Harden's survey result
Summary
This neighbourhood Italian of almost 30 years’ standing in a Wapping warehouse conversion “never disappoints” with its food and service, but “it’s the lively atmosphere that really sells it”, drawing a “great mix of local families and couples just getting together”.
Summary
“If you want a family Italian restaurant look no further”, say fans of this trattoria and pizza favourite of two decades standing at the foot of a Wapping warehouse conversion: “supported by locals and always busy”.
Summary
“Huge portions and great Italian family vibes” have ensured this Wapping trattoria has remained a “real neighbourhood favourite” for more than 20 years. The “very large portion sizes” mentioned by almost every reporter mean only one thing: bring your hungriest, greediest teenagers along.
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.
For 33 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).
