    We received a friendly greeting and taken to a good table with cpmplementary olives which was a very good start. The ambiest was traditional Italian and it soon filled up which caused the waiters to become very busy if not attentive. The food was enjoyable and we were served in good time and would definately recommend for a pre-theatre lunch.

    Biagio Ristorante Pizzeria is certainly a wonderful slice of Italy within the heart of the West End. Easily locatable and excellent service make you feel you are part of the family. Slightly disappointed on the haphazard and slightly unprofessional menu however it's range is truely huge and caters for Vegetarians excellently. The portion sizes are fantastic and truely leave you stuffed. If you are on a budget and want to try a taste of Italy certainly visit Biagio's.

    Our evening at the Biagio was memorable, it was my son's 18th birthday and our party of 7 all had fantastic food and service, including an impromptu cake and candle supplied by the Management when they found out about the birthday - it was not pre-planned. Food was mainly Italian but something for everyone including some unusual dishes (frog's legs). All in all a real pleasure to dine there.

    Mosaic is situated at the front of the Hilton Islington. The service was warm and efficient and when we needed the bill to be separated the staff were most obliging. Wine was expensive though there was a reasonable range. The food was competitively priced though, especially the starter of mixed meze with 10 different dishes. The chicken kebab served with proper flatbread and fresh salad was perfect, and my colleagues steaks' were excellent. Would definitely eat here again .

    Biagio was excellent for the lunchtime family birthday party we had. Very friendly service which suited our mixed age group. Starters were outstanding. Most main courses were excellent although pizza rather dry.

    The food at Biagio was delicious and the staff friendly although did take 20 minutes to seat us despite having booked a table. Once seated the service was excellent and recommend for pre-theatre,
