Before I write this review.. I shall mention that this was the place we decided to go to after we had horrible service at Peking Seoul.
But Wow. Just.. WOW.. This place is kind of like a hole in the wall. Friggin amazing! Me and my friend was craving italian food, and one of the best places I found was Kitchen Italia in Covent Garden, but we didn't want to go out of our way... so we decided to just walk around the Paddington area and found this place.
Food:
Upon entering, the place looked like any other typical shop.. or so I thought. I sat down and noticed the decor, and the place had a very homely feel. Instantly, we were greeted by the waitress and the chef. They were all VERY VERY helpful. I was friggin starving and wanted to eat, but everything sounded really good.
So I ended up asking the waitress and she had recommended me the Tortalini Funghi 5.45 quid (Tortalini filled with cheese, fresh mushrooms in a creamy sauce. DELICIOUS. The best I have EVER had. The pasta was fresh as in it was just cooked, and tasted homemade and not straight from the freezer.
Also as a side, I had garlic bread which was 2.50 quid for 4 thick slices that was melt in your mouth delicious! I would recommend asking for a side of pesto and spreading it on top of the bread.
The minced meat pastry I thought was decent.. but it felt very filling.
My friend had ordered a salami on ciabatta bread. The salami was SUPER fresh and tasty. Every bite was full of goodness.
I was very curious how their portions were at their price... but it turned out that we had alot more than what we asked for. Our bill's total turned out to be 20 quid. 10 quid each? Not bad at all.. and we left STUFFED. I would recommend ordering 2 main dishes, garlic bread, and drinks... your bill will be about 14-16 quid. Not a bad deal at all.
Service:
Top notch. Anything I asked for, was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. I really had appreciated it, because Peking Seoul had me pissed off. They really lightened my mood.
There is only one thing I dislike about this place is the restroom accommodation. It's literally in the corner and you have to get past people by asking them to scoot in so you could open the door. I'm sure they could deal with one less table. But that's okay, they still deserve a 5 star rating! read more
