The Italian Cotto in Lambeth

Great spot for home made food. Family restaurant. Great pizza and desert. Ask for Simone to serve you

£4 for a slice of bread? You are insane

Lasagna to take away tasted good, but for the price (16) the bowl could have been better and not just half.

A coeliac pilgrimage for decent pizza! Was very lovely and I felt very looked after with food from the gluten free kitchen. Lovely pizza and pasta and a CHOICE of pudding!

EXCESSIVE PRICE Be careful, the price displayed on the internet does not correspond to the price on site. 22 pounds a plate of pasta !!!!!

Very good. Fair prices, large portions and good service.

I ate really well. The cook is a Miss of Italian origin with traditions. The fact that she is the one cooking made me feel very comfortable. In addition, Mr. Lino is a very helpful and friendly person who welcomed me at the door. From time to time both he and the waiters come by to see if we need anything. They offer a lot of attention to customer care. An Italian restaurant that deserves London!!🍝🇮🇹🇬🇧

Super friendly, authentic Italian! Family owned and operated. Delicious food, spectacular service. The owner works everyday and was educating (playfully) not to be cutting his spaghetti. And demonstrated how to use his spoon, twirl and eat 😀🙏👍 100% awesome. MUST VISIT !!

Absolutely amazing food, I usually have food envy but everything we all ordered was incredible. My crab and lobster pasta dish was phenomenal. And we had brilliant service from the super friendly team. I absolutely love this restaurant, such a find, I will definitely be back with my hubby

I love pizza, actually I am crazy about pizza. I am the type of guy that will tell you if a pizza is good or not just by looking at it. 😁 That being said, this one is one of the best pizzas 🍕 I ever ate, hands down. So if you are in mood for one… don’t you dare second guessing… this is the place!

Very last minute and spontaneously we were looking for a place to grab some dinner and this was just across the road from the tube station we were stood in front of. As I peered through the window, a man (who I presume to be the owner) came out and gestured for us to come inside. They were very accommodating and being greeted with “ciao bella” upon arrival was sweet. It felt very European inside and I loved it. It was an escape from the UK for a couple of hours. The olives (already prepared and put on the centre of every table) were divine! And so was the olive loaf that was offered (for an extra charge) I ordered a glass of house white wine and a seafood linguini. I wasn’t overly impressed with my linguini I’m sad to say and I wasn’t totally convinced it was freshly made. Overall the bill came to £55.50, which I don’t think in London for nibbles, 2 drinks (one of which was wine), two main courses and service charge included that was an unreasonable amount of money.

Gluten free pasta and standard pasta dishes were quite good. Unfortunately, the tuna steak was possibly the worst I’ve ever had. Cooked through - completely dry and brown - and inedible. No employee asked why I hadn’t eaten it when clearing our plates, so I brought it up as I was paying the bill and the employee was dismissive and said, “I don’t know why you’re telling me, you should have told the boss, I’m only his daughter, what do you want me to do.” It was the most expensive thing we ordered and absolutely awful, yet I was going to pay for it without issue (and did!), but the lack of customer service in addition to the poor cooking is disappointing to say the least. Definitely stick to the pasta and be sure not to complain about any issues if you dine here!

I have eaten at Cotto multiple times and have even brought friends from work here who also loved it! The tortelloni prosciutto is my absolute favorite!

A restaurant for a respectable family who welcomed us warmly Serve olives and bread with butter We ordered pizza (primavera) and pasta (penne napoli) The dishes were delicious Their service is fast We thank them for their cooperation, and I recommend visiting them

Fantástica comida. Todo casero. Todo estaba cocinado a la perfección. Algunos platos inusuales. El restaurante estaba ocupado el sábado por la noche. El dueño del restaurante era muy acogedor. Gran hospitalidad de este pequeño restaurante italiano encantador. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Great food, excellent for coeliacs!

The experience here was disappointing overall. Although the staff spoke a little English, it was still difficult to communicate effectively. We waited a very long time for our food, which added to the unfriendly vibe. Given the location in central London, I expected a more welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a place I’d recommend.

Exceptional. Gluten free and very good flavor! Spectacular attention. Essential.

Food was ok, waitress was unfriendly, overwhelmed and unmotivated Inflexible for children's requirements (order)

I dined here two years ago, and after my recent visit, I’m happy to say it’s still as amazing as ever. I had the steak and carbonara, both of which were outstanding. I ended the meal with an authentic tiramisu and a cup of espresso, and the tiramisu was truly the star of the show. A perfect way to finish a lovely meal!

Best GF Italian meal we have ever experienced! What a treat to have so many menu options. The GF lasagna was delicious, even came with a GF sticker on plate as reassurance that the dish was safe to eat. (We are from San Diego, California, USA)

Excellent service and very pleasant family treatment. Paradise for celiacs, everything is gluten-free!!! Spectacular, I totally recommend. The sublime lasagna....and the tiramisu I won't even tell you.

Maravilloso restaurante italiano a solo 5 minutos a pie de la estación de Waterloo de Londres. Un montón de comida italiana maravillosa con muchos gluten - opciones libres incluyendo pizza fresca y pasta. Mi marido comió de las opciones ordinarias (sin gluten) y dijo que la comida era genial. Comí del menú g - f, que era extenso - un placer - y todo cocinado en un gluten dedicado separado - cocina gratuita para evitar la contaminación cruzada. Muy recomendable.

I was looking forward to a dinner here as I heard great things regarding GF food. We made reservations for 4 people for 20:45, last of us arrived at 20:40 only to be talked rudely by the waiter. We were told from all the GF options on the menu they could only make the pizza GF because they closed the kitchen (?). Why allow for a 20:45 pm reservation then in the first place? Cannot comment on the food as we left without ordering but horrible service.

AVOID AT ALL COST. We booked a table for 20:45 today for a party of 4, as our friend was celiac, we (2 ppl) arrived first and sat down, no one came down to take our drinks order, the first contact we had with the waiter was when he came down to say "Are your friends even coming? Kitchen is closing, so...?", then when our friends came the waiter said "you can only have pizza, no pasta and no risotto, kitchen is closing" so we argued why did they let us book so late. The waiter (older man) was rude and the lady manager said 'oh well, what did you expect!?' then later on they told us you cant pay with card as we only had drinks, so we need to go take cash out.We argued that in the menu minimum card payment is 10£ and they let us pay then. RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL.

The food was delicious and the service was good very family run vibes, which is nice to see there was a lot to choose from. And it was quite busy inside but we managed to get a table within a few minutes.

La peor lasaña que he comido y el personal más oxidado. El hombre mayor me preguntó si había terminado cuando apenas había comido algo y le dije que no, que no estaba muy bueno. Luego me preguntó si podía hacerlo mejor, a lo que dije absolutamente. La mujer más joven dijo entonces que yo era ofensivo, ya que esta era una receta de 100 años. Señalé que prácticamente no había carne ni queso en la lasaña, si hubiera estado al frente, habría señalado que sabía como había estado sentado durante 100 años. Este lugar es una inmersión, con comida de mierda y personal horrible, evitar.

OH WHAT! Great restaurant for coeliac. You are in safe hands here the owner is a coeliac and most and I mean most of the menu is gluten free. The bread tastes like I remember. It was warm fluffy and tasted so great. Pizzas and pasta with a wide choice and eight yes eight dessert choices. The staff are all attentive and we had a great chat with the owner and his daughter. Well worth the trip to London alone for me. Thank you Cotto!

Food ok. Charge for bread and butter of £1.50 for one slice! The food was ok. We were then told we had to pay cash or there would be a £3.50 charge per person. Spoilt the evening would not visit here again when in London

Food was very average. Tinned salmon. Not freshly made. We told our party of 7 had to split our order across pizza and pasta, as the two chefs couldn't manage a big order of one type of dish. They charged us £10 for bread and butter, and olives that we had not asked for but were already on the table. As we were away on business, we needed to pay individually and they wanted to charge us £3 each for paying by card, which has been illegal in the UK for some years. I eat away for business alot, across the UK and have never had issues paying individually. Rude service. Needless to say I will not be back. Which is a shame for the restaurant as we are staying for three weeks just round the corner, and they will miss out on our business.

Excellent food in a family run restaurant. Would definitely recommend. This is not a fancy restaurant which makes it even more endearing.

Wow, delicious and quality food. Yum Yum Yum

I have been several times in two consecutive years and I can only say that the food is very good and delicious, as well as the friendly and friendly treatment of all the staff, especially the owner Lino, always friendly and making sure that you are missing nothing. Manolo (Ceuta - Spain 👌👌)

Used to be good but no more. Soggy pizza and poor service.

Ralctaste of Italy in every detail.

Visited Cotto for the first time last week with my sister and we were not disappointed! My sister has a wheat allergy so I spent a long time researching restaurants in London which were good with allergies, and I have to say Cotto is the best restaurant we've ever visited for this. The owner has celiac and started the business because he was afraid of eating out in other restaurants (most don't have a great attitude towards allergies). It was very refreshing to talk to someone who knows that a wheat allergy is not the same as gluten free! Almost the entire menu could be done wheat free (they cater for a variety of allergies), and my sister was so happy to have so many options to choose from, including freshly made pasta! They also had lovely wheat free (and gluten free) bread. We both chose the same main course (one wheat free) and my sister also had a wheat free cheesecake. The food was all delicious and the service was great! We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting London! This is a small local family run business so please support them, I wish we lived closer as this is definitely somewhere we would visit frequently! If you are nervous about eating out with a food allergy then this is the place for you! Thank you for a lovely and worry free meal!

Excellent food and very good service. I recommend.

The least customer- and tourist-friendly place I've ever been. Just feel like it deserves a heads-up for anyone unaware of the experience here. I hope your experience is different and wonderful, if you do go! The food was delicious. The male manager and the atmosphere were both the worst I've ever encountered in a long time. I'm not sure if this is temporary or not, but it's basically a long hallway with tables crammed into it that was so cacophonously loud and echoing we had to shout at each other the entire dinner. Couldn't hear the person next to me at our own table. A kitchen assistant of some kind came up to our table with a huge tray of bread and just stood there and literally barely spoke when we tried to ask questions, which made us feel really confused and self-conscious. We were just trying to ask how many pieces we could/should take. We should have taken more as they never returned with it. Our water was also never once refilled -- they only are attentive to those who order alcohol. It was sweltering, despite them supposedly having the AC on, and we were extremely hot having walked there. I recognize as Americans we are used to cooler temps but we were truly dripping in sweat and it was even hotter inside than out, so I asked politely to keep my menu as a fan until I was able to cool down; while the woman manager was nice enough and had zero problems with this, not ten minutes later the man manager (owner?) was incredibly rude and literally was arguing with me and tried to take it from my hand while I wasn't looking. It was like he couldn't deal with me having it, just on principle, not for any real reason. It's not as if they were in a drought for menus! Only 20 people can even fit in that restaurant. I hope it was an off day for them, but felt like a heads-up was warranted.

Very good, Italian, cheap and cheerful 💗

Great place for Italian food, with exclusive gluten free cuisine, the owner has celiac disease and is very attentive to the service and gives the best attention

Best place I’ve ever eaten authentic Italian food. Great experience and would highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

As a coeliac, the food was very good for me (separate kitchen for gluten free food) - although it was quite a bit more expensive for gluten free dishes (about £4 more expensive). However, I was disappointed by the service. We felt rushed during the meal, and then at the end, just as we were calculating how to spilt the bill (and we’d only been there about 1 hour), a member of staff came up to us and just told us we needed to leave. A disappointing end to the evening and made me not want to return.

We were staying at the Marlin Waterloo and we decided to visit Cotto for dinner on our last night in London. It's just steps away from our hotel and while we chose it for convenience, it was some of the best food we had on our trip. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend doing as it is a small restaurant, we arrived a bit early and they were able to seat us almost immediately. It's is clearly a family run restaurant in the best possible way. Regular customers came in while we were there and they were so warmly greeted and we, as tourists, were taken care of with just as much warmth and care. We had their home made bread to start, which I think I could write a love letter to, along with the Insalata Caprese. The Caprese was so fresh, and beautiful to look at. I had the Rigatoni Matrigiana and was blown away by the fresh, flavorful sauce. My spouse had the Spaghetti Carbonara, I stole a bite and found it to be rich, creamy and decadent. He is a bit traditional, and while he enjoyed it greatly, he did comment that traditional carbonara doesn't include cream in the sauce. (I think I liked this version better! I have had a hard time with carbonara being bitter in the past and heavy feeling.) We finished our meals with a Crostata Limone and a Tiramisu and a glass of port each. Both desserts were clearly homemade and perfectly fresh. The Crostata was light and fresh with wonderful lemon flavor. The tiramisu was creamy and had clear coffee flavors that stole the show. Overall a wonderful meal and a wonderful way to bookend our last night in London.

The food is good but the service is terrible! We were sent to close the restaurant early at…. 9:30 p.m.!!! Dishes or glasses cleared when we had not finished, dessert offered even though some had not finished their dishes and the prices were not given. Avoid if possible!

Envoyé par notre hotel, la cuisine était bonne mais le service était détestable! Nous sommes arrivé à 20h…21h15 on nous prie de finir vite car le restaurant veut fermer ! Nous n’avons même pas le temps de finir qu’on nous débarrassait déjà les plat, les desserts étaient proposés alors que l’un de nous n’avais pas fini sont plat. Bref un service catastrophique, heureusement que la cuisine était bonne, je ne recommande pas cet endroit

Very good spaghetti bolognese. Very nice and chatty owner.

Buona cena Gluten Free a Londra, titolare italiano simpatico, buon servizio, cibo buono con diversi piatti gluten free. Prezzi in linea con London.

It was so nice to go somewhere that my daughter (who has coeliacs disease) both felt safe and had a huge menu choice - she is so used to having to compromise. The staff here are so friendly - a friendly welcome and the chap (who I think was the owner) checking in with us re allergies and being very attentive. Everyone enjoyed their food - between us we had pizz, calzone (not GF) and a savoury crepe. Tiramisu was good too. Great location - a bit hard to spot currently due to scaffolding. Will definitely be back.

Amazing gluten free options! We had all GF- the penne pasta, Margherita pizza, tiramisu & lemon sorbet. Service was efficient and we loved the fact they had a separate GF kitchen. They know how to do it! We would’ve went back if we had time!

Go elsewhere as staff rude and uninviting

I had the most delicious gluten free pizza at this lovely family run Italian restaurant. The owner is coeliac and he runs the place with his daughter. The service was brilliant, the pizza was one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve had outside of Rome. Highly recommend this place for delicious gluten free Italian

This place is a MUST visit especially if you’re gluten free! Two out of 6 of us needed gf, but the entire table voted it best in London! Most (if not all) of the menu can be made gf. The homemade bread is delicious, each main dish was amazing, and the desserts were incredible! We would have gone again if we had more time!

Family owned Italian restaurant. Good food in a casual and friendly place. Everyone was very nice.

Gluten free dream. Absolutely divine pasta dishes and desserts for celiacs (separate kitchen) and regular diets. Pricing is what you would expect for central London. We were taken aback by the £30 charge for two lemoncellos but other than that we were very happy.

Genuine Italian family restaurant with a wide choice of gluten-free food. After years I was back in London and I went to eat here again, even though we had to take the metro for half an hour.

This is a small family run business, not part of a chain. Let’s try to support these small restaurants. There are lots of gluten free options including pizza, which is cooked in a separate oven. Lots of gf deserts which I will return to try. The owner is celiac, so understands the needs. Easy to get to, opposite Lambeth North Tube station

Highly recommended. Italian 100%

+ Super tasty pizzas (Primavera, Cotto, Salame) - rather unfriendly service (the boss grimaced slightly because you only ordered 3 soft drinks) Way too many service employees. This makes it uncomfortable. You felt stressed because you had the feeling that you had to be "handled" as quickly as possible. 6 GBP (1.50 pp) for the coperto AND 10% forced tip is cheeky! We paid extra in cash. The change of 0.90 GBP was “forgotten” to bring. We left it at that. It's not about the 0.90 GBP, it's about the principle if you were already forced to tip 12.50 GBP. loud, uncomfortable atmosphere. We as a family would definitely not come here again because we were given the feeling that we weren't making enough sales. Better to go back to the grocery store to get dinner than to lose £75 and no one is happy at the end. Sorry, with the best will in the world we couldn't order a whole portion per child. There were already leftovers because we ordered too much because of a “guilty conscience”.

Pizzen waren gut. Sonst gibt es nichts Positives. Eher unfreundliche Bedienung (Chefin verzog leicht das Gesicht, weil man nur 3 Softdrinks bestellte). Viel zu viele Service-Angestellte. Dadurch ungemütlich. Man fühlte sich gestresst, weil man das Gefühl bekommt, möglichst schnell "abgefertigt" werden zu müssen. 6 GBP (1.50 p.P.) für das Coperto UND 10 % erzwungenes Trinkgeld sind frech! Wir haben extra bar bezahlt. Das Wechselgeld von 0.90 GBP wurde "vergessen" zu bringen. Wir beliessen es dabei. Es geht nicht um die 0.90 GBP, sondern ums Prinzip, wenn man schon zu 12.50 GBP Trinkgeld gezwungen wurde. Lautes ungemütliches Ambiente. Plastiktische. Wir würden als Familie hier auf keinen Fall nochmals kommen, weil uns das Gefühl vermittelt wurde, zu wenig Umsatz zu machen. Lieber wieder im Lebensmittelladen das Abendessen besorgen, als 75 GBP los zu werden und niemand ist am Schluss glücklich. Sorry, wir konnten beim besten Willen nicht pro Kind eine ganze Portion bestellen. Es gab so schon Reste, weil wir wegen "schlechtem Gewissen" zu viel bestellt hatten.

If you are Coeliac this is an absolute must visit. It's saved in my Google maps favourites and I intend to visit every chance I get when visiting the city. The host is exactly what you would expect from a small, boutique Italian restaurant. Friendly, personable, full of character and clearly somebody who loves what he does. The food was delicious, service was fast and attentive, and the atmosphere is apparent the second you walk through the door. I can't remember the last time I had eight desert options, and I honestly would have paid double. Loved every minute I was here.

This place is so amazing! The owner is celiac himself and makes you feel like family as soon as you arrive. The entire staff our so attentive and kind. On top of that the food is delicious and prepared in a separate kitchen so you have endless options that are safely gluten free

Really loved this place! The owner is rather lovely and chatted to me about being a coeliac. My non-gluten free friend also really enjoyed the food here.

Food was sooooooo good! I ordered the rigatoni matrigiana and it was delicious, added some fresh parmesan and pepper on top and it added to the tastiness. 😋

This is a classic Italian place worth visiting many times. I recommend the Bresaola and Buffalo as a starter and any tomato-based pasta for pasta. I have not tried the pizzas yet, as the pasta is really good and large enough.

This restaurant has a family feeling with the staff who takes time to talk with you and to get interested in your story. About the food, the many options of vegan and gluten free food are a very good point, I took a pizza with vegan cheese and I really enjoyed it. Overall it's yummy and I had a good time!

We had the best dinner there. The red sauce is amazing. They shared the recipe is over 100 years old. They were more than accommodating for my family’s gluten allergies. The staff was attentive and very kind. I would recommend to anyone who is craving a fabulous Italian dinner.

Was looking forward to a gluten free pizza and wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend it 👌

Tasty gluten free pizza's in a friendly run restaurant

This is the BEST restaurant to eat at if you have celiac. I had the gluten free lasagna, and it was absolutely delicious!

This restaurant once did amazing Coeliac food. However, things have changed. On our last visit, the food was unpleasant and tasteless. It seemed to have been recooked from frozen. Also woman manager was very unpleasant to deal with. The older gentleman owner was not around. He is usually nice. In all, would not recommend.

It's a wonderful place with delicious food. The atendents are very nice. Everything was amazing.

Lovely, neighbourhood gem. If you're celiac, you'll have found nirvana for Italian cuisine in London.

Family run restaurant with very friendly staff. Mr Lino is the perfect Host. Food is great and so is the service. Highly recommended!

Great pasta and pizza. Fantastic service. The owner is lovely!!

Lovely family owned Italian restaurant! Amazing if you're coeliac or gluten free, lovely service and incredible quality food. Can't wait to come back here!

Really good food and service, but can get loud during busy hours.

We had the most amazing meal at Cotto, with a separate GF kitchen we knew our food would be suitable for a Coeliac diet. Staff were friendly, and it felt like we were in a little restaurant somewhere in Italy! Wish I lived closer to London to come here regularly!

This restaurant is small and could easily be overlooked, but if you're coeliac or want to go out with anyone who is coeliac or gluten intolerant, then this is the place to go! A family run restaurant, very welcoming and friendly. The menu has gluten-free options priced in green, and everything containing gluten is priced in black ink. The difference in pricing between gluten and non gluten is not large (unlike gluten-free rolls in the supermarket - Warburtons, I'm looking at you - you can do better!). I had the spaghetti bolognese but with gluten free tagliatelle as they had run out of gf spaghetti. It was delicious and the portion sizing was just right. I then had the gf chocolate fudge cake which was also delicious and I devoured it! I didn't take any photos as I was too busy enjoying my food! It's a comfortable walk from Westminster bridge and not that far from Waterloo either. Now I know where it is, I will certainly be back whenever I next visit London.

Love this restaurant the food is great been 3 times this year. Once alone, once with husband and this time with 2 friends. The staff are so friendly the owner is amazing and present and greets everyone. Absolutely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

This restaurant is a gift to the world, especially to those who can’t eat gluten. The owner was super friendly and has Celiac’s so he knows the gluten-free struggle. On top of that, the food was delicious, of great value, and I’ve never gotten to choose my bread and butter from a huge basket before. I had the hot salami pizza and it was Wonderful.

The safest I felt eating out in a long time. The owner has celiac and understands the needs of us with the disease. But more importantly it was delicious. I mean, gluten free lasagna in a restaurant that tastes delicious? Bolognese on a pizza? Yes please. You'll find it here. Plus like 99% of the menu has gf options listed right next to the regular ones so you don't feel cheated like at most other "allergy friendly" restaurants where they just take off the sauce or something. Highly recommend. Oh yeah, and the gluten eating people in my party said their's was delicious as well. Bonus!

Extremely friendly, relaxed atmosphere with delicious food. Excellent gluten free choices

We came to town from the US about a week ago and tried new places each night. We found this place close to our hotel and decided to try it out for dinner. We were blown away! Two of us have gluten allergies, and they had a ton of gluten free options. The GF bread was unreal. The main courses were our if this world! You can tell the owner pours his heart in to his business and it shows in the food and service. We came back the very next night and tried more of what they have to offer. This place is a must if you’re in the area. You will not be disappointed!!!

Food was delicious, staff were so friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again!

Quiet out of the way place .if your into Italian cuisine then this place is awesome

We were greeted by super friendly staff, but after that the service went downhill. The lady that served us was very abrupt and generally not friendly. The food was below standard, the carbonara was dry, the pancetta was cold and chewy. It just didn’t taste fresh, or like it was made with care.

We were staying nearby and searched for a soot to take a friend joining us for lunch. We were greeted and knew immediately that Cotto was the right choice for us. Pizza and bolognese were both perfect. Service was friendly and jovial.

Lasagna was great, and also the service. Great place for lunch whether or not you have celiacs. Will be definitely coming back when back in London.

Delicious authentic Italian food. Very friendly owner and staff. Great wine and great prices. Best meal we have had in London!

God’s gift to gluten free!! This place is amazing. The staff is so kind, and the owner is Celiac himself. I would come back to London for this place alone!! The tortellini is to die for. We love you Cotto!

Amazing authentic Italian food! The owner treats you like family. Everything on the menu has a gluten-free option! We were in London for a week and canceled other reservations just to come back to this little gem. We will always come here when in London!

Good atmosphere, AMAZING food, LIGHT and INVITING! The owner is super fun, Italian and the waiters are kind. We went twice in 2 days! I highly recommend it!

The food was excellent, true Italian food, don’t overlook this small quaint place!

Went to Cotto to meet a friend it used to be a neighbourhood gem when I worked down the road but it's still easily accessible just opposite Lambeth north tube. Great to go back and enjoy fabulous food and drink in an understated atmosphere.

Small warm place with superb food and true Italian spirit. Planets away from fast food locals or pub grub. A little gem in Lambeth North

Even if you're not celiac or gluten free, go here. The food was amazing, but the absolute luxury they provided my wife who is celiac was amazing. The gluten free bread is off the charts, the best my wife had ever eaten. Interacting with the owner was special, and he was great. I truly can't recommend this place enough.

A real gem. Warm, attentive, exuberant staff and a charming family cucina vibe. Opera music playing and the owner singing along. Magical! Don’t be put off by the rather simple decor; the food is glorious. I had tagliatelle salmone (handmade pasta) and it was some of the best Italian food I’ve eaten in the UK. I love tiramisu and eat it all the time, and that was also one of the tastiest I’ve eaten. So cheap too — I’ve paid double the money for food half as good elsewhere. They also do lots of gluten free, which didn’t apply to me, but interesting!

Excellent food, friendly attentive service, and a really good bottle of Primitivo

The restaurant markets gluten free options and there are. However, the gluten free tagliatelle was very poor, large congealed lumps. The rest of the food was OK without being great and the decor was very tired with visible daylight through a hole next to a very old and dirty air conditioning unit. Wouldn’t go back

Our table was booked for 7:15 but after walking round London all day we went early on the off chance we could be squeezed in. We were greeted with a very warm and friendly welcome . They found us a table as another couple had just finished. Food was delicious, surprisingly good value and excellent service. If you’re in the area and fancy an Italian don’t miss out!!!
