Bizzarro in City of London, Westminster

Very authentic Italian place, really large portions, very tasty and full of different flavours. The waiters are Italian, very straightforward and manners

Lovely and affordable Italian food served by attentive, welcoming staff. The atmosphere was buzzing on a Tuesday evening!

We arrived at 2:10 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. we were already leaving. The service was excessively fast, a little more and we were kicked out of the establishment due to the speed with which the waiter was going. Very attentive at all times but sometimes, less is more. It depends on the person, but having the napkin placed on my lap and being served everything (water, pepper, cheese...) is overwhelming and I don't like this type of attention. We were chewing the last piece of the plate and the plates had already been taken away from us and we had the dataphone to pay on the table. The right food and the location too. I find the tables small and very close to each other. Vapiano is on the same street and the service and atmosphere is much better.

Great pizza. Very friendly and fair prices. I would come back 👍

One of the most beautiful and delicious restaurants in London. The restaurant is very crowded, but they don't make you wait a few minutes and let you in. During my stay in London for a week, I tried it 4 times because of the deliciousness of the food and the service staff were very friendly and cheerful. I ordered seafood pasta, one of the most delicious pastas I have ever tasted. The burrata salad and pizza are also amazing.

Delicious Italian food, can eat in with or without a booking. Service does feel a bit rushed, however feel free to take your time. Portion sizes are decent and prices are reasonable even with added service charge.

The staff were attentive and welcoming to a solo female traveler. Alessandra was such a wonderful server, she’s a gem! It was a cold/rainy day so I started with the excellent past Fagioli soup. Next I enjoyed the lemon chicken with veggies of the day. Finally I ended the meal with decaf coffee and tiramisu. A wonderful meal and enjoyable meal solo. If you are looking for solid Italian food and a pleasant atmosphere, come here and you’ll be happy.

The food was lovely though the portion size for the ravioli is small (around 8 pieces) when you pay £1 extra for it as a "main" course. Also apparently 2.5dl wine glasses are a thing. To us it was clear that we wanted 2 glasses with the 2.5dl of wine not 2×2.5dl. And though the thought of complaining about the speed of service seems mad, it felt like they were just trying to get you fed and out the door as quickly as possible to get the next customer in. All of italy's efficiency is here at Bizzarro and nothing was left for the mainland. Food itself lovely though!

Cozy, warm place with the Mediterranean soul and taste of great food combined together. For all lovers of great taste, more than recommended.

We had a lovely time here, we had a great catch up over excellent food which were great portions and value for money. Despite being busy we were not rushed on. Really friendly staff, would come back, thank you 😁

Amazing staff. Made our evening, honestly!

Went for lunch and it was the most amazing food and venue. Would 100% recommend best Italian restaurant Iv been to in years!

Really delicious Italian food and super nice staff 😊✨

Best value Italian in central London.Excellent quality produce,and service,never dissapoints.

If you want to eat in an Italian restaurant near Paddington, this restaurant is for you. A very welcoming place, the maitre (?) is Italian and will put you at ease. Unlike other places, the first courses are not just bad. I found the addition of £1 a bit annoying if the first course you choose is a first course. The waiters don't speak Italian but are very kind.

VERY GOOD restaurant in London, I recommend!!!!! Very pleasant and smiling staff Italian atmosphere Excellent al dente and creamy pasta cuisine, homemade pizza pasta and a very good dessert to finish and all at a very reasonable price

Pietanze di buona fattura e qualità nonché abbondanti .personale gentile e disponibile in particolare Alessandra e Felice

This is one of my favorite restaurants in London. Usually ordered seafood risotto and spaghetti or pasta in tomato sauce. Service is good just they're busy sometimes need to wait for some time to order food. But overall I still like this restaurant. Full of memories.

What a proper gem! There is a full selection of authentic Italian food, including pizza, pasta, and many other tasty treats. There are vegetarian options too. The food is delicious, but what’s truly astonishing are the prices. Honestly, it’s surprising that meals that good are as well priced as they are (especially in London). I’ve been there twice now in the past month. And I’ll be back again (hopefully a plethora of times) in future!

Good food, nice staff, but a little noisy.

Packed restaurant on a Sunday night! The carbonara was delicious.

we didn't wait too long to eat. The service was very quick and the portions generous.

After the fantastic reviews we had to try it. But was a bit disappointed. The food is good and OK. Staff very nice. But it is nothing to be over exited about. A rustic Italian but there are many at this level. We tried a couple of pastas and a pizza with the family. I’ve had better Italian food in Sweden several times. The White House wine was very average. The wine prizes were through the roof.

The restaurant was very busy when we arrived but they found a table for 5 within a few minutes. Others were also queuing and were shown to tables as soon as they came available according to party size. The service was efficient and friendly. The food pretty good with the salmon and vodka sauce being a favourite but the entrecote steak a bit disappointing. Prices are not unreasonable for London and the location near Paddington station is good. I personally found it to be rather noisy but I often find that with busy restaurants, must be an age thing.

Really delicious food, fast and fantastic service. Really friendly and talkative waiter! Can be recommended!

Great place to have a typical italian pasta. Service was great, and the food was good.

Food was good. The whole store and the staff were totally hectic. This unrest spread to the entire restaurant. After the meal, the bill was immediately placed on the table, as if they wanted to get rid of us. However, the boss wasn't there that evening. No atmosphere for a cozy evening.

What a surprise. Stopped here on Sunday afternoon after the pubs stopped serving food. It was phenomenal!

Great service, buzzing atmosphere obviously locally popular. Food was good and catered for our Gf requirements easily. Good price and great place to return to

Brilliant, busy and authentic Italian restaurant. Accommodated us as a walking with short waiting time. Food and service was fabulous.

The pizza is delicious and the waiter is nice

We ordered calamari, margherita pizza, lasagna, and tagliatelle with spinach, mushroom and parmesan. The lasagna was perfect Margherita pizza was so delicious and light, you can enjoy a whole pizza on your own. The calamari, served a bit cold, was good but not exceptional. The tagliatelle was authentically Italian with an olive oil sauce, which was nice but might not suit those expecting a creamy pasta. Good service, attentive and friendly. Nice, cozy atmosphere that brings you right into Italy. They got a unique way of birthday celebration 🥳 Overall: A great spot for anyone craving an authentic Italian experience with genuine flavours and ambiance. Note: try seafood risotto looks so yum

As a small family, we spent much more than the tables next to us. The other tables received a free drink after payment, we received nothing.

Amazing traditional Italian with fabulous atmosphere & even better food. We called in on the off chance on a Tuesday evening while staying in Paddington and timed it right to be able to get a table as it filled up very quickly after us - & rightly so! Food was beautiful, service was amazing, highly recommend!

My boyfriend and i shared the mixed antipasti and were both disappointed with the quality of the meats and olives. We then shared the chicken and spinach linguine. The pasta was well cooked, but overall, the dish was bland and lacked seasoning. We finished with the mixed grill with a side of potatoes, and seasonal vegetables were bland and most likely frozen rather than fresh. Overall, we were disappointed with the quality of the food, but it was all edible, and the service was fine.

Pizza was delicious! Also the staff was amazing.

Fabulous restaurant, unpretentious. Our server, Antonio was helpful and friendly. Food was really very good. We booked in advance and glad we did as when we got there, people were waiting, queuing out the door for a table.

Like a short visit to Italy. When you enter you are greeted by the boss and quickly assigned a table. Busy atmosphere as you are used to in Italy. Nice menu! Service is quick and very friendly. The pizza was on the table within 10 minutes despite the store being full and was also very tasty! The boss came to our table several times to ask if everything was okay. He then bought our daughter an ice cream because we were so nice. There was also a limoncello and, for our daughter, orange juice in a liqueur glass. An all-round successful dinner in an authentic atmosphere.

I had a lovely evening dining alone here. The atmosphere and service were brilliant. The waiter was so kind and helped me choose my meal. It was an excellent meal, and overall, was a great vibe!

We had a wonderful meal here on our recent trip to London. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. The pizzas and deserts were delicious. Very well priced for central tral London. Would definitely eat here with the family again. Highly recommended.

Dishes are very big portions, so if you are not very hungry it would be better to share. The salmon vodka is amazing! It is a nice place with a helpful staff.

Very good pizzas! A very good address. Welcomed with a smile and we were found a place even though we hadn't reserved. Fair prices.

Incredible! We came recommended by a friend and we have been very well received. The service is excellent and the homemade food is delicious, especially the pasta and tiramisu. We loved it so much that we have come three times during our stay in London, special mention to Don Antonio for making us feel at home.

Open till 12am The pasta that i ordered with beef wasnt the best. But the salmon one was good. The Arancini was delicious.

Their four cheese gnocchi and linguine were amazing!

Bizzaro: A Taste of Italy in London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment I called ahead to reserve a table, Bizzaro impressed me with their attentive service. The manager recognized my voice when I arrived and had my table ready, which was a lovely touch. My waiter was fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. The food was delicious! Authentic Italian dishes with fresh ingredients and wonderful flavors. I especially enjoyed the lamb chops (though a touch more seasoning would have been perfect!). It's clear they take pride in their cuisine. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to London! #ItalianFood #LondonEats #GreatService #AuthenticCuisine #HiddenGem

When it comes to value for money and service, there's no better Italian restaurant in London with aunthetic food, managed by real Italians

A restaurant with fantastic service and better food...

A proper Italian restaurant! Very pleased with our lunch yesterday.

Ordered the seafood pizza as they are delicious at my local Italians in Newcastle. However, I was bitterly disappointed to find it was covered in water from the seafood and the squid was inedible as it was too hard. Furthermore, there were no herbs or spices or tomato for that matter, so it was completely tasteless. This place has a 4.5 review but in my opinion it is undeserved. Would advise not ordering the seafood pizza! Tried to eat as much as I could, but left half of it. I questioned this with the waiter and he said this is how it comes, it's the water out of the seafood!

Best Italian food I had outside of Italy! Reasonably price points, with extensive menu this tiny place has a ton of experience, in the kitchen and in the dining room. Close to Paddington station I always get my Italian food fix here when not in Italy. I'm a regular now!

I’ve been here three times eating dinner with my family. I strongly recommend spaghetti frutti di mare & carbonara. Warm staff and good wine. Highly recommend!

Delicious. Large portions, very good value for money. Great attentive service. Definitely worth a visit.

Very good affordable dishes like: carbonara. Nice service.I strongly recomend

Can't comment on the food because we didn't stay long enough to try it. Truly dreadful service where we were ignored for 15 minutes so decided to leave. Others were served around us. And it was loud in there. People shouting at each other just to be heard. Went to Vapiano instead. MUCH better.

Super!! Very friendly, very tasty and always very busy. We ate here twice during our stay in London

It's a very ordinary Italian restaurant, but it's reasonably priced in London, and it's conveniently located.

It is a nice restaurant to eat well, with a plate and some salad to accompany (and dessert), it is enough. The food is delicious and the waiters are professional, polite, attentive and friendly. We had a very comfortable dinner, and we will return for sure.

We ended up walking out. Lackluster food, noisy, and abominable service.

Very good restaurant, tasty and well served food.

We stopped with my husband for dinner at this restaurant and I must say it was a pleasant surprise, the pizza was delicious, then we also tasted the pasta carbonara which was also very good. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I highly recommend it.

Excellent food, fair prices and very kind owners. Perfect location, shame that the basement is a bit old but everything is good.

Excellent evening with great food. Loved the freshness of the ingredients and the pastas and Ivan's service truly made our night. The lemon souffle cake gave an amazing finishing touch. Overall vibes were buonissimo, bravo!

Discovered by chance near our hotel! Family and welcoming atmosphere, very good dishes and absolutely honest prices! I will definitely recommend it to all my friends who are traveling to London!! 💖

Highly recommended. The food is very good and the staff was very friendly.

The calzone was really good, and the dessert options are really good as well. I tried some of my friend's calamari, and that was my favorite thing here.

Thank you to all the team today, the food was delicious and the service was 10/10. The waiters were very kind and explained to me some of the options on the menu with enthusiasm and helped me decide. When I ordered the dessert they put a candle on the lemon souffle and sang Happy birthday. Antonio is amazing, thank you so much!

Very good restaurant! Great food, excellent service and pleasant atmosphere! I'm going to miss this restaurant in London

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service I received at your restaurant. The service was awful, and the waitress displayed arrogance and behavior that I perceived as discriminatory. This experience was very disappointing and unacceptable.

Loved this classic family style Italian restaurant. Authentic food, fresh ingredients, affordable and satisfying portions. The staff are busy, but do their best to provide guests with good service. We loved sitting outside in the fresh Autumn air. Thanks Isaac for taking care of us!

Wonderful place to eat best pizza. The people who works at the Bizarro, they were very friendly.

The waitress there is very rude. We waited several minutes to order and check. She always seems very busy. The table next to us get the service we want, she asked for the order and gave them water. But for our table, we need to wait for a while, she definitely saw us, but chose to ignore us. We was gonna to order dessert, but don’t want to wait for a long time again. And until we left, still didn’t get the water we asked when we ordered. The food is not bad. And the environment is noisy, everybody working here seems very busy.

Only bought gluten free pasta. The older men were so friendly and welcoming. Lovely to hear Italian again. The pasta was great and cost £2 less to take away than to dine in.

Excellent Italian restaurant, very good food and excellent service.

The food was very good and reasonable value. The service was good although one server was rather brusque. Very positive atmosphere. I will be back!

Friendly staff serving with a small and good italian food.

Great Italian food but need to wait for a while to be seated.

The service was so bad I felt sad. Very kind to regulars, unfriendly to tourists. The customer in front of me was also angry at the staff's response and went home. If you are concerned about service, we recommend another store.

Super recommended, very nice place....very helpful and kind and everything was delicious.. Everything Everything 💯💯💯

Bizzarro is one of the reasons I keep coming back to London. This place has everything: good food, great prices, and excellent staff! Each and every time I feel welcomed and appreciated for being there. I can't wait for my next visit.

A simple calamari and a spaghetti bolognaise. Honestly not very tasty. How hard is it to get a spag bol right? The table staff were doing their best to manage an a disorganised service. I was presented with a bill with a service charge which I paid for the staff as it’s clearly a management issue. I then found out that they don’t pass this on to the staff. DISGRACEFUL

My last 2 visits were really very bad in-terms of service, Food is tasty but service is really disappointing. I’ve booked a table and I’ve been waiting outside more than 40 mins, More than 20 mins to get someone to take my order plus the table was very dirty. I understand how busy they’re but also I ‘ve been calling the staff to take order or to order some more drinks or food and mostly they were ignoring us. Finished food and long wait for someone to clear my table. Waiting again 5 mins for someone to pay me attention to ask them for dessert menu and they put me the cutlery on the table with out wiping the table from the food. Really disappointed!! This place was always my favourite. I didn’t left a review last time as I said may be was an off night, But really no way!!!

Great service. Dishes prepared by native Italians and you can feel it. I recommend. Lasagne is delicious, carbonara is tasty but not outstanding, sufflete is tastier than tiramisu.

Delicious food, excellent service.

The best Italian food in London

This place is a clear example of why you can’t always trust the ratings. This restaurant has too many tables in a cramped, over crowded space and getting service takes forever. We had a reservation but no table was ready when we arrived on time. A middle aged waitress literally threw the menus on our table and another waiter told her in Italian that “they don’t throw menus at customers like that”. It took a while to get served and the food was just decent but overpriced. I went to Bizarro because of the high ratings but left very disappointed. I’ve tried the smaller restaurants on the side streets of Praed St. and the food is much more authentic with personalized service and better prices. Tourists give the high ratings to this place but if you know real Italian food, this is not the place.

We stumbled upon this place by chance, from the first second Alessandra made us feel at home, precise, warm, dynamic, FANTASTIC. I lived in London for a couple of years but rarely do you find a place where you can really feel at home, the food was excellent, we had pizza and crepes, everything was really good, the coffee then... I finally managed to drink some an excellent one. In short, when we return we will stop by your place. You have conquered us. See you soon. Ariadne

Good food and a safe bet. You can't go wrong here.

Amazing food, good service, and low prices! The only small problem is that the tables are kinda small and there isn't much room between the tables.

A great local Italian restaurant that offers fast and efficient service and wonderful value food and authentic Italian dishes

The food is tasty and abundant. The attention is friendly.

Great Italian restaurant for every day! Everything is delicious, fast, friendly) If you have a question: “where to eat?” in the Pedington area, you couldn't do better! Thank you for your hospitality!

Carbonara is not the traditional Italian one. Pizza and other pasta great. Excellent service, they speak Spanish. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, waiter absolutely made our evening - sorted our kids without them even looking at a menu, serving them exactly what they wanted and so quickly that let me and the husband able to sort the kids and have a chat before our food came out! Lovely food but the staff certainly care!

Good Italian restaurant, tasty food great service

Authentic Italian food. Well presented and delicious. Ate there twice during our 6 day stay in London. Loved it the first time and just had to return. A very busy restaurant and can be noisy so if you want an intimate meal, this isn’t the place. If you want a great authentic Italian meal, reasonably priced for London, this is definitely the place. It won’t disappoint. All the food served was delicious and we enjoyed every bite. Service is good and the servers work very hard. They are friendly and efficient. We felt like we were back in Italy again (we haven’t found food this good outside of Italy). Highly recommend.

Everything tasted great. There is a real vibe in the place! Very good night out.

It was my first visit to Bizarro and I would definitely go back. The place was busy but it was worth it. My lasagna was delicious. Highly recommended.

Lively Italian restaurant a short walk from Paddington. Excellent service and good food. Of the few Italian restaurants nearby, this is the only one that had people waiting to get into it, and it was packed the entire time we were there.

The decoration is very family-style and warm, and it is delicious and large. I ate at this Italian restaurant for three days in a row. I highly recommend the seafood pasta and seafood Italian rice. The service staff are also very enthusiastic and like to chat. Several of them are Italian. People can push the box smoothly without having to go up the steps.
