    High Energy, Great Pulse, and Even Better Food ! I visited on Thursday evening, Dec 18th, and the restaurant was absolutely buzzing! The energy was pumping and there was so much movement throughout the night, which really complimented the busy, vibrant vibe. It truly felt like the place to be. Even though I was dining on my own, I felt very welcome by all the waiting staff. I was particularly impressed by the fantastic team mechanics and the flow of the service; despite how busy it was, everything moved perfectly. I felt right at home in the high-energy atmosphere. The food was amazing: for starters, I had the charred artichoke and the oven-baked Camembert, and I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary focaccia. For the main, I had the Nero di Seppia spaghetti, which was excellent. If you’re looking for a spot with a great pulse and fantastic food—whether you're with a group or solo—I highly recommend it!

    We had the Burrata and Focaccia for starters, and that was really good. After that we had the Vongole & Truffle Fettuccine - which was ok, not as full of flavor as advertised. The flavor was decent, but it didn't taste as good as some of the other Italian restaurants in the City and you couldn't really taste that is was handmade. On average the service was slow and disjointed. (it was very busy in their defense). They lost our table booking as we wanted to sit and do our drinks outside and then move inside and then we waited 30mins for our Dessert. They did apologize and gave us the dessert free. Luckily, the ambience was of such nature that it offset the average mains and slow service. In future we'll probably do drinks there on the verandah and get the mains from somewhere else.

    This was my first time at Libertinos and my boyfriend and I enjoyed every second of it. From the decor, to the ambience, service and food included was top tier. It is rather pricey for food that although was tasty, did not take my breath away. Nonetheless I will be returning because the service was good and our waiter did a superb job of regular check-ins

    Our waiter Leon wasn't very attentive even though the restaurant wasn't full. All the plates on our table were chipped but only one plate was replaced. There was a sour smell in the restaurant however the inside of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful
