Amarcord Restaurant in Camden

Desde el exterior, y el interior, parece una pizzería local barata. Lo elegimos solo porque era conveniente y nos quedaba poco tiempo. El Risotto Alla Marinara y Spaghetti Marinara fueron increíblemente buenos. Las bebidas mixtas eran generosas y buenas.

Ce n'est jamais très agréable ni bon signe d'être seuls dans un restaurant. Ce fut notre cas. La pizza était très ordinaire. Quant au steak, il a été meilleur après être retourné sur le grill durant quelques minutes. Il m'avait été servi à peine chaud, alors que j'avais commandé medium-saignant. Le service a été correct, sans plus.

According to trip advisor it was supposed to be good food but when we got there it wasn’t that busy and we thought hmmmm should we go in or not? Glad we did because both the main course and desert were absolutely fab!

Heerlijke pasta en pizza. Redelijk geprijsd met een uitstekende kwaliteit. Nette bediening, vlotte service. Geen super gezellige inrichting maar dat mag de pret niet drukken.

Dando un paseo buscando un sitio donde cenar y que no te sableen (En Londres es todo carísimo) encontramos este lugar, donde hablan español e italiano y nos sentamos. Pedimos un plato cada uno, pasta, ensalada, lasaña, todo muy bueno y bastante casero. El agua es gratis "Tap water" ya que la bebida es carísima, cerveza 4,50, vino 6 libras una copa...Te añaden el 12 por ciento de propina obligatoria al precio de la cuenta con lo cual se te sube mucho, aún así no es caro, es un sitio bastante asequible y se come bien, y cantidad más que aceptable. No es un engaña turistas. Lo recomiendo

A la salida del maravilloso Museo Britanico, mi novia queria comer pastas (su debilidad) por lo que ante su insistencia nos metimos al primer restaurant "italiano" que encontramos. Frente a la salida del Museo, sale una calle repleta de Bares, Restaurantes y recuerdos,muy turistica, alli esta este lugar donde tuvimos una mala experiencia culinaria. Mi novia pidio Spaghetti a la Bolognesa y yo pedi Risotto de hongos y verduras. DESASTRE! Ademas de lo escaso de la comida ( casi una regla en algunos restaurantes para turistas de Reino Unido), el Risotto estaba mal preparado: en Argentina solemos comer comida italiana gracias a la gran inmigracion que enriquecio nuestro paladar, por esto me sorprendio el plato de este restaurante de "categoria" pues se trataba de arroz hervido en su punto con verduras , solo eso, cuando el buen Risotto tien que ser casi cremoso, ligado por el almidon del arroz Carnaroli, ademas tanto el Spaghetti (nada fuera de lo comun) como mi Risotto, no tenian queso rallado encima, tampoco nos dieron pan o queso para agregar. Lo mas indignante fue el precio: spaghetti 10,95 libras, risotto 11,45 libras, una copa de vino 5,95 libras y una cerveza pequeña 3,95 libras, TOTAL 35,55 Libras!!! ( con servicio del 10% incluido: 3,23 libras ! )Un robo!!! Si la calidad o cantidad hubiera sido suficiente , no me hubiera importado pagar tal cantidad, pero esta vez fue todo lo contrario. Consejo: No malgasten su dinero en este lugar, van a comer mas, mejor con la comida del supermercado y mas barato.

À quoi bon courir tout Londres pour se faire un bon petit repas italien.Ce petit restaurant remplit les conditions pour passer une très belle soirée.L'accueil est chaleureux,le service attentionné et la nourriture transalpine qui y est servie est goûteuse et généreuse.Pour le calme du lieu et la qualité servie dans nos assiettes,arretez vous!Vous en repartirez parfaitement contentés.

Au début de soirée, une bonne pizza, une bonne salade et gentille serveurs...avec nappe, serviettes en tissu et une grande salle airée.

Rien de bien folichon, la pizza est bonne, mais sans plus, le service perdu en fin de soirée, l’addition est un peu chère pour la qualité des produits.

El personal era muy amable y el chef también. El primer plato que nos dieron (algunas setas) tema no era genial, pero la red sin duda compensa. Todos disfrutamos de sus principales teníamos una mezcla de pizzas, pastas y risotto de todo bien. Las raciones eran lo suficientemente grandes.

Nos pedimos el menú, bien de precio para lo que se estila en Londres, y más en esa zona tan turística. Las ensaladas simples pero ricas, la pizza muy buena y la pasta también. El servicio fue excelente, el camarero muy agradable. Lo único regulero era el vino, que era un vino de mesa sin más.

The Amarcord was perfect to combat jet lag on our first night in London! The waitress was very Italian and as a result we had some communication issues, but nothing that could not be managed. The food (salad, pizza, seafood) was fresh and of excellent quality. The prices were very reasonable and there was an offering for a salad, main and glass of wine that was 10 or 11 GBP. Very enjoyable!

I've stayed in the Bloomsbury area a few times in London and have been to this restaurant a few times over the years, most recently this past November. The food is pretty filling and I never seem to be able to finish! The staff are friendly and welcoming. There are other Italian places in the area but I would recommend this one over the others!

Came here after work with a group of four and got a table outside. We had the offer of a start/main and a glass of wine for about £13 (I think) which was excellent value. Food was tasty and the wine was good. My only...

3 of us ate here on a Saturday night recently. We hadn't booked but got a table OK. The food was really good. Lovely pasta and reasonable prices for the centre of London. The service was a bit slap dash though. The 2 girls were...

Muy buena comida. Tomé el menú que consistía en ensalada, pasta o pizza de la carta y copa de vino....

I ate here this week, and was welcomed like an old friend, even though it's a few months since I was last there. Great value 'menu'...salad, any pasta or pizza plus a glass of wine for £11.95...what a bargain. Superb pizza fiorentino, and delicious tiramisu...

Been here for 3 times this month. And every time I feel like eating in an Italian family's home. You will find some old people just come here alone to enjoy their food. Obviously this is not running by an Italian family, but you feel...

Went there early on Saturday evening, 14th of October with my wife.

I was unaware that there were two Amarcord restaurants within a minute of each other so once I saw the identical design I entered to eat with my tastecard. I had entered the Amarcord Museum rather than the restaurant I had booked. The waiter could not speak English and didn’t acknowledge the fact that I was confirming my reservation. He later brought me toothpicks when I asked for a straw. During the meal, the waiters switched and when I passed him my tastecard I was informed of the identical restaurant around the corner. I could not use the discount and I paid more than I initially planned. I don’t appreciate being told I should’ve shown my tastecard/asked when the waiter didn’t even understand me throughout the meal. I wouldn’t go back as this cannot be the first time this has happened.

We were surprised to find that the restaurant was virtually empty on a Saturday evening, but we need not have worried as the food was very tasty. There were 7 of us and most went for a pasta dish as a main, which were all good. There were one or two things that we could nit-pick about, but the overall experience was very good.

A very quick lunch for two. A simple pair of salads, a 'Ceasre' and a 'Capresse' and a beer. Shame the beer was 'Stella' not that I've got anything against it per se but it is an Italian restaurant. There seemed to be some sort of mistake in the kitchen and we were brought food that should have gone elsewhere. The one meal was promptly removed, the other left for me to look at and wonder if or when its compatriot would appear. In the event it was removed and the correct meals delivered. They were very competent salads. The bill paid we went on our way feeling fuller - would I go again - yes.

Trato al cliente muy bueno Rápidos y de muy buena cocina.Lugar tranquilo para estar en pareja y cenar o comer.Pedimos pizza y ensalada César de postre coulantValorable y recomendable.

I have visited this restaurant countless times! Totally love it and whenever I want to get Italian food this is always my number 1 choice. Decor and presentation very nice, location is super central and close to a tube station, staff are very polite, fun and friendly, and finally the food is absolutely delicious! I love ordering a couple of dishes including tricolore salad, sea food pasta and any of their authentically made Italian pizzas. The manager Tony is an fantastic and treats his customers with respect, kindness and like they are family. He is always happy, friendly and makes an effort to know his customers. Super close to the tube station Russell Square and lots to do in this nice area that is Bloomsbury so after visiting this amazing restaurant there is the nice shopping area Bloomsbury you can visit, a few local, top universities to explore or the beautiful Russell Square Park. So this restaurant not only has the best staff and food but the location is also very good. Highly recommended!

This is a review of the amazing £10.95 meal deal !Very basic salad , lovely pizza and a glass of vino - nothing to complain about here !

We stopped here for a late lunch. The waiter was efficient but brusque. There was no-one else in the restaurant, which I generally view as an indication of poor food/service. My meat was overlooked, with frozen roast potatoes. At least the broccoli and carrots were freshly cooked. My friends all ordered pasta and pizza. They all found their food to be edible but not worth the money charged. After we had paid, I noticed a sign stating that all pizza or pasta meals were on offer with a salad and drink for £10.95. Not once was this offer mentioned to us at the table, and my friends all had to pay the full price, which I view as deceitful on the restaurant's behalf. And automatically adding a service charge to a bill is just infuriating!

Ero appena uscito dal British Museum e cercavo un posto dove mangiare. Dopo un giorno di panini e fast food, da buon italiano sentivo la mancanza della pasta. Al chè appena ho visto questo ristorante sono entrato. Un cameriere parlava inglese, ma ci stava anche una ragazza Italiana. Ho preso spaghetti alla bolognese. Ottimi. I rapporti Qualità-Prezzo-Posizione sono ottimali. Il giusto per un pranzo a Londra sommato alla buona cucina italiana!

We are quite particular about Italian food and would definitely recommend this restaurant.We both had the evening special which includes salad, any pasta (or pizza) and a glass of wine. The food was well prepared and good. Very nice atmosphere inside and the service excellent.

Restaurante pequeno mas bem distribuido. A comida e muito bem feita e bem servida. Bem localizado ao lado do Museu Britânico. O serviço e bom e atencioso. Uma otima pedida para comer em Londres

I decided to try this restaurant. It was right across the street from our hotel. I was very pleased with the food. It was a little bit of Italy in London. I would without question suggest this restaurant. It was so good we actually went the second night. Give it a try.

Plenty of seats on a summer Monday evening. Pleasant cheerful service. Nice to see the careful way the cooks prepared the meal, in particular the pasta. Thoroughly recommended for a nice Italian meal

Very pleasant Italian restaurant. Straightforward and pleasantly unpretentious - decor neutral. Everything was undramatically enjoyable. Wine started just under 20 pounds and very drinkable. Mains mainly around 15 pounds. A good evening. Would recommend and go again (actually this is our third visit over the last few years and we can add the word "consistent" and "reliable".)

Comida perfeita, quantidade adequada. Muito saborosa. Vale a visita .Casais ou família. Comam o sorvete de banana

One evening during our recent trip to London, my wife and I wanted a simple dinner, not far from our hotel, so we went to Amarcord, just down the street. We had no trouble getting a table, as I remember, without a reservation. We were looking for vegetarian options, and those were available. The food was delicious. The service, especially when it came to getting the check, was a little bit slow. I think that the restaurant might have been understaffed, because we saw the wait staff running around constantly. Our daughter, who lives in London, said that Americans and Brits have different expectations when it comes to the pace of service.

Amarcord Restaurant is ideally situated near to Russell Square and within walking distance to the British Museum, Holborn, Drury Lane etc. We were a party of 5 and called in to reserve a table for Dinner. The Staff were very welcoming and reserved us a splendid position for us to dine later in the day. After arriving and having pre dinner drinks we started with a large garlic and tomato pizza to share, excellent. Great pasta dishes followed, all hot and top quality, finally Tiramisu and piping hot coffee all served by happy Staff who made us feel so welcome. We all agreed , and would definitely return on our next visit to the Capital.Thanks for a great evening dinner.

I walked in with some doubt given the reviews, but we had a great experience at Amarcord. The staff were attentive and friendly, and our selections were outstanding. Started off with a beautifully presented and tasty insalata mista with focaccia. Then had penne alla boscaiola and spaghetti al pomodoro, and both were very good. Finished up with the banana and toffee ice cream, which was an unusual and tasty dessert. I'd highly recommend, and will make a return visit.

Gesitueerd in het nabij gelegen hotel willen we na een dagje slenteren door Londen nog wat eten. Deze Italiaan voldoet daarbij prima. Lekkere Pizza rond £10. Wat ik alleen niet snap is dat de drankjes hier in Londen zo duur zijn. £7 voor een glas wijn waarvan je weet dat de hele fles al minder kost. Verder een vriendelijke bediening en een eigenaresse die alleen Italiaans lijkt te spreken.

The portion sizes are very good, the staff are very nice and helpful, and allow you to take time between meals.

Poor selection on menu. Very limited, grossly expensive and second rate wines.Food was 'ok'. Be very aware of the patronising misleading (about what wines we were to receive) owner! Also be aware of the 15% covert 'SERVICE CHARGE'!! Never ever again!!!

I visited here with family on the 30th April. I was extremely disappointed. The garlic bread wasn't freshly made. The calamari looked like onion rings and tasted like it had come straight from a freezer. My boyfriend's dad had a lasange which was burnt at the bottom. Waitress did nothing she just said you should have said sooner. However, he only noticed when he got to the bottom!

Groupon offer, £30 for 3 course with prosecco, whats not to like!Nice bruschetta starter, good mains of salmon and chicken rounded off with tiramisu and ice-cream.Great service and a free coffee, brilliant!

Il ristorante si trova a due passi dal British Museum. È anche una pizzeria. Se si vuole mangiare cucina italiana siete nel posto giusto. Locale carino e accogliente. Il personale parla italiano. Prezzi nella media di Londra. I piatti sono abbastanza buoni. Se siete stufi dei soliti cibi da pub e siete nei paraggi fateci un salto.

Booked via Groupon and got a good 3 course deal. Really good restaurant, just a shame it wasn't busier. Deserves to be.

Tanto por los precios, horarios y atención en pulido español. La pasta buena, pero las pizzas mejor. Tienen un menú comida-cena que está muy bien, hay que acordarse de sumar el 12% a las casi 10 libras, si te tomas un vinito o una birra sube cada uno 5 a 6 libras más.

Visited Amarcord with family in March 2017. Some vegetarian members, and some not. There was something on the menu for everyone, and we were all happy with our choices. Excellent service and good food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

When we first arrived, one very harried young woman was trying to look after the whole restaurant, and it wasn't working. We waited ages for her to take our order. Ten minutes later she returned wanting to take our order, having somehow lost it. I was doing a fair amount of teeth-gnashing. But then our starters arrived, and my fried calamari was nice and crisp, and came with a delicious sauce and a small salad. The young woman was joined by a very attentive and charming male colleague, and my main, tagliatelle al salmone, was somewhere between a B and a B-plus. ('er Indoors' pasta arrabiata was too spicy for her to eat, but Charming Male Colleague offered to have it recooked for her!) Both the creme brulee and tiramisu were delicious. The best part of the meal, for which we paid with a Wowcher, was that the restaurant didn't present us with a 12.5 percent service charge on the full retail price of our meal, as, for instance, Life Goddess in Carnaby Street, does, so we left feeling un-ripped off, which was of course very pleasant.

Gracias por la fantástica atención, Cristina y compañeros. Excelente pasta a muy buen precio. Recomendado 100%

We went on a "wowcher" deal and were pleasantly surprised by the number of dishes offered as part of the deal. The stuffed mushroom starter was different as it had chopped carrots and beans in it as well as the usual sauce. I much preferred this though my husband wasn't so keen. The calamari looked quite chunky but was succulent when tasted. Sea bass mains were a nice size portion (neither of us like plates piled high with food) and the tagliatelle with smoked salmon was delicious. The desserts were disappointing after the previous courses, and the service was rather slow considering there were only 3 couples eating! The outside does look more like a cafe than a restaurant which is a shame as the food is more restaurant quality. Probably will go back, but not bother with dessert next time.

Southampton Row has many restaurants of different cuisines.This family run Italian restaurant is on the western side near the Bedford Hotel and 100 metres south of Russell Square Tube Station. It is basically a large room with a contemporary , simple decor and the kitchen area at the rear divided by a glass screen.The menu is unashamedly traditional . We both chose the bruschetta pomodoro and the scallopine alla valdosta. Both were excellent. Deserts to follow were chocolate ice cream and tiramisu. The latter was perfect. The house red wine Della Casa Rossoa proved a good choice. Including 12% service the bill for two was just short of £89 and this included coffees. Excellent value. The restaurant is named after the film Amarcord directed by Federico Fellini.

Una comida excelente y excelente atención de las camareras Elisa y Cristina recomiendo para todo el mundo que venga a Londres

Welcomed into the restaurant by a very friendly lady who was both polite and courteous.Food was delivered quickly and tasted fantastic. All home cooked traditional Italian meals. Highly recommend!

The food was good......but the service, poor. We entered the Restaurant at about 5 pm,there were only a few people in there, 2 or 3 waitresses milling around, but we were notgreeted by any of them.....we sat down at a table, but it was a while before a waitress approached us. A pity, because , as I already said, the food was good.. but we won't be returning.

這家店位於大英博物館正對面巷子，位置便利，價格實惠。我這次點了燉飯與披薩，兩者的味道都非常好吃；尤其是燉飯，米煮的恰好，既入味而米心也透。上桌時後服務生還會問是否要加起士與胡椒，現磨的味道更是撲鼻，更添食慾~

With young kids, an early evening bite is perfect before getting the train home. Better than a cafe, but typical family-run Italian eatery. Informal setting. Nice chat with the bosses mother (in-law?). Attentive but not fussy service, no unnecessary waiting time. Great for kids. Children's menu was anything on the menu children's size. This was still a fair feed, perfectly adequate for my 11-y-o boy. And beautifully cooked. Reasonably priced for this part of London.

We found it to be very convenient since our hotel was just across the road. it is good value for money and although it does not have a huge menu it still offers some good Italian food. The pasta was as it should be, al dente. Service is also very good

Despite staying in the area a great deal over the past 20 years, we had never eaten here - perhaps because it looks more like a 'caff' than a restaurant it had never appealed for dinner. However, despite the inside looking quite like the aforementioned 'caff', we had a really delicious meal & the staff were spot on. It's now definitely on the list when we next stay in Bloomsbury.

Everything so tasty and typical Italian. Prices are great. So, the best Italian restaurant in this area in terms of both quality and price.

Comimos un día al salir del British Museum y quedamos sorprendidos para bien. Nos tocó esperar un poco a que sirvieran la comida, pero estaba excelente y de precio era muy adecuado para la zona en la que está situado y comparandolo con los restaurantes de alrededor.Una buena elección.

I researched the area for restaurants before a visit and stop over and went here with a colleague,mid week without booking.The service was welcoming and efficient and the three course meal that we worked our way through (the menu tempted us further than the single course we intended!) met all expectations.The cost was reasonable and the Manager/owner took the time to engage with us and even offered the nice gesture of a liquor on the house before leaving, a nice touch that sealed an already pleasant experience.

Restaurante situado muy cerca del Museo británico por lo que es idóneo para escaparse a comer, una vez allí te puedes decidir por comer de menú, lo cual no es caro y está bien de cantidad, o platos a la carta. El sitio está limpio aunque no es muy grande, comer fuera en la terraza es una opción, pero ya se sabe como es el tiempo en la ciudad.

We decided to eat here as we liked the choice of food available and the prices were reasonable.The restaurant was quiet when we arrived and we were welcomed and seated promptly. We were also given sufficient time to consider the menu before being asked for our choices.We opted for main courses only (having eaten a large breakfast); these included spaghetti alla marinara, lasagna al forno, risotto paesana and pollo alla cacciatora. I also chose a side of fried zucchini which was a decent size, something that can't always be said of side orders in other restaurants.All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which were freshly prepared and perfectly cooked. The meals were a reasonable size, without being overly filling.Throughout our visit the service was attentive and prompt.We would certainly recommend this restaurant to others visiting/living in the area.

Avevamo voglia di pizza e ci siamo fermati li. Locale molto poco accogliente, forse un tocco di colore alle pareti lo potrebbe rendere più carino. La musica mi ha messo molto tristezza. La pizza non male. La birra servita era quasi a temperatura ambiente. Prezzi nella media.

We have visited this place because it was the closest restaurant to hotel. Food was excellent and service was perfect.

Uma cantina italiana com boas opções de massas. Cardápio com boas opções de vinho e cervejas. Servem uma entrada de brusquetas sensacional. A massa carbonara bem gostosa. Custo benefício razoável.

Sono stata qui con i miei amici. Ristorante a due passi dal British museum. Cibo nella media e personale simpatico. L'unica pecca erano i piatti leggermente sporchi sul tavolo.

We were staying opposite Russel Square and came across this small restaurant whilst walking down Southampton Row. Very tasty meals at a reasonable price. The tiramisu was excellent!

Having tried almost every single Italian restaurant on Southampton row i think Amarcord was the best Italian we have been to. Home made pizzas were really delicious.

Having travelled to London for my daughters investiture in the Law Society and having just got of the train .We were looking for somewhere good to eat and came across this eatery and what a delight.Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.Although we only had pizza they were some of the best we have ever had .

Italian restaurant near our hotel was one of the best find in London for us. I had cannelloni and my wife had a spaghetti marinara.both dishes were perfect.

Excellent meal with the family tonight. We are staying at the Holiday Inn, Bloomsbury and this is a 5 min walk away from Russell Sq tube station. Food and service excellent! Give it a go!

We had a nice meal here, but having spent rather a lot of money and left a tip on the table we were very shocked when examining the bill to discover a service charge had been added and this was not mentioned by the staff to us at any point. As we are often in the area, we now use an Italian restaurant across the road, which does not apply any hidden charges - disapointing

The menu was pretty standard with the usual mix of pasta and pizza dishes. We were surprised at how reasonable the prices were considering it is a stone's throw from the British Museum. My only gripe was the 10% service charge which I did not notice until I had already paid the bill.

Visited the Amarcord Holborn last Saturday with my wife, prior to going to a show.The food was very good and value for money.It is not a large restaurant but could accommodate approx 20 inside and 6/8 outside.Friendly helpful staff enjoyable

We were due an early evening train home so visited at 4.30 as I wanted to try the veal special, and quite frankly I was disappointed. My wife's prawn starter and sea bass main were both as good as last time, but the veal was over cooked and the veg seemed to be lunch time left overs. Still good value with the taste card discounts.

Booked an Italian restaurant near our hotel based on the 4/5 on Trip Advisor. Waitress didn't understand English very well but all seemed ok when we ordered after some careful explanations. Starters and mains arrived together (as expected) but only for 3 of 4 of us. My pizza didn't arrive but I waited 10 minutes, thinking it was surely coming. Eventually we asked where it was and they realised they hadn't ordered it for me - presume the waitress thought only 3 of the 4 of us wanted a meal!! So 10 minutes later my pizza came out burnt and unimpressive, with a quick "oh sorry" but no real interest.... My brother couldn't eat his meal - I tried it but it wasn't great, pasta with processed chicken chopped up into small cubes. Service was very slow and sloppy. Good news was they kept the tables around us clean, spraying the disinfectant everywhere - which was not a nice smell/taste in the air when eating. Bill came with 10% added already. I asked waitress to take that off (explaining the service wasn't great) and so she and 2 other waitresses came and stood by our table making it awkward - no sorries, just annoyance they were losing their tip it seemed!

Authentic, well prepared Italian food in a modest but pleasant restaurant. Great location and very good value. My only criticism would be that the servers looked very bored and that doesn't give the place a good vibe.

Il Ristorante Amarcord si trova nel cuore di Londra, a due passi dal British Museum.L'impostazione è italiana, e anche i piatti seguono la tradizione.Il locale è piccolo e accogliente.Il personale è cortese e veloce.Rappresenta un buona sosta tra una visita e l'altra nel cuore della città.Rapporto qualità/prezzo: discreto se si tien conto che Londra è una città "carissima".

We ate lunch at this restaurant after a visit to the British Museum. We did not have reservations but were able to find an open table. They have outdoor and indoor seating. We had the Risotto alla Marinara, Spaghetti alla Carbonara, and Pizza Margherita. The service was good. The flavor was authentic Italian. The wine list is short but good and includes Italian wines. Good value! Highly recommended!

We had a tremendous night at this Italian restaurant. All the staff were extremely friendly. We started off with 2 bottles of prosecco and cheesy garlic bread. For starters we had the tuna and the pate, beautifully presented and tasted great. The main courses were chicken alfredo, and spaghetti marinara, these were two of the best dishes we had ever tasted. This is a great restaurant with great staff that really care what they put in front of you. Highly recommend if your in the area. We will be back.

Tony the manager is a friendly chap and the food here is reliable and consistent with special offers including 50 percent off on the taste card and other offers even if you don't have a taste card. It is a good place to know in Bloomsbury and fairly small and cosy but somewhere you would probably find yourself returning to, as I have done loads of times, particularly if you live in Bloomsbury! So whether you re a tourist or a local, if you are looking for a decent reliable Italian you could do a lot worse than Amarcord. As a cinema buff I quite like the fact that the restaurant is named after Fellini's movie, (not that I have seen it), but it's gives the place a nice touch. The staff always seem nice enough, often from Europe here also to improve their English and I feel like it is time again for me to pay a visit soon.

This is a lovely little place right around Holborn and the British Musem with excellent food. The staff is friendly and very nice but also quiet and laid back. This is not a chain, no street food here, no boring old imitations of Italian fast food. This is classic. It really has that perfect casual but refined and traditional feel to it. THE FOOD IS WONDERFUL. Go for the specials, definitely try the soups, and you cannot go wrong with seafood, they make it like it should be. Budget-friendly prices and a location close enough to almost anything in the city. Family friendly but not overly. Perfect for a quick lunch before an afternoon of leisure or work. Or a casual date even.

Petit restaurant sans prétention et plutôt agréable. Pour 10 pounds salade fraîche bonnes pâtes et un verre de vin.

We had the lunch special at £10.95 each. It included a fresh mixed salad, good pizza and a welcome glass of wine. Good food and good value.

逛好大英博物馆出来，找了这家店想喝点东西。结果点了份ice tea，看着服务员只倒了半杯就不给了，敢不敢再小气点，留半瓶立顿再卖给别人？？！？第一次碰到这种店！

Had the Halibut which was excellent and my wife's prawn and avocado starter looked really good. We will be in London again in September, and as it is handy for our hotel, I will be going back as I fancy one of the veal dishes.

Lindo lugar con precios moderados para la zona, comida buena con relación al precio.Comida internacional de nivel bueno

Three nights in london.this restaurant next door to our hotel.ate in hotel first night.second night ate at this restaurant.salad starter then main course pizza or pasta dishes +glass of very pleasant wine?all for 10.95 inc vat and service charge.any one who loves Italian.wont be let down.for london price fantastic. Food worth far more than we payed.dont walk by walk in.you won't be disappointed.THAT GOOD ATE HEAR ON OUR LAST NIGHT.again food just great faultles highly reccomend.

I have read some of the negative reviews and can't believe we went to the same restaurant. We popped in here as it was doors away from our hotel. Mixed salad, Pizza or Pasta of your choice and a glass of wine £10.95 !!!!!! We both had Pizza and enjoyed it all so much we returned the following night. My husband had a different Pizza and I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, all food was piping hot and delish. Service attentive and not in your face. We enjoyed the glass of house wine so much we decided to buy a bottle, that doesn't happen often with house wines. Although some seating can be found outside we preferred to sit inside as its a very busy road. Should we return to London without a doubt we will be returning here.

£10.95 for a salad, pasta and a glass of wine, I didn't like it that the 10% service charge was added, ironic though, I would have left more if it wasn't!

Gradevolissimo ristorante italiano nei pressi di Russell Square: buona cucina e personale (in particolare Elisa) disponibile, simpatico ed efficiente!! Da provare

Amazing, homely, good sized place. Fresh, tasty food. Good sized portions.Lovely friendly and accommodating staff and manager/owner, not sure.Accepted taste card so really good deal.As I work nearby, I pop in often and always love it!

This was a great restaurant across from our Thistle Bloomsbury Hotel in London. We ate here 3 out of 4 nights we were in town...friendly management & staff, good food, really convenient! There are several pizza places nearby but we really liked the ambiance here at Amarcord.

Found this restaurant after seeing a show in London,quite by accident.The restaurant isn't large but cosy.Greeted by a friendly young lady who showed us to a table for 2.Menu's were delivered and drinks ordered.After browsing the menu my wife had Bruschetta Pomodoro(3 pieces of garlis bread with tomatoes,onions and basil),which she said was tasty,myself i ordered Insalata Caprese(Mozarella,tomato,and basil) again fresh and tasty.We both ordered Lasagne AL Forno for main course,seemed to be fresh pasta,well presented and tasty.Desert were Profiteroles for my wife and home made Tiramasu for myself.With a beer,a glass of wine and coffee,a reasonable bill of £54:50(service included),not bad for the capital.Overall a nice little restaurant with tasty food and friendly staff.

popped into this restaurant for a quick early dinner and was not disappointed, there was an issue with my Arrabiata pasta being way to spicy but the waitress and manager dealt with it and without hesitation my order was changed for something else, we all know things go wrong but it is the way that it is dealt with that counts and in this case there was no delay in changing my dish which meant that my friend and me could still eat our meal at the sametime, well done to all

We were attracted by a very appealing looking lunchtime special advertised in front of the restaurant. Unpretentious Italian decor, excellent service and a very good meal. Had we had more time We'd have returned for dinner another night to try out some other dishes. Good value. very satisfying.

Wandered in here before theater for their pasta/pizza special. It was value for money- the pizza was huge, fresh, hot and delicious. The salad was acceptable, and the house wine was fine. Service was quick and friendly. There are a few tables outside. This is a grand stop if you are staying in Bloomsbury or visiting the British museum.

Restaurant italien sans prétention qui propose une cuisine classique de bonne qualité pour un bon rapport qualité-prix. Personnellement je recommande: pizzas, pennes, risotto, mais je n'ai pas apprécié les taglatielles.

Hemos cenado dos veces en el restaurante.La primer vez un risoto y un plato de pastas. Buenas porciones y muy sabrosas.La segunda un plato de sopa y un plato de pastas. Nuevamente muy sabrosas ambas cosas.El precio en la segunda fue 18 libras con una botella de agua sin gas.

Poor service and blah food. Was intrigued by the special (pasta or pizza, salad, and a glass of wine for 10.50), outdoor seating and extensive menu. Salad was served with no dressing, which was brought to us after 7 minutes and we had to ask for it. Asked for water and never got it. My husband got lasagna which was really bad. Some sort of spinach noodles with hardly any meat or cheese and no seasonings. The wrong pizza was brought to me, which they corrected, but by then we were over the place. I love supporting small establishments, but this one was not worth the money :( I gave them a second star because the owner was attentive toward the end.

Went with friends, lovely meal. I had prawns with chilli and pesto tagliatelli. Very polite and friendly staff food cooked to perfection. Highly recommended, spent around £30 for two courses plus wine.
