A charming, family-run neighbourhood Italian in Brook Green that balances home-style warmth with honest, meaty pastas.
Ordering Strategy
Focus heavily on the pasta section, specifically the meat ragus, which are consistently praised over starters or lighter dishes.
What to order
Sausage Ragout
Highlighted by The Infatuation as a standout reason to visit; the meaty pastas are the strength here.
Paccheri with n’duja ragu
Cited by the Evening Standard as a 'familiar favorite with soul' that makes this neighborhood spot 'vaut la visite'.
Tiramisu
Described as a version that is 'actually edible' by critics—high praise for a classic that is often underwhelming at other Italian spots.
