Amarcord Museum Italian Restaurant in Camden

Absolutely amazing. We were walking looking for somewhere to eat. Was greeted with a friendly smile and a lovely welcome. We chose a 2 seater table but when they saw we had quite a few things cluttering the table, they asked if we preferred a bigger table. Nothing was too much trouble. Most importantly the food was amazing. Absolutely perfect. I've never tasted anything like it. Everywhere was lovely and clean. The service made us feel like we were the only people there. Perfect end to our stay in London. Thank you

Called in as the display of cakes in the window were amazing and really pleased to see gluten free options, quite expensive but you are in middle of London, very welcoming and lovely atmosphere just what we needed on our way back to our hotel

This is your post museum stop. Heck you may want to go here first & carb up for touring the British museum. First off-Amarcord has a real nice vibe. Nice atmosphere. Nice store front. Eating are is charming and relaxing. Crew-fantastic. Professional. Polite. Answered uniformed touristy questions patiently. Made excellent suggestions. Food-oh my god soooo good. Nice presentation doesn’t hurt. But mostly the food is super tasty. Wine and desserts were likewise fantastic. Yeah, I recommend eating at Amarcord…before or after visiting the museum. Or both. Heck if I am ever lucky enough to find myself in London I’d go here again even if I pass on the museum.

The pastries in the window caught our eye so we decided to stop in. We were greeted and asked if we were two for lunch - we explained that we were there for a dessert and hot chocolate. Sultan kindly explained to us that the indoor tables were reserved for lunch diners [it's a small space inside and they are VERY busy], but since it was raining out, if we could finish in 30 minutes he's let us take a table. We discovered wy they are so busy - the desserts were absolutely delicious, and Sultan's attention and service were outstanding. Anytime we're in the neighborhood we'll stop by.

Excellent Cappuccino and light refreshments in food patisserie. The Italian waitress doesn't spread a good atmosphere and serves reluctantly. unfortunately sad. That's a massive point deduction for not feeling welcome. Very sad.

Un lugar con mucho encanto al lado del British Museum por lo que es estupendo para parar a comer después de la visita al museo. La comida riquísima ( tanto la italiana como el tradicional fish & chips ). La atención además exquisita. Desde luego un lugar para volver

Excellent restaurant for an Italian style lunch. Impecable, friendly service and unusually reasonable prices made this a great place for lunch, very close to the British Museum

Just nipped in for a couple of pizzas and beers on the way back to our hotel. Absolutely lovely! Nice friendly staff and a very reasonable price.

We had delicious pizza and a pasta dish and shared salad and lovely half bottle of Valpolicella. the food tasted very freshly made , the pizza crisp and the arrabiata pasta creamy and spicy. The wine was great and it was useful to have just a half-bottle as we were walking back to St Pancras. It's a small interior so it's very lively, very busy so not much room but great atmosphere.

Not the liveliest of places. Food was hot and tasty. The waitresses spent most of their time talking very loudly to each other, giving off a kind of 'couldn't care less' vibe. So so at best.

Welcomed in even though not quite open. Lovely and warm inside. Attractive interior. Prompt service and well cooked tasty food. We thought it was very good value for central London.

Absolutely loved our meal! My daughter had the Ravioli with Ricotta and Spinach (in a mushroom cream sauce), and I chose a lite bite with the calamari. They both were amazing. We will go back before our trip ends and both get the Ravioli. Bonus is they are a short walk from the British Museum.

The staff were attentive and courteous and provided a first class service. The food was tasty with decent portions and a good choice of classic Italian dishes

Nice italian resturant close to the british museum. Good italian food. Nice blonde waitress very helpful. Dessers are good also. Recommendable.

Average Italian restaurant with very few Italian on it except the names. Food is just good for hungry tourist. Service is friendly and the inside eating comfortable. Fair price.

Another 5* experience. A lovely warm sunny day for October in London. Sat outside on the street tables and had some lovely pizza. £14.95 each & 2 bottles of Coke Zero £4.15 Be careful , they do add 10% service charge, which is very cheeky. Again, a lovely pizza & staff great

There were 3 of us. I ordered the pepperoni pizza whilst the other two ordered the calamari & prawns with advocado. Whilst the pepperoni was nice, the calamari was average and the prawns was very poor. The calamari portion consisted of around 4 large ones which were nice and around 3 smalls ones which were very hard. The prawn starter was very watery and didn't taste fresh at all. The advocado that came with the prawns was nice though.

Abolutely wonderful place with excellent food, a very friendly staff and extraordinary "not your avarage"- Italian dishes. Great Ambiance. And a big plus is that you can also take wonderful 'canoli' pasty home. Excellent location just around the cornerj of the British museum. Be sure to reserve in advance as it can get really crowded in this populair restaurant.

Come la maggior parte dei ristoranti italiani a Londra, di italiano ha solo il nome. la pasta non era scotta, bensì cruda, un paio di maccheroni li lo spezzati con la forchetta e di sono rotti come se fossero crudi. Solo i turisti stranieri potrebbero mangiare qui, se siete italiani meglio evitare

Noticed the pasta/pizza salad and a glass of wine deal for £19.95. I had been to the British history museum and needed to kill some time before meeting family and my partner who had a meeting close by. Pasta was delicious as was the wine. Sat outside, watching the world go by and reading a good book whilst enjoying a further 2 glasses of wine. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped me when needing to shelter from the rain or from keeping my drink safe when needing to pop out. Thanks so much!

Loved our dinner here. We came after a late night visit to the British museum, this was just what we needed. Very friendly staff that recommended dishes to us. The food was delicious, the mozzarella the best I’ve ever had. We sat outside and it was very enjoyable. Took some cannolis to takeaway and they were delicious. Would make sure to come here again on my next London visit!

My family and I ate here twice during our trip to London, once for lunch and the other for dinner. Both times the staff was warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. We had a variety of items off of the menu, breads, pizzas, chicken cacciatore and gnocchi. Every item was splendid, fresh and seasoned wonderfully.

מסעדה איטלקית קטנה ומעולה, אווירה נעימה ושירות מקסים במיוחד עם תפריט יינות מרשים במיוחד. אפשר לשבת גם בחוץ, ברחוב שהוא מן סמטה קטנה, מה שאומר פחות המוני. מומלץ בחום

We were a bit unsure whether Amacord Restaurant would be good as not given it’s location which is such a tourist trap - and we were so pleasantly surprised! 4 girlfriends about to go to a comedy show, super hungry. We went for the set menus, any pizza /pasta, side salad and glass of fizz /wine or soft drink for £19.99. It was all great, the food and drink. Would highly recommend. And the staff really friendly and lovely from beginning to end. Thank you!

The food is excellent but forget about the staff. They behave like primadonnas, and stay next to the bar counter and one of the tables chatting along and never minding the customers. Since this is a restaurant the most important thing is the food, and that is very good. Busy at lunch hour, come before 12.30h

My wife and I were on our way to the Dominion Theatre Tottenham Court Road,London and as we arrived early we went looking for a restaurant to have a light evening meal.My wife had Lasagne and I had Pasta with Spinach and Sauce.We also had small dessert and coffee.The staff were extremely helpful, the food was excellent.The fact we had not booked a table made no difference, they welcomed us on board.

We avoided the soulless museum cafes and found this one just round the corner. There was a great welcome early afternoon and we all had coffee and one of the delicious pastries on display. They were all excellent and certainly we shall return. The cost for 4 was £36, including service, which is probably par for the course in this area.

Smiddags langs gelopen en top cannolli gekocht. En een extra gekregen. Savonds diner. Wowww wat goed. Vooraf garnalen en brood. Olijven van het huis. Goede sauvignon blanc 2 fles gedaan. Hoofd lgerecht lasagne en zeevruchten pasta. Alles zelf gemaakt. Toetje zelf gemaakte tiramisu. En tuurlijk kregen wij een cannolli van het huis. Zo gastvrij. Wat een feest Bati onze gastheer. Wij komen terug!!!!! Aanrader.

First of all: this is not an Italian restaurant. As an Italian person I refuse to consider Italian any restaurant that has chicken with pasta or that put pasta next to the cotoletta alla milanese. I ordered a cotoletta and I had to send it back: all the breadcrumbs was coming away from the veal. They send me another one in like 5 minutes and was basically the same. The food is not fresh. To make a cotoletta you have to wet the meat with eggs, then pass into breadcrumbs until it's covered with it. And then fry it: if it's freshly done it takes you,between preparing it and cook it, at least 30 min. Not five. And usually you can see that it's freshly done cause it's still hot. Mine was cold, not tender Absolutely not, I save just the people there who are really nice, but never again.

Adresse à éviter. La façade est jolie et attrayante. Cependant la nourriture était fade,pas digne d'un restaurant. Le personnel était...

Good food, good wine, good prices. What more could anybody need? Found by accident when looking for a pre-theatre meal. We will be back next time we are in town

Didn't really know the area and needed a restaurant for a business lunch, who doesn't love Italian food. Really enjoyed the food, reasonably priced considering its location, friendly service and clean

Though conveniently located and at first promising, the food is quite average and overpriced; service was literally awful. Don't recommend at all

Very conveniently located across the British Museum. Food was alright. Bit blend for my liking. Some pasta was OK. Food came out quite quickly. Service was really good though. They do charge 10% of service fee -> just to be aware. Definitely had better pasta...

Not really a good Italian. Staff was nice but bruschetta wasn’t bruschetta, just toasted bread with tomato and Penne Amatriciana was done with no bacon but with so e meat pieces and canned sauce.

We happened by chance on this lovely restaurant. We had pizza, salads, wine and dessert. The waitress and waiter were very attentive and welcoming. We were even given free tasty cannolis. My husband and ! especially loved our pizzas and would definately go back again...

The British Museum is simply amazing, but if you feel in need of some refreshment at the end of your visit, you won't be surprised to find yourself simply amazed at the prices they charge in their catering outlets. So just over the road and...

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, average food. We came here with our three year old, the staff were fantastic with him. We had a relaxed easy dinner. The food was average but the night was enjoyable.

Ein sehr freundliches Personal. Das Essen dauerte nicht lange und war lecker. Die Speisekarte ist übersichtlich. Gerne wieder

We stopped here after visiting the British Museum. It’s only one block away on a lovely street with pedestrian traffic only. There is both outside seating and inside seating. I had the BEST latte ever made by a really nice waiter/Barista and my handmade pizza...

A nice and cozy Italian restaurant with proper Italian food. Which the taste of was amazing, a bit of a let down was receiving only three small bruschettas, and beer was served in 330ml bottles. The atmosphere of the restaurant gives off a local town...

Very poor, Sons pizza was ok but not authentic, tagliatelle tasted like a jar of cockles had been mixed with oil and pasta and chilli. Very disappointed

We were down for London for the night and staying near the British Museum, it was sunny and this restaurant looked great with a pleasant outside area. I ordered the tagliatelle Gorgonzola and my husband had the lasagne. The curly haired waitress was very pleasant...

We lunched here on 13/4 following a trip to the British Museum which is 5 mins walk away. Small Italian restaurant with a window full of (overpriced) pastries. Serving staff were pleasant enough and drinks were provided quickly but we had to wait AGES for...

Found through Top Table as being "a stone's throw" from the Dominion theatre which is a bit misleading as it's about 15 minutes walk, very near British Museum. Tiny little traditional Italian trattoria with patisserie in window. Charming service and food was nice but nothing...

The risotto was average, red wine was dreadful (I tried two different ones), coffee burning hot. Friendly service though.

A delightful find very close to the British Museum. Good food that wasn’t overpriced. The restaurant was charmingly with very pleasant waiting staff. Just my daughter and I ate there today at lunch but we shall return with the rest of the family when next...

We visited Amarcord for a group birthday party. We had a great time, the service was superb and the food delicious.

What with lockdown, I hadn't been here for years. I used to love it - but now I will never be back. The menu has changed a bit, but not totally, and I identified some dishes I had liked. Ordered garlic bread, followed by chicken...

I stopped here for a quick lunch with my family and we ordered one GF amatriciana (with bacon) penne and two spaghetti Bolognese. I specified that I was coeliac and the waiter was prepared and kind. My pasta was nice, not an italian style (...

The food overall was disappointing; the pizza looked like it was purchased from Farm Foods; the garlic bread was cold, spaghetti bols was not a patch on mine and i’m certain the chips were McCains. The service was lacklustre. The table wobbled furiously with the...

After the late evening at the British Museum we saw this little restaurant. We had a smashing meal, we had wonderful battered courgette as a starter, I had the breaded chicken and my friend had spaghetti Bolognese with a fresh salad. All simple but very...

This is a pleasant little Italian restaurant a short walk from the British Museum in Bloomsbury, London. It’s decor is unfussy , uncluttered and contemporary, with clean tables which were suitably spaced for the current times. The menu offers a good selection of traditional Italian...

Visited yesterday with 4 friends after a visit to the British Museum. Very convenient, great food, value and service. Would definitely visit again.

Walked in on a whim, they were full but set up a table near the door just for us. Wait staff were very friendly and efficient. Only took minutes to serve our dishes. The food was extremely tasty and well prepared. 9 out of 10...

I visited the Amarcord Museum restaurant on Sunday 19 December with five colleagues from work. The servers were very friendly and the ambience was pleasant. From there it all goes downhill. We were expecting generous, hearty, homecooked food and unfortunately received minimalist dishes that were...

My first visit to this small restaurant, but hopefully not the last. Excellent food and friendly, efficent service. Only 5 minutes' walk from the doors of the British Museum. It's probably advisable to book if you want a table in the evenings towards the end...

The pizza is to die for!!! Amazing smell of garlic, it definitely made us wanna go inside. Amazing prices and outstanding service. 10 out of 10

Great pizza, friendly staff & great location - fantastico, Stupefacente, only words which can describe this lovely independent Italian

What a wonderful Italian place for food just 5 mins from Covent Garden but like night and day to the food served in Covent Garden Absolutely wonderfully cooked food , fantastic prices excellent house wine fabulous service don’t miss it .

Perfect late Sunday lunch with grandson and daughter after seeing NERO at BM. Excellent food, service and very clean and friendly. Will certainly return!

What a wonderful little restaurant. Very small little place, we were created by a lovely chap who was very happy to show us to our table. He was the only person front of house but took excellent care of us, and the other customers there...

having dined elsewhere and too full for dessert at the time, by the time we returned to our hotel, we fancied having coffee and dessert locally. this was one of only a couple of places open and when we said we only wanted dessert/coffees, the...

Very good family run restaurant, excellent food and service. Very friendly owner and his lovely daughter, even helped us with a little luggage problem;) Thank you

We stumbled upon Amarcord Restaurant by chance after visiting British Museum on a Thursday evening. We weren’t disappointed. The antipasto for 2 was exceptionally tasty. Very good value (by London standards), delicious Italian food and wine. attentive service made this a night to remember. The...

Delicious food, really friendly staff. We both really enjoyed our meal and our dining experience. We shared bruschetta and calamari. For mains, I had the Cotoletta alla Milanese whilst my dining partner had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and finally we shared a tiramisu for dessert and...

Amazing food, great service ! Spaghetti bolognese was gorgeous and pizza was lovely thin base and loads of topping and the tiramisu was to die for !!

We were staying in a hotel in Bloomsbury . Looking for a nearby restaurant for dinner we decided to try Amarcord again. This restaurant also came highly recommended by our Hotel concierge. The concierge helped us with reservations. We were welcomed warmly. The calamari we...

I had the Penne Alla Norma and it was really delicious, the mozzarella pieces were melted with the aubergine and pasta which was perfectly al dente. The waiter was very attentive and kind, he gave me as much parmesan cheese as I wanted. I was...

This is a typical, which is good, Italian restaurant. There were a group of 10 of us having done a guided walk of the British Museum and this was nearby. Being 10 of us we had booked and our table was waiting for us when...

The waiter was great and the interior is simple and cosy. But the food is somewhere between mediocre and bad - oversalted, not fresh and oily. Prices are average to high. It's one of those places that could only survive in tourist-heavy parts of the...

Looking for a not too touristy restaurant in a convenient location next to British Museum, happened upon Amarcord Museum Italian Restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient without being intrusive. They use fresh ingredients and have a nice varied menu. The pasta with eggplant and...

Extremely good food. Pastas are mouthwatering and perfectly cooked. Served olives make us want to go again. Amazing host. A slice of Italy in London.

Des pizzas comme les faisait ma grand mère italienne... Un régal incontestable ! Mais peut être un peu cher pour...

I chose Amarcord for its proximity to the British Museum and Atlantis Bookshop where I was due to attend an early evening event. Their opening hours meant that I didn't have to hang around in the cold and wet between the Museum closing and the bookshop re-opening. I was glad to be able to select a light meal (calamari fritti, with excellent garlic mayonnaise, insalata mista and patate fritte, with a glass of good house white). The food was very good.My only regret was the size of the portions. These days I so often share a main course with a friend as I simply find restaurant portions too big. On this occasion, I would have appreciated being able to have half the amount of everything, all on one plate, at half the cost!The Albanian waiter was very helpful and, as it was early, we were able to have a short conversation about the Albanian language!I recommend this unpretentious restaurant.

Traditional family run Italian restaurant run with pride. Excellent , tasty home made food, friendly service, great value, extensive menu choice. The pasta and risotto had been made with love and was thoroughly enjoyed. Well worth a visit.

Estábamos hambrientos, era más tarde de lo normal para la cena y estábamos en el área del Museo Británico. La puerta de Amacord se abrió y parecía bastante acogedora. Nos recibió calurosamente el caballero y nos sorprendió ver otras 6 mesas de una amplia gama de invitados. A medida que avanzaba la tarde, algunos se fueron y otros llegaron y los asientos de la mesa seguían creciendo, una gran señal de un buen lugar para comer. Pedimos la casa roja, muy bien balanceada con tonos de fruta seca, la ensalada de la casa con vinagre y aceite, una sopa minestrone y nuestra pizza Daviola. Muy bien. Muy sabroso. Mi esposa y yo comentamos que la pizza, con su salsa ligera de tomate y pepperoni picante con chile rojo, no causó acidez ni reflujo ácido durante la noche. ¡Fue una posdata tan maravillosa para una cena muy agradable por la noche! Volveremos

Very good food and really nice people with the customers. Very approachable and friendly environment to spend the evening.

Ristorante con piatti della cucina italiana. Si mangia bene ed il proprietario (cipriota) è molto gentile e presente. Per cambiare abitudini e non essendo in Italia, abbiamo preso un buon fish and chips, dolce, caffè e limoncello a £30, tutto buono. Vicinissimo al British Museum, prima della visita l’Amarcord è ottimo

¿Creerías que han pasado siete meses desde que estuve aquí la última vez, pero aún así se acordó de mí! De hecho, me invitó a un vaso de prosecco complementario, sin siquiera saber que es mi cumpleaños. ¡Ahora hay servicio!

Mi esposa y yo encontramos este restaurante por casualidad. La comida fue excelente igual que el servicio. Alberto nuestro camarero era de primera clase, incluso se tomó la molestia de detenerse y hablar con nosotros en su camino a casa más tarde esa noche y preguntar si habíamos disfrutado de nuestra noche.

Très convenable ainsi que le vin mais pour quatre plats, deux desserts, deux cafés et une demie bouteille de vin, nous avons payé 95 £. Revoir les prix svp.

Vinimos aquí para merendar después de una recomendación de un amigo. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestro tiempo en el Museo Amarcord y le recomendamos que se detenga para disfrutar de una comida o un aperitivo con vista a la calle peatonal Museum Street.

Dopo la visita al British Museum ci siamo fermati in questo ristorante di ispirazione italiana. Il cameriere è stato gentile e ci ha permesso di mettere in un angolo i nostri bagagli (nel pomeriggio avevamo il volo di rientro per l'Italia).

Kind and nice service, but the pizza they serve is the worst thing ever. Too thin and pretty dry pizza dough missing a bit of salt and very poor topings. We ate margareta with basil, bit of cheese and 4 leaves of basil. It is eatable only if you are big time hungry, but on a scale for 1 to 10 it is a poor 2.

We went there as a really big group - 23 people. The service was amazing, and everybody was super helpful. Alberto is extremely friendly and professional, which made the whole experience of organising such a large dinner party super easy. We will definitely visit again: the food and the wine were very good and the prices more than reasonable for Central London!

Très proche du british muséum, on craignait un restaurant attrape touriste mais pas du tout.

Enjoyed a very relaxing two course meal. The homemade tomato soup with Italian bread was really tasty and whetted the taste buds. The mussels that followed came in an interesting sauce, the only negative being that so many failed to open. I am afraid I turned down the offer of a sharp knife!

Ce restaurant est situé dans la rue perpendiculaire à l'entrée du muséum. Vous avez le choix de la carte ou de deux menus (environ 21 euros) pour entrée plat déssert. Nous avons fait le choix des menus. agréablement surpris par la qualité et la quantité des plats. Bon service, un des serveurs parle français, nous avons passé un moment agréable.

There’s much to be said about Italian food because the right dish prepared the way it was meant to be will stay in your memory forever. It will set the standard for all others however now it seems as though you can’t turn down a street without there being an Italian restaurant will most claiming to be the best in town. This is where Amarcord stands out, because they aren’t purporting to be the best of the best but they are definitely the best at what they do and that says a lot. The food was well crafted with a balance of flavours (no overpowering garlic or grease etc) the service was above standard and the price was what was expected however we would have happily paid more not because we are made of money but because it was worth it. If you’re looking for an Italian meal that stands out from the rest in quality then Amarcord is your place. I’m sorry I didn’t say more but sometimes it’s best to give a little and let other Male their own mind up and that’s what I invite you to do. As always this is just my opinion and I hope it helps.

Sitio ideal para comer antes o después de visitar el British Museum. La pasta y pizzas están bastante buenas. Tienen tres platos de pasta sin gluten. El que probamos estaba muy aceptable. Comimos cuatro adultos y dos niños por 98 libras, lo cual para ser Londres está bastante bien. Repetiríamos

Great food and service,. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Would recommend after a day at the museum . Vicki Sydney

Escribo esta opinión a petición de mi hijo, porque le encanto la pizza amarcord. En general, todo muy rico, pizzas y pastas. Un poco caro pero en Londres y al lado del Museo Británico, nada fuera de lo común. El servicio un poco lento, pero aceptable.

Absolutely charming and attentive service, gorgeous chicken in a rich sauce, with crispy, tasty sauté potatoes, and very moreish profiteroles to follow. Decent prices, too. Yes, I plan to be back!

Good food but the worst is what the door is broke and don't close.then you have to get up to close it.

Stopped in here for a late lunch on a cold, wet day. Excellent service, very good meal, reasonable price. Not amazing food, but very good. Made a great place to go after a visit to the British Museum.

Jättemysigt ställe där man känner sig välkommen från första ögonblicket. En enkel bruschetta följd av en pizza och pasta vongole gör kvällen perfekt. Avslutas med en tiramisu, dubbelespresso och en sambuca. Mums

We had excellent garlic bread for starters and had a plate of pasta each. Both very very good for only £11. We then finished off with a creme brûlée, coffee and digestive. The waiter was also very nice and friendly.

Always a wonderful friendly place to dine and the food is great and full of flavour.

Good quality - Bad Quantity - Expensive. The staff was a bit annoying. (i.e. watching and staring) Good quality - Bad Quantity - Expensive. The staff was a bit annoying. (i.e. watching and staring)
