A Cena

Food was great. Service was terrible. The waiters kept badgering us to make a choice even though the restaurant was very empty (only us an another group). Asked us to choose our mains upfront claiming it takes long to cook them, but then got that food within like 10-15 mins. Was clear they could not wait to get us out of the restaurant since we were the last group (and we left around 8:45ish. So wasn’t even that late.

A Cena never fails we have been visiting regularly for many years and the quality is always high. The simplest dish is made special by attention to detail and ingredients even a humble plate of spaghetti is lifted by just the right amount of heat with black peppercorns pecorino cheese and so on.

I went to A Cena with lots of expectations, but none of them was met. The menu was very limited, out of the few starters they offered rucola salad or cicoria salad, which is definitely not what I would call a special Italian dish, but rather a big margin opportunity for the restaurant. Re service, not impressed at all, I couldn’t help but feeling not welcomed... with a bill of almost £300 anyone would definetely expect more.

Beautiful restaurant, attentive staff, delicious food. I had the lamb, and cleared my plate!

Consistently excellent. I’ve been dining here for many years

Excellent lamb on a well balanced and substantial plate. Very good cooking.

Lovely ambience and atmosphere. Delicious cocktail to start. Very warm and friendly staff. Food was delicious too!

Beautiful elegant restaurant and the food is first class

Delicious dinner of very authentic Italian food. Also, well balanced portions - substantial but not stodgy. Love to atmosphere and low-key but attentive service. Thanks A Cena team. Never disappointing...

great food, good service another excellent meal at a Cena
