Super restaurant one of my favourites. Delicious food ....... then the bill ..... insisted they could only take cash and I was sent off in search of a cash machine. Why not tell me before I sat down to lunch. The delay made me late and I got soaked ! Not at all impressed.

Visited here because it's close to The Mall (post bike riding). A little hard to find, tucked away down an alley. We were surprised that it was almost empty at 9pm on a Saturday night (the two other tables left shortly after we arrived) and were worried it wasn't going to be good. The food was really delicious - we had pasta each. Farfalle with prawns, cream and mushroom was amazing - incredibly rich, a touch of garlic, definitely not a diet dish. Ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta in a walnut sauce was lighter bit still really tasty. We had a bottle of wine from (I think!) Serbia which was fab. We shared a dessert of tart del nonna, which I don't think was home made, seeing it come out of a box in the fridge. It was very nice, moneyless, though I do wish restaurants would not feel the need to drizzle everything with cheap chocolate sauce. Service was nice -friendly and chatty and we didn't feel rushed to leave despite being the only table left. The room could do with a bit of a spruce up (chairs looked a bit tired, lots of paperwork and mess around the bar area) which may or some people of. Overall prices are a bit higher than feels appropriate (meal for 2 with summer, 1.5 course each, was £83 excl tip) but it was exactly what we were looking to eat that evening and was an enjoyable evening.

The food was delicious, served with great charm and enthusiasm. He helped us choose the wine when we asked and it was perfect. The tables and chairs are not too close and yet the atmosphere is cozy. It is one of my favorite places!

Good location for Mayfair, discrete restaurant down a passage - a little dirty, great food, functional unobtrusive service. Will become a staple “ go to” restaurant.

Unfortunately on the whole it wasn't the greatest of experiences. It was full and by the looks of it with mostly repeat visitors by the way they were treated. We had to ask to order both drinks and our food and had to remind the staff to bring water. The starters were overpriced and the one my partner had (calamari) was overcooked and just warm. The main courses however I don't feel were overpriced and were very nice. Not once did the staff ask if our meals were ok. I was very disappointed, especially after all the great TripAdvisor reviews. I won't be going back but with so many other places to try in London, why would you.

Excellent, tasty and well cooked food together with attentive but unobtrusive service and a great ambience made for a much needed relaxing evening at the end of the working week.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. House red was nice and light. This was a working lunch and much was achieved despite the restaurant being quite noisy when full.

Superb food and service. A warm family run restaurant featuring classic southern Italian dishes which bring joys of La Mama’s cucina to St. James. What a great experience!

Casual trattoria on a side street off of Pall Mall. Compatently prepared food served by friendly staff. Waitress brought us a dish we had not ordered, but that was the only glitch.

A friendly family run Italian restaurant with good food and a warm atmosphere. An unpretentious and worthwhile meeting place if what you are looking for is a low key restaurant which celebrates good Italian food.
