Osteria Appennino

Food is OK and good value, but the staff are very dismissive and rude to anyone except the people they deem to be worthy of their attention. Unless you are on Mafiosi kissing terms with the maitre d, don't expect to get a table. We booked a table, and despite having pointed this out many times, they would not get us a table. Pasta is decent however. But there are many other choices in the Liverpool Street area.

My favourite restaurant. Warm, friendly, excellent pizza - just the place to relax away from the stress of the city!

This restaurant serves delicious food. All the ingredients are imported from Italy, and it's all very fresh. The service could be better, but the price couldn't. Great value for what you get. This is by far the best food value for the money I have seen in London.

Wednesday night, 7.30pm. It was full at around 8pm so I would suggest a prior booking. The food was good and value for money. It was pretty cool being able to see the chefs strutting their stuff, the service was friendly although there were a few communication problems and a bit slow but this may have been down to a party that had arrived. I would go again but avoid it if there were any parties booked.

I have eaten at this restaurant on several occassions, mainly at lunch. It is simple but wonderful italian home cooking at it's best. It is suitable for both personal and business (my clients love it too). Has a lively atmosphere.
