Although the front door was not quite closing properly, our waitress was super attentive in pushing it to every time someone walked in or out.
This was a lunchtime visit to make up for the fact they were closed the last time we tried them even though we had booked a table! To compensate for their mistake they promised free food for us and were good to their word. The food was excellent, freshly prepared and well presented. We had an excellent burger and a mixed meat platter. Delicious.
What about the beer though? Wot no Peroni or Moretti?? Indeed not but the 50 or so other Italian craft beers more than made up for that!
We started with a a delicious Saison "New Morn", a light refreshing number that I would highly recommend. We then worked our way through, Freeride, Sally B, Californian Sun, Viaemi ,AFO, Dom and Winterlude on tap before leaping in the deeper waters of their bottled selection.
We tried the Chimera and the Clan Stout before finishing with a couple of Barley wines,
Prima Luna which was excellent and Ultima Luna an amazing 13% aged in Amarone barrels and truly delicious.
We left warmed and slightly tipsy after a pleasant four hours.
Great service, amazing beer selection and great food, this place deserves to do well and I believe they have another place at the Elephant and Castle with another coming in Notting Hill in the New Year.

We are gluttons for punishment and went on from there to the Lowlander in Drury Lane to sample an excellent Troubador Magma, Rochefort 10, Karmeliet Trippel and Duvel Trippel. I'm not quite sure what happened after that but some hours later I found myself at home in the spare bed!
