Harden's says
Owned and operated by a family with roots in Sicily-via-New York, on an ex-Wagamama site in Dean Street, Soho, this new venture serves classic Stateside Italian dishes such as spaghetti with meatballs from a family recipe, chicken Parm, penne all vodka and Caesar salad.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“So much fun!” – this big (180-seat), buoyant Soho yearling has something for everyone and seems to be carving out something of a niche for birthday celebrations, which often feature in reports. Decked out like a retro US-style Italian, it serves an easygoing and affordable mix of pizza, pasta (e.g. spaghetti with meatballs) and creamy puds. (“Had my 50th celebration here. Our waiter was very attentive considering our large group of 12. Ambience is fun and lively, others were having birthday celebrations too as I could hear the waiting team singing happy birthday to them too!”)
Summary
From a family with roots in Sicily-via-New York – on a big, 180 seat, ex-Wagamama site in Soho – this retro US newcomer serves classic Stateside Italian dishes such as spaghetti with meatballs, chicken parm, penne alla vodka and Caesar salad. It’s a big hit on social media, but our early feedback is more cautious: “one of the hot places of the moment, it was hard to book, loud and buzzy; but the food’s no more than hearty comfort food”.
For 34 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).
