The food and wine are good, the staff are friendly and efficient, but ... Lorne is let down by its parsimony. This begins with the offering of half a slice of bread to dip in some olive oil, continues with the tap water that later appears on the bill (“filter water”) and comes to a head with the distinctly ungenerous portion sizes - I estimate that 50% more of each course would have been a sustaining, value for money meal. And it isn’t as if ingredients such as ham hock and guinea fowl are especially expensive. The cheese portions - @£12 for two slim pieces - are especially niggardly. One shouldn’t spend £100+ per head, then feel hungry ninety minutes later. As such, I can’t recommend Lorne.
Beautiful place, myself and my partner went for a morning coffee and breakfast while staying in Bethnal Green and sat inside to eat. The coffee was great, the focaccia we had was so tasty, and I don’t know what anyone who says the staff ignores those they don’t know is talking about. We’ve never been here before but we came in and got served almost immediately.

I dined alone and enjoyed my food so much, the service was amazing and the waiter was very attentive. I had to give a tip as I was very satisfied with my experience. Will defo go again with some friends.
Authentic Italian food, that delights the tastebuds and leaves you wanting more! The pasta dishes and their sauces were delicious, the chef either is Italian or really understands what Italian cuisine is all about. Everything eaten had a unique and scrumptious flavour to it. Service was good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice too. The only reason this restaurant didn't get the full 5 stars from me was due to my partner's pasta being slightly on the raw side rather than al dente (but I found this quite minor and pasta consistency can be quite subjective), also quite pricey. However, I would definitely go again, and recommend anyone looking for proper Italian food in Surbiton to go here. Anywhere else and you're wasting your time.
Vino a tomar cafés y consiguió pasteles gratis. El personal era muy amable, y el lugar es muy funky. El jardín trasero es un lugar perfecto para una taza tranquila en la niebla del bullicio y el bullicio.
Precio razonable.
Tuve una primera cita aquí, resultó que había cerrado permanentemente sin dejar rastro, caminé arriba y abajo de la calle como 8 veces tratando de encontrar este lugar, resultó que había cerrado hace un par de meses.
