Great italian food
This is a lovely italian restaurant situated a minutes walk outside of the famous Market Square in Covent garden.

Its location is ideal if you fancy a smart casual dinner before visiting the West End - which is within walkable distance.

The people are very friendly and helpful, and the food is great - comparable to places like Pizza Express but slightly less commercial.

There is a quaint downstairs seating area which has lovely low lighting, although can get quite warm... especially after a few bottles!

All in all a great place to eat - I have been there on numerous occasions and keep going back!

Porters
I went to this restaurant last weekend - if you are looking for a quality english style meal then this place is brilliant!

We went as part of a meal and theatre deal - which was exceptionally good value! You are limited to a set menu from which you have to choose your food, but they included such things as pork and leek sausages, and steak could be ordered for a small supplement cost.

Plus - the puddings were fab! Syrup sponge pudding or summer fruits.

Presentation of food was good, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

If you don't want to eat, the bar/pub atmosphere was also good as there are two floors, so you can move away from all the diners completely. There was a good selection of very reasonably priced cocktails - I especially recommend the pina colada!

All in all, very enjoyable!
