmiling waitress to discover location of table, seemed odd as restaurant only had few patrons. Although time was not an issue for us it was a long wait before the server came to take our order but as we had not all made our choices, we ordered wine and water which was served fairly promptly. After a very long delay our orders were taken. One of our party ordered a vegetarian pizza and made it clear to the server that there must be no dairy products in the recipe, it was served with a cheese base, fortunately none was consumed and eventually the correct pizza was served. Note: if you have any allergies be very wary of visiting this establishment. The pasta dishes served were small in size and at best average quality with the lasagne served in an oven dish with the inside edges black with burnt food, however the diner stated it tasted a bit better than it looked. One of the chef's recommended dishes was Frito Misto, well, if you are happy to use a hammer and chisel to get through the batter on the squid, don't mind small portions and frozen chips, then go for it! The entire experience was most disappointing and needless to say we chose to forgo desserts or coffee.

Bij het uitschenken had ik gezien dat de bazin gemerkt had dat er zwarte korreltjes in de frisdrank zaten. Toch werd het ons zo geserveerd. Dat getuigt van een gebrek aan beroepstrots. Het deeg van de pizza was niet lekker en het geheel was erg droog en proefde naar goedkope ingrediënten. De lasagne was walgelijk! Hij was groen, bevatte in plaats van kaassaus een flinterdun laagje kaas en er zat bijna geen tomatensaus in. Op de koop toe was het zuur. Kortom: mijd dit restaurant!

Marque el número en su sitio web y se confirmó como Denise's. Reservamos para dos. En el día no pude encontrarlo. ¡No es de extrañar! Fue reemplazado por el restaurante italiano Sophies. Absolutamente ninguna señalización relacionada con la de Denise. El menú era comida italiana, pero confusamente a nombre de Denise, al igual que la factura. Todo muy confuso. De todos modos la comida estuvo muy sabrosa y agradable. Red eléctrica alrededor de Lstg 12 a Lstg 18. El vino comenzó ligeramente por encima de Lstg 20. Decoración agradable sin música intrusiva. Los caballeros loos decididamente necesitaron reparaciones (dos puestos sellados y etiquetados como "fuera de servicio"). No es para lo que vine (cocina francesa) pero en realidad es bastante agradable. El restaurante necesita ordenar su identidad mal. Lamentablemente, se inclinó por la asquerosa práctica de asumir una propina del 12% en la factura. ¡Deja esa decisión al comensal! Volvería si quisiera cocina italiana.

First visit to this restaurant although I had seen it many times from the bus. We went after a lecture and a drink at the British Museum, for which it is convenient.

The restaurant is well located, easy to find, and is in a very touristy area. Maybe that's why they do not have the slightest problem in having a good service, because the food, although very time consuming, 40 minutes, is good!

Trovandomi in Southampton Row decido di fermarmi per cena in questo ristorante francese attratta dal menu esposto in strada. Mangio “Chicken Chasseur”, pollo alla salsa di pomodoro, bacon e funghi, servito con asparagi e carote lessate. Accompagno il mio piatto con patate cotte e un buon bicchiere di Merlot. Concludo con torta di mele guarnita con caramello, buona. Pollo insipido e “affogato “ nella salsa di pomodoro.. mi aspettavo onestamente di più!!! Location carina.

This simple little restaurant offered a lot more than appeared on first glance. I asked for a green salad without any dressing. This was very tasty and included tender stem broccoli and olives. The fillet steak I had was also without any sauce and I must say it was the tastiest steak I have had in a long time, very tender too. My husband had prawn and avocado to start and Chicken grand mare which he said was delicious. Drinks were a little expensive but the meals were reasonably priced, especially for the quality. Friendly service, one waitress did have trouble understanding what we wanted, but easily sorted when she asked her colleague for assistance.

Il manque surtout une réelle identité à ce restaurant. On trouve à la carte un très grand nombre de plats européens ( pas seulement français ).

Entré en el restaurante para ser recibida por una señorita, antes de pedir una mesa para dos. Les pregunté si atendían sin gluten, ella no entendió e inicialmente dijo que no, pero traté de reformularlo y luego obtuve que sí.

Welcoming small French restaurant within walking distance of the many hotels in the Southampton Row area. Bistro style a cut above the usual chains found all over London.It was fairly quite on a mid week night but the menu had a good choice and the food was cooked to order. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

This restaurant is situated a few minutes from the British Museum. The menu is varied and I enjoyed both fish and meat meals. Both meals were excellent. Their crepes are lovely for dessert. The portions are just about right for the average adult. I would gladly recommend this restaurant to any visitor to London.

Un típico pequeño restaurante francés sin lujos con solo la comida hablando. La comida era rústica y muy sabrosa. Sí, podríamos haber comido en más restaurantes franceses populares, pero nos alegramos de haber encontrado este pequeño oasis. Altamente recomendado.

I have not been here since August and it was nice to just walk in and be welcomed with a smile from the owner. Lovely food, simple but nice. This restaurant is not going to impress if you are looking for all the posh edges, it just produces a nice menu, great food and is an enjoyable experience. Always a nice price too.

Rien de Français dans ce restau hors mis le nom des plats. Malgré les pancartes extérieur assurant un service en Français ou en anglais sans soucis. Nous n'avons eu que de l'anglais par le patron et les serveurs malgré notre difficulté à nous. Faire comprendre. En anglais.

Improved since last visit, approx 18 months ago when it was a bit tired and lacking but it has picked up the game with new owners and is much improved.service could still be improved on but generally quite good and food was much better. Enjoyable experience at a mid range price. No complaints. Thank you!

Hands down my favourite spot in London, gutted its closed now! Would always chose the kitchen bar seat so you can watch the chefs at work, get the odd taster direct from the kitchen. Great food, gre
