“ Lovely place with a cute outdoor space where it can be covered. Food is good and authentic and the wait staff is super friendly. Margarita is amazing so does the wine we got. But you must try their tiramisu! ”

“ Service was really great and the food was fantastic. It was in a super cute area of Chelsea as well. Would recommend. ”

“ This Italian place was absolutely amazing and it was my second Italian restaurant during my trip and I know this is the one I will definitely be returning to (the other Italian place was also great, but the quality of food here was on another level). Came as a last dinner before we head out back to America the next day and am so glad this place was chosen. We sat in the patio area and even though it was in January, it was warm enough for me to enjoy my food in comfort (each seat on the patio also had its own blanket for the legs (forgot what the fancy term for those are called) in case you get cold). If need be, the patio also has outside heaters you could request to be turned on. The table service was amazing and the menu was simple enough for me to understand and gave lots of size options (you can have the tapas version or the full entree version). NOTE TO VEGANS: They also have a vegan menu! In the end, I chose the insalata di spinaci (Raw spinach salad with prosciutto, avocado and parmesan) as my appetizer and the pappardelle con ragu di cervo (Home-made fresh pasta with stewed venison ragout) as my entree. The spinach salad was a little surprising since I am so used to the salad sort of being chopped and mixed for me, but hey, I can mix my own salad, and it shows how fresh the ingredients are -- they weren't even chopped which shows they were definitely at their rawest form which is a good thing. I poured enough balsamic vinaigrette to add a touch of flavor and the flavors were great--the spinach, avocado, prosciutto, and parmesan all with a hint of balsamic vinaigrette. And my first bite of the pappardelle con di cervo, I swear, I was about to cry, it was so amazing. So amazing, in fact, that I kept eating and totally forgot to take a pic of this masterpiece until after my fourth bite! It made me forget about Yelp reviews, so that I was solely there just for the food. Not many dishes have that effect! Will definitely be back when I'm in London and will be sure to try another dish; I'm positive no dish on their menu will disappoint. ”

“ I dined two tables over from Princess Kate Middleton! The restaurant had loads of accomplished and interesting people and it's no surprise because the menu has so many truly healthy options I could eat here every day and maintain a fit and healthy body. The owner, Riccardo, who is himself quite fit, introduced himself calmly and warmly making it evident this place was a family room for people who want exquisitely tasty food served at the very highest level of skill with ingredients that will keep them fashionable and energetic for a long life. I felt taking pictures of Kate would break the spell of royals and luminaries casually mixed in with those of us who have not yet made our mark in such a known way, but after completing my meal I googled "Kate Middleton Riccardo's" and saw a pile of paparazzi photos from earlier visits- apparently she is a regular and usually orders the tuna- which I happened to have that night and is healthy, delicious, and beautiful on the plate too. ”

“ Our favourite restaurant in London. Great food and drinks. Amazing in the summer with the open patio. ”

“ This was the best Italian we experienced in London. Add in the cozy atmosphere and the excellent service and you can understand why the restaurant quickly filled with locals. The lighting is low and there is a relaxed feeling. Come with the plan to eat like an Italian, relax and linger over your food. We passed around pasta so everyone could try each others. Not a mediocre one in the bunch. I had the prawn risotto. It was so creamy, just perfect and all the right flavors. We also had linguine with clams and pasta with sausage and marinara. The sauces were not heavy, all of the seafood was cooked well. The portions were a reasonable size, some other reviewers felt they were small. I was full, but not stuffed with no left overs. ”

“ This place is known for fabulous plates of pasta. They have a terrace in the front, but it's all closed in and warm enough for the winter. It's cozy and romantic, and also great for hilarious Chelsea people-watching. You'll enjoy their down-home appetizers, plates, of pasta, and little fuss. Gluten-free notes: Yes, this place lists gluten-free menu items on their menu and web site. When I was there, they had multiple (yes, multiple) different types of gluten-free and wheat-free pasta. You will eat well. ”

“ small portions. excellent food. wheat + gluten-free options too! recommended: chicken breast ”
