Luce E Limoni - Camden

I booked this restaurant on line for 4 people for 4 January 2024 at 6.30 and received an email from the restaurant confirming our booking on the 14 November 2023. We were in London for a couple of days taking in some sites and a show and were looking forward to a nice evening out. We arrived at the restaurant at 6.30 to find that it was closed and were obviously quite confused. We phoned the telephone number on the web site and were told that the restaurant was closed for the Christmas holidays. A very poor show to take a booking on line, confirm the booking and say in the confirmation email that they are looking forward to seeing you when they are going on holiday. Don't trust your email booking. Luckily enough the taxis driver recommended an Italian Restaurant round the corner and we had a lovely meal and great time.

The start of our dinner experience was kind of weird as we only got a small paper with set menu, ... so don't forget to scan the QR code for the full menu and the beverages. Ambience, service, waiting time, value for money, red house wine, bottled beer ok. The Sicilian food was very tasty: shared burrata bread followed by excellent al dente pasta dishes : tortelloni with roasted veal mozarella in a sage/truffle oil sauce, bucatini with pork ragoût ... delicious Too bad we had no more space for the cannoli we intended to have as dessert ...

This place has a great ambience, and our food was excellent. I ordered the veal tortelloni, and it was Michelin-star delicious. I am still craving it. Our barrata came with an eggplant confit, and the taste combination was spot-on. I am also craving that dish. Our Sicilian wine was really good (and that is hard to find). I couldn't believe how slow it was in this restaurant. It was a Thursday night. But I learned that much of London was away on holiday, so maybe that was part of it. I would highly recommend this place. My husband and I look forward to visiting again on a return visit to London. Yum.

Everything about my experience was amazing. The service was spot on and the food was simply delightful, the staff made sure that our dinner was great and I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Food, wine and service very good in a very well laid out comfortable restaurant. However whilst the smaller limited 3 course menu was on a normal paper menu the a la carte and wine list were only available via one's smartphone. This is far less appealing and as well two of the party had not brought their phones so the whole exercise was painful in the extreme, As a result we all ordered from the limited menu and did not go the the better end of the wine list as we often do. This all seems damaging to the restaurant itself and would put off a goodly number of diners we all thought, too much hassle.
