Il Segreto

From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming. We were offered complimentary champagne and a delicious little Italian omelette from the chef, which was such a nice touch. The bruschetta, meatballs and octopus were all absolutely outstanding and full of authentic flavour.

The team were engaging, the atmosphere modern and comfortable, and the food genuinely impressive without being pretentious. A beautiful meal and definitely worth trying.

An unassuming restaurant with exceptional food and service. From the moment we walked in, the warmth and skill of the staff was evident -Tinsae, made us feel welcomed and introduced the food and the traditions of the restaurant to us through the experience

We were gifted a champagne sipper and appreciated that the menu is simple, helping to make decisions without overwhelm.

First we chose calamari. It came without sauce (didn’t need it!), light, perfectly crisp, & warm. Then had the caccio y pepe and mushroom ravioli which were both better than any pasta we’ve ever had. (The staff carefully packed up leftovers from each course so we could keep enjoying, & were patient as we don’t speak Italian).

For mains we had pulpo w pumpkin (I can’t recommend enough!!!) and the tagliata with aged lardon topping, honey, & walnuts. Unexpected details making these pieces just perfect

The desert was a small cheesecake, that had little tiny shards of ice in it that made it refreshing & light. Everything was made in-house that day, from the pasta to the sauces, the lardon had been aged for 3 years, however… and you get to see it displayed in the restaurant.

Just cannot say enough good about this place for an Italian food newbie or someone waiting to see the classics perfected. Thank you, team!

We chose Restaurant Secreto and arrived there on a rainy day at the very beginning of 2026, after several hours of walking. We were extremely tired and soaked almost to the skin, so the experience started a bit on the wrong foot, as the table we were initially given was right by the entrance. However, the staff was kind and understanding, and they quickly moved us to a more comfortable table - for which we would like to thank them once again. The food was tasty and not overly elaborate, but very honest and well executed. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely complimentary appetizer at the beginning of the meal. For starters, we chose a supplì and fried calamari, followed by pasta alla carbonara and polpete con sugo with oven potatoes as main courses. Everything was truly delicious. Dessert was also very good and provided a perfect ending to our dinner that evening.
This is a place that creates warm, pleasant memories, and we’re glad we chose it.
