What we ate:
Starters:
Now I have to say, the starters I had here I could not fault! One of the best italian starters I have had in London!
Baked courgette flowers filled with ricotta and black truffle
These are just one of the most amazing dishes I have ever tried.
Insalata di polipo ( Warm Octopus Salad)
This was so delicious with pickled onions and beetroot, the flavour was just divine!
Carpaccio of Seabass with marinated Sardines
I am not normally a big sardine fan but these were insane and not too salty!
Main Course
Homemade tagliolini with Devon crab
Grilled octopus with gratin asparagus
Dessert:
We had some coffee and the petits fours!
We Recommend:
Definitely try all the starters we had!
Our Thoughts:
We honestly cannot fault this Italian and think the prices are so decent considering Mayfair! Definitely check it out.
Also perfect for lunch meetings as tables are quite spread out so you can’t hear what the table next to you are saying.
