Briciole in City of London, Westminster

This is a great little find in Marylebone. Doesn't have the pretentious, boojie feel that many places around there have. It's just good food and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Enjoyed the pasta here, wish the tables were a little bitt bigger though

Disappointing, lasagne for 16 pounds was dry and hardly any meat sauce in it. Service just focussed on selling more. Put a charge of 12.5% as default on the bill. Feels like a ripoff with average food quality.

We all loved our choices, lasagne, ravioli, seabass and baby chicken. The chicken was the best I've tasted and my friend said his seabass was the best meal he had in this country. Really very good.

Always a great place for dinner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Food was simply excellent. My family ordered a couple of the lasagna and pumpkins ravioli. The ravioli was the best I had ever had and the lasagna was great too. Portion’s were of a decent size and made it represent good value for money! Overall excellent quality, authentic Italian food in central london. The ambience was relaxed and service was sharp without feeling rushed. Whilst not specifically suited to young children the table service made my daughter feel comfortable and welcome as they took special care to make sure she was happy.

A really solid neighbourhood choice, really good food, great selection of wine, excellent service.

Had tagliatelle wild boar ragu and prawn linguine.. both are very good.

🔝 hospitality, kitchen and cellar! Congratulations 🍾

So the staff was amazing. The food could use some work. The red sauce is very weak and lacking flavor. I'm not sure what they are missing. Also the mojito was off. Good luck getting at one of the business that is worth it

We stumbled upon this charming Italian restaurant just off the bustling streets near Marylebone Station by chance, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise! Feeling quite hungry, we were thrilled to find such a cosy spot. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal. The pasta was absolutely fantastic! The wine selection was also impressive, offering a wide variety of choices to pair with the meal. To top it all off, we indulged in a pistachio tiramisu for dessert, which was a unique and delicious twist on the classic. Service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a great dining experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Italian food in the area.

Simple traditional italian restaurant with very good food and great service. Prices are normal for the area.

Lovely Italian restaurant would come again. Great vibe

Excellent as usual always reliable. Super family run restuarant

Good food, good service, wonderful place, thank you :)

Extremely rude staff and noisy restaurant. I waited for 45min for a table and when we were finally seated we each ordered a glass of wine and entree. The place was super loud, we couldn't hear each other well despite sitting right next to each other. We were there for less than half an hour and decided it wasn't the atmosphere for us. When we told the waiter/manager this, he yelled at us and said you're not eating? I could have given this table to someone else. We were not made aware we had to be having main course to be seated. Regardless of whether we did order food or not, it's not how paying patrons should be treated.

On a flying visit to London, my wife booked a table at this fantastic local Italian gem of a restaurant to catch up with an old friend for an early dinner on a busy Friday evening. The food was delicious and authentic, the ambience relaxed and convivial, and the service second to none as the staff went out of their way to accommodate them when the number in their party unexpectedly grew from two to four to five during the sitting. Grazie infinite.

The best food I've had in a long time.

Authentic food. Well presented. Great service. The focus is on the food. It’s not fancy or pretentious, just food you would eat in someone’s home in Italy.

Abbiamo trovato questo ristorante grazie alla guida Lonely Planet. Ristorante molto accogliente e arredato con gusto. Personale molto disponibile e professionale in particolare Angelo. Cucina ottima con un ampio menú. Consigliato.

Bland and overpriced - couldn’t finish my main. Very disappointed

This is probably one of the best Italian meals I've ever had. The food was fantastic, great atmostphere, very friendly staff. Definitely recommend this restaurant

It was good. Not mind blowing but good option for a casual dinner . Maybe a little expensive .

One of the best Italian meals I've ever had - fantastic! Very welcoming and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Nice authentic Italian restaurant with good food and polite hospitable staff.

exceptional food and service. lamb chops were top shelf. the pea soup was a very nice surprise. great wine list.

Quality of the food is very good Small portion sizes of the pasta and side salads. Service was excellent. Would eat there more often if the pricing was more reflective of the small portion size.

Dined here twice in August, one lunch and one dinner. The servers are wonderful, the food is excellent and pan-Italian, no particular region is represented. Everything we ordered was excellent, particularly a pea soup, and the hand made biscuits. I am coming back in December.

We came across Briciole by chance and how lucky that was. A buzzing Italian family restaurant producing delicious food. The restaurant was full but we didn't wait long for our order to arrive. The one chef creates his magic in full view of the diners and we marvelled how he fed so many, juggling ingredients and pans without shouting at anybody. Shouty chefs take note! The Homer Street locals are lucky to have this gem of a restaurant in their midst. We will certainly return when we're next in the area.

This is our local restaurant. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Just fabulous.

We were looking for an Italian restaurant near our hotel in London and came across Briciole when searching the internet. The reviews were high, so we decided to try it. We are so glad we did! The restaurant is authentic Italian, with a nice variety of food and wine options. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The food and service were outstanding and the pricing was reasonable. If you are in this part of London and looking for a memorable meal, we highly recommend Briciole!

Great food and service sat outside in a lovely quiet street. Really enjoyed the Italian experience.

Fabulous lunch with friends. I had seabream and salad - beautifully cooked fish. Attentive and efficient front of house team. Lovely vibe. Wish I lived local - but when im next in London- I'll be back 🥰

Authentic in food, waitstaff, and both were fantastic!

Nice and tasty starters with brushetta and fried small pizza style snacks. Mains were a bit disappointing. Prawn linguine, the prawns were crumbly and tasted like they had fine sand in them and lasagne had more cheese sauce and less meat. Sandwiches were quite good.

Great local restaurant! With good food and great service.

Great spot for lunch, friendly staff and service and tasty food.

Real authentic italian restaurant, excellent main courses and the best tiramisu i had for ages in a restaurant.. the staff are really welcoming and well suited for families

Lunch last week was divine. Great food, very good friendly service. Pasta perfectly cooked. Many favourites on the menu and recommend, wild boar ragu, linguine with prawns and cherry tomatoes, or the gnocci with green peas, asparagus and pancetta. Simple dishes like Italian sausages or meat balls are delicious. Suggest a selection of anti pasti, or select your own cheese and meast dishes. Daily specials, a very good wine list. Sit outside on good days. Booking recommended. It's a keeper. Aug 2023: Still one of Marylebone's best Italian restaurants. Excellent food, great service, extensive wine list, cozy atmosphere, and convenient location. Outside tables in good weather but when its very hot inside recommended for the air conditioning. Daily specials recommended, the sausage ragu yesterday was excellent, my wife always has the Timballo de Melanzane, and our daughter loved the pumpkin ravioli. The main menu also recommended. My previous reviews below... you won't be disappointed, and you'll want to go back. Aug 22: Oh wow, just enjoyed a delicious new dish last week; Tonnarelli with mussels and pecorino cheese - its to die for. The core favourites are always delicious - try the pork cheek, but honestly you will just want to come back and try all the dishes over andd over. Good and varied wine list. On warm days outside tables are in demand. Wonderful service and great atmosphere. March 2022: Another fabulous evening in Briciole. Some new daily specials, the traditional menu still excellent, plenty of atmosphere, great service. Try the Arancino alla Norma or the especially sourced burrata. New was the fusilloni with courgette and provolone. My wife's meat balls were perfect. Desserts looked great at the next table, alas no room in my already satisfied belly. Thanks to the Bricole Team, well done as usual. Good wine list. Feb 2022: CONGRATULATIONS! Well done Briciole on celebrating 10 years of excellent food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. Noticed some new specials on the board, can't wait to try them! Dec 2021: Glad we went back. This is a really great Italian, excellent food, menu changes regularly, great wine list, friendly service. The pumpkin ravioli is excellent, as is their traditional wild boar ragu, also the meat balls. Daily specials always worth trying, today's rigatoni with aubergine, cherry tomatoes and spicy sausage was delicious. Hard to beat. Oct 2022: Note to self: Why don't I come here more often? It's been four months since dining at Briciole, and I must be crazy not to come more regularly. Freshly made pasta, delicious ravioli, great selection of various cheese and meats, and antipasti for starters. We shared the specials of rigatoni with sausage and broccoli, and ravioli with veal and Parma ham, with a celeriac puree. Honestly the taste was just marvellous. Nice wine list too. Worth a visit. Still my favourite Italian and really friendly people. July 2021: Briciole is now fully open inside, but on good days/ evenings go for an outside table. Food remains the same high quality, with a few new dishes. Recommend the daily specials- especially the burrata with smoked bassiano ham, and on this occasion the lightly grilled prawns with rocket. We had three mains between us; from the menu, gnocchi with asparagus, broad beans, green peas, the ravioli with lemon, tomato and basil sauce, and the fusilloni with yellow cherry tomatoes, anchovies, capers and burrata. All three lived up to our high expectations. Briciole sources delicious prosciutto, bresola, mozzarella, burrata from Italy, and all their cheese and meats are first class. The wild boar ragu is always very good, and my wife believes their melenzane is the best she has ever had. Probably the best Italian in Marylebone, if not London. Extensive regional wine list across the price range. Very friendly team.

Extremely disappointing. Poor quality food for the cost. Will not be returning.

Fantastic food and incredible service. The bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had.

Delicious authentic food, friendly timely service and a nice buzz to the atmosphere. Would recommend.

We’ve been regulars at Briciole since we moved back to London in 2010 and it’s never missed a beat. Friendly welcoming service, simple high quality Italian ingredients making delicious food, a wonderful combination. Last night I had grilled artichoke with bassiano ham as a starter, simple and quite magnificent. Veal and Ham ravioli with celeriac puree and butter noisette that was so good it made me want to lick the plate clean - I didn’t! Tiramisu, as it should be. We will be back.

Nice place. Very good antipasti. Reasonable price for the area. Would go again.

Ristorante italiano a Londra di buona qualità ma con prezzi un po' alti. Il locale e' gradevole e gentile il personale. Non male ma non ci ritornerei.

Work lunch. Very fast service. Delicious food. All in our party were very pleased.

Fabulous food speedily served. We sat out on a sunny day but would have been equally happy to sit inside this lovely restaurant

I made a reservation on such a short notice, but I was relieved because of the friendly service. It was very good that there was an assortment of appetizers with ham and salad.

Well I had the best linguine with seafood in my live . .. ENOUGH.

Food was tolerable at best but service was horrible and the space is so damn loud. I will not be coming back

Great italian restaurant hidden away from the busy street, but having its own magnetic charm. We’ve got the house special starter - prosciutto and seared/grilled artichokes, followed by medium rare steak (top notch 👌🏼), gnocchi with peas and parmesan, and a good salad to pair all this with. The waitress was really attentive and made great recommendations. At the end, we’ve got a sweet treat of cannoli and rum baba that paired amazingly with our tea. Food good, atmosphere good, service good, what’s not to love!? Definitely recommend 🤗

We stopped by for a small shared side order with a couple of drinks. A shared side order with a Spritzer and a coffee. The owner said they would make up a shared side plate so basically charged what they liked which was a mistake on our part. It was massively expensive with not allot of food on the two dishes for the money. It was a disappointment. I guess this is London prices... but it wasn't exactly the Ritz...

Really delicious food and high quality ingredients. Great service and lovely spot on the corner of a quite street.

Fabulous as always - amazing professional service. I thought the Franciacorta was a bit overpriced at £83, especially as there is only one on the wine list, but the overall experiences was highly enjoyable. Hope to see you again, soon.

Delicious food and they were great with children!

Attended a family wedding reception at Briciole. A small intimate occasion for 14 adults two toddlers and a baby. Held in a characterful basement room it was thoroughly enjoyable, the food was fantastic and the service was brilliant. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.

Friendly helpful staff, providing great support & suggestions in food and wine choices. Great service. The food was lovely, perfectly cooked and served with care. We visited at lunchtime on Sunday & the restaurant was quiet. Love that there is a deli counter & we were able to take home some meats and cheeses. Well worth a visit.

Our idea of a perfect “genuine” Italian restaurant, simple food well prepared with great service and a lovely atmosphere.

Food is not delicious. But nice place

Very friendly staff who were very attentive. Had lunch and the ravioli was a big favourite.

A lovely experience. Our third time eating here and we’ll be back.

Outstanding, friendly and buzzy local Italian trattoria with a great ambience and excellent down to earth food. Excellent value for central London. So good that we went back a second time.

Food was fantastic, the staff amazing, with a great atmosphere - thank you, we will definitely visit again 😊

Very very nice italian restaurant in Marylebone. Maybe a bit loud inside so we chose to sit on the terrace. The food was very nice and the waiters very attentive! Hopefully we will go back.

The tiramisu was out of this world. Never had tasted one like that and provably never will again. The owners are amazing.

Pasta GREAT, but the tiramisu is the best ever.

I was very disappointed by the quality of the food. It might be the worst Italian restaurant I've ever visited, as even the pasta was stale.

Just fantastic all round - a homely Italian restaurant, busy with a great vibe, excellent antipasti (with possibly the freshest burrata I've ever tasted) and perfect al dente pasta afterwards. Too full for dessert so will be returning to try it one day!

Neighbourhood style restaurant that clearly has been picked up by some tourist guides. Great food and wine selection - focused on a home cooking vibe rather than fine dining

If you want authentic Italian cuisine this place is a MUST!!

I was not sure why but staff was showing a bit irritated atmosphere during our dinner. Other staff were so good to explain menu and serving dishes…

One of the best Italian restaurants, very understanding staff, they offered to change our Gnocchi for free, although it was our mistake that we forgot to ask them to remove the pork meat. Great Tiramisu as well.

So nice to sit outside - very friendly waitress - extensive menu / very expensive wine list

Great welcome, friendly staff, delicious food and wine. To be recommended

Lovely table outside; so noise is a bit odd to talk about! Excellent meal.

Just fantastic yummy amazing beautiful food, service and place. The best Italian place i had tell today and i been in a lot of places Thank you

Fantastic authentic Italian food. Great staff, and very relaxed

Excellent service and good fun atmosphere thank you

Really good food! Lovely staff! Delicious! Will be coming back.

Great food and our waitress was very nice , we will definitely be going back for more lunchtime delights

Wow what an amazing place, great food, excellent service ! Definitely worth a visit and also make sure you check out the specials board.

By far, the best italian restaurant in town. So fresh, so cozy, so delicious. My 9 yr old says it is the best restaurant in London

Always a very enjoyable, Italian experience

We ate very well, staff friendly 🤩

Really great food and authentic Italian cuisine! I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the overall restaurant. The staff was very nice and helpful as well which is always great.

Great neighbourhood perennial favourite. Terrific service, good never lets you down. Daily specials always worth checking out,

A mixed picture, followed by quite a large bill. Two of us had a very good lunch and two of us did not. Lasagne was dry and the pasta was beyond al dente. The staff were friendly and dealt with the issue well, offering alternatives and not including dishes on the bill. The noise level was excessive though, so don't go there if you want to catch up and chat - as we did!

...we had a wonderful family lunch. My second visit. Both times first class. Good value, generous helpings. This time we sat outside in the sun. Inside is light, airy and develops a wonderful buzz as it fills.

Food and service very good staff a very helpful and accommodating, one of our party was delayed and they were very understanding and said don’t worry just come when he get here. Four of us had a long lazy lunch and the staff didn’t put pressure on us to go. Very enjoyable

Tudo gostoso! Ambiente bem cuidado, gostoso e agradável, boas opções para refeição e banheiro limpo. Almoçamos aqui numa terça-feira e foi uma ótima escolha.

Had our first visit to Briciole and it was very good. Nice atmosphere and a busy restaurant but plenty of space inside. Very Good menu and the meat starters were superb. Had pasta for the main meal which was also very good. Fully Recommended and great service.

Wonderful food. Today mackerel special and relaxed but efficient service.

The food was heartwarming, the staff were welcoming. Is a very pleasant experience overall.

We had a lovely meal at Briciole. We went for Sunday lunch and while it wasn't the busiest time of day for them, the service was attentive and discrete, the food was an authentic Italian experience and the ambiance took me right back to the Med! If you're looking for a good local Italain, this certainly fits the bill. Woudl definitely recommend and will definitely be goign again! Bravo! They also have a delicatessen selling authentic Italian produce which is also worth a visit!

I really do not want to say anymore about this place, it's all mine, I don't want to share!

A wonderful dining experience. An intimate ambiance and superb service. Will recommend to all.

A really excellent meal enjoyed by all 6 of us! As ever Briciole delivers.

We had a delicious dinner with incredible starters (ham, cheese, burrata, focaccia) and wonderful pasta. Would definitely recommend and thank you Mirko for your amazing service!

Food was delicious got the ragu... food came at a decent time waiters were friendly

Been going to this lovely bustling Italian for years. Always a favourite with my family. Wild boar ragu is excellent.
