4.5 The place smells very nice. Since 1992? Impressive for a burger place. Food tastes decent despite the location.

Beef is a little overcooked from medium both for the steak and the burgers. But still tender and not too dry. The patties are also of decent thickness. The buns are lovely. Today’s steak comes with a tasty Gorgonzola sauce, which goes well with the chips (which could be crispier). The duck foie gras tastes amazing, so is the toast.

The orange crepe is quite unique. Refreshing and not too sweet.

Surprisingly nice Korean food in the small and intimate restaurant. Good value for central London.

Raw beef dolsot bibimbap is my first time and it looks and tastes fresh.

Budae jigae is tasty, though I hope there were more veggies.

Bean sprouts are nicely cooked.

The other dishes also look good.

Love the honest menu with little pictures. Food came quite fast for our large group :)

240406 Amazing taste and staff.

Pastas are wonderful with beautiful sauces. I adore Spaghetti Gamberoni e Gorgonzola <3 That Gorgonzola sauce is wonderful. Cheesy, rich, full of Italian blue cheese flavor, with a little chili. The prawns are a bit limited in numbers.

Seafood linguine is also great. I was worried about taking two similar pastas, but this one is distinct. The white wine sauce is fragrant and tastes delightful as well.

Albertini pizza deserves its name— beautifully topped with prosciutto, with a thin crispy bottom, and light yet present tomato. (First impression: pizza smells so aromaric and the pizza chefs are very friendly. So why not order pizza with friends to share XD Pizzas are nice indeed.

Affogato comes with really good espresso, the aroma, balance, and depth are outstanding for a restaurant.

Tiramisu is fluffy and moist and not too sweet or heavy. The presentation is cute but it’s a little difficult to dig into the best part at the bottom.

Tartufo Nero is my first try and very interesting. It looks like a semifreddo of many layers. Not too sweet either. The zabaglione has a hint of sweet liqueur taste and a dark chocolate core. Added to my favorite desserts!

I am so happy to have brought my friends here and try and enjoy the good food together. The portions are generous. Looking forward to coming back again either by myself or with others ^^

The restaurant is spacious, good for larger groups and intimate occasions. Service is friendly and helpful.

Quick lunch at the end of the street.

Chirashi doesn’t have a lot of fish slides, but the selection with is fairly nice, with scallops and botan shrimp. The rice is good. The grains are slightly sticky and bouncy and subtly sweet.

Tamagoyaki is actually the highlight. I don’t usually appreciate it in chirashi bowls because they take the space of more expensive fish cuts, but this is one of the best tamagoyaki I’ve had— Eggy, earthy, not too sweet at all.

The seaweed salad exceeds my expectations. It isn’t the usual thin seaweed strings and there are refreshing radish pieces. The ume shiso dressing has a prominent shiao flavor, though I’d prefer the it to be less sweet and more citrusy/sour.

Service is minimal and minimalist. It’s lunch time and everyone is in a rush. I didn’t even have time to request less rice.

It’s a little odd to be the only person placed at the sushi bar but I do enjoy watching the chefs.

It’s a bliss that the restaurant is walk-in only — a fair game for wanderers in the busy summer season. We were able to register our phone number and waited in the parking lot nearby :P Food is mostly good, rounded to almost 5 because of the friendly service.

Lamb Ragu gnocchi combines two of my favorite things. Lamb is cooked tender with lean and tendon parts, full of flavors. The gnocchis are huge (larger than the lam chunks!), al dente, a little cheesy and bouncy. Makes me so happy.

Special seafood risotto is wonderful too. Rice is also perfectly cooked, with a little chewiness. Chimichurri tastes more like pesto but delicious nonetheless. Shrimps and squid pieces are nice. The mussels can be a little plumper and fresher. It’s probably frozen— acceptable for the price, though it will help elevate the restaurant (and all non-fine dining Italian restaurants) if fresh products are used in pasta and risotto dishes.

Hazelnut tiramisu is one of the best tiramisu I’ve had. The mascarpone layer is supper fluffy and airy— and hazelnut flavored! The base layer is well soaked in espresso. White chocolate biscotti is a little too sweet.

Ice creams are too sweet.

Garlic aroma was wafting out of the kitchen so we ordered garlic bread. It can be a bit more garlic but the good side is that it’s not too oily either.

Honey mustard wings and olives are alright.

Service is very friendly and helpful.
