"I discovered this venue quite by chance, more because it was in a quieter part of Westfield, away from the crazy fast-food frenzy of the food court which is menacingly dominated by now ubiquitous giants of McDonalds, KFC and Burger King. For my part I have never even heard of Simone Remoli, although I am reliably informed, according to this restaurant 's signage, that he trained in the kitchens of the finest restaurants in Rome, then decided to travel to London to 'extend his knowledge '. That strikes me as a somewhat random choice, given that he was disappointed by what he found. Apparently, that was what prompted him to open his own restaurant, which is how the company came to be. A commendable, if very unoriginal aspiration, I 'm sure. Intrigued by the 'mix match ' concept of the place, I decided to give it a try. I liked that you are able to choose your pasta and your sauce separately, and everything is neatly categorized on a set of menu boards (see pictures). In the event, to save having to make a series of choices, it was easier to order one of the special 'signature dishes ', in this case the spaghetti aglio, olio e pepperoncino (spaghetti in garlic with olive oil and chilli). I also ordered some olives and bread on the side. The bread was a selection of focaccia with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip (see picture), coming in at an extra £3.90. The olives were all very firm and green (see picture). also at £3.90. They were nice, but not worth the price tag. The spaghetti came with optional clams, adding another £4.90 to the £11.60 for the main dish, meaning the spaghetti alone cost £16.50! I was surprised at how quickly the pasta arrived, not having considered pasta as fast food before, but I guess it could be. To be fair the pasta was perfectly cooked (no less than I would expect) although it was only lukewarm. But it was good (see picture). The venue itself is actually quite an awkward shape, shoehorned as it is into the side of the thoroughfare, and on a kind of corner, and because of its position by the entrance it is a little drafty. Theoretically, it should be a pleasant vantage point from which to watch the passers-by, but in reality you are simply disturbed throughout your meal by an endless succession of groups of lairy and excitable youths. The chairs are all metal as well, so it isn 't an ideal venue to spend a lot of time in. With drinks, the entire bill came to £30.40 in the end. That is a lot for lunch. It is overpriced, and the portions are not overly generous, but I like the concept, so probably would return. Pass on the side dishes and extras and it would be far more palatable."

Over priced and poor quality. The meatballs were more bread than meat and the chicken and peppers was full of chicken skin and gristle . Really poor experience, will not be returning.

I ordered a portion of Bolognese pasta, the smell was awful, I went to ask him if he could make another portion with pork but unfortunately the second portion was uncooked, I was very disappointed. I will never return to this place.

I was in the area for business and on my way back to the hotel, I was thinking about dinner when I passed by this restaurant. I was looking for something quick and delicious, and that is exactly what I found. The service was very quick and friendly, and the food was exceptional. I will definitely be returning to eat here again when I am back in the area. Ver carta

ok, let's start talking about the quality price factor, very convenient. I ate a pasta tagliatelle amatriciana, very good and typical Italian products, the staff is very courteous, and attentive to details, the place is clean and renovated, a friend recommended this restaurant to me, I heard that pasta with fish is very popular ... I will definitely come back to try it.

Ordered a takeaway large bolognese which cost £12. Not exactly cheap and was expecting a well made tasty dish. Instead I got a heap of wet pasta, a meagre amount of mince and zero flavour. Extremely bland and no care given to the food. I had to cook it further at home to add some flavour to it for me it wasn’t edible before. Really poor needs to improve for this price tag

Very dissapointing. Mozzarella pasta, undercooked tastless pasta, the basil and tomato sauce was bland, 3 small pieces of Mozzarella garnished with a single lonely leaf! All this for over £13! Wish I had photos! Watching the prep should have warned me, the food was thrown around. The people who work here don't appear to care, just a job. Save your money or try next door The Hungry Bedouin. Avoid.... Ver carta

We arrived at 1pm and the restaurant was quiet. It seems like not many people are aware of this place. This was our first time trying it out and we definitely recommend it. The food was freshly made and served hot; the biscuit was delicious and the peach ice tea was refreshing. In total, our meal, drinks, and biscuit came to £40 for both me and my partner, which we found to be a reasonable price compared to other restaurants.

Even though Westfield is a noisy and busy shopping center, it is worth enduring the hustle to have lunch at this restaurant. I appreciated the concept of being able to choose my own sauce, pasta, and cheese. My husband particularly enjoyed his mushroom sauce, whole wheat pasta, and parmesan. For my main course, I opted for the prawns as a starter, which were delicious and juicy in a garlicky sauce, although they were quite messy to eat without finger bowls. Despite this, the experience made us laugh and is not recommended for solo dining.
