    TL:DR I was little disappointed. 2/5 from my single dine-in experience. Note: I have ordered takeaway from here before, that experience was much better. The atmosphere is lovely - 4/5. Toilets are little cramped, but serviceable and clean. Dining area is clean, homely and not too cramped. I had the soup of the day (mixed vegetable) - lovely clear soup, is was obvious it was made fresh. Nothing complicated or special, good portion. Would have been nice if it maybe came with bread - but not a big issue. 3.5/5 For mains, I had the lasagne. It was sadly unseasoned and bland. I could only taste the grated parmesan on top. The bachamel was a little underseasoned, the ragu was not seasoned at all. The ragu was also a little watery, leaving large pools of liquid at the top of the dish. 1.5/5 I did voice my concerns initially with the lasagne, I was asked if I wanted more pepper. However, when I pressed the matter at the end of the meal, the waiter said that Italian food was generally bland. I would strongly disagree with this, and I have actually ordered takeaway from here previously - the Spaghetti allo scoglio (seafood spaghetti), which was a strong 4.5/5. I was little reassured when the waiter said they would raise it with the chef, as there possibly was an issue with the batch. I think this might be the case, as many other reviews suggest this is normally a strong dish. Rating due to dismissive concerns of waiter and (possible one-off experience) poor experience from what should be a classic dish. Vegetarian options: Excellent variety of vegetarian options available on the menu

    A great local gem in West Putney. The food is great and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is always excellent and the staff is really good. It has a lot of classic Italian music playing in the background. We had an amazing birthday dinner with our friends. We come here often and we recommend it to everyone.
