    Lucky to have found this place not far from my hotel. Authentic Italian that is an outstanding value. The only thing better then the food is the service and hospitality. Great fresh pasta, and actually returned 2 days later for the Pizza which was outstanding. Very affordable wine offerings which makes the experience that much better. It is small roughly 10 tables overlooking the street with a large window so it feels bigger than it is. This will be my go to place when I return to London/Kings Cross.

    A really super meal, early evening., with two children. Our waitress was amazing, particularly with the children. Tasty food, freshly cooked and great choice. We couldn’t quite believe all the positive reviews before we visited. We now do! This place is a gem.
