Summary
This “very traditional Italian” in a prime Hampstead spot “hasn’t changed much (except the prices)” for the past three decades. Its enviable location, tucked away off the main drag, explains much of its appeal, as does a “formal but un-snooty” style that’s not to all tastes, but helps attract “lots of buzz (and some celebs!)”. Some fans applaud the fare as “well-cooked in generous portions”, others say it’s merely “fair”.

Summary
“Old-style Italian” whose popularity is underpinned by its gorgeous central Hampstead location and comfortable, retro decor. Fans acclaim it as a “top-end” destination of some accomplishment: those with less rose-tinted glasses say “it’s a nice place to sit, but with overpriced and variable food that’s no better than a tourist venue in Italy itself”.
Summary
This stalwart Hampstead Italian is “a reassuring time warp” for fans, bowled over by its hyper-cute village location and ’70s-style glamour. A fair assessment is that “it’s not bad, not brilliant – just a nice place to be”.
