Unsettled early-days reports on this large and “noisy” Soho basement bar/restaurant; service is notably “assured”, though, and the Italian cooking is generally rated “decent” or better.

A local Italian, serving “challenging” dishes, but is overall “a bit confusing”. “It’s easy to see that the kitchen can do better” and Jay feels “it had better… because it’s trading in a very crowded, unforgiving market”.

7.5/10
“Sensational Italian newcomer” where money is “exceptionally well spent”. It’s “refreshing to find a simple, confident menu of a single cuisine”, and the interior is “a low-ceilinged room, with rather attractive mismatched [furniture]” (but “ghastly” art).
