I am of Italian descent, and I nearly wept as you dined. My Grandmother was a gifted cook, indeed a chef for wealthy Parisian family before WWII when she had to leave. Every dish was simply presented of the very best ingredients, exquisitely done with a deft hand. She did everything but desserts. We had fruit in season, ice cream in winter. Oh, but you brought back a flood of memories. Mille Grazia.

I’m glad you liked my food. I’m the chef at the restaurant

Seriously you have got to love this guy as a utube reviewer....he takes his time to reply to absolutely everyone...that takes lots of time and effort and makes the comment feel appreciated...never change young man...I know you will have too many comments soon as the channel is massive now but we all know you would if you could 🙂

My wife of 49yrs is Italian and she is the best thing that as happened to me, Italian cooking is the best in my opinion, in the early 80s my wife took to me italy to visit her auntie's and uncles about an hour away from Naples in Campania,there had been an earthquake about 6 months previous and her auntie's house although just about safe to live in was in a right state with no running water gas or electricity and all cooking was done on a wood fired stove so we ate by candle light, that meal of ragout with rigatoni pasta was the tastiest meal ive ever had in my life they were such nice people and never moaned about the situation they were just happy to be alive, thats why i not only love my wife but also the Italian people, they keep food simple, even in this day and age i can give my missus a fiver and she would make a meal for the four of us, it would be simple but delicious and tasty, great video as normal Gary, its a 10 from me. Cheers mate..( by the way after a while they were rehoused in a modern flat)

Went there a while back, food and service was top notch. Yes, it's expensive, but sometimes going out for a meal isn't just about the food - it's about romance, passion and creating memories that'll last a lifetime. 😊

Great ingredients don’t need a place to hide. From the little touches of oil, basil and quality bread, to the pork belly and then the past every element of that meal stood out as first class. Thanks Gary, your descriptive review made my mouth water 👏

Gary, reading through the comments, I see that you attract the kindest followers! You are easy to follow as you are the kindest gentleman. Thank you for bringing us along to this charming restaurant. We're having a beautiful, mild summer here in northern Michigan, and my garden is almost overflowing with organic veggies. Safe travels, my friend. 💜

Considering the location and the quality of the food, I wouldn't consider this meal to be expensive for a treat. Not one for everyday lunch, but for a celebration or to impress someone important, probably well worth it.

The Italians have a saying: “semplice ma buono”. It really is a cuisine which focuses on doing simple things well.

The Italians genuinely understand the secret to good food: keeping things simple, using quality ingredients, and putting time and care into the small stuff. The meal looked delightful, and, as always, it was a delight to watch your review.

Can't beat a bit of Gazza on a rainy day. How you manage to reply with 100k subs, I'll never know. No other youtuber does this (as far as I know), you're definitely unique, in that respect. Legend. Thank you for simply being legit. No fake nonsense. Happy days.

For the quality of the food and the portion size I think you got your money’s worth, I’m no means at all wealthy but you hit it right on the nail being a treat. I love that you do a variety of budgets with all the different locations that I would never have imagined so I tip my hat to you Gary for opening my eyes to the good, the bad and the ugly lol 😂 another brilliant video and thanks ☺️

When the notifications goes off on my phone saying Gary has uploaded a new video it's bang on straight away !! Love this channel it's my favorite on KZfaq

Wow Gary, you and cameraman have been busy with a steady stream of great quality review videos. This place looks very nice.

Your knowledge of food, ingredients and your ability to identify individual ingredients is remarkable. Very technical but honest opinions with great presence on screen. Keep up the great reviews Gary and Eats Jnr.

I've seen couples on their wedding day with less enthusiasm and satisfaction than you're showing in this video. It's so good to see someone happy. Next time have the pasta first then the meat course and salad or vegetable second and see how that goes for you.

I would have wanted a large glass of Italian red wine to go with the main course.

Olive oil and crusty bread to dip into it, oh pure joy. The place is sensational. Pasta looked delicious, everything is perfection. Desert was outrageous. Drooling again. Great show Gary. Worth every penny.

My Mum and I were saying how you cheer us up. Always so enthusiastic and a nice bloke. And how funny you are on the rare occasion that you get angry! She said: "The Rick Stein chippy?" And I said "yes." She said; "I don't think he ever DID complain, did he?" And we sat there laughing! You really are a tonic Gary! They should prescribe your channel rather than anti depressants. Much better for you and probably more effective!

Another great review. I'm lucky enough to have Italian friends who live just outside Rome. The whole family lives in a 4 storey house with an apartment for each family on each floor. In the basement is the huge kitchen where Nona Alvira (sadly no longer with us) used to rule the roost. This restaurant reminded me of her cooking. One or two simple ingredients, but the best and well done. My husband and I drove to Rome via a lot of the Spanish regions. We were thinking of a gift to buy for the family. What's the best gift for Italians? Food, of course! So we bought regional foods and wines from every region we drove through, and made a hamper. Alvera's eyes were so wide when we gave the hamper to her. And do you know, something of everything we had bought was incorporated into every meal we had with them for our stay. It's the Italian way 😁❤

Gary is a role model for us young folks. 😊 (Never mind that, he is a role model for us all.)

There are people who travel all over the world to see the wonders of the world. You, Gary, see, smell and taste wonders closer to home!! And we can all enjoy it! Thank you for these videos!

Yet another great review from the dream team. I don't know whether you realise just how much pleasure you give to people like me. Although I have lovely friends and great neighbours I live alone but a Gary review is like a friend popping in for a natter and putting a smile on my face. 😘

Simply now the best food reviewer on KZfaq nice one Gary 👌👌

Got to love how considerate you are to other diners when you do your reviews. That restaurant looked the business.. Very high quality place and food to match. The tiramasu looked amazing.!! Thanks again for another top drawer, no nonsense review. 👍👍👍

Gary, I have to say this year, your reviews have been extremely pro-level. I’d imagine you’ve been reviewing restaurants for a decade. The way you described such simple dishes, yet made me feel like I could almost taste them, was amazing. I’m afraid soon you might get snatched up by a TV channel as their restaurant critic.

I'm really looking forward to this. Italy is my favourite cuisine and my favourite place on earth to visit 🇮🇹🥳

The size of the portions actually made that pretty good value!

Sometimes you pay "a lot" and it is in fact worth it. This looked like one of those occasions!

I just started watching you and this restaurant sounds like a winner. You have nice table manners also and no chewing noises, love it. Thanks.

I`m a Scot, my wife's a Londoner, we`re Foodies living in Brisbane Australia. always enjoy your `OUTINGS` . cheers.

Great review Gary. So many people who review Italian restaurants in the UK have never eaten in Italy so they have nothing to compare it to. That food looked awesome. Real Italian

Gary i love the way you engage with the hard working staff polite and respectful this is why I love your channel

It reminded me of eating Italian home cooked food when I was in my teens, My best friend from school was Italian and his Granny used to do all the cooking. I was lucky enough to be invited round for lunch or dinner a few times and the food was to die for. I have eaten in quite a few Italian restaurants over the years but none ever matched her freshly sourced and made Italian food.

I am of 100% Italian decent so this is for me your best review. Everything looked quality and authentic. A meal like that is worth it if it touches your soul. Ciao!

You are a legend Gary, people may think it’s easy going round tasting food is easy, but it’s not, you really are a breath of fresh air mate

I absolutely love your channel Gary. It always brightens up my day when you upload.

Thanks again Gary...another wonderful video. Always nice to see you enjoying yourself and that comes through. Take care.

This is my new favourite food channel. Such a nice genuine guy. Love the fact that you are a diehard Liverpool fan as well Gary. Keep up the good work. YNWA

Oh my word, every mouthful looked absolutely delicious!

"Lets give it a go!" Superb review as always Gary 👏

The secret of Italian cooking is always simplicity, few ingredients and yes the outcome is heaven on earth when done properly. That certainly looked the real deal and a little bit of Italy in the heart of London. So very thrilled that you reviewed , we need restaurants like this.

Three delicious stunning courses I think well worth the money thanks Gary

It was fun to see you get so excited over the food Gary! Remarkable how really good food can make a huge impression like that. Cheers.

Gary, the main reason for LEMON is to assist in cutting through and breaking down foodstuffs containing meat fats and fish oils... It aids in the digestion process... 😊

Thanks for this review Gary - the meal and location looked fantastic.

Magic review Gary. I’m still salavating. Cm’s really doing something wonderful with bringing it all together. 👍

Smashing it Gary, I started watching couple month ago had like 50k subscribers. Now over 100k, very impressive and deserved

Quality genuine video. I love how honest you are. Credit to you.!!

Why wasn't it 10/10? Don't keep us in suspense! Absolutely love your channel, thank you sir.

Gary, Osteria Romana Absolutely superb! 👍 The score of 9.5 was spot on! For me it could never be a 10 due to the price, affordability has to factor in with the review. Superb from the dynamic duo as always, great review 👏 Have a lovely weekend! Cheers 🍻 P.s Great to see the 100k subscribers/verified tick beside your name now ✅

That looked amazing. Another great vid Gary 👍

Another brilliant video Gary. Thanks.

A phenomenal review….fabulous to watch because you make it feel as if we are sitting there with you Gary…..I could almost taste each course…..brilliant…..thank you Sir

Hey Gary! Great review as always, very thorough. I'm not a big pasta lover however that pork belly appetizer looked right up my alley! Keep up the amazing videos - always a highlight of my day when I see a new post 😊

What a fantastic review! Every course was perfection 👍

Great content as always Gary. All the best!

Another gem and as always a great review Gary. Subs really taking off and deservedly so guys.

Must give this a try next time we are in London! Adore good Italian food. Thanks for another fantastic review Gary! ❤

That looked amazing 👏 and glad you've shared with the poor starved cameraman 😉😉😉

Thats the Gary i have grown to love watching ! Yum yum . Thankyou for a great review 😊

Just discovered your channel recently and it’s brought back memories of my recent secondment in London. Big fan of the down to earth and unpretentious style of your videos. Absolute class act.

Loved this video gary the food looked lovely always look forward to watching

Thanks again Gary that lunch looked lovely.

Looked amazing. Simplicity makes Italian food the best in the world.

For an Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge the prices are not too bad and the food looked amazing 🤩 great review Gary and your son in the cameraman job .

Oh my oh my quality quality quality.the restaurant was lovely.as for the starter fabulous! Thank you Gary for this one i thoroughly enjoyed watching it! Positivity peace and love ♥️

Ooooh some Italiano. Beautiful and authentic. Oh wow I just love this. I love your sense of humour ,too funny 🤣 I love Italian cuisine. It doesn't love me but oh well . The pork looked juicy before you even started. Italians love to fatten you not just feed you . That pasta wow. I can taste it . Rigatoni as you know has grooves/lines on the pasta so that the sauce etc clings to it making it even more delicious. This is a top notch review. Very classy indeed . Thank you for sharing sweet. Loved this review definitely a 10 x 😊

One of the most inexpensive meals to make is Italian, I'm all for good produce, but I couldn't justify those prices. Great review by the way gary 👏

Thanks for the vid Gary! Love your content.

I am salivating looking at that glorious rigatoni dish. The bread looks wonderful, I would have used it to sop up every last bit of the sauce. I would have loved to see a fresh salad. Wonderful video. Thank you!

Pasta dishes are my favourite, divine.

My favourite food…Italian, looking forward to this one ❤

Great review Gary. Food looks lovely. Keep up the fantastic videos mate and super content. Have a good rest of the week mate.

Fantastic! Yes Gary, truly exquisite. Pork looked so delicate and delicious. Tiramisu is my favourite dessert and that one looked absolutely delicious. So creamy. Yum. Thanks for the video Gary.

Never chop basil. Tear it.

"id like a frying pan of pasta please. No, no plate. Just whack it in front of me right off the hob".

The beauty of Italian food is the simplicity

Another great review Gary. You are the man

£56 that's great value for the quality

Looks like a top, top end restaurant. Nice as a treat or special occasion

Wow, another fantastic review of a great restaurant. I really appreciate your consideration for other people and your honest, detailed opinions. I now intend to dine at Osteria Romana in the future. I watch your channel daily. Fine work you're doing, Gary. Thanks!

Watching with a big smile on my face as usual. Great review Gary. Food looked stunning. Needed a big glass of red wine and some music. Uplifting as ever. Cheers and thanks again Gary. Stephen.

I'm getting the feeling that this meal was just a bit better than the Greggs sausage roll!

Italian food is the best! Food looked delicious.

Garry and crew a big thank you from Down Under. Amazing quality in your presentations and honesty of each review. Keep up your great work.

Your honest and down-to-Earth reviews are always delightful viewing, Gary. This restaurant is good value, the value-equation being (what you get) / (what it costs). And we all deserve a treat now and again 😋

Where you are seated Gary, I was people-watching while they walk by during your video. 81 people plus 2 babies 2 dogs and 2 cyclists went by while you ate. Yes, I was still paying attention to the lovely Italian food.

casually having harry findlay walk behind you and not even noticing at 7 minutes :o

Another great review Gary. That place looks absolutely amazing. I will have to try it. I have never heard of it so thank you to alerting me to it.Always great reviews and looking foreward to your next

That meals looks wonderful, and you've conveyed that fantastically well. Nice one Gary!

Never really fancied Italian food. Tried it recently, some of the tastiest food I've ever eaten 👍

Looking forward for this one!

Your food reviews are the best ever Gary,you describe the flavours so well I can almost taste it with you,that looked so delicious,especially that dessert ❤

I love oxtail and that looked stunning. I could almost taste it!! Great heartfelt review of amazing food. Well done Gary and Osteria Romana ❤

Hi Gary, glad to see normal service has been resumed after that farcical trip to Greggs!! I thought the way you described that food and the flavours was very comprehensive. If I had my eyes closed and listened to your narrative I would know exactly what was on the plate. Excellent 👍 thanks Alan

well Gary i don't want to make you jaleous but i was a trucker who rode every week to Italy. There we unloaded en reloaded and did some deliveries befrore we drove back home. We always went to a little restaurant near parma where 'la mama' cooked and her husband served . Everything was fresh and the bread she baked herself. They even made their own Limoncello. The man himself had a very strange hobby, he went from farm to farm around Parma in search of the best ham he could buy and when he found a ham to his satisfaction he was so proud that he walked in his restaurant carrying the ham like a baby. After everybody praised him enouch he took his knife a made slices that were so thin you could see throu them. but omg what a taste! So now for the part to make you jaleous lol. we had all the Lambrusco or prosecco we wanted,as much bread as we wanted, frsh grated parmacheese,3 dishes and after the souper all the limoncello we could drink for 10 pound hahahahahahaha well that was an eleven out of ten ;)

This looks incredible! Another one for the dining out list. Thank you Gary & Cameraman!

Life is to short not for a treat Gary. Everything looked fab there👍 As always another fab review guys🙌

Who would've suspected a restaurant in Knightsbridge would be expensive? To be honest, I far prefer the old school trattorias like up in Barnet and Camden.
