  “Reviewer Alister B hit the nail on the head. My plate was also filled out with chips and beans but the worst part is I didn’t order either of them. I ordered Breakfast #1 and they brought #2. When I complained, the order-taker said he was ‘100% certain I ordered #2.’ And this after he had brought me milk tea and had to change it because I ordered it black. Twenty years ago, Mario would have taken back the plate (even if he was 100% certain I was wrong) and delivered exactly what I had ordered. And he would have done it with a song. I’m 100% certain of two things. One: I’m not going back. Two: the order-taker won’t last long in that job.”

  “Used to be a great place. Food quality has now gone down and prices have gone through the roof. A shame.”

  “It's a great place to get a coffee and panini before heading on a train journey from Marylebone just on the side of the street.”

  “Been several times and enjoy the food and experience. I thought to my self, “it’s been a few times, I’ll leave them a 5 star review while I’m waiting for the train” but they spoilt it, over something annoyingly simple. I ordered Meatballs and rice on Thursday, but was presented with Spaghetti Meatballs. I highlighted the error but told I was wrong by both the person I ordered from (owner I think) and the person that brought my food out (his wife/ co-owner maybe). I know what I ordered, was looking forward to and already paid for it. I had also ordered a water but had to get up and ask for it again, after waiting for my food to arrive. I’d eaten pasta 2 days in a row but I didn’t want an argument/to be “one of those customers”, so I ate my food like a good boy. I even got up (they weren’t busy) and ordered a tea and small cake afterwards. They had an opportunity to reset there but I got a tea with far too much milk. I’m so disappointed because I really liked the place and was planning on making it a regular stop off but their response to them making a mistake is; tell the customer they’re wrong, make no attempt to improve service and make me feel awkward. I mean, some customers would have sent the food back and said “bring me what I ordered/paid for please”, I dropped it and just ate what I was given, as I realised them correcting their mistake would cost them money. When I can, I prefer to give my custom to small businesses just like this because it’s usually a better experience and my money goes to real people… but I feel uncomfortable about going back, all because of a simple, forgivable mistake they handled badly.”

  “I’m in the area most weeks and usually annually I visit to see whether things have improved and always leave underwhelmed. The set menu comes with tea, but the charged £2.20 extra for coffee - which admittedly was very good. The breakfast was underwhelming for the price - £13 - one small bit of bacon, one egg and things like mushrooms, black pudding were extra. The plate was filled out with chips and beans, so it was filling at least. I’ll come back in a year and see if things have changed.”

  “Typical greasy spoon cafe, staff seem friendly (which is what gave the 3 stars). Food isn't up to scratch. Pre-cooked dried out hard bacon that is reheated in the microwave, that should be explanatory of the quality. Come on guys it takes 2 minutes to fry a slice of bacon, this is just lazy.”

  “Honestly, a beautiful cafe to visit. It has a great view of Marylebone station, and the cafe has a retro Italian vibe to it. The staff are the best because they are attentive and kind, serving you as if you were family. The food is homely and classic, and very fresh and tasty.”

  “Outstanding cafe located opposite Marylebone station via a less than one minute walk. Far superior to anything inside the station. Very hospitable staff, the lady (who I think is the owner) remembers customers and their orders and is always smiling and welcoming. All staff work extremely hard to ensure polished surfaces, no dirty plates left behind etc. Standard of cleanliness superb. Food is delicious and a good selection on offer. Definitely worth making the trip across the zebra from the station - you won’t be disappointed. Cafes like this are hard to find and this one is a gem. P.s I have had the privilege to re-visit this wonderful establishment. The jacket potato and baked beans were incredible. The water is also extremely good and very cold. Staff are so nice. Lovely place. Really recommend. In fact if you are in London just once you must come here. P.p.s back again in this great place. They make food so fast eg bacon sandwiches. No one is left waiting they are so quick. Definitely recommend. P.p.p.s the staff work so hard here. Everything is like a well oiled machine. All the lovely customers enjoy their food and beverages. Interesting decor. Good water. 💧 very nice food. P.p.p.p.s the fridge is well stocked as you can see from the picture. The sandwiches look very nice as you can see from the picture. There is a lot on the menu as you can see in the picture. You can also see the sign it is a nice orange colour as you can see. There is a shiny mirror on the wall but you don’t want to look in it when you look like me but it is very shiny all the sane and they must polish it a lot. The decor is very interesting indeed. Everybody is so lovely here. They really are. P.multiple.s it’s great in here full of lovely London people. The jacket potato with baked beans is very good.you can sit at the window or on woven chairs. Kids on a school trip. Teachers do such a good job. Not an easy one but they do it well. As Graham at tiffin said you only get one shot with a child’s education.”

  “My local cafe. I enjoy popping in for a late breakfast when the early morning and midday rush has died down. It's an unpretentious English breakfast, the type that you could make at home but want someone else to make it for you so you go to Gino's! Thoroughly enjoyable!”

  “Surely a nice place to stop before getting a train at Marylebone station. Super friendly staff, good products, breakfast serve all day with a nice touch of italian warm cuisine. The ambiance is simple but clean and the prices are accordingly. Don’t miss the sandwiches made a la minute based on your taste.”
