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.

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

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)

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.

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! 😍

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

We decided to eat at this place thanks to the Google search and the reviews of the place (Friday evening). They immediately found us a table, we ordered a vincisgrassi and a carbonara and I must say that they were both delicious: carbonara is difficult to find good abroad but in this case the flavor was perfect. The vincisgrassi are delicious, like the ones at home (coming from the Marche region). However, the staff needs to be reviewed, the hospitality is not exactly Italian (as people from the Marche we would have liked to talk and exchange opinions, but we understand that this is not for everyone). Furthermore, when I asked for a particular bitter (of which there were at least 8 bottles visible, so it is assumed that they have it) the waiter (Italian but probably not from the Marche) told me he didn't have it. Very nice location albeit small, but prices perhaps a little high. (Vincisgrassi, carbonara, tiramisu water and two bitters 64 pounds) although most likely many products came from the Marche region therefore transport prices must be calculated in addition to those of the area.

Absolutely terrible over priced beer, wine and food. Disappointing to say the least.

Went with friends today. Drinks extortionate price and as for the food I've given better to the cat. Portions meagre. Definitely one to ABOID

Excellent lunch to celebrate a birthday before a show. Food, service and ambience just great and very helpful recommendations. We had a sharing board and bruschetta, and then two pastas splits between 4 so we could try two of the specialties. Very authentic and freshly cooked food. Will be back. Thank you!

Felt unwelcome - ignored repeatedly by various staff when we arrived. Slow service on drinks. Food was good quality but overall very disappointing experience. Described as a small independent - that raises the expectation of friendly service from staff who care.

I went there with a couple of friends last Friday and had an absolutely horrible experience. The food was decent but the service was horrible. The waiter was downright rude to us. He was literally throwing dishes on the table. This is despite ordering 3 course dinner for 5 including 2 bottles of wine appertif and all. The food was also nothing special. My suggestion would be to avoid this at all cost.

Awful food and service. We had to wait for 30 mina between the first and the main courses when the restaurant was half empty. When they arrived, it was so pale and mediocre. We ordered the “vegetarian” Ragu, which appeared to be pasta with tomato sauce (from a can, by the taste of it). Avoid

A gem of a place. Family run restaurant with delicious home cooked food. Will definitely go back there. Ideal for lunch or supper.

Really authentic Italian food, the best you can have in Central London . Loved the Olive all’ascolana, the carbonara pasta and the super nice host recommend an amazing red wine that you can not forget!

Overpriced, and mediocre to poor food. Rosé wine was good but expensive at £40+ a bottle. Never again. It has a reputation of being overpriced. I wanted to put this reputation to rest. Unfortunately, I could not.

I love this place. It’s authentic, rustic Italian food is so good it made me feel like I was there! The house white wine is excellent too. I loved their carbonara, which was rich and very satisfying.

Tutto buonissimo, abbiamo mangiato 2 tipi di pasta: tagliatelle con ragu di coniglio bianco e pasta alla carbonara...mia figlia ha detto che erano migliori di come li cucino io. I dolci eccellenti.... fatti in casa. Grazie

This restaurant must be doing something right as it is a great survivor on a busy corner of Covent Garden and seems to have outlasted many others despite the relatively small number of table covers. Perhaps its intimacy is its greatest attribute as the menu tilts towards the pricey end of the market and what is available is fairly standard Italian culinary fare, apart from the occasional nod towards special dishes involving rabbit from the Italian province of Le Marche. There is never any doubt that you will get a good meal here, it just may not be memorable.

Absolutely delicious Italian cuisine, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is not too heavy or full of unnecessary ingredients. Atmosphere wise it is very cozy and rustic looking. Glad to have randomly walked in here! They were even able to squeeze me in without a reservation. 10/10 would dine again.

It’s a small restaurant with hardly enough space to move. The food is fine but for what it is it’s a rip off. Avoid

Food was average and service was very but very unpleasant. For the price you would expect the carbonara to be serve from a Parmesan wheel. The focaccia was a bit chewy.

The ambient is great, feel of Italian country side. The service is very bad. Unpleasant and unhelpful. I also feel cheated with Set menu (we've ordered 3 of them) and the single items were much smaller then the same items ordered from the alacarte menu. Food was good but no great. I have eaten a lot of Italian food these was just avarage. Won't get back there.

Visited with my daughter and her friend before attending a gig at the O2 Forum. Pizzas were lovely and my daughter's friend claimed the carbonara was the best she'd ever tasted. Great service and lovely food.

A total rip off! Admittedly, this is a tapas bar so to be expected but the quantities served barely amount to £15 on the £75 menu, The presentation was certainly not refined to reflect the price, As for the desserts, nothing was fresh to the point that someone in our party even spat out the cheese cake, Just looking at the menu I did expect it to be disappointing and it lived to its expectations.
