good luck Marco, Mark & Douglas- it sounds fantastic , can't wait to go !!!! ED needs a italian eatery !!!

[Bellenden Jo]

Excellent, I love Italian, but do hope you will be child friendly for lunchtimes/early evening, as my kids also love pasta (and are very well behaved!).

[Cassius]

I think this new restaurant is a tad closer than Madrid - although I will put the addy in my diary just in case........

Differing reviews for their current establishements:

SquareMeal

Despite the splendid location in County Hall, London?s former seat of government, there?s something a bit uninspiring about this eatery. The food is straightforward Italian-by-numbers ? pizzas, pastas, prosciutto & melon, tomato & mozzarella, steak with herby roast potatoes ? but the chef & his staff seem to lack the traditional Italian passion, & it shows in the perfectly palatable but unexciting food. Still, the prices are reasonable, especially given the location, the terrace is a pleasant spot for lunch, & it?s good for kids too.

Give them a chance, it hasn't even opened yet!

Sounds nice to me.

[Michael Palaeologus]

It is replacing The Green - as I live opposite I am rather looking forward to the opening..

[AllforNun]

....uk me ...Mark, mark and douglas .......!!!.....and it's carbonara not cabonara and since when was this not an Italian dish ?

But lets hope it is a really good success, it would be nice to have a nice local Italian eaterie.

[tommy]

What's not Italian about a good carbonara ? Wikipedia Carbonara

Look at the ingredients...

Anyway - look forward to trying it out.

Hopefully the staff will be professional and friendly - not like the previous incumbants ?

[AllforNun]

Sweet jehova........wikipedia is now the limits of our research ! Believe it or not chickens and pigs have been in existence in Italy for a long time x C

Carbonara is absolutely italian, what ain't is microwave heated pasta, floating in half a tin of cream. But then that's the thing, it about the passion you put into making something that makes it good food, even with blue chip ingredients you can still **uk it up.

[paps]

Guys the place isn't even open yet and you are all having a pop at it!!! I say good luck and me and Mr Paps will be giving it a go and giving them a chance.

I love the forum .......but i hate it when people get stuck in and give such negative responses....some of you need to lighten up a little!!

[AllforNun]

Yes can't agree more, as i said before "lets hope it is a really good success".

Can not wait to the try the Italian Classic Buccatini Carbonara, nothing quite like it for a hangover !
