They charge 13% service on the donation they add to the bill. How can that be right? They make money on it. For one thing, if they want to donate to a charity that is their business and up to them -- don't impose it. For two 13% is a massive service charge. But mostly, don't serupticiously add a donation to the bill and also charge service on that so it generates a profit for the restaurant under the guise of a donation.

Aside from that the food was very good, the wine list also extensive but tricky to grasp without a lot of Italian knowledge. Luckily the somelier is a great help and we had an excellent red, just what we wanted really to our taste and matched with our food. The service is also relaxed and friendly - they appear to judge their customers correctly in terms of casual-ness. We had some good chats and the guys are honest and open about the food which is ideal. Having said all that, considering the hype and the number of tourists in this place that use their phones (despite the menu noting their prohibition), this is a 4/5 place you can do better for the money although this is far from bad and you can also do a lot lot worse in London for this price bracket.
