Harden's survey result
Summary
“Wapping’s favourite” for more than 20 years – this “classic local Italian trat” scores well for its “friendly service”, “and the food remains terrific”. There’s a recurrent complaint – rare elsewhere – that “portions are too large”, but to both management and happy regulars this is without doubt a badge of honour.

There’s a recurrent complaint – rare elsewhere – that “portions are too large”, but to both management and happy regulars this is without doubt a badge of honour.
Summary
This “enduringly appealing”, “family-run Italian in fashionable Wapping is always packed, so you have to book well ahead”. It’s “so noisy the children can’t be heard”, and the “old-style cooking (good pizzas and pasta) means no one leaves hungry” – in fact, “the only fault is that the servings are too large!”.
Summary
“Love the place!” – a fixture in Wapping, this “very traditional Italian” is “always thrumming, which gives it a terrific atmosphere”. “Always good value”, it’s “unchanged for years – including the waiters...”.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
