Priscila's review of Novikov

Being welcome for dinner at the Italian restaurant by its manager, Mister Giuseppe Nieddu, we were immediately served cocktails and champagne while being informed about the specials in the menu. The ambience was buzzing and the deco was impressive with attention to details and a quite soft light. We were seated at a round table, perfect for six people. We were promptly served breads' basket, olive oil, water, while ordering our wine and food. The dishes took some time to arrive but the waiting time was worthwhile. Having the funghi porcini mushrooms as entree and capretto meat cooked in the wooden oven as main course, it was succulent , simple delicious.  The tuna carpaccio and the salads were nicely presented and I was told they were extremely fresh. Service was friendly and attentive, keeping our glasses full and asking if there was anything else to be done. The open kitchen, with totally different lighting from the restaurant main floor, had a vivid, interactive and clean atmosphere. Good variety of deserts, very fresh fruits and perfectly sweet chocolate chaud. Price is £££ , definetly a place to go back.
