Vecchio Parioli

It is authentic in a rustic way. For example, the chicken liver soup I ordered is quite like a mama style home soup and it contains a big portion of livers. But it is too large that I felt quite fed up already after this appetizer. The pasta is Al Dente but seafood coming with it is mediocre or lack of complexity. I still like it, but the flavor could be further improved to contain more elements. Tiramisu is homemade and quite alcohol heavy in taste. In sum, a good choice to experience homie cuisine. Maybe not for formal occasion.

I love the vibes of this unobtrusive Italian ristorante tucked away near Barbican underground. I love its homey and authentic feel and of course, I love the authentic Italian home cooking taste and generous plateful of dishes 👍🏼definitely worth another visit next time we're in that area of London 💛🤌🏼 have to mention too how welcoming and accommodating the front of house staff are 🥰

Excellent casual Italian and usually only a short wait for a table. This, friends, is a rare combination in this Barbican area. Even if it looks busy, duck inside and ask, they will squeeze you in. The veal and the chicken Milanese is excellent. So are the salads. Decent wine list, who cares about beer, nobody goes to an Italian restaurant for beer. Not pretentious, just good neighborhood Italian.
