So following on from the discriminatory reception from the well known il Bordello restaurant nearby, we decided to try a different Italian restaurant, one not as well known except to the locals of Wapping or well reviewed but I am so grateful we found this place. It is genuinely a little gem situated opposite Tobacco Dock. There are old ships sitting in a dry dock so the view outside is pretty cool. We walked in and were immediately warmly welcomed and seated at our table. The people on the adjoining table were locals and mentioned how good the food was so that was very reassuring. We ordered from the starter menu the gamberoni e rucola (pan fried prawns, garlic chilli), cornetto di salmone (avocado and prawn mousse wrapped in smoked salmon) and burrata (with ham on a bed of rocket with a sweet glaze) All of which were exquisite. Mains consisted of a lobster linguine and a fettuccine al salmone. The lobster was unfortunately a tad over cooked but was bursting with flavour and the linguine and all its sauce was worth licking the plate for. The fettuccine my partner had was so rich and creamy I was in heaven with the taste I had. Desserts; just a tiramisu. It was so light and delicate but packed with flavour. Drinks consisted of a couple of rum swizzles and a mojito. If you like your tropical pineapple and coconut flavours then this is the one for you. I even took one to go. The mojito was very nice but just needed a tad more sugar for my palate. I also ordered an extra pizza to take away cos I had such a good time and loved the food so much. Portion sizes were very healthy, not American size but definitely substantial Service was brilliant. It got a bit busy halfway through our meal with lots of groups and families dining but we felt cared for and appreciated for our custom. Staff saw us out after we finished eating with smiles and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place.

Mohammed served us and was fabulous from beginning to end, very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. He recommended dishes, brought exactly what we ordered without writing it down, and remembered who ordered what so when it came to the bill, he itemised each of our group separately so we could each pay our own, and was absolutely correct. An amazing asset to the place.

Came here after my friend recommended it, having had a good experience at the Mayfair location. Unfortunately the pastas were really poor. My spaghetti bolognese was really bland with no flavour. My friend's cacio o pepe was very salty. Thankfully , the waiter was able to switch the pasta for my friend , but the replacement that came was also poor. They took one pasta off the bill but unfortunately due to the poor quality, won't be dining here again.

I have recently had a full knee replacement operation and I am still finding it difficult to walk which is why I use my mobility scooter to get about. On the 27th August we decided to go to coffee 2 for lunch only to be told, in a loud and hostile manner that I wasnt allowed in the shop, he loudly proclaimed that it was his "companies policy" to not allow mobility scooters (mine is a small transportable model). I didnt make a fuss and left. When I got back home I checked the website for their Bromsgrove shop and it clearly says that access is good for wheelchairs etc - DEFINATELY NOT a disabled shop!!! As in my opinion some wheelchairs and much bigger than my scooter.

Brilliant evening with friends and Derek was an absolute star! We were seated immediately on our arrival and our drinks order was taken quickly and arrived quickly. The food came at a suitable speed and everything we had was excellent. However the best part of the evening was Derek who looked after us brilliantly. So we will definitely go back! Thank you Derek.

Won best pizza in Europe 2024: don't feel its better than the institutions in Naples, but it's one of the best neopolitan style pizza joints in London. Crust was amazing, but make sure you eat the pizza with the knife & fork and not your hands, else you will make a mess. High quality toppings and generous amount on the pizzas. The Cheesewick is a unique take on quattro formaggi, and the crispy pepperoni pizza slice is delicious and unique if you can handle the heat and love the crisp (it's first deep fried, then baked in the pizza oven). The downside is the atmosphere - the restaurant is very small, and the tables are very close to one another. It's always busy so it's really hard to hear your conversation with all the surrounding noise. Service is highly efficient and we did not wait long for our food despite it being a full house (<45mins to be seated, order for 2, eat and leave). Would recommend a visit for lunch as the Ricordi (ragu special) can sell out by afternoon and make sure to reserve well in advance because walk-in would be very difficult.

We popped into this lovely family run restaurant on way home from seeing our daughter in london. Used the TripAdvisor nearby restaurants and had a lovely meal with friendly service and great atmosphere. No alcohol licence so you can walk to the nearby shop and buy beers or wine and then pay a small charge to the restaurant.

The staff made our little pug Bella very welcome. It's great that Caffe Nero allows dogs. After watching rare seabirds and seals on the river Tweed we were able to escape the rain, enjoy yummy coffee, lunch and cake, and relax with Bella. Many thanks - we'll back. Five woofs from Bella! 😁 🐾🐾

This place deserves top marks - a friendly welcome; super-efficient preparation of tables (even on a very busy evening); attentive and good-humoured staff; great food. What more can you ask of a drop-in pizza place in central London? Ivo the waiter was awesome - a terrific evening.
