Small pizza and pasta place on Old Compton Street in [[Locale Soho|Soho]], next door to [[Stockpot, W1D 4TN|the Stockpot]]. Note that despite the claims of some websites, it's <i>not</i> connected with the La Porchetta chain. The upstairs is fairly small <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/foodbymark/2953393812/ photo]</small>, but there's seating for about 25-30 downstairs too. [[Kake]] and friends visited on a Monday evening in March 2010. There were eight of us, and we hadn't booked, but there was room in the basement — indeed, the basement was empty when we arrived around 8pm, though a few other parties were seated during our visit. [[Kake]]'s frutti di mare pizza (£7.80) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/4401905731/ photo]</small> wasn't bad; the seafood wasn't overcooked, and the sauce was flavourful and neither too thick nor too scanty. I did find a few stray shards of mussel shell, which I could have done without. House white wine was inoffensive, and well-priced at £14.50/litre carafe (alternatively, at £2.50 for a 250ml glass). Service was fine, coping admirably well with our slightly tipsy, slightly loud group — one suspects that they're used to this sort of thing, given the location. They had no problem bringing us tap water on request. A 10% service charge was auto-added to the bill. Accessibility: Toilets are in the basement, down a flight of stairs.
