He definitely wasn't aware of his surroundings. The restaurant took care of him and have him a drink and a table. I really appreciated that a lot.

They offer espresso drinks (hot/iced), bottled sodas, waters, beers. There is usually a fresh baked pastry or two on the counter. The grocery section has jarred foods and sauces, dry pastas, grains, fresh produce, bread. There is a reach in freezer with cups of Gelato ice cream from a local company called Gelupo. I had the Sour Cherry Riccotta and the Bitter Chocolate. Both were to die for. Chocolate will never be the same for me again after this cup. I will have dreams with it for years to come. They sell chocolate bars as well. The Rococco ones are made in London. Perfect small gift to bring home with you. There are about 10 tables outside plus few benches and picnic tables across the street. There is a wonderful community garden also across the street with additional seating and lovely shaded areas to relax in. Italo offers free WiFi for it's customers, by the way. Ask for the code or look for it in chalk on the walls. I believe they open around 11am and close around 6 or 7pm but it really depends on the volume of sales for the day. Wonderful place with wonderful people. We enjoyed our time spent here very much. Thank you Italo.

If you want anything beyond a main, you'll be paying more than 6. The food is solid - pastas and salads nice, sandwiches better than what you'll get out of a Tesco pack or up the road at Henri's. The desserts are excellent, as well. Be prepared for a sugar crash after lunch, of course, but so worth it. Regarding service, think good cop, bad cop. Usually one really nice guy working, and one grump who takes some massaging. If you're in a bad mood, these guys typically won't make it any better, and you may want to take a pass on the place. If you're in a good mood, this is a great spot for lunch. Coffe is crap - don't bother. There's no genuinely good coffee in Oval area, so just get a Nespresso for the office and stop trying to find it at indy places like this. Finally, don't forget that this place is pretty pricey for a lunch spot. Big portions, good taste, but expensive.

Still, nothing seemed so special that I would call this place extraordinary.

The Sainsbury's opposite the station is overpriced and can get a bit boring at times as they are limited to what they stock.

Save yourself a bundle and pop down there to grab your lunch stuff instead of Sainsbury's. No need for me to spend a fortune on household items when they are around the corner. On the plus side, because they are not by Waterloo Station's entrance, they are never as busy as you'd expect which makes shopping there extremely relaxing!

All of these things sell out very quickly so get there early before the lunch queue starts at 12! The bread for the sandwiches which are made to order in front of you comes from Sally Clarke bakery so you know the quality will be good.

The store its-self is quite large, much larger than most LittleWaitrose stores I've seen in the past, including ones local to my home such as Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Spinningfields, this store is in a way similar to a foreign style supermarket in terms of size, bigger than a convenience store, but smaller than an average supermarket. The stock range was OK - range of most item was small such as gluten-free and ready to eat food, perhaps this was because of the time of night I visited or the fact they are trying to offer a small amount of more things, such as having a selection of sandwiches and a selection of other snacks rather than a larger selection of sandwiches. They even had a sushi bar in the store, and with all due respect, I honestly don't know if it is needed in a store of its' size and the nature of the store. They also didn't sell Coca-Cola Zero, which I wanted to buy as I had a voucher which expires soon. The staff didn't seem as friendly as other Waitrose stores, they were just okay.
