Rossodisera in Camden

They managed to squeeze us in just before it got really busy. Great service and the food was excellent. Very authentic Italian, carbonara was fantastic, clearly made with great quality ingredients including Guanciale. 2 courses for 25 is very reasonable too.

The food was great, the wine even better but Viktoria was the one that made our night. Super friendly service, despite being alone she found the time to chat with us and make the atmosphere even warmer. Thank you!! Will be back!!

Encontramos esta joyita por accidente mientras caminábamos hacia Covent Gardens. Restaurante italiano muy auténtico y ligeramente rústico, completamente diferente a la multitud de pizzas + pastas trattorias que surgen por todo Londres. Un lugar para quedarse por buena comida casera. Lo tomamos como una buena señal cuando vemos cualquier restaurante con mucha gente de esa región en Rossodisera y estaba lleno de italianos felices cuando estuvimos allí. Me encantó el lugar y volveré.

Gran comida, gran servicio. Excelente vino regional de le Marche. Los platos son muy auténticos. El anfitrión era muy servicial con la explicación del menú.

Amazing food, typical from le Marche region in Italy, delicious! Service is good. Highly Recommended

Great place great food and great price. Get there before 7pm for their set menu. Well worth it.

I visited again with my longtime mentor for the first time before the coronavirus, and it was a Friday night, but I was lucky enough to get in. It was delicious! I forgot to take a photo. 5 stars after a long time. I'm not a regular customer, but it's been a long time since I last visited and I was really happy to have a delicious meal.The service was also great!I also noticed that there were a lot of families, probably Italian or Italian-British families coming here with their kids to enjoy real Italian food, so it's a real Italian restaurant. The wine list is also great. This time I would like to visit again with my daughters, who are not Italian, but Japanese-British, to show off their delicious pasta. It was a treat.

What a find. Lovely cosy restaurant serving delicious real Italian food.

Far better Italian restaurants around. Carbonara and lasagne were mediocre. These reviews are overhyped as most google reviews in London are.

As an Italian, this is one of my few go-to places and it never disappoints.

Superb! The quintessential, authentic taste of Italy! When you do the simple things well, it speaks volumes. The food was delicious and bursting with flavour, and attention to detail was spot on. Will certainly go back, and recommend you to do the same.

Good Italian food in a friendly place and with excellent service and very fair place!!

Rudi was excellent waiter! Thank you for a wonderful Italian experience from your Eritrean clientele ❤️ pomodoro was delicious!

La comida que conseguimos era sabrosa, pero demasiado caro! No nos molestamos con el vino, simplemente tuvimos 2 primi, 1 botella de agua alrededor de 500 ml y 2 cafés y gastamos casi £ 50 , tal estafa ya que las porciones son tan pequeñas que dejamos muy hambrientos que tuvimos que comer cuando llegamos a casa!

I went with my family because we were willing to pay a premium for a great culinary experience. However, the final impression was underwhelming. While the food is decent, it doesn’t stand out enough to justify the high prices. The service is mediocre, and the wine, though average in quality, is priced as if it were a grand reserve. I’ve had much better Italian food at a fraction of the cost.

Small but welcoming environment, generously authentic cuisine, excellent service too

Conocí a una amiga para almorzar - esta era su reserva de una búsqueda en Google. Ambos tuvimos los dos - menú de precio fijo más bebidas. Ambos comimos espaguetis, luego ella comió tiramisú y yo el “salami” de chocolate. La comida y el servicio eran excelentes, y nos permitieron permanecer en nuestra mesa charlando sobre café durante mucho más tiempo de lo que deberíamos haber sido. Perfectamente situado entre Tottenham Court Road y Covent Garden, este es un lugar ideal para comer antes o después del teatro, con auténtica comida italiana y una auténtica bienvenida italiana. Mejor reservar - no hay muchas mesas!

Portions were a little small but the meal was excellent

Very good cuisine, don't hesitate I ate my best carbonara Dessert, exceptional

Italian place that I absolutely recommend and recommend! Super welcoming, warm and particular location... delicious appetizers and focaccias! But the first ones aren't bad either! The gnocchi with mushrooms are wonderful 😍😍 Everything was delicious and the staff very friendly Advise!!

Food was quite good but the price was too high for what we ate

Esta es mi cuarta vez de ir y la comida sigue siendo deliciosa a excepción de mis hermanas minestrone. Evitar. Ni una sola verdura. Parecía agua de vajilla y sabía a sopa como una taza débil. Muy decepcionante. Ambiente bueno. Mi comida era excelente.

I wanted to share my feedback about this restaurant I visited. When I arrived and mentioned my reservation, they didn’t even bother checking their system. After giving my name, they claimed there was no reservation under it. I had to show them my confirmation email before they finally acknowledged it and directed me downstairs. However, the area they took me to was unpleasant—dull, smelly, and unwelcoming. On top of that, the staff wasn’t friendly at all, which made me feel uncomfortable. This is why I decided to leave. I thought it was important to share this experience.

This was our last meal in London after a week and possibly our best. Everything was delicious and filling and beautiful. Make a reservation cuz the space is tight and you will be standing outside at the window watching others chow down. 😉

This is a very authentic Italian restaurant. The real meals had here tasted as real as they did when I visited Italy so this is not one of those overly-Britishwashed Italian restaurants. Customer service was exceptional despite not pre-booking. I'll recommend you pre-book though as it gets packed really quick. Great value for money too as I can't remember when I last spent that less in an authentic restaurant that's that Central. A massive thank you to the classic chef and the splendid staff. 🙏🏾 Highly Recommend 👌🏾

Havde fundet restauranten og bestilt bord på forhånd. Vi bord i kælderen som var så hyggelig i autentisk italiensk stil.

It was one of my favorite restaurants in London till last night. The owner managed to create a very bad atmosphere in the restaurant and managed to have a fight with 2 clients whilst I was dining. Then he was very dismissive with me too. I had the impression that he was bothered to serve his clients and to be there. It is with regrets that I have decided not to go there anymore in the future. I was a regular client for the past 10 years

Era uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en Londres hasta anoche. El dueño logró crear un ambiente muy malo en el restaurante y logró tener una pelea con 2 clientes mientras yo cenaba. Entonces también fue muy desdeñoso conmigo. Tenía la impresión de que se molestaba en servir a sus clientes y estar allí. Con pesar he decidido no ir más allá en el futuro. Fui un cliente regular durante los últimos 10 años

Great food, superb service & great atmosphere. The set menu is good value, albeit the wine is expensive. That said, I'd definitely recommend going here.

I highly recommend. They also have gluten free rummo pasta with a supplement. Satisfied.

Very nice restaurant, relaxing atmosphere with good traditional Italian food & wine on the menu.

Unfortunately, we were really disappointed by the food at this restaurant, especially considering the prices. The gnocchi dish was far too salty, while the lasagna was totally flat and bland. This was the worst Italian meal I had eaten at a restaurant of this level. Maybe we were just unlucky with what we ordered, since there are so many positive reviews. The service was also lacking and felt frantic and unwelcoming. The only positive for us was the cosy atmosphere.

Outstanding dining experience in this tiny and totally authentic restaurant serving specialities of the Le Marche region of Italy.

Lovely Italian place, the pasta serving size is smaller than usual, so the 2/3 course set menu is highly recommended (the antipasto is quite generous).

This small, independently owned restaurant stands out as a spectacular dining spots in Covent Garden. We have dined there several times on our trips to London and will be dining there again on our next trip. Plan for a couple of hours so that you can enjoy the appetizers, mains and deserts, all of which are spectacular. Topped of with a Limoncello, it is a perfect night.

We were sat downstairs which is great when you are a big group and you can see the wines on offer. The staff are great and the traditional regional fayre is a pleasant change from the ubiquitous pizza and pasta restaurants that are everywhere. I had mussels which had an extra chilli “zing” and the pasta. Definitely worth a visit if in Covent Garden

Esperienza buonissima ( per il cibo , soprattutto per i primi eccezionali, fettuccine al ragù di coniglio insuperabile) e confortevole per il prezzo ( assolutamente in linea con quello che mangi) e la cordialità e simpatia del personale. Sicuramente ci torneremo alla prossima visita di Londra. Stefano

They offer a special set menu which finishes at 7 pm. When we arrived at 745 pm on a Tuesday it was empty, however it filled up. Friendly, efficient and helpful service. Mussels were good, as was the lamb chop but I was disappointed with the rabbit (compressed slices of rabbit)

A bit of our lands in this gloomy London... Thank you

I have never felt so humiliated in my life. I visited the restaurant with my family, and upon entering, one of the staff members approached us in an extremely hostile manner, almost shouting, and kicked us out, claiming that the place was closed. This happened without any visible signage or notice about the closure. If it was indeed closed, it could have been communicated in a respectful way. Instead, the employee disrespected me and my family, throwing us out in the rudest and most inconsiderate manner possible.

We had a very good time with fantastic food at the Rossodisera. The owner made space for us, even though he was booked out for the night. Very nice, thank you again! The recommendations were great, and everything from ambiente, to food and drinks was authentic Italian. We recommend this place anytime!

Michael was so amazing he accommodated our party we did not have a reservation. The food was OUTSTANDING. Already told friends who live and are visiting they must go. Buon Appetito 🥂

Very good authentic Italian cuisine.

As people from the Marche we couldn't try the Marche restaurant in London.... Reading the names of producers in our area seemed almost strange... Excellent platter, good carbonara, very Italian tiramisu.... Perfect service, and it's always pleasant to exchange a few words in Italian.

Fantastic date night at Rossodisera with my partner. Miguel really took care of us, helping us pick the best food on the menu and paired it with some amazing wine. The food was delicious and their passion for Italian food from Le Marche really shone through. Bart never let our glasses go empty with limoncello too! 10/10, we are coming back.

Just had the most unforgettable meal at this incredible Italian restaurant! From the first bite to the last, everything was perfection. The gnocchi was like little pillows of heaven, melt-in-your-mouth delicious with just the right balance of flavors. The lamb was cooked to absolute perfection - tender, juicy, and bursting with rich, savory goodness. And don't even get me started on the tagliatelle! Fresh, silky pasta coated in the most divine sauce that made me want to lick the plate clean. On top of that, the staff was absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, and made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. This place is a hidden gem, a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, mouthwatering Italian food in London. Bellissimo! 😍

great food, lovely friendly atmosphere, I was my father and hes very picky with italian food as hes italian and he loved everything. The Waitresses from Croatia was so attentive and answered all the enquiries me and my father asked. will definitely be back.

Found this gem in covent garden during a business trip and decided to give it a go. Good was amazing and the restaurant felt very warm and pleasant. Just amazing.

I experienced an extremely muted welcome, as did the couple entering just before me - to the extent we joked about the negative vibes between our tables. Despite being open, most of the menu was ‘off’ including bizarrely the non-cooked items such as cheese and charcuterie, which is what I overheard many of the tables, including my own, preferring to order at 10pm. I feel if you are open - you are open - or you are closed. This hybrid option of being open with a tiny menu and ‘one course’ just infuriates your potential customers, and they won’t return. Maybe this is fine though, given the throughput because of the transient location.

Marche cuisine, there's no need to add anything else. The fixed menu in the lunch period until 7.00 pm is particularly convenient and competitive compared to the myriad of places in the area.

Excellent Marche restaurant in the center of London, excellent products that describe the Marche from north to south. Since I am also from the Marche region, I found quality and a taste of home, as if I were at my grandmother's house. Bruschetta with very sweet tomatoes and sausage with ancient aromas. Cozy and warm atmosphere. Excellent service. Igor the owner recommended us an excellent red wine from the Marche region, given the wide range of choice from the cellar. First superlatives. Excellent value for money.

Simply wonderful! A small corner of my land! Top staff!

Great authentic Italian food a hidden gem. We will be back

Visited on a Saturday evening on a recommendation from a friend. The food was excellent, and the staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed a relaxed dinner after a busy day. I highly recommend it and will visit again as the menu is so tempting. I had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the staff.

Excellent. Good, authentic Italian cooking. Super tasty. Kind and friendly service. Highly recommended🌺👏👏🌻

Wow! What a fantastic hidden gem - just off Shaftsbury Avenue ( Theatre district ) of London. At £20 for two courses before 7pm, it’s amazing value for money. The Bruchetta starter was delicious and very tasty, followed by the stunning taste sensation of the Spaghetti Carbonara 🤩 wonderful warm service and a lovely cosy interior- Highly recommended by me 💋

Over priced food and very small portions. Food was just edible. £12 for a glass of bad house wine was ridiculous. There didn’t seem to be a single Italian member of staff in the restaurant. My husband asked if they had any ice cream for dessert. We were told that this region of Italy doesn’t eat ice cream. There was also no lemon cello. I have given a 1 as the staff were friendly.

Just excellent, delicious food, truly Italian. A wide selection of wines and a great Tiramisu. Plus friendly staff, thank you!

After a very long day of sightseeing we were exhausted and happened on this WONDERFUL restaurant! We had spaghetti and it was delicious! The owner was so kind as we were late meeting other family members and needed our meal to go. Unfortunately we’re leaving tomorrow or I’d be back for other meals! This restaurant is on my list for my next trip to London. I will definitely be back!!

Best Italian restaurant and best service. It’s not cheap But it's worth it!

We stumbled across this place by chance . We wanted an authentic Italian meal and they certainly delivered . We had the set meal courses which were of exceptional standard you couldn’t go wrong , very regional dishes on menu too . Staff were lovely and the wines were of a high standard . I’d definitely go back .

Loved loved loved the mussels!! Best mussels I have had in decades! Owner is friendly and receptive. Going back for more during my stay in London

The staff was professional, polite and friendly . The food was tasty. Compliments to chefs.

I could not imagine writing a review for an Italian restaurant in Covent Garden but this one is really special. Super authentic food from Le Marche and great wines from the region as well. Highly recommend whether you are a visitor or a local. Edit: On one of my repeat visits one of the staff handed a box of their freshly made pasta dishes to a homeless person passing by. They sprinkled the pasta with parmesan and pepper before closing the box. It takes a special kind of person to do this and it's no wonder the food is as good as it is. Bravo.

This was a lovely visit. It felt very authentic which reflected the menu. The rabbit pasta was delicious. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is the portion sizes. The portion size of the pasta was small and I usually don't need a big portion of food. I would recommend going for the set menu as although there's less choice, you get more value for money.

Cozy central, good food, good wine... I definitely recommend it!

This is a great spot in a busy part of town, with a great value option of pre-theatre menu (£20 for 2 or £25 for 3 courses) as well as a vast selection on the a la carte menu. The carbonara was yolky and creamy, and I loved their salame di cioccolato. Service can be a bit slow and chaotic at times but it wasn't a huge issue in my experience. The place is small so tables can feel a bit crammed and space a bit limited, but again not a major issue all in all.

Small but good food. Thank you.

My family and I LOVE this authentic slice of Italy. Incredible quality ingredients and very warm, inviting staff. We have returned twice and the food is very consistent. Will be back again! (It can be busy as it's a small restaurant so best to have a reservation)

We went here for lunch before watching a show at the Gillian Lynne theatre. The food was absolutely wonderful, authentic Italian ingredients, everything was so fresh, tasty Italian drinks. The owner/waiter was kind, courteous and knowledgeable. We had the 2-courses for £20; starters: mussels and tomato brushetta, mains: carbonara and salami/cheese platter. It was so tasty, I wanted to eat it all again straight afterwards. We will definitely return.

The food and service is very marchesian, ie, the food is excellent, the service is a tad brusque. The food quality was nice, but the portions are a bit small, from my perspective. Also, we sat somewhere very dusty, and I had a horrible coughing fit. It was unpleasant. Would I go again? Maybe, but I won’t be back unless I’m craving marchesian food

“Red by Night”. Great little authentic Italian restaurant. Kids loved the food. Vegetarian menu available. Chef is happy to spice it up. All the best.

The cheese and salami platter are very nice. Beautiful traditional Italian restaurant Unfortunately lasagna was a disappointment Too much tomato sauce and microwaved 😢 we had a good wine thanks to our waiter 🙏🏻 I would come here for a drink and a fast bite. Not for main course

This restaurant is truly amazing. One of the best Italian restaurants in London. The food is simple but tasty, just how you would expect it if you were in Italy.

It's so hard to enjoy a good food when the service is very poor. Last week we visited the place and we were "welcomed" by the male member of their staff. From the beginning we informed him about our intolerance to gluten and asked for a gluten free menu, his response was with a very ironic voice: " we don't have gluten free menu we have gluten free pasta..." during the conversation he said with a stupid smile that being gluten free is a trend now... it in our case it's not a trend, we don't have a choice and it affects our health... Despite the pasta I ordered wasn't bad I did not enjoy it as I didn't feel welcome there and the staff made the whole experience a nightmare. I ate the pasta as quickly as I could and we left. The girl taking the payment wasn't the nicest either ... I will not come back there as they don't take their customers seriously. I also heard how the male member of the staff treated other customers and it was absolutely shocking.

It was just great👍 You could really believe you had eaten in Italy. Absolute recommendation.

Excellent food, family atmosphere and professional and super friendly service. Advised

Nice place with an Italian atmosphere. Too bad the manager's low "empathy".

So we went to this restaurant with 2 friends, the food was delicious however the service was horrible. There was an older waiter who was very rude and made unacceptable comments.We asked for gluten free menu and he arrogantly said that they only have GF pasta and he commented ‘I know this is a trend now’ (my friend and me are not GF for our own choice but for health reasons snd we are diagnosed by doctors), after we witnessed while we were there that the same waiter was rude to other customers too so unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend the place even though the food was good.

Lovely people, very accommodating.

Cozy restaurant with a good selection of dishes from Le Marche. The set menu gives you options to try different dishes at a decent price. Cedrata drink tasted good and I’m happy to have tried it. The Urbino was also very tasty and ingredients tasted fresh. We were seated at the ground floor and it was spacious enough. The service was nice and the manager was very helpful.

As soon as we entered we were greeted by a very Italian atmosphere and by the very kind owner. the menu is very varied, suitable for everyone. the dishes arrived quickly and without problems. the dishes are delicious and comply with Italian recipes. what can I say, if you happen to be in this area you can't miss it.

Wonderful food, reasonably priced and very welcoming staff - highly!

Rossodisera at Covent Garden was pleasant. The bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar was a tasty starter, complemented by flavorful olives and delicious bruschetta. The service was ok, the ambiance cozy, and the overall experience was nice.

All very good. I felt like I was in Italy, friendly and nice staff, typical dishes from the brands. I will definitely return ❤️

What a shame. This place could have so much potential. I’m going to start this by saying that I work in the hospitality industry. Me and my friend (both italian) decided to visit the restaurant as she is from the Region this restaurant promotes their food from. The food was okay-ish. We got the Salumi and Cheese tagliere which was good. But the bruschetta and the olives were pretty basic in taste with the olives being extremely dry. Definitely overpriced for what we got, but I might take in consideration that they use italian products and for that, I will overlook the prices. Usually when the food is not that great, it is compensated by good service, but that is not the case of this restaurant. Service was horrible to say the least. We didn’t have a server assigned to our table which made it hard to get any member of staff’s attention. And you would think that’s the worst part. The main server, a man, was utterly rude and condescending most of the time. My friend ask for a glass of white wine, we were mid dinner and we didn’t have the wine list on the table. Instead of offering the wine list the man pointed at a board behind me saying “Yeah, but which one cause I can get you any wine, even the most expensive”. Which, said with a laugh? I can get over it, but it was so condescending I couldn’t stand it already. Towards the end of end of the experience we asked for an espresso and limoncello. The espresso was basically dirty water so my friend didn’t drink it. Once we got the bill we asked for the espresso to be removed from the bill as she didn’t drink it and we noticed thay the glass of wine was charged £8 instead of £7.50 (as it was showed on the board he pointed at). The man approached our table with the wine list saying “well the price is £8 on the menu and the £7.50 is a mistake, but anyway”. As if that is my issue? You and your staff made a mistake, despite the £0.50 difference, why should I pay something extra that was not showed when I ordered? He kindly offered to remake the coffee which we agreed to, once the coffee came he also brought some sort of digestive quoting “well the wine it’s £8.00 but i took off the service charge so there you go, this is on the house”. Our issue was not the service or the price itself. We can afford service charge, we can afford £0.50, but the condescending tone and the lack of service was just not it. Plus making it look as if the wine price issue was our mistake, when he clearly pointed at the board with the wrong price. Overall, disappointing experience. People don’t go to dinner just for the food, but for the experience and that experience is provided by the servers. If you don’t enjoy hospitality, don’t work in hospitality!

Great service in an authentic Italian restaurant! Personalized and good food :)

Typical Covent Garden tourist trap. The food was decent but nothing like I had in Le Marche before. Service was efficient but not very friendly.

Discovered by chance and put in the diary for a dinner, a small but absolutely welcoming place. Wonderful flavors of visits to your grandparents, when you went to their house in the countryside as a child. Traditional cured meats and cheeses, aunt's dessert (delicious chocolate salami) and finally the Fanese moretta. Top

Belle découverte que ce petit restaurant italien ou je n'ai pas vu de pizza à la carte ! Ils font des formules entrée +plat+dessert à des tarifs tout à fait raisonnable. C'est très bon et frais. Une salle en sous sol également. Je recommande cet établissement pour son rapport qualité prix.

Thanks to the Chef for taking me back to my grandmother's house. Attentive and friendly staff, authentic and genuine ingredients and flavours. Well done. Long live Italy.

Ci sono ristoranti che spacciano di proporre la cucina italiana…. poco veritiera. Questo ristorante invece oltre ad essere Italiano DOC, gestito da Italiani ( Marchigiani veri) propone un menù marchigiano di tutto rispetto. Siamo andati a cena e oltre che sentirci come se stessimo a casa ( per l’accoglienza e la cordialità del personale e del titolare) abbiamo mangiato come se stessimo a casa. Tutto molto buono e fatto veramente da chi ama la cucina. Dagli antipasti crostini e fritture ( olive all’ascolana e cremini con il profumo del varnelli) ai primi ( ottimi ) e perfino ai dolci con il mitico salame di cioccolato. Se passate per Londra e volete mangiare bene, non potete non andare da ROSSODISERA. Ve lo consiglio vivamente

There is a gov law to provide toilet and water for everyone. As a delivery rider they let me use toilet for urgent when I was waiting there for food

We had a booking for 5 pax. We arrived. I go in. A grumpy looking man comes up the stairs and just looks at me. I said I have a booking. He said and goes down. Then we wait. Few minutes he motions us to follow him. We do. And then points to a table at the corner. Table was set up for 4. There were 5 of us. I noticed in corner of the table a coke bottle which did not belong to our group. After we were seated, no one made a contact. We waited for 20+ minutes. I then put up my hand , and the waiter looks up and says rather rudely , I will be with you in a minute. He was not doing anything. Finally when did he come over to take our order, he was arrogant and haughty. Told us that bruschetta was bread ( no one asked) we ordered wine and said there is only two bottles of that particular wine. This whole experience with the waiter dampened our entire experience. One of the pasta dish was good but the rest were just fine. I’d this restaurant a wide berth. Many others in town where customer are liked.

Really lovely little place! Had a great meal with 3 other people and truly enjoyed the friendly waitstaff! :)

The most amazingly italian marchigiano restaurant ever, even better than italian ones! Beautiful location, menu has a good variety and the best traditional dishes of Le Marche. Great service and food is unbelievable. I brought some friends of mine here for the umpteenth time and I will always come here to feel like home whenever I'll be in London. Eager to visit the new Hampstead restaurant!

5 of us was here for dinner last night. Table allocated was in the basement. There was only one waiter working there. Small space with a few tables. No acknowledgment from him. No greeting. I went upstairs to wait for our other friend who was late… waiter coldly asked “ where are you going? Toilet is downstairs!!!” We sat at the table and waited for 30 minutes without any sign from him until we had to ask for service. Finally he came by. We ordered our wine. He abruptly told us that he only had 2 bottles left. Strange as no one asked. His attitude was extremely condescending! As we were ordering the starters… he “told” us Bruschetta is bread! Again, no one asked. As if we needed to know…! Didn’t bother to check on us during the meal. As we left… he told us we left a bottle of Coca Cola on the ledge… guess what? It wasn’t us. It was there right from the start! The hand made pasta tasted good but staff was a let down. Perhaps he was the owner… if so, that would be even worst! Yes. We may be tourist yet somehow, this is not the way to treat customers! Your survival depends on your clientele! London has tons of other restaurants that will provide a better experience!

The food was average but the service was the WORST I have experienced not just in London, but in ANY restaurant in ANY city I have dined. Do not waste your time or money dining here. It is a small restaurant - 7 tables upstairs and maybe a few more downstairs - and typically that means service would be attentive, but unfortunately it was far from it. Somehow, the staff seemed to be in a perpetual state of overwhelm. We had a reservation and instead of being shown to our table, we were pointed toward our table by who I surprisingly later learned was the owner. Once seated we were ignored for 10 minutes. The server working upstairs walked by multiple times, failing to acknowledge us or make eye contact at each pass. She took the order of the 2 top next to us and eventually a buser or dishwasher emerged from the back to take our order. I am assuming he was not front of the house staff because he didn't introduce himself and we literally did not see him the rest of the evening after he took our order. Our starters and drinks arrived in a reasonable amount of time but it was 1 hour later that our main courses arrived. We both ordered pasta. How pasta can take an hour is beyond my comprehension, especially when the 2 top next to us, who also ordered pasta, received and finished theirs before ours arrived. In the hour we were waiting, the server passed us on at least 10 occasions, failing to engage with at all. I had to flag someone down for water and another glass of wine. I watched the owner working behind the bar drying silverware for at least half an hour while we were totally ignored. I found it odd that he was drying silverware when they clearly had enough on a tray in front of him to cover days worth of service. He was doing everything possible to avoid work and engagement with customers. Finally, I got his attention and asked where our food was and he proceeded to give an insincere apology, instead rationalizing the delay by saying we ordered something that required extra attention. I'm sorry, we ordered pasta, not a souffle. Again, the 2 top next to us both ordered pasta and they were paying their check as I was conversing with the owner. The food eventually arrived and it was quite average. The owner later comped the wine, but that wasn't what I was looking for. Based on other reviews regarding the service, it seems our experience was not unique.

Cena tra 2 coppie, ordinate 2 bruschette con salsiccia e caciotta, 2 tagliolini de lu vatte, 1 tagliatella al ragù di coniglio e una lasagna, 1 frecantò e 2 salami di cioccolato. Non so dire quale piatto fosse il migliore, avendoli assaggiati tutti. Piatti con prodotti di ottima qualità, una cena semplicemente spettacolare! Una qualità difficile da trovare anche in Italia! Semplicemente super consigliato!

We wanted to be on the safe side with Italian cuisine and we found this Marche restaurant in Covent Garden! The place is small, but welcoming and warm! The food is very good! I advise!
