This restaurant is incredible and of course they are now on the Michelin Guide.
Everything was so delicious! We really loved the appetizers and especially the crudo seasoning was very well done. Milk bread is a must order. Pasta was amazing. Dessert ended up being pretty standard but maybe another option would’ve worked better for us.
Really can’t wait to visit again already!
Some of the best bites I’ve had this year!
Everything was extremely yummy. Every dish had a depth of flavour that can only be achieved when the chef and team really love the art of cooking.
The service was also fantastic. From the moment you walk in, front of house is warm and helpful. Servers are also so friendly and enthusiastic. We were also given an extra dish of tomato pasta because they said we looked so excited! Nice touch :) That tomato pasta ended up being our favourite dish!
We loved the entire experience so much that when we finished the meal, we immediately made our next reservation with front of house!

This restaurant completely exceeded my expectations, everything is incredible!
From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless. The service was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, and the food was outstanding from start to finish.
The menu offers plenty of choice, and every dish we ordered was exceptional. The standout from the raw bar was the hamachi, especially the sauce, which was absolutely perfect.
The risotto with clams and peas deserves a special mention. It was easily one of the best risottos I’ve had in London, if not the best. It genuinely tasted like something you’d be served in Liguria, Italy.
And I can’t finish this review without mentioning dessert. The chocolate cake with ice cream, their take on a chocolate fondant, was incredible. Perfectly molten, rich without being too heavy, and the ideal way to end the meal.
Considering how much we ordered, the prices felt very reasonable and offered excellent value for the quality.
A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Surprised to find they had halal options! There was a couple dishes that wasn’t to my liking but that is solely down to preference as my sisters liked every dish we ate. Customer service is amazing staff wonderful, food (that I liked) delicious. There was a little wait between dishes but then again the restaurant was full. Definitely will return

Really good food and service! The portions are on the smaller side so just a heads up on that front. But overall very nice atmosphere and vibes too. The tortellini truffle was incredible. Would definitely recommend getting this, me and all the people I was with, agreed it was fantastic.
I would say they do honour the Japanese and Italian combination, I was sceptical at first but they did a really good job pulling together the flavours.
The milk bread should also get an honourable mention!
The rest of the food was decent, but we only had a handful items from the menu.
