21 Covent Garden in City of London, Westminster

Five of us called in while in London nearby for a business lunch. Very different as you have to do down into an underground area. The decor is modern but with an industrial/classic feel. I am not a fan of pizza but we all ordered pizza as recommended by one of our group and I am glad we did as it was very good - as far as pizza goes. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend for somewhere interesting and quirky. The only down side was it was a bit pricey but I suppose we were in London!

Covent Garden es un paseo recomendable, especialmente cuando se buscan lugares interesantes para comer o tomar.

日本のスタイルとほぼ同じです。ここはアメリカなので、少しユニークにアレンジしていると思いました。まずはじめにだし汁とつけるソースの選択ができます。辛さの調整ができます。ベジタリアン用にマッシュルームや豆腐が用意されています。みんなで食べるのでなく、1人ずつIHのコンロと鍋が用意されています。具が少し違い、卵、トッポギ、カボチャ、ブリッコリーなど。

No probamos comida pues se escapaba de nuestro presupuesto, pero el lugar merece la pena ser visitado, pintoresco y con mucha vida!

There were 6 of us here in the day for part of a hen do. We had plenty of drinks and the food was fabulous! Will definitely visit again.

Love Covent Garden! All the great fashion and make up stores in one place. Lots of Nice places to eat. The street artists give the place so much flair.

Este remozado lugar constituye una opción interesante no solo por los locales comerciales y gastronómicos del propio mercado sino por toda el área adyacente, repleta de comercios, pub y teatros.

Когда вам надоесть британская еда во время долгих прогулок по Лондону - идите сюда! Дети точно это оценят! Отличная итальянская кухня для замученных фиш-энд-чипсом :))

Estuve en Londres por sólo un fin de semana con mi casa-mate, somos de Milán, decidimos pasar unas vacaciones en Covent Garden, en 21 bar ... no estoy seguro sobre nuestra decisione.

profundo de las entrañas de un restaurante subterráneo exprimido contra un tanque de peces, con asientos y pasos hundidas en la mesa, llena de juerguistas de Navidad, un fracaso. No! tan divertido! El personal es estupendo, buena comida, vino razonable, y servicio excelente, la izquierda feliz y repleto. Bien hecho.

Este restaurante tiene mesas en el exterior en el Covent Garden, que son encantadores. En enero, cuando hace frío y llueve, tienes que comer dentro. El restaurante está situado en la planta baja prácticamente por debajo de la carretera. Es bastante pequeña y llena de gente.

When we finally found it we were totally unsure of where we were meant to go for food and staff were whizzing in and out of a door which was the kitchen and no one asked if we were ok, when we were finally told abruptly that it's down the stars (in the tiny kitchen area) we were shown to a table and which my partner was glad it was happy hour on the cocktails still! We ordered our food and it was really nice! And for the price completely spot on! Couldn't fault the food! However the one thing we were disgruntled by was the 12.5% added on for a tip, I don't feel we got the personal service to add on a 10 pound tip at all!! And not only that because the bill came after happy hour we were charged full price. As we felt we were being a lead on a little to take our money as much as possible and as quick as possible we didn't stay for another drink as first planned when we chose to eat there. We were in a awkward spot where people were knocking our chairs to get past and standing right next to table having conversations. So this put a damper on the evening and chose else where to drink and continue our evening! But I will emphasise that if you are going out a good food then I really can't fault the place.

We visited this restaurant for lunch prior to going a matinee at the theatre. Very good service and wonderful pizzas. Highly recommended

Nice layout of restaurant. A number of small alcoves so ideal for couples. Food reasonable but slightly limited menu.Service was adequate but it took too long for my bill to arrive and I had to ask twice.All in all a reasonable experience, but I've had better.

I love going to London and sitting outside in Covent Garden watching the hundreds of tourists walk by. And I like italian food so it's a win win. I had a margarita pizza with chicken which was perhaps a bit greasy but I still ate it all as I was very hungry and love pizza but there lovely thin bases so they are nice. We also had the beef stew which was fab and a mushroom pizza and goats cheese pizza. Quite expensive but you are paying of the scenery. A treat for the hard workers!

This is a nice place to stop and eat when touring Covent Garden. It has an informal atmosphere, very welcomming.Service is friendly and food quality above average.Prices are a little expensive, which is no surprise considering the top-rated location.

We had not booked in advance, but the friendly receptionist managed to sort couple of tables for our large group, and we were all seated within minutes.Pizzas were everybody's main choice, and these were excellent.The waitress was extremely helpful, and sorted out split / smaller dishes for the children in our party.

Endroit très agréable , malgré le lieu très touristique, pour prendre un verre.Antipasti délicieux,( croustini)Les pizzas sont très bonnes...Une bonne adresse!

Wir waren zwischen Weihnachten und Silvester in London und haben uns aufgrund der wirklich sehr guten Lage des Restaurants entschieden hier zu essen. Absolut empfehlenswert! Die Pizza und Spaghetti waren wirklich sehr lecker!! Und das Bier natürlich auch. Meine Empfehlung: Pizza Figaro, Pasta Courgette & Ricotta! Unfassbar lecker! Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich und die Lage, draußen direkt an dem großen Platz, ist unschlagbar.

As a party of 8 (4 children in toe!) we looked for a place for a quick lunch. We saw 21 and asked if they have a space for us, thinking they are only in the piazza. The helpful lady showed us inside and downstairs into what opened up to be in impressive (small and snug- but big at the same time) restaurant. Its like entering the tardis! We got seated next to an impressive fish tank, which entertained the kids to no end. We were in a booth that was like a cave, it was very cosy and nice. We ordered pizzas, garlic bread and olives. The food was delicious! The olives have jalapenos on them so they are spicey. The pizzas are really excellent. They are very big though- one pizza is enough to share between 2 adults. Be warned though- it is a pricey restaurant and the bill quickly mounts up. So if you are in the area- give it a try :)

Friendly service even in the busiest of times, I suggest you head on up to the heated balcony to catch a great view of the street performers. Always a much nicer crowd on this balcony than any other in the vicinity!! Bottles of wine to suit all budgets and reasonably priced given the prime location

Friendly staff, good Italian food, pizza, pastas and stews. A limited choice but fine, vegetarian and meat dishes. Authentic pizzas and pasta. We only had the one course and a couple of us had drinks, think with the service charge it cost about £18/head. The building is semi underground and this provides an interesting setting. It's seemed less busy than some of the other restaurants in Covent Garden.

Just having a quick Christmas visit to London and the Transport museum (very good) and stopped here for a drink over looking the street acts. Great view, fun to see the crowd and the performers and good service. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and we enjoyed the time there (still enjoying it as I type)

We had a lovely meal here. The food was very tasty and the service was also very good. The menu was quite small but there was sufficient for us to choose and we don't eat meat. The beetroot cured smoked salmon was particularly good. Overall, a tasty meal with a fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyable alfresco lunch.Great staff, great food and the best spot in Covent Garden! Love it!!!

Pizza was very nice, however the staff service was poor. The manager was argumentative and domineering, whilst the waitress was slow and inattentive - except when collecting the bill. At one point she leaned over us to collect the two plates - which had been empty a while - only to pull her hands away in order to turn around and coo over the newly seated family's baby. May I add the family with the baby had been seated by my friend and I who were smoking at the table (the baby placed closest to where the ash tray was). This made both parties feel exceptionally apologetic and uncomfortable. So yes, good pizza, but is it really that much better than many other places in London?At that price, certainly not.

Popped in for a few drinks. Great atmosphere on the balcony. Stayed warm with the heaters in mid December. Great service from the staff. Would highly recommend

We stopped off here for Lunch while visiting Covent Garden and had a great authentic Pizza and Italian Carbonara. (We do tend to order the same sort of food often!). We visited during the lunch rush, but they found us a table without a wait and our food arrived promptly and we were looked after well.

We wanted a nice Italian meal around Covent Garden and found this online, London is so busy and sometimes you look at a place and its bursting at the seems so imagine you would never get a table which is why we booked up. On arrival it was raining, they have a lot of outside area covered over which was heaving with people, I thought we may be sitting amongst the throng of the crowd and eating soggy pizza but we went up to a member of staff and because we had booked we were ushered straightaway downstairs which was absolutely delightful, full of character and had a lovely cosy ambiance. We ordered an antipasti platter of meat cheese and bread to start. This alone would have been sufficient for the meal, for our mains we both had pizza and although they were really lovely neither of us could finish because we had so much to eat, if you knew my other half that doesn't happen often so you certainly get good portions here needless to say I can't comment on deserts but wine was good and not expensive. Our whole meal with a bottle of wine and water came to about £77 which I think was fantastic value for the great food and fantastic service that we had. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

I attended a christmas meal here this week and the food was lovely. Well presented, good value and good portion sizes. I had the prawn cocktails, the shredded beef stew and the poached pear. I must say the chocolate pot looked amazing. The only thing I wasnt keen on was that there was no access for one of our injured staff members but the organiser should of checked this and that there was a big pillar half way down our table so was quite seperated! Good value, service was good, a little slow but they were so busy you can let that go, Would reocmmend.

Stonebaked pizza to die for, great wine, great friendly cheery service, nice atmosphere sat outside looking at the Xmas Tree with outdoor heaters on. Thank you!!!!! Oh great wine too!

Visited for an afternoon coffee, one latte and one liqueur. The liqueur was fine, but the latte could have been a little hotter.

The service is excellent so polite, funny and attentive. The crab linguine is the best linguine I have ever tasted. To top it all the toilets are nice and clean. Why would you not visit this restaurant? I cannot wait for my next visit to London. Thank you

A superb experience. Excellent, reasonably priced food which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Huge portions and great drinks selection. We were lucky enough to catch the happy hour which was an added bonus. We were downstairs in the vaults on a fabulous table- very warm and cosy. Staff were really excellent. Highly recommended! Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Stubbled upon this nice place after wandering around the stores in Covent Garden & watching a magic show. Seated outside by the heaters and was served promptly. I had the crab linguine & my friend had the spaghetti & meatballs. I really have to talk up the fantastic service because as our plates were taken away after the meal my friend got spaghetti sauce on her sweater and was trying to get it out with water. The waiter must of seen and came back with soda water, was brilliant & attentive service. Finished the night off with a chocolate dessert & cup of tea. Be prepared that the Covent Garden tube may close and you will have to walk to the next one.

What a great place this is, the environment is excellent and the facilities are good. The food was very good with a reasonable price for the area. My only complaint was the outdoor area heating could be improved, having said that is was a very cool evening and the warmth that was provided was very welcome there was just not quite enough of it. All,in all well recommended amongst a set of tough competition.

I have visited London twice in the last couple of months and stayed in the Travelodge Covent Garden (which I would also recommend for a cheap stay and basic room).Both of my visits I have ended up eating at 21, much to my joy! Amazing pizzas at a very reasonable price for the setting and standard of food. I have eaten both in the restaurant downstairs and also in the Covent Garden square- where 21 has lots of seating.The bar upstairs is also great for nice cocktails after the meal, although I would recommend booking a table as it gets quite busy.I will definitely be going again in the future.

We came here to celebrate my daughters 25th birthday, we had a brilliant night. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, you're made welcome as soon as you step through the door. The food was top whack! Soft shell crab, spaghetti and meatballs, beef brisket, spatchcock chicken all spot on. The chocolate pot design rt was an artery closer, mmmmm! The cookie and ice cream sandwich was larger than expected (no complaints there) the boss couldn't decide wether to climb eat or eat it, she went for the latter and it was fantastic! Very friendly waitress which helped make for a perfect evening. When we left, we decided to have a drink in their dining area in the piazza, the waiter (a really friendly guy from Tenerife) asked my daughter for ID, it made her night! Fantastic restaurant!

Precioso mercado, ambiente navideño, música en directo, gran oferta comercial tanto artesana como industrial. recomendable

My friend and I were going to the Royal Opera House and were looking for something fairly affordable in the area. I found this place through one of the restaurant booking sites and went for the set menu. When I got there, I noticed that there were a couple of free tables outside and since it was fairly mild and there were heaters, I asked if I could sit outside. The answer was "yes" but the set menu does not apply outside (!!). As I did not want to pay a fortune, I decided to sit inside, which was almost empty. The area looks okay but being in the LG floor means that there is no signal so I could not reach my friend. No wi-fi either so no communication with the outside world. And some people may argue that this is good because it's nice to have dinner with someone without phones etc etc but it's extremely difficult when you try to arrange to meet with someone. When I asked about wifi, I got a funny reaction from the person working there (it must have been the reservations manager or something, not one of the waiters as they were all nice and friendly) as if I told them that the restaurant was dirty! I was not asking for anything unreasonable. Anyway, I had to go up and down the steps to be outside a couple of times to send my friend a message then up again because someone my husband was popping in to say hello. They could not find the place so I spent all this time going up trying to explain them. The food was okay but nothing wow. Service was slow and we did not have time for the 3rd course or a coffee as the show was to start. Our reservation was for 6pm and the show started at 7:30pm and we only had 2 courses. There is plenty of choice in Covent Garden so I would not return.

I wish I'd known about this place before. It's a little gem and I think what made it a more enjoyable experience was that the service was so good. After the lunch I was looking at my map and a passing waiter asked if he could help. That's the sort of thing that sets them apart - that and the excellent pizzas. All round this is a great place, good surroundings, excellent service, delicious food. What more could you want?

This was not our first visit here and won't be our last. During a weekend break we decided to visit on Saturday night after the theatre. We wasn't sure about opening times so upon arrival we asked if they was still serving and was welcomed by the staff and shown to a table in the basement, on previous visits in warmer weather we have been seated outside. The staff were very cheery and served us promptly, the food was delicious. This restaurant is well worth a visit.

I was pleasantly surprised, this restaurant has fantastic food at reasonable prices, i would recommend to anyone and everyone, i will definitely be going back, the only thing i would suggest is that you book in advance because it is so popular. Happy eating!

Ce restaurant est bourré de charme, leur salle en sous sol voutée est vraiment très belle et décorée avec soins. J'ai pris une pizza et wahou elle était excellente et vraiment bien garnie ! Un très bon restaurant, à tester

I've never eaten here but their upstairs bar with terrace is one of my favourite spots in London. The cocktails are delicious and not too unreasonably priced. The view out onto the plaza is great, especially in the summer although it can get very busy on the balcony. It's a great place to have a chilled drink before hitting the clubs or social gathering with friends

un endroit magnifique ( Covent Garden) , une terrasse chauffée , de très bonnes pizzas et pâtes. un service agréable et souriant.... rien à redire , si ce n'est une addition un peu trop salée !

Un fascimo raffinato coinvolgente una chicca da non perdere un posto davvero incantevole!!! Particolare sembra di entrare in una fiaba

Booked a table for lunch with friends at 21 Convent garden on a weekend. When we arrived we had to look around for the entrance of the main restaurant, as there was also an open-air section of the restaurant. We were led down to the basement that reminded us of a wine cave, with brick walls and wooden accents. The server was friendly and quickly brought us the menu. We decided on sharing some starters; the crostini selection, croquettes and risotto to start, and ordered the baby chicken and fish as a main. The crostini and croquettes were very tasty, but the risotto was definitely the highlight; creamy and full of truffle taste. The Spatchcock (baby chicken) was well cooked and tasty. The fish was good, but nothing special. Overall, it was a great lunch. Next time though, I would dine in their open-air section that over looks the Convent garden square.

Un excellent petit chardonnay à 5,50 £ en plein coeur de Covent Garden sur la terrasse de ce restaurant, située sur la place. Sous la chaleur des braseros et non loin des chants des artistes et des spectacles de rue. Service efficace vu le nombre de clients aux tables.

Had a pleasant evening here and really enjoyed the experience. We were here for cocktails and had a meal also. The staff were friendly and very pleasant. You can also sit outside in a covered area which would be my choice in better weather but a bit too cold for same on our visit. The food and drinks were reasonable for the centre of London.

We turned up late one Saturdsy, after having watched a play at the Vaudeville Theatre in The Strand. Despite the lateness of the hour (10:30ish), we were seated and served promptly. We ordered a fairly basic pizza with proscutto and rocket; the quality of the pizza was quite amazing... the proscutto being quite excellent and the pizza itself being light,crisp and delicious. The staff were polte and friendly, recommending some unusual but very enjoyable ales. All in all a delightful experience.

The food we had was terrible!My friend felt sick after having a pizza! I had a very oily baby chicken!It is heavily overpriced and they force you into 12.5% service chargeI do no recommend!

We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night but within 10 minutes they found us a table for four in the basement. Loved the tables tucked into cozy corners. The staff was pleasant and very helpful. We enjoyed the appetizers and food, and the dessert was fabulous. Try the cider poached pear, you won't be disappointed!

We stopped in to share a a few bottles of wine and a last minute pizza. They were both equally delicious, and the balcony is a nice vibe for the 20- 30 age group for a few drinks and a chat.Very lively area, so the place complements Covent garden.

Its location is great, probably very suitable for dinner. I went there for lunch, maybe it's just my food, but I find it quite mediocre and not that great. Personal opinion. But the atmosphere is great.

Pouring rain and a busy morning left us wanting a good lunch in Covent Garden, we literally went to the first place we saw that did Italian food and I'm so glad we did. There was outside seating for very brave souls but they also have 2 floors of indoor seating. It's beautifully decorated inside, lots of photos of film stars - some autographed to the owner's family, and the staff were lovely. They do a very reasonable 2 or 3 course lunch special and I found a pizza on the menu that I hadn't seen since we were in Rome! My friend's macaroni cheese was delicious and my pizza was excellent. We both had dessert and they too were excellent, very innovative way of serving the chocolate pot in a kilner jar and my gelato was served with a cup of espresso and a shot of hazelnut liqueur to pour onto the gelato as I pleased. Service was quick, efficient and friendly and I think this was my favourite restaurant in my whole stay in London. It is definitely on my list of places I must visit again next time I go to London. Very highly recommended indeed.

Busy place and was lucky to get a table for two outside. Great to sit and watch the street entertainment, just ordered a couple of pizzas which were clearly home made and very tasty. For the location not over expensive

Lovely food and wine, the pizzas are really rustic Italian and were delicious and the house wine was good and inexpensive. Definitely recommend this place for a quick lunch or an afternoon of sitting and drinking and looking out over Covent Garden.

This place is a hidden gem of Covent Garden. Excellent food, especially pizzas, friendly and helpful service, nice background music, cool photos on the walls - all this made our visit very enjoyable. We will definitely come again here.

Hopped in for a pizza before going to the theatre. Place was very busy but we got the food much quicker than we expected. It was just plain good pizza, nothing to fancy but still very good.

This is the perfect place to eat and drink while watching the street entertainers in Covent Garden especially with the sun shining. A good selection of light dishes as well as pizzas and other plates with an Italian twist

Delicious proper Italian food, crispy pizzas, lovely sharing platters and great location. Waitress got order not quite right but was corrected with no fuss at all, lovely!

Booked a table for late afternoon/ early evening dinner with a friend at 4.30. Understandly the place was quiet at that time. We were led downstairs from the hustle of Covent Garden piazza to the vaults under the building. Has a nice feel, lots of booths and even though a lot of tables it doesn't feel packed in! We ordered drinks to start and then a sharing board. It was nice, lots of variety and presented well. We then had a figaro pizza and the crab linguine as mains to share. The pizza was great but the pasta was a bit sticky. The flavour was lovely but as you put your fork in it the entire contents of the bowl were trying to leave with the fork. We seemed to have an ongoing issue with getting drinks. We'd order then for all bar one order we had to remind someone.Don't get me wrong it was a nice meal and the guy who came on duty for the evening shift as a waiter was better than his predecessors but I don't think the service we received warranted the service charge that was included in the bill. I probably wouldn't hurry to go back.

I came across this restaurant while wandering around Covent Garden on 19/09/15 it was just about 12.30 and starting to get busy, but we managed to get a table outside on the lovely sunny afternoon. We ordered two pizzas - probably one of the best I've had in a long time. All of their food looked really good, and although the menu wasn't huge, it had enough choice for everyone. Really lovely Italian food!

stop there for a lunch pizza. great location obviously, but the everything else was great as well. the pizza was good, the service, the beer of course, all helped to complete a lovely afternoon

We love Covent Garden and the terrace of the restaurant is the best place to sit and watch the world go by. The menu is very good from light bites to pizzas etc. It is great to sit there with a nice glass of wine and some antipasto watching the buzz of CG. The staff were very helpful as there were 8 of us in our group, although there wasn't a table for all 8 they found us 2 tables of 4 next to each other. The quality of the food and service is excellent and the drinks menu is great and all at a reasonable price. We have visited this restaurant many times now and cannot fault it. Next time we are in CG we will definitely be going back.

The place was recommended by our good friends and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service was perfect. Very nice place to have some quiet time while being in Covent Garden.

Really lovely Italian food. Portions looked quite small at first but was actually the perfect amount.My favourite thing about this place is the location. They have an outdoor area where you can sit and watch the world go by. We ate outside and were able to watch the street performers whilst we are. Loved it!

We went to 21 before the theatre for my birthday, and so had the pre-theatre menu. We had allowed almost 2 hours before the show started, so it should have been fine; also surely the nature of the pre-theatre menu is that it is quick?? Not the case; the food was painfully slow and didn't come out until almost 7 (the show started at half past!!!) despite us frequently asking. When the food did come out it was completely wrong; not even things from the menu we had ordered from!! It was not like it was a complex order; four margarita pizzas and a couple of pastas. I am vegetarian and was given a pizza covered in meat. I was told there was no time to make anything else for me and so I spent my birthday meal picking bits of meat off a pizza which I then had to wolf down just so I had something to eat. My grandma's pasta was cold. And the food we did get wasn't even nice (even overlooking the fact that it was late, cold and wrong). So upset, and then we had to absolutely sprint to the theatre where we nearly weren't allowed in because the show had started. Horrible. It was meant to be a special trip for my birthday, had taken the day off work to come up, and 21 royally ruined it.

Ate here pre theater one evening. We ate downstairs as it was chilly outside which turned out wonderfully for us as we were together for a last night as a family in London and had peace and quiet to talk and laugh and share. The service was excellent. The waiter very helpful with suggestions and in creating a vegan dish for my daughter. They are willing to make changes to listed items if possible. The menu is small, but everything was excellently prepared and everyone said his or her food was delicious. Location very convenient and on a nice evening sitting outside would certainly lend itself to people watching.

Went here for brunch would recommend the spicy sausage staff were helpfull nice atmosphere and lots to see while you are eating

Decided to visit 21 Covent Garden to have some pre-dinner cocktails. The bouncer/supervisor on the door wouldn't allow us in as my daughter was 15. She was only going to be drinking soft drinks! Not very impressed as the website gave conflicting information on her being allowed entry. Shan't be returning.

fui para um jantar com amigos e adorei o restaurante desde a comida maravilhosa ao ambiente confortável

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Sat outside 2 days in a row during a weekend trip to london. Fab service as well.

great place in Covent garden, lovely rooftop terrace for a drink, had a good meal in the restaurant, inexpensive for London, we had pizza and a pasta dish, no complaints, and the house wine was cheap, my second visit

Nice place to eat and the service was ok. A little pricey and dark lighting but I would go there again.

Not really knowing where to eat in Covent Garden we picked here as it was close to where the Main Street performers do their thing and it had a kids menu (ours are 3 & 7). Although we were seated quite close to the neighbouring table they were very good about it and it was a table right on the edge of the outside area which meant the children were able to go off and watch the street entertainers and we could see them. Yes, the food wasn't gourmet. Yes, it was a little overpriced, but you know that before you sit down. You are paying for the the location in Central London. The service was good, friendly and the food and drinks came out quickly. I would definitely return especially if we were sitting outside next to the street entertainers.

Agradable sitio dentro y fuera en el corazon de Covent GardenLas pizzas y pastas son muy vulgares, con salsas escasas y pesadasPone en carteles antiguos y modernos que es creperia-pizzeria pero no sirven crepesServicio mezcla de estudiantes extranjeros amables pero inexpertos, y algunos locales muy estiradosHay mucho mejores ditios para comer en las inmediaciones

We ate here before our theatre show. What a mistake. Our reservation was downstairs in what can only be described as a near dungeon. Low ceilings, poor lighting, cramped space. The decor is wobbly tables and chair and onld movie photos placed haphazardly around. The food was mediocre, nothing special at all. There are so many other options in Covant Garden, skip this one. In fact run away quickly.

We ate inside - downstairs in the cellar and it was stifling hot. No ac and tables were close together. We ordered baby chicken, salad, pizza, spaghetti and meatballs and the ravioli. The food was very bland and took forever. I won't be back. They have a nice upper deck but they don't have any food. Watch out for the 12% service charge. Its a tourist trap in Covenant Garden.

Stopped in here on our first night in London and had a meal, it was great sitting outside and watching everyone go by. The food was delicious especially the chocolate pot for dessert, was scrummy too.Overall a nice wee place to enjoy a meal that doesn't cost the earth.

si sa che Londra sia cara ma pagare una margherita in un tavolo all'aperto 20 euro a parte le bevande non è certo da tutti i giorni. Complice il desiderio del figlo di una pizza margherita ho fatto la prova della pizza londinese che non è delle migliori ma a detta di mio figlio non male....l'ho assaggiata ..non male ma certamente un po caruccia

Food was lovely but a little too much for us all, with food left on all plates.At £60 for 2 kids meals, pizza ,salad it did not feel good value for money.Don't think I shall revist

Restaurante con una oferta variada, ensaladas, pizzas, etc.Los precios dentro de la dinámica del centro de Londres. Calculad por persona unas 25 libras.Estuvimos en la terraza de arriba. Ambiente muy bueno en agosto.

Este restaurante ubicado en el mismísimo mercado de Covent Garden es simplemente perfecto! Tiene una terraza desde donde pude apreciar del show callejero y comer una Pizza INCREÍBLE y beber una copa de vino blanco, mi mesera hablaba español y fue sumamente amable y servicial, una grata experiencia sin duda!

Lugar con encanto. Visita obligada y paseo por los alrededores. Muy cuidado con actuaciones espontáneas muy buenas

If you fancy being shouted at by a waiter (he was working outside and had a beard).....then this is the place to be!!! You need to sit and be gone in 10mins if you don't want to be shouted at. My friend and I waited and waited to order drinks, then before our drinks arrived we were told to either order in two minutes and leave. Awful man.....basic customer service training needs to be addressed.

Thats really nice place for watch shows in covent garden square. I love meat but they are italian restaurant. Anyway I really enjoyed with my pizza and beers. Service was really good. Thank you 21!

Well, we came for a quick meal before a show, and that is what we got. Mediocre pizza, the antipasti were ok but not exciting. All well presented but not a lot of flavour. Ok for a quick grab before the show, indeed.

Covent Garden is a superb tourist draw, and great fun, but the downside can be indifferent to downright poor food and service from restaurants where almost all of the clients are tourists/passing trade. So it was with some concern that I booked 21 Covent Garden which is right on the piazza itself. We had an early booking for four (pre-theatre) so the restaurant was quiet when we arrived. The layout downstairs is a warren of alcoves and small spaces, great for a degree of privacy and probably much easier to converse in with friends when the place is full, unlike large open spaces where the noise can be deafening, . The waiter was friendly and helpful, even going back to the bar to check for me on the provenance of a Cuban rum that I had not had before. We ordered a selection of cocktails for the four of us, all of which were excellent,We followed this with a sharing plate of Italian meat and cheese which was plenty between us, and excellent quality. For main courses we had three of their enormous thin crust pizzas and a pasta dish. Everyone thought the food was excellent. Certainly I found I had plenty of toppings on my pizza and we were all happy and full by the end of the meal.Averaging out at £35 per head including service, those cocktails AND a very nice bottle of Pinot Grigio rosé made it a good value as well as a good quality meal for this area. Service was fine throughout and I would definitely go there again.

We booked a table for 6 of us at 21 to celebrate the 16th birthday of the daughter of a friend visiting from the US. As they were in the area we did some research on Italian restaurants in Covent Garden and thought 21 would be a good choice. The staff were all extremely helpful and nice; no complaints there at all. However when the food arrived we were very disappointed. The pizzas were £14+, very thin with minimal cheese & pepperoni and the pasta dishes looked and tasted as if they had been warmed up; not good at all.

Spent a sunny Saturday evening eating the most amazing pizza, with great atmosphere.Who could ask for more. Service was good. Tables are tight but even that was fun. Got to know the other couple on our table and it made the whole experience even better.Looked good inside too but loved being out right by the performers. Perfect London summer evening.

We had previously gone here and had enjoyed the atmosphere of covent garden. But it is the location that makes this and not the service! We were seated at 15.30 (not lunchtime or dinner time) . We ordered drinks and desserts. We were asked f there was anything else and as there wasn't our order was placed. However 10 mins later we were told we had to leave! As we didn't want main meals they could not serve us. It was so embarrassing being told to leave. We had our 2 young children with us who were both really upset. Everyone was looking at us as we were told we had to leave. No one mentioned we had to order a main meal and no one asked us how much we would order before we were seated. What was worse was waiting 10 minutes after ordering before being told we had to leave! Obviously the £30 we would have spent wasn't enough for them!!!! Clearly money means more than customer service. I know this review wont effect this business but would I go back---no chance!!!

We decided to eat here after walking past other visitors to the restaurant and having serious pizza envy. We dined outside in the piazza as the weather was so good and each enjoyed a lovely pizza and glass of wine. You can at least pretend you are in Italy :)

I have visited both the 21 restaurant (difficult to find) and their cocktail bar The Print Room, and would recommend both. Great Stuzzichini and great cocktail. Cocktail bar can be very busy. Would definitely go back.

I pre-booked a table at this restaurant with my husband for his 60th birthday whilst we were visiting London accompanied by our grandchildren aged 11 and 16 years. I had informed them that it was a special occasion and asked for a good table. On arrival we were shown to a table in the main restaurant, they have a roof top terrace so I was a little disappointed but accepted what we were offered. Once we had finished dining we paid and made our way to the roof top to have a final drink but were stopped as we were told it was for diners only. On the way out a large outdoor section with benches and tables was cordoned off and approximately 75% of which was available. We sat ourselves down but then were told again that this was for diners, although it was more or less empty we could not sit there. When I complained the staff member shrugged and said rules are rules. The food was good not great but the whole evening was spoiled by the restrictions and lack of flexibility - I wouldn't go here again.

Interesante visitarlo en la mañana antes de almuerzo. Variada oferta comercial y antigüedades. Buenos restaurantes.

Sulten etter byvandring, ja, vi fikk bord. Endelig, her er det god stemning og nydelig pizza og gode viner. Ja, vi hadde det helt topp!

Comemos spaghetti. Razoável, molho aparentemente industrializado. Serviço foi rápido. O local é agradável. Existem opções melhores em Covent Garden.

Awesome what away to spend a Sunday morning wondering around the shops listening to Italian lady singing opera
