Harden's says

In South Audley Street, Mayfair, the first Italian restaurant from Samyukta Nair (of Jamavar, Koyn, Socca et al) is designed as a family-oriented neighbourhood spot to drop in for a bite at any time of the day. Nipotina is Italian for ‘granddaughter’, and the venue is a tribute to her grandfather.

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).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

Evening Standard

David Ellis found a lot to like about the latest opening from Mayfair powerhouse Samyukta Nair – an all-day Italian that “exists to assuage stresses that exist only outside its door”. What he meant by this was extremely tasty Italian comfort food served in extremely tasteful surroundings.  

Everything about the place was “unmistakably Mayfair” –  apart from the attractive prices, which “appear to be from a very different part of town — not quite New Cross, but not far off.” On weekdays there’s a set lunch of two courses for £21, three for £25, and pizzas (“a strength”) start at £12, although as David pointed out, there are plenty of opportunities to spend up on the à la carte menu or the wine list.
