http://www.london-eating.co.uk/23290.htm Osteria Antica Bologna Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating A lovely place with an imaginative menu and quietly friendly service. Delicious and well presented dishes and just overall a really calm, yummy atmosphere. No loud music or harsh lighting either. A sweet place. Enjoy! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm Truly wonderful, an unpretentious gem. What a joy to have an excellent non-chain restaurant still surviving amongst ridiculously increasing rents on the Northcote Road. Every time I go to this restaurant I'm reminded what a treat it is to find unpretentious but truly wonderful flavours in a restaurant that instantly transports one to Italy. ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm We chose Osteria Antica, as it was a sunny day, and we wanted to be al fresco. The service was attentive, and the time between courses was just right. Bread and olives to eat whilst looking at the menu. Queen scallops for starters, pasta with rabbit sauce, veal with parma ham and mozzarella cheese, and saute potatoes. Peroni beer, and house ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm Took my fiancee here a few months ago and was so disappointed. I've been coming here on and off for the past 10 years. The food used to be really delcious and value for money. On my last visit the food was bland, over priced and the service was less than attentive. Sadly, I will not be coming here again as there is a huge choice of much ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm 5 of us ate here midweek for my father's birthday. Interior straight out ot 1970's had a lot of charm at first glance. Service slow and distracted - eg attempted twice to take orders before our appetisers had arrived. Starters mixed - toasted artichoke and bresaola salad good, soup of the day - tasted like the day before yesterday's. Mains, ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm We love it. Earthy, flavoursome and inventive Italian menu; the Pappardelle verdi con ragu' Bolognese is as good as my mum's (my family is from Bologna!). The atmosphere is warm and cosy, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. We discovered the Osteria 6 years ago when my husband and I were still dating, now we take friends and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm We visited Osteria a number of times over the years and had some lovely meals, so I was a little worried when I saw some of the reviews as we were planning on meeting some friends there last weekend. We decided to ignore the reviews and go any way and I'm very glad we did. The service was very good, despite the restaurant being full, and the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm Not good. Went over a year ago and it was ok, tried it again on a Thursday night a year later but immediately regretted it, waste of £70. Starter of scallops was OK. My main of aubergine ravioli with a mussel sauce was cold (plates were cold as well which should never be the case). Sent it back and they put it in the microwave! My ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm My partner and I visited to this lovely and very Italian Style Restaurant yesterday for dinner and I am glad we did it. The food was delicious and very well presented. The service was friendly and professional. We will definitely be back. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm I read all the reviews about this restaurant and ignored them. I ignored them firstly, because about six months ago I enjoyed a superb seafood pasta here on a sunny Saturday, and second, because it is about 300 metres from my house. And a damn good thing it was to ignore those reviews. Okay, okay, the service did still have a few holes ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2358.htm
