Essenza

Went here last week. Service was terrible. No ambience whatsoever. When the restaurant got busy and we had finished our meals we were literally asked to leave. Would never go back after that one.

Poor service and mediocre food. Don’t waste you money and a meal out, there are plenty nice Italian restaurants in town.

My wife and I met another couple here for dinner not long ago. We had some nice starters (although we suspected the "burrata" was actually "mozzarella di buffala") and some very tasty pasta. Desserts were good. Three of four of us were Romans (a qualification to judge the food properly?) and we left satisfied, looking forward to return. I say give this place a try. Seems like honest, real Italian food.

Food was very average - atmosphere was stale to say the least.

Their are much better Italian restaurants in close vicinity.

I love this restaurant. Found it last Christmas by accident and have been back for special occasions since. Space while sitting is quite small - but isn't most places in London? Saturday nights I think they offer 'sitting' times - so they do want you to finish your dinner by a certain time - however your dinner will never be rushed! If you are in the neighbourhood - definitely worth a visit!!

The food is excellent, but the places to sit are so small that you hardly can eat at a normal way. Half an hour before the time you have to leave, they serve the dessert and coffee together...hurry, hurry and that is not a good way to have a dinner.
