We love italian food & had been meaning to try this restaurant due to all the good reviews. The ambiance was unexpectedly a very romantic vibe, especially due to the dim lighting, I even liked the concept of this restaurant where you get to order, and pick it up yourself - it's almost fast-food with good -food which is perfect for when you're short on time, yet it is still enjoyable and allows you to take in the lunch/dinner experience.


We ordered a funghi pizza as a starter to share, considering it's one of our favourite foods - we needed to have pizza at some point & followed up by a pasta dish as a main. I went for the campagnelle pasta with a mushroom sauce (Yum) & for Tom  the mushroom risotto. (Erm?! Can you tell we're a little mushroom obsessed ha!) It was a super veggie friendly lunch yet so delicious, you can even tear off herbs from infront of you to add to your dish which really was a nice touch. 

After lunch we decided to take a stroll & head towards Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park to get on the ice rink and skate a little,  I have to admit I suck completely when it comes to ice skating. I always start getting better once the time is up  and then wait a whole other year to skate again, to start from scratch all over again. I really should take it up more often if I want to improve! Tom on the other hand, seems to be a natural - he managed to drag me along with him which really made it more of an enjoyable experience for me. It starts getting dark super fast here in London by 4pm to be precise, which in a way worked out well. The hour we decided to go on the rink, it was raining slightly which means there weren't as many people skating which made it more of a special moment for us, with the live music that was also playing, I could have stayed frozen in that particular moment. 

It was finally time! This was the one event that we were mainly looking forward to. No surprise the west end never ceases to amaze me! I'm not usually one for musicals, but live shows are an exception. The performance was played so well and the songs were amazing and very catchy, I even have one of the songs stuck in my head on repeat - and it isn't even a good phrase to stay saying countless times during the day! I'm glad that we watched this show, although it was a little pricy it was worth the experience and to get a good laugh or two out of it. Both Tom and I love South Park and due to the Book of Mormon being written by the creators of South Park we knew this play wouldn't disappoint.
