Annual. Christmas meet up with college friends. We picked the place because of the convenient location, nice menu and good pricing. Both food and wine were v fairly priced and the portions were very generous. Quite a noisy space but thankfully we could hear each other talking I would definitely go back there.

Absolutely stunning italian food that offers great value for money. The staff are knowledgeable and very helpful in explaining ingredients and favourites. The carafe of house red wine went down a treat too! The location is central for Marylebone High related food outings and the physical space lovely and airy. Plenty of space between tables. A great find and we’ll be back!

We went to this restaurant based on the good ratings posted. We were quite disappointed with the experience. The menu was pretty limited. The food was basic and not particularly strong for an italian menu. Uninspired at best especially for the price. The restaurant was empty compared to neighboring italian jaunts as well.

Monday night and only two other tables occupied all evening. Very quiet. Took up OpenTable offer for two/three-course meal off the set menu but, Oh! how disappointing. No meat options at all, just tomato sauces on pasta. My children could have cooked better. So, inevitably, we went onto the full menu and had perfectly pleasant pasta with salmon sauce that was the day's special for £10. From the list of salads we selected tomato salad and a bowl of freshly cut tomatoes dressed duly turned up with no further ado. Trade Descriptions could not have faulted it. But, again, my children could have prepared them in a more imaginative way. Service was charming and attentive, almost apologetic. They do not write the fixed price menu! Overall, a really below-average Italian meal in a rather dreary 'fast food' looking restaurant on Baker Street, of all places! Really, although what was cooked was fine judged by nursery standards, it was an insult to Italian cooking. Cheap as chips and not as good.

This place is a gem and ticks all the boxes for a family dinner out! Lovely food for very reasonable prices, very friendly waiters and beautiful atmosphere! They have a kids’ menu and it’s delicious, too!

Needed to find a place in a rush so booked it here as it said the pasta was freshly made every day. One of the two waiters was friendly and helpful and she was quite attentive but the other waiter didn't seem to know his left from right...! The food was OK - big portions but sadly nothing to write home about.
