22 Ventidue in Barking and Dagenham

Food was exceptional for the price !

Simply The Best ! Thank you for amazing service .

Food is amazing prices good and lovely staff would recommend

4 of us dined at 22 ventidue, 3 of us that had the meatballs all have food poisoning!

The food is delicious and service was impeccable. Highly recommend a visit

What a beautiful table! And I'll take a thousand to serve you.

Really good food and atmosphere.

Came here to this Italian restaurant for my birthday on a Saturday night, I had read a lot of good reviews and know a couple of people who have been here and enjoyed it. So booked a table for three, called up on the same day! It's just as well I did as it was very busy and it is a small restaurant. It does have some outdoor seating which in the warmer months will be nice. The food was superb! Very tasty! The waitresses were very friendly and sang me happy Birthday. The service was fairly quick considering they were busy. Great atmosphere! I would highly recommend. The desserts were great too!

Unfortunately the only veg was a large number of potatoes which had to mostly put to one side and make my own broccoli. Not as previously ordered - such a pity

What a lovely hidden gem, The food was delicious and waitress bora was exceptional. Will definitely be back. The outside bit was lovely to chill in, felt like i was in Italy and not dagenham . Can't wait to come back. Thank you!!

Excellent food. Cook at perfection.

Food was very late,not up to standard,at these prices they should buck their ideas up.

Best Italian food you can eat in whole London. Amd this is not a joke The owner is a Italian lady and the staff as well They got a 22.000£ real clay traditional hob Wich make the pizza as it should be. I m not a fan of macaroni but when i try i bite from my wife s plate, i was amazed. Greatly reccomend👍👍👍

live local so had been wanting to try this restaurant. walked in on saturday afternoon to reserve table for the evening. was met by a very welcoming helena who booked my table for 8pm. arrived at 8pm and it was quite busy and table wasnt ready. 5 mins and we were seated inside. they do have seating outside but it was quite chilly. helena was so nice with her strong italian accent. lol she really made the evening that extra bit special. my wife orderd prawn tempura for starters and main we had sea bass and a calzone. sides were salad and roast potatoes. the calzone was huge. desert was tiramisu which was awesome. overall great food, great atmosphere, and of course helena. dinner and drinks for two £80. but we probably could have done without the sides. would definetly come again and would definetley reccommend.

All good,many thanks,really friendly driver, great meal.

soggy pizza and dry rocket salads

Amazing meal. Wolfed them down in minutes. Thank you so much

Excellent! The atmosphere, warm, and friendly. I felt welcomed and enjoyed it, too. The quality of the food is as much as the quantities better than expected. The food was tasty and well presented. The service was excellent 👌 up to the last detail. Definitely, I will come again.

An absolute best! Lovely ladies by the tables and skilled chefs in the kitchen! Definitely will make this spot my weekly treat 🤍🤍🤍🤍

This beautiful local place is a hidden gem in Dagenham. Super authentic Italian food, made with love and served with some extremely joyful and happy staff! Always bustling with an amazing atmosphere, imagine if it was centrally located in a busier high street, would never get a table! I live locally and come here every so often for a nice fancy meal out without breaking the bank, when I’m tired of the classic fired chicken and unhealthy takeaways around.

Great food, made even better by the service! Worth every penny. Will definitely be back soon

second time in one week order arrived late

Fabulous restaurant cannot wait to come back.

Best ever lasagne, deserts and great staff. Well worth a visit

Always delivered on time, well packed, friendly courier and good food.

Visited this restaurant for the first time after seeing the reviews and it being local. I would of never of known it was here! From the moment of entering the service was second to none. Very polite and warming waitresses. Hats off to the chef! Even after I asked for some adjustments to the dish on the menu. I loved the amount of seafood included in the pasta. Nothing worse than having to seek prawns out. The food was delicious. There were two birthdays being celebrated whilst I was here and the staff go all out. It's lovely to see this so genuine. It is reasonably priced too which was really nice. It definitely delivers! Great for a date or a family meal. Cannot wait to come back thank you ladies!!!!

Had a family dinner here and the staff was amazing food was good and all round good experience will definitely be returning

This causey restaurant is outstanding, food, atmosfere and Elena's service was amazing, highly recommended. We will be back again. Thank you guys!

I dare you to go and eat a Pizza there and not be one of the top 3 in your life. For me it's the best I had in London period. 2 years later and the place still rock's. Food amazing, squeaky clean, staff polite. What more can you ask.

An excellent genuine Italian with excellent service and great food! Intimate with a family atmosphere.

Their food and service is always superb! They even gave us a treat!

A small, nice place with good food and friendly staff. We'll be back!

lovely polite delivery lady, and the food was hot, and very very tasty, the best little Italian restaurant in town ............takeaway food is just as good as if eating in the restaurant.....TRY IT

This place is a hidden Gem! The food was incredible. Genuine Italian food and service ❤️

I was looking for places to eat in Dagenham and I found this gem. I visited with a friend yesterday and we were not disappointed! The food was so authentic and delicious. You can tell it was cooked with love. Our waitress was so lovely and the ambience was amazing. Will be back 🫶🏽

I love this place and ppl inside are so lovely they treat you like a princess 👸🏻

Great food,friendy, delivery,will order again👍

Amazing restaurant. Excellent service. Really lovely atmosphere. Family feel. Wonderful authentic Italian cuisine. Can't wait to go back.

Worst Mel I have had from here, usually it is always fresh, hot and tasty. The Starter was really nice, but the steak was tough and I ended up throwing half of it away. Hope to enjoy the dessert.

I've had to rewrite this review as my first 5⭐️ review didn't do justice to this place. I was staying in Dagenham for a few weeks as part of a training course I was on and just happened to discover this absolute gem of a restaurant. It's a fantastic authentic Italian restaurant and tastes as good (if not better) than food I've eaten in Italy. I came back here with my two colleges 3 times as we enjoyed our first experience so much. The staff are absolutely lovely and the atmosphere is really nice, but the food is just outstanding. I had a range of dishes whilst I was there, the 22 pizza and the lasagne were probably my favourites along with the best tiramisu I've ever had (which I had again each time I returned) Definitely the best thing in Dagenham and look forward to returning when I'm on my next course! If I could give 6 ⭐️ I would.

Tried different things from the menu, but sadly the lasagne was burnt and very dry and the spaghetti very small… we love this place but not the best meal we’ve had from there

Love the food and prices, All staff are amazing and friendly, I have taken friends and family there to dine a few times now , we all.love it. Started off with takeaway delivery's last year during lockdown absolutely yummy, then started eating there after. I totally recommend this excellent restaurant 👌

I’m very fussy about food but I have to say that I ordered the best pizzas I've had in years. I ate the whole thing and wasn't bloated as the dough looks fresh and tasty… proper Italian!! very impressed with the food… I’ll definitely order again. Thanks

Everything about this restaurant was amazing, the staff was so friendly and the food was so delicious and authentic, definitely will be returning to try more items

Absolutely lovely food, restaurant quality 👍🏻

Unbelievable delicious food , we are regulars and always coming back , amazing service from the staff

Very lovely people.thanks so much for the food

I've ordered from here on 10+ occasions now. It's never a bad meal. Always lovely fresh food. Large portions and reasonably priced. Calamari, pizza, Tres Leche, Spaghetti Bolognaise, all amazing.

Drove past a few times and often wondered what it was like. Decided to give it a go and what a great decision that was! Felt like an odd place to have an Italian restaurant! However, the food was amazing, great service by the lovely waitress and lovely atmosphere! Kudos 👏🏻 to the chef! Highly recommend and would most definitely be back soon!

Prices have gone up as much as 50% since i last ordered a few weeks ago & portions are a lot smaller. I know that costs have gone up everywhere but this is ridiculous!!

I have family in Dagenham who have been raving to me about this restaurant for ages and yesterday was the day my auntie took us there to have family meal. Mama Mia 🤌 I instantly understood after the first bite why its highly rated. Unbelievable tasting food and the staff are very friendly making you feel welcome. If you are in the vicinity and fancy proper Italian food that doesn't come out of Tesco fridge then definitely pop in and enjoy authentic Italian food 🍝.

Food was absolutely amazing, portions were amazing. Unfortunately I never received my 2 bottles of coke, and when you've paid £6 specifically for glass bottles it's frustrating.

Hot and very tasty , amazing value .

waited over 1 hr for rhe food to ve varly warm. the carbanara had puddles of oil. the chicken apollo was tiny cold no peperoni or chesse.

Excellent food, arrived early as well 👌🏾

Amazing and proper Italian food 👌👌

Lovley food. Good price and really friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lamb chop grill extremely tiny, not fit for an adult. The restaurant is far too sometimeish. They pick the sizes of lamb when it suits them. Ordered twice from them last week and the lamb chops were perfect. Its £20 for 4 chops and chips. They gave us a £6 voucher off, so we used it last night and the lamb chops were unbelievably so small, we just burst out laughing 😃 trick off the trade.....they make you think your saving, but their really saving on the meat.... Not buying off them again, because you don't know if you will receive a full dinner that night.

First time being disappointed with Ventidue. Delivery driver rung me, he didn't get out of his car. I had to take the food from the front seat. Fries tasted like they had been reheated in microwave. Pasta portion was half the size we normally get.

The Diavola pizza is the pizza I always order when I go to a restaurant for dinner. It was the first time we ordered it home. I want to mention that the Diavola pizza was so spicy that we couldn't eat it, it was too spicy. We are totally disappointed because we had 3 pizzas and two of them were Diavola. Please be respectful of the food, it has to be edible.

Amazing food and the staff were so friendly, would definitely go back!

Fabulous food every time. Always red hot. Totally lovely restaurant

As good as always, really surprised with early delivery.

Not your run if the mill pizza joint. Their pizzas are delicious and the prawn pasta is amazing. Friendly and quick service. Our go to Italian restaurant in Dagenham

Delicious flavoursome & fresh food, attentive service from Christain & excellent value for money. Jug of iced water & limoncello a nice touch 😊 A truly hidden gem of a restaurant in Dagenham, mum & I definitely be returning to sample more of the impressive menu.......5 stars!

we always buy pizza from 22. I have to say this is the first time that we had to wait nearly 2 hours from then order been placed. even though delivery time was expected to be between 7.40-8pm, it arrived late!

SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! The kind man who served us was so kind and full of energy :D

I'm a fussy eater usually, picked the Pollo Alfredo with fries hoping for the Best. The most spectacular meal I think I've ever had, fries were amazing, chicken was divine and the sauce was utterly delicious. Cristian and Cristina were amazing hosts! If I ever come back to London, I'd come back here first!

Absolutely amazing! Did not expect this in Dagenham. Knew it would be good when we mentioned in local pub that we had booked a table and they exclaimed how lucky we were. Nothing to fault here. Atmosphere, food and value for money. Just fabulous! Christian & Cristina have made this a not to miss culinary experience.

Amazing food and service A⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️really kind thanks you guys!!!

This is our favourite Italian we visit as often as we can the food is delicious and the service is friendly and welcoming! An amazing little oasis tucked away in Dagenham 🥰.

Lovely local restaurant with really good food. Avarage £25 per person for a dinner.

Lovely Italian restaurant, friendly welcoming staff. My daughter booked up for her birthday meal with the family. Everyone enjoyed their food. Lots of variety. Would definitely come back again.

very good and nice, however the sun was shining in my eyes and in my personal opinion, i found a certaing thing anoying, there was a constant clicking like noise outside on the table nearest to the glass which has 4 seats, the white box kept making iratating noises. Overall, amazing

Very nice people… get a new menu because if my allergy… for free! Very nice restaurant. We come back this week !

22 Ventidue is the BEST Italian in the area. We’ve been here over 20 times. You must come and see it for yourself.

Celebrated a birthday with the family. Food was amazing. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

So glad we stumbled across this lovely restaurant. Very friendly and funny staff. Food was so tasty. Get the tiramisu!

Perfect atmosphere, lovely, friendly & attentive staff. Always go above and beyond. Food is 10/10😍🤤

What an amazing restaurant, food was absolutely sublime, beautiful presentation and the taste… wow. Fantastic service and everyone was really kind and friendly. I will be back!!!!

First time coming. Definitely won’t be the last! Delicious food, good atmosphere and reasonable prices! We left very happy and very full! The service was amazing, lovely and friendly staff!

Thank you, all was so good and tasty 😋

Why did we not come here earlier? Great intimate Italian restaurant (you can see into the kitchen while food is being prepared) which a great addition given the lack of quality Italian food in the borough. Service was friendly and prompt, the food was better than expected. Bruschetta was great, the pasta tasted very good and the pollo fungi dish went down well too. If I had to give something a miss would be the panna cotta as it wasnt as creamy as I’d like and feel like the gelatin may have taken away taste. Unfortunately, the takeaway experience was not great. The food was lacking and had I ordered for takeout, I think I would have never come to the restaurant. Definitely a place to dine in at and not one for takeout.

The staff was absolutely amazing, very friendly family vibe. Was lovely to see that 🥰 and the food omg so tasty 🤤 mouth watering! P.S. shout out to the gorgeous blonde that gave us shots on the house! 🫶🏻

We liked lasagna but it was cold with little meat and no cheese, pure dough I didn't like it

Cristian provides 1st class service, great atmosphere, comfortable feeling, friendly and the food is EXCELLENT, I'm going to make this my regular restaurant 😀

First time I have been here even though I live in broad st excellent food excellent service and Christian was a really great guy I would recommend this to everyone prices are very good will definitely go back very soon

Absolutely lovely as always! Thank you!

Loved it so much we ordered 2 night in a row! Seriously best takeaway delivery we’ve ever had in London (we had pastas, calamari, salads, garlic bread and desserts). Proper authentic Italian food by a chef that knows what they’re doing! Lady on the phone excellent help as well. Perfect.

Amazing quality food. I could eat here every day

Really happy with our order :) Had to call restaurant to notify them of nuts allergy before ordering and the lady on the phone was really helpful despite the restaurant sounding very busy. Fantastic food quality and value, will definitely order from here again and recommend!

Very enjoyable meal. Lovely staff and service.

Wow wow wow seafood pizza was something wow, presentation and taste 10of 10. Love it. Its my pizza nr1. Not for a first time they surprise me.

Today for the third time when I come to this restaurant. When I arrived, I sat down and put my personal things (my bag and a small bottle of water that had medication in it) on the table while I got comfortable and a girl who works at the restaurant came and opened my bottle of water that had medication in it and she put it in a glass without my permission. After she had emptied my bottle she told me that it was not legal to have my bottle with water on the table, something that seems unacceptable to me and I told her that she had to ask me first before touching my personal things and his colleagues started to laugh something that still she makes me angry. My main anger was because she touched my personal things without my permission and her colleagues were laughing. As a professional waitress you should not touch a customer's personal things, first you have to ask and then you touch. The waitress's behavior made me very angry, I got up very angry and left. Bad service with unprofessional staff. I will never come back!!

A great servicing and the authentic italian taste 😜❤

Delivery driver went to wrong address so food was cold. Otherwise would've been pleased.

A rare gem of a place in a totally unexpected location. Found by accident. Super friendly and attentive service and really high quality food. Also Great T Bone and even Tomahawk steaks... and the 'Tres Leche' desert.. wow, just wow! 😍🥰

Food as always delicious. Arrived piping hot. Added bonus of the fantastic discount and free dessert.

It's a quiet, clean place and the food is great. Optimal
