Great place for a quiet lunch break. Come here every week at least once and it is the highlight of my lunchbreaks. Anna and the team make sure all is sorted quickly and to the highest standard. Many thanks

Excellent evening meal here on Saturday. We had brushcetta, pizza and Italian sausage and all were great. The waitress was super and made a special Campari spritz for me which was delicious. All the staff and chef said hello and it felt very personal experience. Lovely interior, intimate and tasteful. My Italian friend said it was best Italian meal in London they have had for ages.

A wonderful discovery. Fantastic service, in a really interesting, intimate and quirky building and most importantly, fantastic food. I couldn't find fault with anything, the food was delicious. I saw a review that described the food as homely... I think it's rather better than that. If you go, please leave room for desert, they are not to be missed, and if you like limoncello, then you must try their meloncello - it was a revelation and possibly the nicest thing I've tasted in a long time. I will certainly be returning!

Friendly staff with a nice atmosphere but not the restaurant we had been looking for (it was showing as being part of the same building)...? Very nice gnocchi and good cook on the pork belly but there wasn't much flavour in the latter and I had to add salt. The tiramisu was good, lots of coffee flavour, but a tiny portion. Also, I saw a table next to us get bruschetta? That wasn't on the menu we got, which only had a few items? I don't understand why we didn't receive the full menu. The food was good but a little overpriced for what it was. I wouldn't return.

I usually don't leave reviews on restaurant because I'm not an expert. But let me tell you: even though I'm quite tired after work this place need few minutes of my time. I had lunch with my business partner and we are both from Italy - so as you can imagine we have always high expectations in approaching new cuisines. We had pasta, gnocchi and risotto, and we were immediately impressed by the quality of both dishes. Also the lady serving us was super friendly and we had a full meal in just 45 minutes. I'll definitely come back.

Came here with my girlfriend, it’s a small family run place. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. Slow service owing to the owners friends being near us and the waitress interested in chatting to them rather than taking our order. The chefs burnt something so extreme they smoked the place out and irritated everyone’s eyes, having to understandably open a window which gushed cold air in, whilst the owner was drunk and shouting and snapping fingers at the chefs. It made a terrible atmosphere and ambience. Bruschetta was incredibly nice, but the time between starter and main was far too long, the pizza was nice but nothing special and far too much crust to topping, but my girlfriend said the gnocchi was very nice. They served the food and my girlfriend couldn’t eat it for a while because her eyes were irritated from the chefs burning food. The food did not justify the high prices & limited menu options. Would I come back? Sadly not, I was glad to have left and it shows just because it’s small and family owned doesn’t mean it’s going to be a quality experience. I would recommend going elsewhere. Shame!

The restaurant has a very intimate feel, you can see Chef Marco going to the tables, greeting them, explaining the dishes himself. The dishes feel very homely and cosy, very tasty Italian comfort food. The wine selection while not vast, covers the basics very well. Different types of wines are represented and they are brilliant and reasonably priced. The desserts are sublime, the pistachio tiramisu is 10/10, and so was the normal tiramisu. We were served melon limoncello on the house at the end of our meal. Then, Chef Marco gave us a warm thanks for coming to his place. Would recommend this to everyone looking for a good Italian place in the city area. The Italian essentials of pizza, pasta and tiramisu are certainly well represented here and are made with love and passion.

If you would ask me about one thing that is associated with London, I would answer this place and their owners who rebuilt my believe in humanity. When my wife’s phone with all the photos from the trip, and most importantly, the video of my proposal to her got stolen, we were desperate. The owners came up to us and offered their help and, moreover, Invited us to this wonderful place to change the atmosphere and have a break from the drama. After figuring out what exactly happened with us, and why my girl is so upset they offered me to do the proposal again on their backyard and recorded so we could have memories for life.

We had a reservation for Christmas Day, since it appeared open on their website. Anyone can make a mistake, of course... if it weren't for the fact that after showing up at the place (it was raining) none of the 5 people who were there got up from the table to tell us that it was closed. A real shame and lack of education and empathy with a customer.

What a fantastic find this was and for anyone looking for a unique and authentic Italian in the area I cannot recommend highly enough. It’s small yet surprisingly spacious inside and nice that they haven’t crammed in as many tables as possible - a reservation is certainly recommended. The decor is basic but gives a genuine Italian feel and from the moment we entered the friendly service was exceptional throughout. The menu isn’t huge, but what they do serve is all presented really well and truly delicious. The smoked mackerel starter was brilliant, presented beautifully and a good size. We asked for a portion of the potato gnocchi main dish as a second starter which didn’t seem to be a problem, but unfortunately we did get charged the full main price at the end. However it was exceptional and perhaps the nicest gnocchi I’ve had. Both the salsiccia pizza and calzone kept up the high standard and were cooked perfectly. A cheesecake and tiramisu rounded things off, again with no complains at all. Service time throughout was spot on, the atmosphere lovely and I cannot wait to return.

It's literally just over the road from the Barbican where we live, but sadly it's a real letdown.. On the plus side, it was cozy and quiet, apart from electric fan heaters dotted around the place; but regrettably, the food was really poor, for example, two of the three pizzas were badly burnt underneath; in addition to this the chargrilled aubergine and peppers on the two vegetarian pizza's we ordered were mushy and had no texture nor taste to them, they appeared to have been cooked some days ago, which was also concerning, when we mentioned this to their staff they were apologetic but didn't offer to do anything about it. What a pity as we'd have added this to our list of local restaurants to frequent.

Marco's place, which is local for us, was ideal for my birthday dinner with friends and family. We had the lovely terrace / garden out the back to ourselves (the neighbourhood's best kept dining secret) This place is a low key foodie heaven, so the meals and wine were, as ever, delicious. The always attentive, friendly and welcoming Stafano and his team looked after us as if we were in our own home. It's a genuinely family-friendly restaurant too - they even had colour pencils and drawing paper ready for our kids when we arrived. Highly recommend this place, both for low key dinners, and for small events and celebrations for up to 15 to 20 people.

My stag do evening meal was ruined by the surliest of waitresses who couldn't muster a smile or eye contact the entire meal, they clearly didn't want to be there and had 0 training in engaging customers in a friendly supportive way. I ordered 2 plates of brushetta and olives while we were choosing mains. The bruschetta arrived , but when the olives didn't I asked where they were and she snapped back that I hadn't ordered any... despite the 7 witnesses agreeing a did. Just an example of what happened all night, even splitting the bill became a drama as she couldn't split the bill by 7, but could for 6?? Btw, the food was mediocre, brought down by the staff. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday night, and now we know why. This place feels like its on life support , not sure it will last with major surgery

I was lying despite everyone at the Table remembering they were ordered , more glum waitress and glum pizza was to follow... we couldn't wait to pay and leave... where we were told it was "impossible" to divide a bill by 7, it had to be 6?

I absolutely love this place. We were warmly greeted by the waitress Lindsey who made us feel so at home. The menu with pizza and à la carte specials was mouth watering. I thought I was going to have pizza, but I ended up having the beautiful cod with broccoli, olives and tomatoes - great flavours. I liked the fact that the chef kept coming to check that we were happy with the food. The decor with the marble tables and wooden floors reminds me of a restaurant in the Mediterranean. To the extreme happiness of my dining partner, they serve champagne by the glass! She is not a Prosecco drinker! I had the Primitivo which was exceptional. Towards the end of the meal we were lucky enough to meet with the owner and his partner, and they were absolutely charming. I had no idea there was a dining area in the back garden and we will definitely be using that in the summer. Well done guys.

We've booked a table at 6pm, we've made an order at 6.10 pm (pasta and risotto) and we've got our food at 7.25 pm after the scandal as we were late for the theatre. When we came to the place only 1 table was occupied and people there were already served. Then more people came and occupied 2 more tables. Good for them, they ordered pizzas because the chef desided that it's easier to make and there is no point following the order people came and made orders. It was literally her explanation when I asked at 7. 10 pm about status of our order (ALL other tables were already served!!) . Miraculously, when we desided to leave without a payment, she prepared our food within 10 minutes. I should not mention the quantity of pasta and risotto at the end as we were to upset and hangry at the end.

Vlad is a very professional waiter always making sure every customer is happy. Very positive and professional attitude. The chef Bibiana is better than most chefs in the Italian restaurants in Rome and Milan. Extremely talented chef and all food is homemade.

Not in the most lively London area, but I was treated here to an unforgettable crab meat linguini and a dessert on par. Their personal service always needs to be highlighted and more especially if it’s aligned with a great culinary experience.

Incredibly friendly staff, Gheorghe was our waiter and he was very attentive and friendly. We were a party of 13 and he was very quick in taking all the orders, giving recommendations. The food was delicious, tho highlight was the seafood risotto and the cheesecake. Will definitely go back very soon for another wonderful dinner!

This restaurant is an excellent venue with a varied and traditional menu. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional. The selection of pizza was delicious and cooked in wood ovens in the centre of the restaurant. The pasta dishes were innovative and seasonal, lots of truffle, speck and funghi as befits the time of year. In general the food was reasonably priced as was the wine. Would recommend and would definitely return

We loved the unique menu, the food, the atmosphere and the service. We only found this gem on the recommendation of locals. We enjoyed our visit from the moment we walked in. Cosy, welcoming and such an interesting space feeling like you are dining in the heart of a delicious Italian deli.

Paolo's Pizzeria Mama Mia is exactly what you want when you need a proper Italian pie, a beer, and North London Italian hospitality. The only thing that would make it a 6/5 would be a signed poster of Calafiori on the wall, but that is in his hands, not Paolo's. I'm sure it won't be long 🇮🇹

Fantastic food, we got the sausage tagliatelle, margarita pizza and the lasagne, and it was perfect. Lasagne one of the best I've had 😍
