Location

51 Greek St, London W1D 4EH, United Kingdom

Ordering Strategy

Portions are tapas-style small (described as sizes for an 'eight-year-old'); order 2-3 pastas per person to share, plus antipasti.

What to order

Safe first

30-Egg Yolk Tagliolini al Tartufo

The restaurant's signature dish; when executed correctly with vacche brune parmigiano and butter, it is described by critics as absolute 'heaven.'

Hungry

Pappardelle with Ragu

Whether served with veal, rabbit, or oxtail, the wide ribbons and meat sauce offer the most substance in a menu primarily composed of small plates.

Wildcard

Pane alle olive

An unexpectedly high-quality starter that stands out among the antipasti for being 'very good' and featuring 'succulent, whole green olives.'

What to skip

Skip
Orecchiette with Lamb SausageSharply criticized by The Guardian for lacking depth, with reviewers noting the combination of mince and cime di rapa tasted like it had an 'Oxo stock cube chucked into the mix.'

Good to know

The original Soho location is cramped with counter seating (best for duos), while King's Cross and Marylebone are more spacious; booking is essential.
