Where do I begin? Absolutely terrible. Do not go, the pizza express down the road is a much better way to spend your time.Myself and my girlfriend have walked past this restaurant a fair bit and finally gave it a try (very regrettably might I add), from the dull atmosphere to the terrible staff, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in London.We were interested when we saw they had tapas options of their main meals, so we wanted to try a few dishes between us. Of course we know tapas is smaller, but these portions were something. I want to add that the staff should’ve advised us how many to order, what’s good etc. we went for 5 options, which we thought would be fine, as this is pretty standard for most tapas options (2-3 per person).We ended up going for:Bruschetta- £5 for one tiny slice (I forgot to take a photo as we were laughing too much as it set the tone of what was about to come). The taste was average but I couldn’t get over how small it was, similar size to a Nokia phone.Chicken Meatball in sauce- £8- notice how I said meatball instead of meatballs. £8 for this? We were honestly trying to hold in our laughter when it arrived as we had joked about it before and couldn’t possible imagine it turning up like that. Taste was- 3/10 with what was definitely a jar of sauce. Presentation well, look…ONE MEATBALL?! For two people? Just let us know it’s only one, I wouldn’t have ordered it.Sautéed Potatos- £5- yes it’s cheap, but my god look at them, they look straight out of a freezer bag. Overcooked, disgusting and presentation…well the photo speaks for itself.Pizza- £10- we asked for the sourdough option, did not get it- the base was cold and tasted odd, as if it was a wholegrain wrap with tomato purée and cheese on top. Absolutely gross.Pasta- £10- This was the only dish worth having, nice pasta, decent tapas portion. I quite liked it. Although to the staff, I would ask if someone wants Parmesan (I did thankfully) before leathering it all over the top.Staff- 0/10- Wow where do I begin again, they seemed confused about their own menu? Got our order wrong. Never checked in to see if everything was okay with the food, even when you could see we were noticeably shocked when some of the food came. Started to clear our plates as we were half way through some of it, when we said we weren’t done, 2 members of staff looked as us as if we were speaking another language, we let them take the plates in the end as to be honest, we did not want the food anyway. Then had the cheek to ask for service charge at the end, which I paid as I just wanted to get out of that place as quick as I could. I appreciate people can be new to waitering, but multiple staff, on a quiet Monday night being this poor, was shocking and there was no noticeable manager there, if there had been I would’ve asked to speak with them.To top it off, we both had horrible stomach aches about 30 minutes after eating, a comment I have seen a few times in the reviews.Will never be returning, and I would advise any other people who see it online or have walked past and thought shall we give it a try, please don’t bother.

Fantastic service and delicious food. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My father is very allergic to garlic and the restaurant was so accommodating. Thank you.

Food was delicious. The Gazpacho is perfect on a warm evening. The calves liver was tender and very tasty, as was the bed of spinach. I ordered sauteed potatoes as well. One star knocked off service because they had lost my booking. And one off atmosphere because the couple sat right next to us were far too loud!

I work in the local area and went for lunch with some visiting colleagues, food, service and atmosphere was stunning. I would highly recommend. Will be going back again soon.

We went as a walk-in for dinner, and things started off well. We were immediately greeted and seated. The server took our drink orders and then gave us time to look over the menu. When we were ready to order, she was nowhere to be found. We had to flag down another server.We had the halibut and the lamb dinners. The lamb was not cooked to the right temperature, but I ate it instead of sending it back. It was not seasoned well. The other person in my party enjoyed their halibut.Now, the chocolate almond cake was amazing. It was so delicious, I wanted to lick the plate clean. It was a bit pricy but we enjoyed it overall.

An excellent restaurant price/quality. And very easy to park, but also well situated for public transport. We are regulars.

Such a favorite of mine, Ive never had a bad meal here. For good simple well cooked and presented Italian food with helpful no fuss service. It can be a bit quiet early in the evening but it soon fills up and has a good atmosphere.

Iconic Italian restaurant on Fulham roadThe restaurant teleports you back to a small village in Italy where the food , wine, and staff are great!If you spot Riccardos red tent make sure you stop there for a nice lunch or dinner you won’t regret it !I would recommend the vongole linguini or their ravioli.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The pasta was lovely! Sorry I didn’t take a photo because I was so hungry. They have a very big lunch menu.

Always wanted to eat there and finally made it last night. We went in as walked in and there was availability. Customer service is excellent, Alexandro looked after is really well. The food was really tasty. Only negative thing i have to say is there was way too much oil in both the pasta dish we ordered and that’s a turn off. We will def go again for other dish as they looked really good.
