4 /5 Luke Jarvis: Pleasant little Italian place. Reasonably priced, no frills Italian food that doesn’t disappoint. Service was great and the atmosphere was homely, with a traditional vibe. Would recommend any of the pasta and finish off with the chocolate fudge cake. Italian desert? Nah, if you want that then get the tiramisu, but the cake was excellent.

5 /5 Anne Marie Stagg: We were spending some time in Camden, prior to catching our train and initially were looking for somewhere to have a coffee. When we saw their menu, however, coffee very quickly turned into brunch. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked, well presented and generous portions. I loved the decor and the general warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were visitors a couple but this is definitely somewhere that I would feel comfortable as a solo traveller. Recommended!

5 /5 David Prowse: On a busy corner on Parkway, one block from Camden High St. Friendly and helpful service without being over bearing. Service not included in our bill and it pays to be generous. Pizzas were excellent but a wider range of pasta and starters. Try the garlic pizza bread and olives whilst you sip on a negroni and choose your courses. Best tables along the front window but there is ample room towards the back. Very good food and atmosphere. Wine starts at £26, cocktails about £11-12. Outsideb tables along the street in good weather. Will go back.

1 /5 Dara Builders: I hadn’t eaten here for about 7 years since relocating to South West London, but I used to come frequently and always enjoyed it back then. Sadly, it’s gone downhill massively. I ordered the Veal Milanese, and it was honestly the worst version I’ve ever had — thin, dry, overcooked, and lacking any flavour. The portion came with a sad scoop of plain spaghetti in tomato sauce, which didn’t help matters. Avoid Risotto too! Judging by the change in quality, I can only assume the ownership has changed in recent years. Very disappointing considering how good this place used to be. Unfortunately, I’ll need to find somewhere else to eat in the area from now on.
