This is a restaurant of dreams...dreamed by the owners and the people who work here to make it just perfect. Warm, welcoming, incredible value, incredible fresh food and thought through wine list (I looked though I didn't drink on this occasion). It made me want to move to Barnes with my whole family. People come her for generations and I can see why.

Everyone who has been here knows it is packed every night of the week when open. It is the best restaurant in Barnes hands down. If you don’t know where it is it is easy to miss but a true gem with the magic ingredients to make it a favorite for locals and chefs.

Having been denied a number of last minute reservations as they have always been fully booked, we finally decided to book in advance and we didn’t regret it at all. We were afraid it could be slightly pretentious, but it was far from it. It was homely, with lovely service, with delicious and generous portions of beautiful Italian staples and the quality of it really reflected good value. We booked table again while paying the bill. Thank you and see you soon.
