Used to go years ago when it was Fallen Angels but only been a couple of times since it's been Cenetta. I love the decor, it's cozy & feels like eating in a wine cellar but my husband hates it and says it's like a seedy basement! I had calamari which was a huge portion, cooked beautifully but I had to ask for some garlic mayo as it just had a lemon wedge! My friend had mussels which she enjoyed (creamy sauce which I'm not keen on). I had duck with pancetta, cherry & walnut (perfectly cooked, very tender) with a fondant potato which was OK (bit floury rather than waxy). My friend had tagliatelle topped with a salmon steak, again creamy sauce. She said it was very salty in patches & I tried 2 small flakes of the salmon & one was fine, one was very salty - nice though. We had a lush bottle of Primitivo, no room for pud but they looked nice. £50 each including 10%+ tip. The thing that really put me off was the staff banged the back of my chair every time they went past (and it wasn't a squeeze either) and as we were right in the middle opposite the kitchen pass it was upwards of 10 times. I should have said something after the 2nd time but it was 4 different staff members doing it.
