Bongusto in City of London, Westminster

Restauranten er bra og maten er god. Men var ops på at de tar ekstra betaling for servicen uansett. Litt irriterende at dette ikke står noe sted på menyen for eksempel. Men kommer selvfølgelig fin trykket fram på kvitteringen. Prinsippsak !

Este restaurante estaba a la vuelta de la esquina de mi hotel y yo estaba buscando una buena comida antes de ir al teatro. La comida era preciosa. El servicio fue rápido y amable. Muy recomendable.

Quería llevar a la familia de Escocia y del extranjero a un restaurante italiano lejos de las 'zonas turísticas' mundanas de Leicester Square y The Strand y, después de un par de horas de búsqueda en línea, encontré Bon Gusto. No nos decepcionó; la comida era excelente y el servicio / atención igualmente. Su ubicación no es mi localidad, pero volveré, simplemente porque era excelente relación calidad-precio!

We loved the food and the ambiance, it feels really cozy in there and the staff was super nice as well. All three pasta dishes we ordered (only managed to photograph the ricotta & spinach ravioli) were great.

Delicious food , lovely ambiance , welcoming and kind service. We loved it all and had to go once more this week. Next time in London , I’ll dine here again.

Real Italian food. Nothing fancy, but nailing the classics. If you want authentic Italian food this is a good choice. Price is ok too.

Comida buenísima y presentación muy cuidada. Italiano de verdad. Servicio muy correcto y agradable. El mejor restaurante al que hemos ido en Londres. Lo recomiendo y repetiría.

If you’re in London and you’re looking for excellent Italian food then this is your restaurant, service was excellent and the restaurant is very cozy. The food was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back.

Pas terrible Ils nous ont facturé 5,5 livres pour 4 tartines de pain Repas moyen Serveuse pas très sympathique C l endroit où j ai le moins aimé manger dans Londres

Cibo ottimo servizio eccellente,prodotti di prima qualità, una bandiera dell Italia a Londra Da provare Riccardo Avetta.

Discreto, niente di veramente entusiasmante. La pizza era abbastanza discreta ma il prosciutto e melone insipido. Secondo me va benissimo per gli inglesi che hanno standard richiestivi meno elevati sul cibo rispetto agli italiani.

Our hotel recommended this Italian restaurant for our first night in London as it was close by. What a gem. Great Italian food. I had the branzini and my husband the carbonara. Both tasty. Small intimate dining spot I totally recommend.

Some of the menu items were great, others not so. Pepperoni pizza, melon with Parma ham, and bruschetta were all hits with our group, while the white pizza and ravioli were rather bland. The wait staff were amazing. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.

Great little Italian restaurant, super friendly service ,great location for people watching and the pizza was amazing.

It's ok but on balance, there was little to love, we thought. The service was very good, but it was a 5pm meal in that lull between the late lunchers and the evening diners. It got busier as 7pm approached. Two mains, a pizza and a spaghetti alla vongole were ok, the latter really wasn't anything to write home about. Both a little dull, even the diavola pizza. Tiramisu and a few scoops of vanilla ice cream and a coffee topped it off. Again, ok. Nothing offensive, nothing bad at all, just that the meal was so so. The restaurant itself is functional, yeah, that's probably the best word. Encouraging that it did seem to have some regulars.

我们因为赶一点钟去白金汉宫，所以选择在该店买外带的三明治。给我们加工三明治的店员没有给我们提供装食物的纸袋、餐巾，而这些对我们之前的顾客都是有的。还把给我们的三明治烤焦了，然后把沾到他手上的奶酪直接抹到工作裤的臀部位置上。

Bongusto sorge in una via adiacente a Buckingham Palace ed è un piccolo angolo d'Italia, dove gentilezza e qualità del cibo ne fanno da padrone! Cortesia del personale e ottimi panini farciti al momento con prodotti di qualità. 100% italiano. Torneremo.

Authentic italian cooking. Portions not the biggest but good quality. Convenient if visiting Buckingham Palace.

Appena stato in un autentico ristorante italiano trapiantato a Londra. Cibo veramente squisito, dall'antipasto al dolce. Servizio ITALIANO e di cuore. Un locale che ti fa sentire a casa anche a migliaia di chilometri di distanza. Prezzi in linea con la media londinese, anche un poco più economici, in ogni caso ottima qualità/prezzo. Ci tornerò di sicuro alla mia prossima vacanza londinese.

Great service and fresh food. Myself and my partner had carbonara it was fresh and delicious and my daughter had a pizza equally as good. Great find 😊

We randomly found this place while we were wandering around Buckingham Palace. It wasn't totally random though. Google helped us to find it. They are friendly Italian people making good Italian pizza and other food.

Ein tolles, kleines Restaurant mit einem sehr guten Preis/ Leistung Verhältnis! Sehr zu empfehlen! Liegt zwischen der Station St. James und dem Buckingham Palace. Direkt gegenüber der Westminster Chapel.

Stopped by here for an impromptu lunch whilst on a weekend leisure trip.... fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic coffee.... what more can you ask for. Xx

Popped in for a coffee but stayed for lunch, really good food served by friendly hard working staff. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the full experience including a delicious meal and excellent service. The waitress was great not only in the good service but the interacting personality. We came back a second evening based on the first experience. That was even better. We will recommend to any friend that visits London.

Had a chicken moss pepper panini here and it was wonderful. Just a tight little place that is better than first appearance. Older man makes and serves food from behind the glass....recommend if near Buckingham Palace in London.

The vegetarian options are limited. Had pizza which had bade filled with oil. Pizza hut serves better pizza than what I had here. It was expensive and not worth the money..

Having had the proverbial Italian grandmother who emigrated to America, I am very picky about Italian food. My wife and I just love this place. Its not fancy, but the food is great. Their sauces are authentic and they understand both "al dente" and that pasta should be hot when you get it. We have been here many times on recent trips to London. Go!! You wont regret it.

Trovato questo locale per caso, personale italiano, atmosfera calda.Data la posizione i prezzi sono abbastanza alti (due espressi=4.80 sterline) , ma ho mangiato la brioche con le mandorle più buona di sempre!

Fuimos por recomendación de Tripadvisor y no nos equivocamos!Magnifica atención con una comida deliciosa. Pedimos carne con papas fritas para los niños que viene con ensalada, porción generosa, Spaghetti a la bolognese, Spaguetti con almejas, Cesar salad, risoto con frutos del mar y sopa Comodoro. Todo delicioso (cada uno probo todos los platos) y con pastas artesanales de producción local. Cuentan con buena cerveza italiana (no hay sin alcohol), agua St pellegrino, Gelato, postres italianos de primer nivel. El cafe culmino una comida perfecta acompañada de una atencion muy cariñosa pero algo lenta que seria mi única critica. Ah y no hay wi-fi pero sirve para desconectarse no?Le doy 5 estrellas!

Minutes walk from Buckingham palace. This is a nice family restaurant for lunch and a good value evening meal. I have popped in a few times and get a tasty pizza or a very filling baguette.

What a find this was, just steps outside of the Taj, St James hotel at buckingham gate road this small charming restaurant serves truly fresh, excellent authentic Italian. Everything we tried was delicious and exceptionally tasty - soup, salad, appetizer, mains, pasta at prices that won't break the bank. Service is very friendly , will be delighted to return again.

Bon Gusto is a small Italian restaurant near Buckingham Palace. The food is elegant and served with Italian verve. Our waitress was so much fun to be around and very helpful in recommending selections on the menu. My husband had lasagna, which he said was excellent. I had spinach and ricotta cheese stuffed ravioli in a tomato cream sauce with pine nuts. It was also very good. I recommend Bon Gusto to anyone wanting good Italian food.

Nous étions venus déjeuner afin de continuer notre journée. Un temps d'attente interminable, une déco sans plus. Rien ne nous a fait penser à un italien. Mon saumon était mal cuit, et ma garniture pas assez assaisonnée. Le salon de thé en face vaut plus le coup.Je vous le déconseille fortement.

We stumbled on to Bon Gusto while walking around the Westminister area and glad we did. I believe the chef is from Rome, everything was homemade and fresh. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the lasagna, the spaghetti carbonara. We ended up going back another time while we were in town.

This seems to be a family run restaurant. The food is very very good. We went back to this restaurant a second time as we enjoyed it so much. It is very casual and reasonably priced.

This is a great cafe/restaurant. We had toasted sandwiches and coffee, both were very good. The service was good and the staff very friendly. I will call again.

The food is great but it takes forever to get your food, the service is bad and the waitress is VERY rude.

We stopped at this place, hungry after braving the crowds and standing for more than hour to watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. A pleasant find with friendly, courteous servers and good food at reasonable prices. We ordered the boscaiola pizza and the carbonara, so good there were no leftovers! Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Free wifi too!

Good main course but don't expect salad and bread like in the states. The extras would have made it better. Nice out of the way. It was close to our hotel. Server was nice and we received the food pretty quick. If we come again we might stop by.

Es hat eine reichhaltige Karte mit italienischen Gerichten. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich. Die Preise sind moderat. Würde ich jederzeit wieder hin gehen.

We wanted something nearby where we were staying. Luckily we stumbled upon this lovely jewel and had the best dinner. Staters and mains were on point and very satisfying. The service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend!

Unlike many establishments in London this cafe has a friendly atmosphere with pleasant staff and good food. We were staying at the nearby St. James Place hotel but we decided to have breakfast at Bon Gusto which is just across the road. The breakfasts ingredients were of high quality, the coffee superb, prices reasonable and the service excellent. Needless to say we had breakfast at Bon Gusto every morning during our stay.

Stayed at St. James Court which is just round the corner from Bon Gusto. Had a business dinner on Monday night. Very good food and price is very reasonable. Definitely value for money, and service was friendly, attentive and prompt. Decided to come back for breakfast the next morning. Again, good food. Highly recommended.

Ristorante provato per caso , in quanto vicino all'hotel, ci siamo fermati al rientro da una giornata di visite. Locale un po' strano non si capisce l'arredamento, ma devo dire che la pizza è molto buona, il personale molto gentile, addirittura parlano italiano. Buono anche il dolce. Prezzo molto concorrenziale. Da provare

ate at this nice Italain restaurant most days when I was in London recently. the weather was very cold and I simply enjoyed having good hot pasta that were just excellently done. I liked the nice home like feel to the restaurant and the service was consistently good. another plus is that there is no service charge and you are not expected to tip. but the service was great and it just shows the extent to which the owners try and create a nice environment to enjoy what was a very heartening and warm meal on those dreary wet and cold days in london.

Excelente elección; los platos son muy abundantes. El servicio también es excelente. Ofrece un menu muy variado. Destaco la relación precio-calidad.

We stopped in for lunch after visiting Buckingham Palace as this restaurant is right around the corner from the palace. It was a quaint, authentic restaurant with very good, fresh food. We enjoyed their pizzas, ravioli and lasagna. The food was good and the service was pretty good as well. All in all, we had a good experience and would recommend stopping by for a bite if you're in the area.

This restaurant was just across from my hotel. It is small and not particularly fancy, but the food was good, reasonably priced and hit the spot when eating alone after a day of meetings. They also sell take away food, which would be welcome if you live or work in the area.

Dopo aver visto la cara Elisabetta io e la mia amica andiamo in cerca di un posto per mangiare qualcosa. A pochi passi lo troviamo , inizialmente mi sembrava un alimentari di lusso poi ci si accorge che è un ristorantino molto carino! Personale gentilissimo e italiano come il proprietario molto esuberante ,(forse un po ansioso) , il cibo per essere un italiana a Londra è molto buono vi consiglio gli gnocchi! Per quanto riguarda il prezzo è un po alto se si pensa che abbiamo mangiato un piatto di gnocchi e uno di farfalle, ma bisogna pensare che siete a Londra e per di più dietro l'angolo c'è la queen! Quindi è tutto paragonato e proporzionato! Very good

I dined here on many occasions in the past. I'm a big fan of their Italian seafood salad which is one of the best I've had England. It comes close to similar dishes I've eaten in Italy.I dined here recently. Heard that it was bought by new a new owner. I noticed the menu and deco was different so I asked. They still serve good pizza and pasta but the salad dishes got a full revamped.Now that I know, guess I won't be making any detours to dine here. Good pizzas and pasta aren't so difficult to find in London, but good old Italian seafood salad is another story...

I have been visiting this restaurant for a while now. It is a great hit with my colleagues when we occasionally do team lunches in this lovely little restaurant (seems like a family run place). The sandwiches are amazing - fresh and well made. The service is excellent with a very friendly atmosphere.

My wife and I were staying locally and decided to visit Bon Gusto for an early dinner; so early in fact that we were the first diners although the restaurant gradually filled up through the evening.The food (Saltinbocca for me and halibut for my wife) was very good; my initial choice of wine was corked but the friendly waitress changed it without hesitation.The only slight hesitation I have about the restaurant is that as the evening progressed and the restaurant filled up the service slowed down considerably,so Ithink the management should consider employing an additional waiter/waitress.

We were recommended this place by our chap at the Taj, for brunch - super simple, but if you want true Italian food, come here. The service was smart and fast, its slightly hidden so not too hectic, and from the coffee to the spagetti bolognese, it really was great - my best ever pasta dish. And super reasonable too. We went there every day as we liked it so much. Having been to other so called classy places in London and been left cold, for simple, great food with a genuine Italian flavour, 100% recommended.

Ristorantino gestito da italiani in una via un po' defilata proprio dietro Backingham Palace, propone cucina casalinga in ambiente simpatico ed accogliente

We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant last week after visiting Churchill's War Rooms. It was freezing outside, so we were happy to get inside a cozy restaurant. It was very bright and nicely decorated inside. The menu looked great; between the 5 of us, we orderered a Margherita pizza, Beef Lasagna, Penne Pasta, Veal Liver, and Linguini. Everything was delicious! The food did not take too long. We enjoyed some Chianti wine as well. For dessert, we got the Tiramisu and Chocolate Mousse. Both were exquisite! Overall, very impressed with the experience. It was the best Italian food we'd had since visiting Italy over the summer.

We stayed across the street, at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate, and got into the habit of coming here for breakfast--and often, dinner. Everything here is delicious, the service is friendly and just wonderful, and despite all these wonderful things, we could always get a table. We miss this place now that we are home.

Lovely little Italian restaurant tucked around the corner from Buckingham Palace. Food was delicious, and of course they also served fish and chips!

The breakfast here is delicious! The service is quick and the staff are very attentive. It is such a great place to eat from, before exploring beautiful London.

We stumbled upon Bon Gusto by accident and are so glad we did. The food is amazing and I'm hoping we get a chance to get back there before we leave for the states. You will not be disappointed in this one!

Durante il soggiorno a Londra dopo aver visitato Westminster Abbey stavamo andando verso Buckingham Palace e camminando sulla Petty France abbiamo incrociato questo locale.Il ristorante è gestito da Italiani e offre un'ottima scelta di piatti italiani per chi ha nostalgia di casa ma soprattutto della cucina italiana, noi abbiamo optato per un antipasto di terra tipico e della buon pasta (una matriciana e una al ragù), ma facevano anche le pizze e panini. L'ambiente è cordiale e il servizio è ottimo, il personale quasi tutto italiano è molto disponibile e cortese, i prezzi sono convenienti considerando la media dei locali in zona. Consigliato.

Good choice on menu and well priced. Food was really good - amazing pizzas and lasagne! Also, best coffee in town!

Just loved the food. The staff are nice. Would recommend if you are staying nearby and wanting to try other than hotel food.

We decided to eat here since it was close to our hotel for breakfast. Beautiful, small, and great English Breakfast. Pricing was reasonable.

I wrote an earlier review about the good food and wine here, and forgot to mention the tiramisu. You have to experience it, it is authentic and delicious.

My wife and I went in here not expecting much, just an alternative to another night of pub food. It was just down the street from our hotel, the St. James Court Hotel on Buckingham Gate. What a wonderful surprise! The food is authentic Italian, the wine is superb, and the people working there, all Italian, are friendly. We ate there twice, pizza the first time and lasagna the second. The ingredients are fresh and homemade. Try the Minafra Rosso organic wine with your meal. The spinach soup is excellent, too.

Excellent atmosphere, very nice decour, very good service. I really loved this place. We tried the traditional English breakfast and it was amazing. I truly recomd it if your going near Buckingham Palace.

Quite a small restaurant but very friendly and great food - fresh and good quality ingredients. Highly recommended for value in an expensive part of town

Excellent quick business lunch. Ordered the pasta special as recommended by the waitress and wasnt disappointed. Very friendly staff and great food.

The place is simple and has a traditional Italian menu with a selection of pastas, pizzas and a few beef and fish dishes. My pasta was good, not remarkable. Decent wine by the glass. For desert an honest fresh tiramisu.

bien que le nom soit italien, l'endroit sert un typique petit déjeuner britanique: oeufs, haricots, pommes de terre, champignons.... très copieux. Pas vraiment le meilleur breakfast de Londres mais c'est plutôt bon et très généreusement servi

Had a to kill some time so walked in with no expectations... fantastic sourdough break and great sandwiches. Very friendly service too ... will remember this for a long time!

Trouvé au hasard après plusieurs heures de marche dans Londres. Un petit bout d'Italie à Londres.Très bonne nourriture, bon accueil, bon rapport qualité/prix.Service rapide.La vitrine traiteur est très appétissante.

Great itialian restaurant we called in for lunch before visiting Buckingham palace. What a great place looks small from the outside but plenty of room on the inside. Food was delicious and plenty of it a great family/friends meeting place and great wines and beers at a reasonable price. The service was outstanding.

We stopped there because it was convenient to our hotel. I had a Good Full English Breakfast, and my wife had a nice selection of pastries. The English surely do love their pastries. Small dinning room and staff, but a nice spot for casual dinning.

We looked around for a nice coffee shop while walking to south bank and stumbled across this little gem hidden away.coffee was 10/10 and the staff there were brilliant, I was immediately taken by their lush food on display and decided to take some pictures.We will visit again soon :)

Scelta casuale ma perfetta! Ristorantino accogliente con personale italiano efficiente e gentilissimo. Piatti di ottima fattura con prodotti di prima qualitá e buoni prezzi. Senza dubbio da consigliare

A groups of us from work come here every Friday morning and always have a great time. One colleague swears it's the best coffee in London. Nice food, always accommodating and friendly staff.

Excellent food -- excellent service -- reasonably priced! Our favorite place for so we dined here almost every dinner our entire stay. HIGHLY recommend this place.

Enjoyed the breakfast here. Smaller place with a great menu with something for everyone. Good coffee as well which can be hard to find in London. Good and quick service at a fair price. They do all meals but we only had breakfast there.

We stopped here for lunch before heading to Buckingham Palace. The family (?) running this restaurant is really nice! They were helpful, the service was quick and the sandwiches were tasty. The pastas and pizzas on other tables looked good. And, the brownie is not to be missed - thank you for the advice, ladies!

Often use Bon Gusto for informal lunch meetings. It's usually busy which makes for a great atmosphere in concert with efficient and friendly service. You typically can't go wrong with any of the pizza and pasta dishes, or a combination of two starters makes for a great lunch.Menu is fairly extensive and well priced, a pizza is around £10+ and the quality and flavour makes it worth it, certainly better than more mainstream Italian restaurants.Having recently returned from Italy I have learned to appreciate Bon Gusto even more. Looking forward to the next visit.

The food was really delicious, but one of the waitresses was very unfriendly. She even wanted to throw us out, just because we were laughing a bit too loud.

Visited this restaurant for a second time in a couple of months for breakfast. Great location for a cheeky breakfast whilst waiting for your timeslot at Buckingham Palace hic is just up the road.Visited a second time when visiting London as enjoyed it first time!Well cooked breakfast, decent prices, great staff and very clean establishment.

This is a little gem that can be easily overlooked. The exterior does not do justice to what is inside. A typical true Italian restaurant where the food lives up to expectations. If staying nearby and you want a great meal you MUST give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Best lasagne i tried in London, home made! The rest of the menu is interesting too, also some wines you should try. Good place, good staff.

Fab food, friendly service and fair prices! Had a delicious lunch here today, food was fresh and delicious and the place had a lovely atmosphere thanks to the welcoming service, looking forward to my next trip back there.

Friendly Service. Food was average, pizzas probably being the better option. Prices are a little high dor what you get.

We spent 7 nights in London, had 6 breakfasts and 3 dinners here. The nights we weren't here we were at a show. Great food, reasonably priced, and the staff are brilliant. Made our trip to London even more special. Do yourself a favour.

This is my local go to, the coffee is rocket fuel & breakfasts divine..I stopped by today for lunch, I had the chicken Caesar salad, it was phenomenal! I'm happy to tell you the staff are attentive and well trained, I also had a birra moretti served cold, which was an absolute delight out in the sun! I highly recommend popping in for a visit!

We found this place by chance and really enjoyed the experience. Very tasty toasted sandwiches with a good range of fillings to choose from, all at reasonable prices. Not much space to sit outside and on the day we were there all inside tables were reserved. Would happily eat here again.

We ate here 2 dinners and 1 lunch in our 6 day stay in London. It was extremely close to Buckingham Palace Prices were great, food was even better, service was amazingly friendly. They make you feel like you are a long time customer the first time you eat thereWe are from New Jersey and have awesome pizza here, and the pizza for lunch was up-to- standard for usOur first time was a Monday at 6 pm, and it was entirely empty, but we decided to try anyway, and it was amazing. Don't be put off if it is not full early...

Aunque está en zona muy turística es un italiano muy decente. Gran servicio y comida muy buena y casera. Son agradables y el precio es más que aceptable. Muy recomendable.

We tried the vegetarian breakfast - small portions, but good quality. The seating area is divided into small sections. Seats by the window are nice. Service is ok and options are limited. It is right opposite the Taj St James Court hotel, which is how we came to try this place. If you are in the area and have no other place to try, this is a good option

Came here twice while we were staying in a hotel nearby. Very good Italian food and wonderful service. After being out in the crazy throngs of people in summertime London it was great to come into such a welcoming atmosphere where the food was excellent (fresh pasta!) and we could just sit and enjoy our meals. Would definitely recommend for good Italian food and a pleasant relaxing atmosphere.

I visit this restaurant at least once a week with work colleagues and over the last year the hospitality of all the ladies that work there has been nothing but exceptional and welcoming. Me and my partner had the pleasure last weekend of celebrating the morning after our wedding night having breakfast in there, rather than in St James' Hotel around the corner where we had been staying and when the girls found out we had got married they gave us a 'gratis' breakfast. I want to say you are the most hospitable people I have ever come across in London. The food is superb and we will always be loyal customers. Thank you.

We dived in here for breakfast last week, and we got such a warm welcome. The coffee is fantastic - walk straight on past all the endless Costas and Starbucks and Prets that are every 50 yards near here.. I had delicious eggs Florentine (poached eggs, Hollandaise, wilted spinach, granary bread, well seasoned with black pepper and a little nutmeg) and other selections chosen by others were excellent. Excellent London Italian cafe.

We stumbled upon this restaurant with two hungry and jet-lagged children in tow. Marianna made sure the kids were well fed and happy before we left. They compared every restaurant thereafter to Bon Gusto! Food was good, priced well but the service will make your day!
