Authentically Italian! Excellent ambience and service was top notch. Have to book as it’s heaving in here. We had to wait a little while for our table to be ready but was worth it. The seafood pasta could have had a little more seafood. The squid ink pasta was on the drier side but the sauce was delicious and had a good depth. Mussels were plump and stewed in a tangy white wine sauce. Calzone was deep filled and had a crispy crust.

Underground hotpot restaurant. Very good value authentic hotpot. £22pp for unlimited hotpot.
They don’t take card, only cash or bank transfer.
You can choose up to 4 different broths, we went for the chicken and hot and spicy broths which were good.
