Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A friend and I visited on the 9th March as we love going out for dinner around canary wharf and Greenwich and we love Italian. A few people I know had been before and highly rated it. We both love Italian food and it did...not disappoint. The servings sizes were great value for money, the food was super tasty and wine and cocktails were fab. The waitresses were super attentive, both Meher and Teya. Even gave us some suggestions where we were not sure due to the large selection. The sweet potatoe fries were the best I've had (pics does not do it justice) There was also a brilliant selection of vegan mains and starters. The pesto pasta was lovely! Truffle aranchini balls were incredible. I will definitely visit again when in the area 😀More

We went here for dinner. The food was very good and the service. The restaurant gave us a free Tiramasu and Panna Cotta which was a very nice touch. The desserts were amazing. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

I am afraid there were many dishes unavailable, service wasn't great, and I think prices are high for what we got. Dishes just weren't that tasty. No atmosphere although we ate early. Sorry but need to write this as other reviews are glowing and do...not sum up our experience..More

You couldn’t organise it better. It was all perfect. We would also like to say Big Thank You to Narcisa for looking after us the whole evening.

I went with friends who mentioned that it was highly recommended on TikTok due to its quality as well as the availability of halal food which is very hard to come by in London. I want to say that the service was impeccable and we...were very much looked after as our every need was met and that is very rare to come by, especially by the young blonde waitress who was very sweet. I just wish I had the same glowing review about the food. In short, it was lacklustre to say the least; thankfully, the starter was very tasty as we got prawns with chilli and garlic and almost wiped the plate clean! The mains (well, at least for me) was disappointing. I had the salmon tagliatelle which simply just had no flavour. I thought adding that adding salt and pepper would make a difference but other than core flavours of the salmon, tomato and pasta itself, there was no discernible flavours of seasoning. Maybe I made a mistake in ordering and that the other mains would’ve suited me better? But all in all, I would recommend this experience but maybe stay away from seafood mains.More

We had booked a work dinner during a stay in East London exhibiting at Excel. We had high hopes, looking at TripAdvisor's reviews, and the '££££' price tag. Due to Covid, one of our party had to bow out. We advised the restaurant, through the...booking app, that we were one down. On arrival, we received a rather cool reception and were asked where the missing person was. We advised that we had pre-notified the change. There was a sigh and we were taken to our table. The restaurant was a quarter full max so not sure why this was such an issue. The food was very affordable, definitely not '££££' as on TripAdvisor (hoping that doesn't put people off) and, for the money, delicious. The service defrosted as our evening progressed and we came away having enjoyed most of the experience. The photo on TripAdvisor is slightly misleading, in that there were no table cloths on the tables which gave the place a cafe feel rather than a restaurant. 4 stars is generous but the hospitality trade is in dire straits at the moment so want to err on the positive side.More

Just home after a wonderful Mother's Day lunch at Bella Cosa! The Pasta's were exceptionally delicious as were the freshly prepared pizza's. I accidentally ordered the wrong pizza and the manager insisted on making me a fresh new one at no extra charge. The views...were both beautiful and interesting as a Russian yacht was parked outside the restaurant which was confiscated by the British government the next morning (all 38 millions worth) I would just like to say thank you to all the staff that looked after all 5 of us.More

Authentic Italian food. The pizza was huge considering the price we paid for it and the burrata with pesto was to die for. Would definitely recommend. Service was excellent by all the staff especially Jimmy who made sure that we had everything we need.
