Food was pretty good, service excellent. Interested to see who has replaced one of my old favourites, Fino and I wasn't disapointed. The layout has changed in my view for the better, although for anyone visiting for the first time, 33 Charlotte Street is actually on Rathbone Street!
Excllent menu with all plenty of classic Italian dishes, great service and lovely food. This place is simply stunning. What makes it so stunning are the beautiful staff, flawless service and expertly executed dishes. This is not just another Italian. These guys use their best know how and the best ingredients and create something so mouthwatering I nearly overdosed on food and still wanted to keep going.
Being a basement restaurant it feels cool and secluded and as such guests are seated all around the restaurant giving a much more spacious feeling.
All staff could not offer enough expert advice about the menu and drinks and always keen to assist without ever being overpowering. Hidden gem that needs to be unveiled. Very quiet quite a big space and only one other couple dining when we were there , but we had booked quite early 5pm - there were a few more people when we left at 7pm.
Waiter was very attentive sometimes a bit too much but we were his only table. Food was tasty and arrived in good time. Overall really enjoyed the setting, food and value and staff were friendly and helpful.
Good food and excellent service, good value too. My friend wasn't happy with too aldente pasta though. Great value with promotional offers. Octopus starter was a generous, delicious serving. Ossobuco was delicious and again a good size with mash. The only area that could do with adjusting is the overly efficient service - taking plates before both diners finished and main course arriving too quickly after starter.
This new restaurant has very good italian food and the staff knew their stuff. Very friendly and welcoming. Very comfortable environment, love the pasta and the cocktail there. Had a nice time with my girl.
The food was really good, but my friend's ossobucco was really fatty. The wine list is a little pretentious, and it's a shame that the cheapest bottle is French, not Italian.
Service was poor, except for the Manager who was running everywhere and served every table at some point. I hope you fix that soon, because the food suffered from it. An excellent lunch - many thanks. I live the way the restaurant looks. Lots of detailed things within. Ambience was lovely!! I think in time some of the staff will get use to how things work in a restaurant. I think every staff should have their own recommendations for when a customer asks. We had what looked almost like a manager as he was in a suit, very welcoming!!
Asked if we were okay during our visit. Main portions slightly small but very tasty. Proper Italian - beef carpaccio was delicious, pasta properly dente and overall very nice. The starter dishes are also suitable for tapas style dining.
Great little find just off Charlotte Street. Great service, food and ambience. Will definitely go again. And reasonably priced too. I almost never leave reviews. But this restaurant was fantastic. Food was incredibly tasty and great quality. Nice prossecco too. Lovely staff, good food and I hope they get the success they deserve. We did the set menu, food was excellent and portion size was very generous, staff were very friendly.
I will go again. Two of us for a business lunch. Attentive and efficient service. We both ordered hand made pasta but chosen different sauces to go with it. The pasta was fresh, had the right texture and was cooked well. The sauce was very tasty and light, clearly made with fresh ingredients, including the tomatoes. A side of green been was cooked just right and dressed in melted butter.
I will go back. I love eating and cooking Osso Bucco double c so ordered it. Besides having a marrow bone it bore little resemblance to the classic Italian dish. The meat was obviously cooked separately and not connected to the bone. The risotto was bright yellow, not flavoured and coloured with saffron but some cheaper colouring. I asked for gremolata and got micro herbs. We won't be returning. Brilliant food and great service. Definitely be coming back.
