“ Right outside Paddington Station, near the Canal, is this awesome place, run by an amazing person called Natalia. Her recommendations on the Pizza and the Beer to go with it were spot on! The service was super fast too. The Pizza was (very) thin crust and just fab. When we asked for Oregano to put on it, she politely pointed out that Oregano would kill the Rosemary flavour and encouraged us to try it without that. I'm glad we did! She was right! That Rosemary didn't need anything else. She runs a great team and this is a place simply NOT to be missed. ”

“ Went in on the off chance I could Order some takeout pizza’s (long day shopping and wanted to crash in hotel). Natalia was a hero! She was really considerate during a busy service and I felt like I was the only person in the restaurant. The level of service was impeccable.The pizza’s were fab and we had the best carpet picnic and a game of cards in our hotel room. Thanks again Natalia :) ”
“ Very good place to taste Italian food in Paddington area. We went for dinner and the atmosphere was great. The food is good, but the service exceeded our expectations. Natalia was our waitress, and she looked after every detail, asking us whether we had any allergy and whether we enjoyed the dinner. ”

“ Absolutely delicious food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere! The fresh pasta made on-site was outstanding – you can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive; we felt well taken care of from start to finish. We were there with our 2-month-old baby, and even he was warmly welcomed – something we really appreciated. A special shout-out to Jacek – he's simply irreplaceable! We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. ”
“ Can't wait to go back- fun and creative food plating and flavors. Loved the garlic butter "candle" served with delicious pizza crust. The pasta and pizza were amazing- and for dessert the special was candy floss over panna Cotta ”
