The food here is absolutely delicious, great music and exceptional staff! I held my 30th birthday here and had the best time. Big thanks to Lorenzo and the whole team for being so attentive and catering to lots of different dietary requirements with such patience!
Been here for wine and cheese. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Food was good, the ambience is nice, less than 10 minutes from Finsbury Park station, outdoor seating available with heaters, food portions a bit small compared to price but wasn’t a big deal. Pricy for the quantity of food you get but all in all place is recommended
Kara was amazing, recommended a wonderful wine. I’m not usually knowledgeable on wines but Kara spoke to us and understood what we wanted and recommended us the perfect choice for our evening. Amazing staff all round that make the place what it is!! Can’t wait to come back tomorrow !!
Amazing customer service, the staff and owner Lorenzo are one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Food all freshly made including the sauces which are all to die for!!!! Wine crisp and bursting with flavour…..would definitely recommend
We came here for the set lunch by PODI. The dosa was excellent. The okra curry with tamarind felt like a South Indian song in your mouth. I need them to do these lunches often. The gulab jamun was so good. We left so impressed and delighted.
A little bit of Florence in Finsbury Park! Terrific wine selection, excellent house-made pasta, charming decor, and a friendly, charming owner. Can't wait for thr next time!
New favourite place. Delicious wine, lovely staff and vibe and the best Italian pasta dishes I’ve had in London. So good it made me emotional! Can’t wait to come back!
This place is an absolute gem! The charcuterie and cheese board are top-notch, with high-quality cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and the perfect little extras to pair with their excellent wine selection. Whether you're just after a few nibbles or fancy going all in with a tasting menu (which includes some incredible pasta dishes), you really can’t go wrong. The cosy atmosphere makes it a lovely spot to unwind, and the friendly service makes you feel right at home :). Plus, for the quality you’re getting, the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a place worth returning to!
