Otto — Restaurant in London

Disappointing from start to finish. Greeted by a frosty waiter who mumbled that we could sit outside and was then gestured to a table. The food was less than average. The wild boar ravioli was sent back, the filling was like corn beef, texture of baby food, ridiculously huge portion too. My daughters had Bruschetta, they didn’t bother with a main, overtly garlicky. The desserts were utterly appalling. Being Italian I make Tiramisu regularly, this effort was dry and stale, the sponge hadn't been adequately soaked in the coffee resulting in a dry cake with some cream, topped with a glacé cherry! I had the cheesecake, hadn’t been properly chilled, decidedly average. Worst of all was my eldest daughter’s offering. A banoffee pie. Wow this was a shocker. Bananas so old they were grey, I guess the glacé cherry addition again was to divert the eye. It didn’t work, that too went back. Unlike ourselves,...

An update: One of my favourite place in the area now. Visit as often as we can and absolutely LoVe it every time. Food, service and atmosphere always amazing and makes me feel welcome and appreciated as customer. Recommend it all of our customers and whoever have visted come back with same impressions.

And must say they delivered and above. Had Otto and Vegetariana- both great. The highlight for me was the Banoffee pie- the best I've eaten so far ever. Partner had chocolate mouse. Will be back for more soon,need to try some vegetarian pasta next time Got back and had the pleasure of eating again in Otto. I have to admin is one of my...

Good decor although food wasn’t great. Order arrived incorrect once with mushrooms (asked for without) and once with chicken bones in the chicken. Apparently this is okay because it’s “commercial chicken”?! No apology or refund or complimentary offered for this. Prawns inside the Calzone were charged extra although not told and were in their shells, making it a nightmare to eat. Wine was tasteless and expensive for a small glass (£8). Claimed to not take American Express although it had an AMEX logo on the card reader. Overall pretty disappointing and wouldn’t return. Staff were polite and I understand this is a new business but justifying chicken bones being normal (twice!) in a pasta dish...
