Good wine, great food. Beetroot salad, pizza, and you have to try the cheese puffs We didn’t make a reservation so we’re sat at a tall table with stools near the door and under the speaker, but totally our fault, the rest of the seating looks lovely

Delicious food with a nice atmosphere. Perfect for a date. Highlight was the Oyster mushrooms and celeriac with egg yolk! Pretty good value for money.

Chef’s Kiss. The food was exceptional. I enjoyed every dish. My stand out favourite was the beef carpaccio. The service was also fantastic. Elliot’s might just be my new favourite restaurant. Overall this was a truly magical experience.

Incredible, fresh ingredients and food! The appetisers were delicious and the sourdough pizzas are great! Do not miss out on the cheese burst and cheesecake!!

Everything we ordered, even the bread and chips, were necessary & memorable, and the staff was nice as well! Would recommend & return 100%

Delicious quality of food. Presentation was brilliant and the cocktails were delicious. Loved the experience of learning what the menu would be that afternoon, as we arrived for opening on Sunday. Loved the whole theme of the menu and what we tried. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and lovely. I appreciate the effort and consideration they put into our food and dining experience. Very grateful and will be sure to come back again soon!

Had a really lovely birthday dinner here with my partner. Some of the best service I've received in London. Waitress remembered our choice of water, brought a drinks menu whenever we looked at her as if she could read our minds. To top it off the foods really good too! Low-key, anchovy toast was the highlight. Highly recommended & can't wait to go back

I recently dined at your restaurant and had a fantastic experience. Here's a breakdown of my visit: Overall Rating: 5/5 Pizza Carbonara: - Comments: The pizza carbonara was exceptional—truly something out of this world. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Steak: - Comments: The steak was also superb. It was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Tiramisu: - Comments: The tiramisu was just okay, but considering the overall experience, it didn’t detract much from my enjoyment. In conclusion, this is the best Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. Highly recommended!
