Tempo Review In Metro by Marina O'Loughlin on 1st of December 2010

"If Tokyo’s anything to go by, the Japanese 

love Italian food. Maybe it’s a noodle thing. New Mayfair swankpot Tempo’s kitchen is headed up by one Yoshi Yamada but apart from some very sashimi-ish carpaccios of fish and a belter of a lemon tart, the flavour is Italian to the core. [...] butternut squash risotto with an astonishing depth of buttery flavour; a dense, chewy but excellently flavoured rabbit and pistachio tortelli in a quantity of sage butter (Yamada sure likes his dairy). There are so-now cicchetti –Venetian-style small plates – of spicy n’duja crostini, seared octopus with apple and pomegranate. These are also available in the upstairs bar, which is beautiful – a luxurious, creamy rococo room and that rarest of London things, a hidden gem."
