Summary
This “little slice of Italy with a sunny terrace” in Chelsea “attracts a loyal clientele” despite quite a widespread feeling that it’s nowadays “tired” and “without flair”. But those who are more forgiving feel it’s a “real antidote to the Italian-themed chains” with “always a great welcome” perhaps from the man himself: “people say the food’s hit and miss, but stick to the staples and all will be well”.
Summary
A “reliable if not exciting” Chelsea local which offers a “great choice of genuine Italian food and wine in an informal environment”. While nowadays it may not seem as notable as it once was, “it provides value for money” in a posh part of town.
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).
