there was a particularly noisy woman in, but that's not the restaurant's fault. The acoustics of the room probably made her sound louder; there's nothing to absorb the sounds, e.g. tablecloths, so any noise tends to bounce off all the hard surfaces.

We were the only table for the first two hours but nonetheless the food was excellent and the service was brilliant from start to finish. The chef also cane out for a chat. My guest enjoyed themselves as first timers to the restaurant and were quietly surprised by this hidden gem and the authentic quality food. Shall be back sooner than later

Have been coming here since they opened a decade ago.As always beautifully cooked ,imaginative Italian food, the like of which you will find difficult to match in any highend Central London tratt. And for a fraction of their prices - it's the Holloway Road after all! Good selection of reasonably priced from all Italian winelist. Tried the Terre di Chietti Pecorino this time - delicious with seafood. 500 is a neibourhood gem.

We enjoyed the whole experience. It was very pleasant with good service & a visit from the chef at the end. We had interesting tasty food & well priced wine & particularly liked the offer of two mini starters if you couldn't decide on just one.
