  • Good food, interesting wines and a charming atmosphere. A rare find for those who like cheerful informality rather than the starched table cloths usually found at this price point.

  • Very good quality fish indeed, I had a prawn dish that was out of this world. Everything is of a very good standard. It has a lovely atmosphere and is great as a wine bar. even if it is a bit cramped (the barrels/seats are pretty uncomfortable). But it does not get five stars for its restaurant as it is a bit too expensive. Definitely worth it if you dont mind the cost.

  • NOT Italian cuisine,high prices and the fish is not cooked the Italian way. perhaps in the Japanese way? not chance Japanese sushi is totally another thing. I am an Italian chef so I think to know something about italian cuisine,but if you go there you will not eat anything that remotely resembles the Italian cuisine. you will just waste your money...AVOID......only the owner is italian...the kitchen staff is not 'Italian they have not got a clue how to cook fish on italian way.....the fish is not tasty.....save your money for a better one. even the britsh can do better than Pescheria Mattiucci....fish and chips much better! Ristorante assolutamente da evitare,come cuoco non posso definirlo ristorante italiano,pesce fresco ma cucinato in un modo non italiano,il pesce viene servito crudo o semicrudo anche se si ordina un piatto di pesce cucinato......forse volevano imitare la moda del sushi ma non ci sono riusciti.....il sushi lasciamolo ai giapponesi........il servizio e' scadente,e i prezzi sono molti alti per le schifezze che ti portano al tavolo.........calamari ripieni di verza rossa,che come si sa' ha un sapore dolciastro.....abbinamento sbagliato e senza nessun sapore di pesce,anzi il sapore della verza rossa e' predominante........il cuoco sicuramente non ha nessuna idea di abbinamenti e di sapori italiani.....solo pura fantasia e pure di cattivo gusto. Evitatelo mi ringrazierete Carlo

  • I actually agree with all the comments done about the staff. i ordered for lunch the dish they serve (at £13) Grilled Cuttlefish With Zuccini. At such a price, i thought it would have to be all together a good experience. it was bistro food. It is not Rocket Science to grill cuttlefish, and in addition, when i was served a diminutive plate of food, there were black filaments in place of the zuccini, when I asked nicely "sorry, the menu said zuccini" the waiter stared at me as if i was wrong and told me: "this is aubergine". Da! I know what that small piece of vegetable is (although it was just the skin of an aubergine!) When I tried to explain that obviously " I was expecting Zuccini" he said "we dont have zuccini!" (well, why then you put it on the menu in first place?!). I ate it because it was my lunch and I am not a hassle maker...but as said in some of my comments, I thought "what was that....! " when I went out! i think the service was also bad. The waitress was rude and acting with superiority (so not Portobello Oriented...) and the Waiter/cook was like a kid... he seemed even more lost than I with my cuttlefish without zuccini. Very disappointing. The Aubergine was not home made.... and the cuttlefish was fine, just grilled... so? £13 pounds? and also with an attitude? Not so much! Never more.

  • Forget the service comments above. Real Italian fresh seafood, as authentic and tasty as served here, is unparalled in London. For the size of the place, and the quality, you have to pay.

  • I stumbled across this restaurant recently and thought it was a real gem. All the food was really well cooked and the service was friendly enough. The wine was a perfect compliment too. The only grumble I have is the price. A tapas size portion ranged from £10 to £20 and we both left still feeling hungry and having parted with £100! Definitely go if you are not watching the pennies.

  • The hostess of this place is aggressive, rude and pushy. The dishes are overpriced and not that great - they are good but not amazing! I will never go back there again. I walked out thinking "What the hell was that?"
