Anacapri in City of London, Westminster

The restaurant cheats guests by increasing the bill total without any explanation. This has happened multiple times with me but didn’t make a scene since I was with guests. Strongly discourage people from eating the average food at this fraudulent joint with rude staff. Instead go to Emilia’s Pasta on Baker Street. Better food, Better Atmosphere, Same Prices, No Server Attitude

Food was ok, desert was super,service and atmosphere super

Amazing food, friendly and kind staff, very quick and responsive service. 10/10

A family atmosphere and honest food! Always a delight!

Friendly service but food quite poor - perhaps better suited for families than those looking to eat authentic Italian food.

How this place has 4 starts is a mystery to me. The food is so terrible I don’t know where to begin. The service is even worse. They made us pay extra when they understood we were unsatisfied with our food.

A pity that 0/5 doesn’t exist. As an Italian, this is ridiculous…the food is probably one of the biggest insults to a whole nation. But even if you are not Italian, you can easily guess that this is a huge scam. I will attach a picture of the carbonara so you might get an idea of what to expect. Ofc I will save you from the rest 🙏🏻

This place was fantastic! Authentic food’ great service and friendly atmosphere. The owner and the staff were very welcoming. I would highly recommend and come again.

Recent observations have highlighted a troubling trend involving counterfeit Evian water, where pristine bottles are surreptitiously refilled with ordinary tap water. In a particularly illustrative case, a waiter confidently assumed that diners would overlook the glaring evidence of a broken seal, thereby accepting a bottle that presented itself as freshly opened. This deceptive tactic undermines the integrity of the dining experience and raises questions about the authenticity of the products served. To safeguard against such misleading practices, it is highly advisable for patrons to explicitly request the opportunity to open the sealed bottle themselves. By taking this precaution, consumers can ensure they are enjoying the genuine, high-quality hydration they expect, resulting in a more satisfying and trustworthy dining experience.

Wanting to counter some of the negative reviews on here! Here for a joint birthday treat with family. It was a welcome surprise. Authentic Italian food, great service and ambience. Good size portions and excellent value compared to some places in London. It was a Tuesday evening and we were not rushed at all. I had vegetarian choices which were well cooked. Our birthdays were acknowledged by a cake and candle, a nice touch. Would recommend if in area again.

Pay no attention to the yank complaining here about his dish after being unable to choose for himself and not liking what he asked to be suggested. The best Ragu. Consistent hot fresh pasta and plenty of bread and Parmesan. Always good! A local gem.

Great prices on the house wine and it was delicious!!

Traditional Italian food, good value and great service for central London!

Found this place by accident and so glad we did! The extensive menu provided many options of gorgeous food, which were served quickly and efficiently by friendly staff. We sat inside (most people were outside) but that didn’t diminish the atmosphere at all - quite the reverse. Highly recommended.

Cor blimey from receiving starter to finishing dessert it took 32 minutes. Lovely food though esoecislly the Garlic Prawns but I'm worn out!

Came across this restaurant by chance while spending day in London. From the start, staff were welcoming and very friendly. Food and service outstanding. After finding out it was my brother's birthday, they presented him with a special dessert with candle and sang happy birthday. This made the occasion very special.

A wonderful Italian restaurant with good food, fast service and a friendly local vibe. We particularly enjoy sitting outside in the summer when it's warm enough. Prices are fair and decent, especially for the area. Emilio is a star.

What a lovely place! Had lunch there today. Lovely outdoor seating, cozy and warm indoor seating, super food and what a host the owner Emilio is! Thoroughly enjoyed my meal! Highly recommended & will def go again and again!

Visited today for lunch and although delicious food, I feel that ive intergestion with the speed of service which was overwhelming in fact uncomfortable. In fact my friend whom was with me, had not even finished his beer and it was whisked away. I appreciate its London, however the dish that I had was delicious, but absurdly expensive for such a small plate. Applicable also for the starter.

Best Italian food in town 👌.The restaurant is very cozy, and the entire staff is friendly.I strongly recommend it!

Relaxed, Italian service, food was excellent

Been here 3 times since moving to the area a couple of months ago. Excellent service, excellent food, very reasonable prices!

Pasta dishes were good, but the Skate was old and the tuna starter was dreadful. Atmosphere was great

Foods are so delicious and amazing but not good service unfortunately

Nice food but not the most authentic

Food was great Service was great everything was great.

Genuine simple Italian restaurant...v nice food

Authentic Italian food and experience. Lovely waiters.

The owner greeted us warmly and offered a seating right away. The food came out in a very timely fashion and was spectacular.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a spot to have dinner in London. All we did was take a peek inside and we were immediately invited in and sat at a table. The staff were so warm and welcoming and we felt like we had just been accepted into their family. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere even more so!! It was such a lovely evening as we noticed everyone in the restaurant smiling, laughing, and cheersing one another with raised wine glasses across the room. One of the best experiences we had while visiting London!

We asked the waiter to choose our orders and he suggested the most expensive type of pasta. We said that's fine, the most important thing is that it's excellent. He described it as having chicken, but what we received was without chicken. The taste was very bad - you could make a better one yourself. Finally, this bill is the total of our orders, which should have been $31.8, but they cheated and added an unnoticeable increase that I only noticed after leaving. Do not try this experience at all.

OMG My Experience at this Restaurant is so good I enjoyed my self in such a way that I have do in other places I Recommend people from all over the world coming to London Uk and wanted to have a good plate of 1Menu pate Del Chef 🧑‍🍳 COPPA Di GAMBERETTI SPAGH ALLA VONGOLE plenty to choose from that is was the lunch I eaten I tell you when you come here to eating you cannot for get this place the food ,is Delicious Food 🍱 cake coffee too much to write about this Restaurant the manager is a star 30 years of haveing this restaurant also he his a fan of Gino Di.

Always good everything one expects from a traditional Italian restaurant. Weather was good so lots of tables outside which brings so much life to the street

Quite possibly the weirdest £75 I’ve ever spent. Some local decided to sing Edleweiss halfway through our meal. The pasta tasted of burnt garlic. The dodgiest wine I’ve drunk and when I asked to taste it the waiter hid the label. The wine was actually called “a nice drop of Pinot noir’ £30 for a bottle of £4 plonk. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone unless you wanna visit 1970’s london then you’re in for a treat.

Nice location, very good food and service

The food was nice, quick to be served and the service was very nice, to finish we had a nice Delta espresso to complete the meal.

A family Italian restaurant. Authentic cuisine, warm service. The sole is recommended.

Lively restaurant, the boss is slightly over-the-top but friendly. Old Neapolitan school. Very well eaten, beef fillet with Gorgonzola, vegetables and potatoes. Prices quite reasonable.

Great family run Italian restaurant. Very friendly and fast service, with lovely home made pasta. Highly recommended. 👌

I don't have high culinary standards and I've never written a review on Google. But after this evening I feel obliged to rate this restaurant. The pasta was more than disappointing, indigestible and frankly bad. The salad, tomatoes, mozzarella straight from Tesco (or similar). Nothing was good, everything was honestly bad. The decor and ambiance seem authentic at first but the quality of the food ruins the whole experience.

Delicious Italian food, large portions of pasta, desserts 🤗

Served extremely quickly, absolutely lovely staff and food was incredible!

Delicious food and really friendly staff.

An outstanding authentic experience! Fantastic meal. Thank you very much!

Would not recommend this place to ANYONE especially girls. Staff was extremely creepy and owner (seems about 80) GRABBED me and tried to KISS me on the way out…Had to push him off and run away Went there for dessert and before we had a chance to breathe, we were given menus and bread. Then we told them that we just want dessert, waiter literally told us off and was very rude. Dessert itself was okay, tasted very homemade and for the price (7 pounds per plate) not worth it at all. And most shocking when I tried to leave, said thank you at the door and the old owner grabbed me and tried to kiss my cheek. I was leaning away with my whole body and barely managed to run out of there. All of the waiters were just watching as well. Extremely horrible experience, would never recommend.

Horribly dingy place with insanely inappropriate and rude staff. Couldn’t even stay 30 mins. VERY OLD OWNER GRABBED MY 18 year old SISTER AS WE WERE LEAVING ABD TRIED TO KISS HER CALLING HER BEAUTIFUL. He was not letting go and nobody did anything to stop him. Had to go back and make him apologise for literal sexual harassment. Didn’t let us split the bill even thought they had a card reader cayse “too many cards.” Frequently laughing at us and joking in Italian. On top of everything, 45 pounds for 5 desserts! Disgusting and appalling service. Hated it. Would never recommend

We had dinner with the children last night. The food is excellent and the treatment we receive exceptional. It was like being with family. Thank you very much

Pasta was basic & bland. The seafood pasta smelt pretty awful & was mostly inedible. The creme caramel was the same. House wine was basic & rough. The place is pretty grotty. The service was attentive if not a bit rushed. Not that we wanted to hang around. And it was expensive. I don't recommend it at all & wished someone had written a more balanced review. I think the service leads people to be unhelpfully polite

The folklore is there, the taste is not.

Bamboozled (positively). Am I back home in Italy with my Nonno? This can't be Marylebone in the heart of metropolitan London. This has to be some Osteria in the Italian No-Where. Authentic, fun, genuine. Don't expect anything fancy. No frills or bows. Simply good food, good staff, and Italy pure.

Sandwiched between increasingly multi-million real estate, little Anacapri is a real original very popular with locals; expect a good range of solid trattoria dishes not high flying cooking and you will be happy, especially with prices well below flashier, younger joints all around. The patron, uttering Spanish, leads his polyglot team allegro, energetically from the front, directing swiftly produced dishes here and there. The pace is fast and furious. A good time is had by all.

The atmosphere and decorations were warm and seemed authentic. Service was great and we didn't wait long for the food. The food was delicious, but it was not the best

La comida no muy buena, el lugar era pequeño, muchas mesas en un lugar pequeño, la atención si era buena, no lo recomiendo mucho

We came here by accident and didnt regret it. Anacapri is a very authentic Italien Restaurant with great service and good food. Before ordering we got some olives, bread and butter as starters including some water. Our pasta (Tagliatelle with spinach and cream) was really good and the Chef also gave us some tips what to see next in the area.

A well established totally charming restaurant. No wonder it is so popular with regulars

Love this place! Always a great atmosphere. Great waiters and experience. Highly recommend.

We’ve eaten here a few times now and really enjoy the homely authentic atmosphere created by the personalities of the staff. Delicious food and great portion sizes. The garlic prawns are a must!

Un italien excellent près de Baker Street . Tenu par des anciens italiens de Capri, tout est bon. Service chaleureux. Salle accueillante. Faites les qq pas qui y mène. Vous ne le regretterez pas.

A very authentic Italian place which you can hardly find anywhere these days. You feel like you're in Italy with very polite waiters dedicated to their jobs. Food is amazing too, very traditional.

What a lovely place 😍 so quaint and staff can't do enough for you. Would highly recommend 👌

A truly authentic Italian restaurant just off Baker Street. No frills, just excellent food, great menu and decent wine.

Super nice, absolutely recommend x

Have been visiting since 2018, will keep going as long as I can. Phenomenal home style Italian food. Cannot fault this place

Excellent food and wine. Pleasant quick service. Busy on a Friday night so best to book.

Restaurante pequeno porém muito aconchegante e a comida é servida rapidamente , vem bem quente e o tempero é na medida! Recomendo!

Outstanding family restaurant, great food, ambience and vibe.

Traditional Italian restaurant with many old favourites on menu. Great staff very attentive and welcoming. Prices reasonable for area it's situated in

Sehr authentisches Italienisches Restaurant. Die Kellner waren sehr nett und aufgeschlossen.

Been going here for years. Proper old style Italian, a dying breed. Excellent, packed and always the odd celebrity...

Simple restaurant and authentic Italian food. The staff are very kind and friendly. The food is amazing.

Love this place to but I can’t fault anything wonderful atmosphere and food

Great food quality, price and service.

I wish this place had been in a Seinfeld episode. Spoiler alert: the staff are Spanish putting Italian accent. If you love a little bit of chaos and bolognese it’s a must.

I went twice it was so pleasant, very homey feeling, and delicious. Emilio treated me like family and I can't wait to bring my friends when they're in town.

If I could give +5 stars I’ll 👌🏼👍🏼

I was tasteless and awful Bad and disornest food Thank you very much. Never again

Super lovely food, was not expecting it to taste as good as it did! Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Very big portion sizes for a very good price 👍

Excellent as always. See you again soon 🙏❤️

Would recommend if you dislike poor quality chains like Prezzo, Pizza Express, Ask, Zizzi’s.. Anacapri looks like a slice of Italy in London. Would be a 5/5 as the food was great, fresh and authentic. Prices were unbelievable! The only downfall was the person waiting on our table - he didn’t smile once and made us feel as though we’d insulted him the moment we took our seats. The rest of the team were really enthusiastic, smiling and chatting with customers. Nonetheless, the overall experience outweighed this negative.

Used to go here all the time but haven't been for some years. Still as fantastic as I remember. Lovely food.

Good place to chat with friends and waiters :-)

A real Italian place. The food is ok. Service is great.

Amazing food. Lots of bread, galric bread, chilli & olives as soon as sat down. We had sea bass & rosemary Lamb, both were cooked perfectly!!! Will definitely come back

The food was terrible. No idea how this has got 4.5 stars. The bread arrived stale with little butter wrapped in foil…could have guessed at that stage the food wasn’t going to be great. Carbonara on the menu mentions the word cream. Strike 2. The rest of the food was fairly terrible and not authentic at all. I would avoid.

مطعم ايطالي يقدم مقبلات واكله رهيب بمنطقه حلوه

In the heart of Baker Street, a restaurant stands, Anacapari, they call it, with Italian demands. But alas, my visit was quite the surprise, A chaotic experience that left me unwise. Like a twisted tale from the famed Faulty Towers, Anacapari embraced disorder with no bounds. A dog roamed freely, unbothered and bold, While patrons disrobed, a sight to behold. The aroma of Italy, so rich and inviting, Was overshadowed by scenes that were quite frightening. The waiter, in disarray, rushed to and fro, Orders misplaced, chaos in tow. The pasta, once al dente, now turned to mush, The sauce, over-seasoned, a flavorless hush. The ambiance lacked grace, with a jumbled décor, A cacophony of voices, laughter, and more. While I appreciate unique experiences anew, Anacapari's charm felt askew. The dog and the disrobing, a baffling affair, A quirky twist, but hardly prepared. So, dear friend, if you seek Italian delight, Anacapari may not be your choice tonight. For the charm of Baker Street, there are other sights, Where Italian cuisine truly takes flight.

Amazing authentic Italian restaurant. We had the Minestrone, Carbonara and Tiramisu. It was perfect !!! Thank you

Casual and tasty, service was efficient. They were happy to have a lone diner on a Saturday evening.

Just by a chance we went to this place ( only as the name reminded us of Capri and wonderful bread in Anacapri) Had a best steak ever! Surrounding can do with updating but if you focus on food and friendly service than 5/5

The best Italian Restaurant in town with the original Tiramisu (since 1989!) My warmest recommandation Simone (Swiss embassy)

Would be nice place if the food were good. The Tagliatelle Alfredo was totally tasteless, my wife remarked that she probably hadn't had more disappointing food at an Italian restaurant ever. Penne Arrabiata was standard. House red wine mediocre (even as house wines go).

Amazing service and The Best Lasagna I have Ever eaten

Did everything to make the experience special , the team is lovely , great atmosphere & food !!!!

Authentic Italian cuisine... What an insult to Italy, yet alone my taste buds. Sure the service was palatable as was the store bought bread. Outside of that the experience was out of the realms of acceptability. The culinary standards of a twelve year old were projected forth from kitchen; I drank a bottle of average wine I had the misfortune to have ordered before seeing the masacre of a whole culture plate by plate before my eyes. If you know food I advise you avoid this place, unless you wish to visit the lavatory, as I did on my way home. The taste of pure culinary failure wouldn't leave my mouth without extreme measures.

Lovely staff and a rather authentic atmosphere. Prices aren’t crazy which in this area is a welcome the surprise. But the carbonara was really, really awful.

Very kind staff, prompt service, and reasonable prices. We only had spaghetti carbonara, but unfortunately it wasn’t very appetising. The pancetta was soft and they used cream instead of egg yolks and cheese to make the sauce and as a result it’s runny and tasteless. It’s hard not to sound pretentious writing this review, but it’s a simple dish to make and we wished it could have tasted like it should.

Excelente restaurante, agradable servicio, muy familiar. Ambiente increible. La pasta exquisita. Todo muy fresco…. El mejor aguacate de Europa ❤️😍🥰.

Delicioso l ambiente, la comida Todo fantástico Cómo la bella Italia

Simply fantastic! Emilio and his wonderful team fed us like family! Excellent vibe, super friendly and great Italian servings. Special mentions- Olives, homemade chili oil, tartare sauce, steak, caprese salad, garlic prawns, steak, carbonara, veggie tomato sauce penne, all desserts!

Maybe the best Italian food that we ate! Amazing trout fish with almond sauce and amazing spinach pasta. The house wine was delicious and the atmosphere and stuff was the best that you could expect for.
