• Contemporary Italian • King's Cross
Booked 14 times today
Had an incredible dinner here with a group of six, and everything was spot on from start to finish. The atmosphere is buzzing, the hospitality is top-tier, and the food and drinks completely delivered. Special shout-out to the Negroni genuinely world-class and perfectly balanced and the tartare, which was an absolute standout. A brilliant spot for groups looking for great food, exceptional drinks, and a wonderful vibe. Can't wait to return!
