Little Taperia Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Reliable small plates and a jolly vibe make it a great meeting place any day of the week"
"Convivial and always loud and cheery. The food is mostly a hit but the odd slight miss goes unnoticed in the good time had by all."
"Buzzy atmosphere makes for a great night out with friends. The food is all above average. Standout is the Presa Iberica. Not as little as the name suggests with hidden rooms round the back. A little gem though."
