Ostuni

A very nice Italian food, a bit pricey though. Fried zucchini are truly awesome for a side or starter. Selection of wine is kind of limited, but wines there are all good. Service is good as well. Open terrace is covered with bushes and small trees and is a great sitting for warm days and nights.

Nice neighbourhood restaurant. Friendly stuff. The menu is not your typical Italian restaurant menu which is very refreshing. It has very unique Italian dishes from a particular part of Italy. Would recommend it if your in the area. It has a nice outside space as well.

Outstanding restaurant with a genuine rustic feel. The food is brilliant, delicious pasta and lots of fresh flavour. Nice mix of seafood and meat plus good vegetarian options. Would highly recommend for any time of day.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food!!! One of the best places to taste genuine pugliese food. Definitely recommended!!!

Great food and a very popular location. We turned up and the place was empty but they struggled to seat us, by the time we left the place was full.

I've been meaning to come here for a while, despite the mixed reviews on Google. Yes, the staff are a little eccentric but that is far better than the usual bored disinterested staff that dominate London's restaurants these days - it adds to the experience. We didn't have any problem with the timings of food delivery and the food was excellent, freshly prepared, typically Pugliese and with generous sized portions. It's well worth asking for an opinion on the wine - we were well rewarded with a very good choice at a decent price. Overall, I'd say that this restaurant is a hidden gem.

Pleasant staff, but food was average quality at a premium price. The starter platter was good, but it takes talent to muck up ham, cheese, and salami. The main course of pasta was warm not hot, and ok not delicious. My preferred main I was advised was "too salty today". Informed wait staff are good - but I was really startled by that.

We had a good dinner here. We went on a Sunday evening so very quiet and hence very good and attentive service. The food was good. The calamari starter was great (not too greasy). The mains were good but components of them were too salty.

A few days after a lovely birthday meal with my friend Ana, I checked the bill... And am really upset what I see --- I thought the check was very high considering we had 3 starters and 1 main.... Basically I was charged for tap water, open food ( which I don't understand what it is ...) as we paid already for bread and all items we ordered....and more money for an apparently sustainable Institute ... Ha ha ha what the hell is that... Yes these greedy restaurant owners had the nerve to make up and put 5.5 gbp on my check for something which we didn't order. I would never eat here again and sadly can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. I suggest the management reconsider their business model.

Perfection. All food are cooked beautifully with just the right amount of seasoning that makes my dining experience unforgettable. We ordered baked seabream, mushroom and truffle on the side with zucchini friti as main meal and baked aubergine as antipasti. The flavors were wonderful and it is truly an experience of celebrating simplicity and authenticity of Italian dishes. As dessert, we had tiramisu which was amazingly made with fresh grounded coffee and it was divine. The pistachio and vanilla gelato were also very good. The vanilla gelato in particular had a similar taste to a vanilla cake. You can really taste the vanilla bean melting in your mouth. The pistachio was also excellent, subtle and leave just the right after taste. Overall it was a splendid dinner. Fine dining that is worth each and every £ you spend. Don't forget to book a table before going here on Friday-Sat night and look for Nyle, American guy from Pittsburg, he would be able to help you go through the menu. Definitely will go back here for more.

Barratt fogli was a nice main dish but I wish I hadn't bothered with the starter. As this was v. Filling with truffles scattered on the top. Prepared reasonably well but heavier than it looks

I really enjoyed my meal here, far more than I expected to upon walking down a nearly empty warehouse-laden street towards the mini oasis of outdoor tables and plants. I had the seafood calamarata, which I really liked and would happily have again; my dining partners had the meatballs and the orrecchiete with beef feather, and they all really liked it. We also had the calamari, which I thought was only alright - but I have discovered I'm incredibly picky about my calamari. The zucchini it came with was a bit addicting, though... I'd return if I had reason to be in the area, but probably wouldn't make a special trip unless it was a semi-special ocassion and I was in the mood for good quality comforting food.

Delicious food and great service. A little pricey but worth it once in a while for some good southern Italy food.

Visited this restaurant on the 13th (Friday). It was OK, the service was attentive and I enjoyed the ambience. The table was wonky as it was on wheels, the tables are quite small (particularly if you order the anti-pasti). The anti-pasti is definitely tasty and you get good value for it. The mains were in Italian, which is fine normally but they were with a twist. So, for example, wild boar lasagne. The food lacked something though, it was OK, not something I'd be in a rush to go back for. The overall price was pretty hefty for 2 (£90) but it is London and we had two courses and a drink. Overall, I was left with a bit of a disappointment.

Very nice and cosy restaurant with interesting cuisine from southern Italy. The octopus with broad bean purée was an excellent starter, and the arrosto pugliese was an interesting and tasty main. The wine selection is broad, and reasonable. The only issue for some might be that the meats selection is not very broad, and the menu is a little hard to navigate, but once you do the results are well worth it.

Best Italian food I've ever had. The lamb was unbelievably tasty, it melted in my mouth. The 4 starters we had were delicious and the pasta we had was all great! I will come here next time I'm in London for sure.

Wonderfully decorated, very average service and food that is poorly flavoured. The place looks the part, the menu seems well conceived with nice ingredients but that doesn't matter when everything is overly seasoned...I mean pasta at an Italian restaurant being over salty is bad enough but over salty fries? Come on even fast food places get the seasoning of fries right and how dare you serve me two tiny bits of meat on a side plate with nothing else and call it a main dish. Maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen but this was a second visit after a first encounter that included underwhelming sharing plates that lacked flavour. Still it's a nice place to sit in the summer (unless a child is being potty trained on the table next to you)

This is a great spot for lunch, dinner, or a weekend meal. You won't feel rushed and the people who work at Ostuni are really accommodating, especially if you go with young children. The food is surely some of the best Italian cuisine that you'll find around.

Wonderful in every way. Fantastic food packed with flavour and served with a smile. The 'bombette' stuffed with provolone is genius so order the mixed grill and enjoy. Good wine at a sensible price too. Love it.

This restaurant is comically poor. Of course it fits the part, as hipster chic down a quiet lane, with clearly expensive renovations and a nice-looking open kitchen. But it is a foodie trap: food and service that looks young, fresh, exciting, expectedly geared for the yuppie rich who don't know but want to be seen to know, food; but obviously Ostuni is an under managed establishment aiming only for the uninitiated connoisseur. My party fell for it. Whatever the chef is cooking, he obviously is not tasting. Simple mistakes in the preparation of beans, the overcooking of pasta, forgetting ingredients that are listed on the menu (!), using ingredients (i.e. the olive starters) that literally taste like the discards of a Sainsbury's ready-to-eat. The orecchiette tasted and smelled like the kibble I feed to my dog - it was so overly seasoned and single-noted I'm not quite sure how this ever made it onto a draft menu. The staff seem to be uninterested in discussing the menu, and unaware of by now obvious dietary questions of one member of our party who was dairy-free. Does anyone taste the food here? If you don't know the menu, you probably shouldn't be on the floor. The server also brought a bottle of Italian white wine in an ice bucket filled with cold water and a few cubes. It was quite lovely dripping water all over the table. Whatever Ostuni thinks it is, it is not. Another over-priced example of a food scene that is so desperately trying to look like New York, it doesn't even get the basics correct.

What a shame! I'm local and was really looking forward to the opening of this Italian restaurant. Save your money. Do not go here. It's incredibly over priced for very poor food. I know it looks lovely outside. Have a glass of wine if you want but don't eat here. Many of us feel the same way!
