    The staff took great care of us, very thoughtful and attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed, we really felt at home. Very tasty food and the best spritz I have had in London so far, so authentic! Will be back...

    We had 4 “starters”, 3 Pastas, one desert. They ARE out of the world. Wine is top of the class with almost the same price as in Vivino. New place, new style of menu (small plates option for most of the dishes) BUT, THE quality, THE authenticity, THE uniqueness, so many THE;s etc are THE SAME. Value for money is unparalleled especially in this post COVID world. Thank you Al Duca.

    An Italian restaurant that serves most of its dishes in 2 sizes. We decided to try several dishes by selecting the smaller portions - Italian tapas. Food was superb. Lovely pasta dishes, fantastic calves liver with mash and zucchini fritti which came with a delightful lime mayonnaise dip. Serving staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Very nice lunch, thanks.

    The menu is fairly diverse and food on the whole excellent although some of the servings were a bit strange. The waiters were very attentive but didn't always seem to know what to do e.g. pouring far too large glasses of white wine.

    Enjoyable pre-theatre meal at Al Duca. Very good food and good service although, like so many restaurants, they did go AWOL when we were ready to pay ! Chicken Milanese was very good and a generous portion.
