Especially if you sit at the bar, you can watch the delicious meal I have attached as a photo, being prepared by the team working in a systematic and fast manner… The octopus salad was also very nice…

Loved the food, it was amazing and rustic and delicious. Service was great, but possibly a little over attentive when we were there for a business lunch, so we felt a little bit interrupted. But will definitely be returning, thank you.

Excellent experience here having the pre-theatre meal on a Friday evening. We sat at the chef's counter. It was a bit warm from the heat but really interesting to watch the kitchen work. The service was impeccable. We never had to call over our server. She stayed on top of things and anticipated our every need. The pre-theatre meal isn't a ton of food, but it's perfect if you had a big lunch. They do offer free bread, olives, and a delicious olive oil for dipping. We came as a couple, but the chef's counter would be a great option for a solo diner as well.

I recently dined at Bocca di Lupo under somewhat unusual circumstances, as I had lost my voice just before the visit. Despite this, the staff were incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating, making the experience feel seamless and comfortable. The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the risotto and the asparagus. Both were full of flavour and really well done. Everything we tried was delicious. I can't wait to visit again.

Our waiter James talked us through the menu and we had:- Fritto misto - squid, prawns, courgettes & blood orange Sea bream carpaccio, blood orange & rosemary The crab Spaghetti and from the Mixed Grill Seafood - Gurnard and Squid The sauces were incredibly, especially the crab one and we ordered more bread to soak them up.

This dinner was truly delightful. Beyond the quality of the food and the charming ambiance, I have to highlight the creative concept of ‘small plates’ — though they’re not small at all! Each one could easily satisfy someone with a normal appetite. My husband and I tried about four different dishes, but the absolutely unforgettable one was the goat papardelle — a perfectly executed Italian classic with a unique twist. AMIZING FOOD AND SERVICE!

What a fabulous little restaurant! My friend and I loved our lunch at Bocca di Lupo. I noticed the cool, sophisticated atmosphere from the moment you walk in, and was soon greeted by friendly staff. We ate at the counter which was fabulous, as you can see the open kitchen and the team of chefs preparing and cooking your food. We had a blood orange salad with micro fine slices of white onion, lambs sweetbreads (in the finest tempura batter), grilled squid and some incredible pasta with mascarpone and lemon. For pudding we shared a blood orange granita....and everything was delicious and faultless. And just note, it was good value too. I'll 100% go again, and again. Grazie mille alla squadra da Bocca di Lupo!

Nuestra segunda visita a este restaurante. Una experiencia magnífica desde la recepción hasta el pago de la factura. El menú ofrece una variedad de platos inventivos e incluso atrevidos de toda Italia. Y por atrevimiento me refiero a un plato como ”Leche - intestinos de ternera alimentados con la leche de la madre dentro servido con tomate y pecorino”. Mi favorito era la mente - soplando ”Spaghetti con carne de cangrejo araña marrón con tomate datterini”. También tienen una muy buena carta de vinos con la mayoría de los vinos disponibles por copa después de las 9. 30 pm. Y el personal - super agradable!

Great night out dining at Bocca di Lupo. Seeing a restaurant full to the brim is always a good news. Being on the expensive side, I expected a bit more from the food, especially from the deserts. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good and tasty. Maybe my memories are too saturated with Italian food (the spoils of living in a large cosmopolitan city) hence my high expectations. The deserts dropped the ball a bit, but that did not spoil the overall impression. Will I visit a second time? Yes, maybe for lunch during a quieter time (weekday), so I can get the other side of their menu.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness, The staff made us feel at home while keeping a professional and attentive approach, The food was simply incredible, Every dish was made with high-quality ingredients, but what truly stood out was the perfect balance of flavours and the expert preparation in the kitchen. The kitchen wasn’t afraid to push boundaries, combining refined ingredients with creative flair like the home-made pappardelle with rich oxtail ragù or the bold yet delicate lamb tongue, It was hard to pick a favorite dish because everyone at the table had a different favorite, a true testament to how well-balanced and expertly crafted every plate was. The service, led by Marzio, was just as impressive, He struck the perfect balance between friendly and meticulous, guiding us through the menu with passion and precision, He explained each ingredient and the cooking process with incredible attention to detail, making the whole experience even more memorable. This wasn’t just a meal it was a journey through flavours and tradition.

Waiter is very important in a restaurant. I think the food we ate could have been more delicious or explained more accurately, but it was a bit disappointing. However, while the waiter's comments were quite good, it seemed unfortunate to us. We bought the set menu before the theatre, I'm not sure if it was the right choice, but the pasta they serve as a main course makes me think it's not worth going to this restaurant. Artichoke carpaccio is very interestingly delicious, I recommend it.

We experienced expensive lack lustre food. I ordered stuffed cannelloni- with roast cauliflower with basil sauce. The portion was very small more like a starter. The portion should be doubled in size to warrant the £21 !! Pizza was very mediocre - couldn’t cut through the base - much wasted. Wouldn’t eat here again.
