There isn't much around the station but this place is literally across the street. Usually, that would mean it probably couldn't be that great, I was totally wrong! We walked in and there's a long hallway that leads to the open kitchen and restaurant. There is a definite warmth and coziness about the place, it feels like a neighborhood spot! The host was welcoming and was able to squeeze us in without a reservation. Menus were produced and drink orders taken quickly. All the Italian staples were there and it was great that some of their pastas were even homemade! While the pasta was tempting (always in the mood for pasta), one look at their pizza oven pretty much solidified our decision to get one of their pizza offerings. To balance the pizza, we ordered a Caprese salad (£5.50). The salad was light and fresh and a great start to our meal. Since we knew we would be having more food with our friends, we only ordered one pizza. The Capricciosa consisted of tomato sauce, mozzarella, ham, mushrooms, artichokes & olives (£10.95) and came to our table piping hot. They had even cut the pizza in half and placed it on two plates since they knew we were sharing. That's service we rarely see in London! The crust was thin, crispy and slightly sweet - really good. The toppings were all fresh and the cheese was perfectly melted. Everything was reasonably priced, fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and on point. From start to finish this was a great meal. Sadly, we don't live anywhere near here or this would definitely become our regular go to for Italian.

We went for lunch and had a lovely, friendly server and while the food wasn't mega quick you get the impression that's because it's being prepared freshly (I think I spied an actual nonna in the kitchen on the way to the toilet) and in any case we managed to have negronis, some (very nice) courgette fritters plus our mains and wine in 1h15. The pasta dishes were great - the owners of the restaurant are aiming to bring the taste of Emilia-Romagna to London and in my opinion they are really succeeding. The pappardelle with wild boar ragu was decadent comfort food and my friend was equally delighted with her burrata and truffle tortellini (what a combo!). Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. Highly recommend and I will return at the next opportunity!

I had the unfortunate luck to work for Simone Remoli for a sort period of time, he loves to take employees from other jobs to try them out and then fire them after he finds someone better (basically playing with peoples lives). Just to enlighten everyone his pasta is NOT freshly made everyday and neither is the sea food that some people order with their pasta dishes, the proper name for it is like my favourite chef Gordan Ramsey likes to say it's all FRESH FROZEN. Simone Remoli could have been an inspiration to the italian food but unfortunately he is a gluttonous and egotistic person that will serve you food that has been sitting in his fridges for 5 days and freezes for months, with prices that are sky high. If any food inspectors see this review please be my guest and go forth to inspect his food. Make sure you go unexpectedly that is the best time.

The ragu had a delicious meatiness to it that was the perfect sauce pairing with the pasta folds.

I came in for a pre-dinner drink and asked for a gin martini (which, for the record, is on the menu for a whopping 15 pounds). I asked if they could make it with Tanqueray and the man said sure. He said they didn't have any olive brine which I said was fine. He then asked if I was American (I am but just moved here) and he made a comment about how much Americans love martinis. I was like okay sure, but this can't be that strange here given London's reputation with gin. Anyway, I'll spare the details, but basically he makes me a martini. While he's making it, I notice he puts in a bizarre amount of dry vermouth (a lot) which I took as a miscommunication because I had asked for it dry and maybe he doesn't know that means light vermouth? I taste it and I KNOW it's horrible wrong. It occurs to me, several sips in, that he thinks Martini and Rossi dry vermouth = a martini....I'm drinking straight dry vermouth. I didn't finish it, overpaid for my glass of dry vermouth, and left. I've had a hard time finding a gin martini in london given the prevalent pub scene but this place had one on the menu! I wouldn't fault them if they didn't, but come on....that's pretty bad. Man was lovely otherwise this would be a hard one star review unfortunately.
