  Lovely Italian restaurant, the menu is well balanced with pasta, pizza, risotto and a selection of other mains and sides. As it was a particularly hot day it was a lovely escape from the heat (the Waterloo bridge arches make the inside of the restaurant cool (both in temperature and in terms of decor).
  
  I enjoyed my pizza very much and it was quite filling and so did everyone else with their respective meals.
  
  The only thing that I was not sure about was that the egg on the pizza was boiled and cut in 4, when I thought it would be one of those that they crack open on the pizza and it cooks with it. Just in case you wanted that, that's not it.
  
  The desserts were very tasty too, I recommend the hazelnut ice cream (tartufo something) as it was delicious and the chocolate orange tart if you are a fan of chocolate oranges.
  
  In general it's a good dinner option in Waterloo and you also get to escape the big chain restaurants that the area is full of.

  Came here before deciding to go back to our hotel after a day of touristing. The ambiance is very cute and the restaurant is a lot bigger than I expected. The prices were good and the food was okay. I feel like you get what you pay for here, this is a tourist area so the food isn't high quality Italian cuisine but it was good for the price. Our server was very nice and they serve good pirtions.

  The service wasnt very good but the food was delicious. They had an ice cream dessert that was pretty spectacular. It was a hazelnut icecream. Very good.

  I visited midweek for lunch as a friend and I were looking for somewhere close to the station to grab food and catch up! The exterior of the restaurant looked inviting and the menu sounded delightful so in we went.
  
  There is a bar area with a good amount of comfortable looking seating as you first enter, then you walk to the back and to the left to get the more formal dining area. The restaurant is under railway arches and it's beautiful inside!
  
  We were pleased to spot they offered a lunch deal of £10.50 for any pizza or pasta and a drink (including wine, beer or soft drink). I had the goats cheese ravioli with a creamy chive sauce and it was so good! Really flavoursome, though the pasta was a little too al dente for my personal taste. My friend had the lasagne which looked heavenly and we shared a garlic bread (though I ended up not eating mine as it was a little too strong)!
  
  We then shared the affogato plus the chocolate orange cheesecake for dessert. Both were perfect. The affogato is fairly simple but was attractively displayed and the cheesecake was simply divine!
  
  The service was friendly and efficient, we enjoyed a very leisurely lunch and didn't feel rushed at all. Would definitely return!

  Yesterday through work I was in London. Trying to catch the train back to Manchester, I caught up with some friends at Waterloo and went to Azzurro. I ordered Arancini as a starter and Carbonara for the main. The food was great but I have to say the carbonara wasn't authentic as it contains cream rather than just eggs and parmesan. The arancini was cooked just right as the risotto was not stodgy but with golden crispy breadcrumbs. The tomato sauce with parmesan was just right as it gave a well balanced flavour that wasn't overly salty, though I wish the dish had more than 3 balls. It is value for money for the main as you do get a lot of food especially for London price. In terms of service, it was ok but it could be improved as they forgot our dessert, which nearly made me miss my train as I arrived 5 minutes before leaving. Each of us ended up paying £24 each (4 people) for 3 course meal with drinks.
  
  Overall, value 4/5, food 4/5and service3/5
