"Lovely food. The Groupon deal for 3 courses is far too cheap for what you get. Other reviews I have read are mixed regarding quality of food and service. My experience was very positive. Worth a visit."

"Fabulous little independant Mediterranean restaurant in the heart of Westbourne. Very friendly staff and good food. I recommend the someretto special dishes and the pasta dishes. Sitting outside the restaurant in the beautiful open ended arcade still gives you that al fresco feeling without the risk of catching a shower. Lovely!"

"The bass and bream were nice. Creme brulee wasnt caramelised on top. Used a groupon deal which worked out good value. It was quiet....but it was a Tuesday. Good customer service."

"We love the food here. A group if us go regularly because the food is cooked as you order. If a large group, ten or more, you may not all get the food at exactly the same time. This is because everything is cooked individually. Smashing. Thank you."

"It was lovely, just the right amount of food, excellently cooked and served at the right time. Both of us enjoyed what we had, I had pan fried sea bass and my daughter had the salmon. I would definitely recommend it."

"Fantastic food!!! Small venue leads to an intimate atmosphere, perfect for couples. Someretto (the owner) runs the place well and is a good guy to have a quick chat with. Service can be a LITTLE slow but don't let that stop you from enjoying a wonderful bite to eat at this great restaurant!"
