I was so pleased when I came across this place, I've been looking for it since I moved to London.

It's a very small space and every nook and cranny is used, even when it gets busy it still feels relaxed and cosy.

It's spanish influence is clear but not over done, the cakes and pastries are delicious. The wine is ok but get here early to get a seat, because once you've sat down you won't want to leave.I was so pleased when I came across this place, I've been looking for it since I moved to London.

truly a hidden gem! there's a beautiful, secluded courtyard from which to sip your coffee (but i warn you there's a long climb down the stairs, so be careful if balance and hot beverages sounds dangerous!)

It has a really humble feel and the velvet chairs, old wood and dripping candles that stand in old wine bottles gives it that intimate-"when the moon hits your eye"-feel.

Think Lady and the Tramp. Think spaghetti bolognese. Think sharing it.

They play very soft, almost subtle music and, saying this, I've only realised there's music playing a few times.

Most days open until 10pm its a must-see.
If only they sold spag bol to share...truly a hidden gem! there's a beautiful, secluded courtyard from which to sip your coffee (but i warn you there's a long climb down the stairs, so be careful if balance and hot beverages sounds dangerous!)

Don't eat here.
It is awful and the service is apalling.
Not only that I and others have been ill from eating here.Don't eat here.
