Timo; Italian Restaurant 7th August 2008

This is a time-proven and well-established, professional restaurant of very high quality indeed. From the initial 'Buona Sera' to the farewell the client is treated as a welcome dignitary. This place has style.

Style and substance. The standard is very high and the ease of presentation belies the efforts to produce meals of this level of enjoyment. Calm grace and smooth efficiency are the trademarks.

An interesting wine list and a tantalising menu deserve an aperitif, such as Campari & Soda, whilst mulling over one's choices.

Intimate enough for a romantic get-together, efficient enough to impress a business associate as well as being relaxed enough to enjoy an hour or so of culinary delights.

This little gem of a restaurant is perfectly suited for the designer-clad masses of Kensington. Whilst it is thankfully not a place 'to see and be seen' it is always faultless in its welcome and the food rarely disappoints.

Went there again last Tuesday with a friend. (Be warned...the bread-basket is highly addictive!) The place is a not huge and a party of 20 at the back unfortunately made the place noisy, but my daily special of grilled tuna with sweet & sour vegetables was simple and done to perfection whilst my friend's duck was also beautifully cooked.

On previous trips I've also sampled some of their varied pasta dishes and they've always been wonderful.

Not the cheapest place in the world (meat/fish mains are £18-22 generally) but you can be fairly sure of good food, sophisticated atmosphere and great service. Good place for a special date or to business meal.
