Cacio e Pepe in Bexley

lovely restaurant the best food ever!!

Good but not perfect. We had a nice meal, but for the price some bits were just a bit disappointing. The pasta menu is very basic, hardly any ingredients in the pastas, mostly pasta with different simple sauces. Could do with adding some chicken or veg to some of them The pizzas were loved by the kids. The Calimari is advertised as fresh baby Calimari, so would expect tenticles, but it's simple Calimari rings. Half of the mussles shells were empty. The T-Bone steaks are not proper T-Bone as they had only meat on one side and served with a small piece of meat separately as if it was on other side and fat not rendered so hard to cut and grissle in places, so not best quality. Was cooked well though and none chewy bits nice. The desserts were nice but expensive for what they were. The staff are all lovely and so much fun. Except the larger guy, he came across a bit in a rush and rude at times.

We didn't have a booking, but they managed to fit us in. Service was friendly and in good time not rushed but not waiting too long either. The food was as good as ever. Will definitely be going back.

Had a great meal here Thursday night. Turned up around 2100 and it was still fairly busy. Friendly and helpful service. Food was really good. Would recommend the crab and mango starter. I had the nduja pizza, which as expected was quite oily but the pizza was well cooked with a crispy base so it held up well. Definitely intend to head back.

Great service from our waiter. Had a lovely Ragu and off-the-menu Calzone! Never disappoints, really enjoyed our meal last night!

I had my son‘s first birthday at this restaurant with over 20 guests and let me tell you something. It was the best experience I’ve ever had. We have gone to many restaurants in the past. Have many bookings for many different birthdays but nothing came as close to this When we arrived to the restaurant and we had told the staff that the rest of the guest will be late there were nothing but understanding the make sure to accommodate us and even though they had to come back 100 times because we was not ready there was always polite and we never felt like we was being rushed. We was looked after so well that I honestly forgot that we was in a restaurant and I felt like we had booked a private hosting room. The manager and owner of the restaurant was so incredibly lovely. They came over introduced himself and made sure that we knew if we needed anything we could go to them as well. The constant flow of drinks and food was amazing. We did not have to wait long for anything. There was no mistakes made on the order. My child was screaming the whole night yet they did not come and complain poor faces or have any attitude towards it in fact they were very understanding and sweet about it. All the food in itself was so amazing. I have never had a pizza that tasted so authentic as the pizza that was ordered that night for the table. The lobster linguine was divine. Everyone enjoyed their steak my brother-in-law who is actually a steak enthusiast said that it was the best steak kid ever had in his life and that says a lot. I really highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to have a lovely dinner whether it’s for a party of 10 or something intimate like a date night I recommend this place very very highly thank you so much to the owner manager the waitresses and the chef who that night stayed very late and looked after us very very very well. We are so absolutely pleased with the experience that we had, we are going to be sure to visit this place again and again and again in fact I think we might make it the official birthday restaurant of our son amazing service 10 out of 10 highly recommend please go here ignore those bad reviews. They are not real. I really Do not believe that those reviews are real according to the experience that I had which I must add was on a very busy night where the restaurant was clearly fully booked

Delicious food and lovely vibes ! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gian Franco was our waiter and he wa md extremely accommodating! The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you!

Rang last minute for a table and they got us in, it was our first time visiting this Italian and it was beautiful. The safe was so lovely and the food was amazing, we had the lobster pasta and it was honestly beautiful 😍. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning x

Food is amazing, staff are welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend 👌

Immaculate experience,very accommodating staff and delicious and beautifully presented food. A little local gem. We will come most definitely again.

A family group to celebrate a birthday. Both food and service were wonderful. Our group chose a variety of items from the menu, all were very tasty with generous portions. Recommended highly and we look forward to dining there again!

I recently dined at the restaurant, and while we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our food, Fabio, the manager, completely made up for it. His attentiveness and commitment to ensuring our experience was great really stood out. He personally checked in on us, offering sincere apologies and even went above and beyond to make things right. Thanks to Fabio's excellent customer service, our dinner turned out to be a fantastic experience despite the wait. Would definitely recommend, and hope to see Fabio again next time!

Just had a lovely meal, the service and ambience were great. Will definitely be coming back!

Wow what an amazing place thank you

I love this place! I’ve been here multiple times with friends and family and I enjoy it each today. Today, I was served by Gianfranco- absolutely great customer service and he was so lovely and friendly. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful food and great service always looked after by gianfranco always welcoming and friendly

Thank you Gianfranco & Team for a fabulous evening, great food, really good fun and such a lovely atmosphere enjoying all the birthday celebrations .. would highly recommend and will visit again soon Jennifer

Cacio e Pepe is a local treasure, delivering an authentic Italian dining experience that stands out in every way. From the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed, and our server, Gianfranco, set the tone for the evening with his charm and expertise. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his recommendations were spot-on. It felt like we were being guided through a true Italian culinary journey. The food at Cacio e Pepe is simply outstanding. Every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. We started with the burrata and prosciutto, a perfect harmony of creamy cheese and savory cured meat. The signature Cacio e Pepe pasta was perfection—simple yet bursting with flavor, with just the right amount of creamy pecorino and pepper. Gianfraco recommended the home made pizza cooked in their in house pizza oven - which was delicious. The service was seamless, with Gianfranco ensuring that every moment was enjoyable, but never rushed. His warmth, attentiveness, and passion for the restaurant made the experience even more special. Cacio e Pepe offers five-star food and five-star service, all in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for the perfect spot for an authentic Italian meal with exceptional service, ask for Gianfranco—you won’t be disappointed!

Popped into London with my son today and came to this beautiful Italian restaurant. I was greeted by the owner who is so nice and cheerful. We were served by Bianca who is a cheerful young lady with the best manners and was so helpful. She definitely needs an employee of the week badge!! And as for the food well let’s just say it’s been a very long time since I left a plate as clean as I just have. If you live here or are visiting here you’d be mad not to try the place!!!!

My first time at this wonderful Italian restaurant. But I certainly expect to be back! Very friendly, helpful and efficient waiting staff, incredibly good food (our party of six were all more than happy with everything we ate) and other than the loud looping Witney Houston music all evening, the atmosphere was good. Although a little on the pricy side I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service from gianfranco, lovely food and nice atmosphere

This is our first visit, and it did not disappoint. Amazing food and even better service, thank you Hugo for making our evening even more enjoyable.

We had a beautiful meal here, we come here all the time and the food never fails to please us! Hugo our waiter was more than helpful, the service was amazing!! Definitely recommend :)

One of the best restaurants in the area! Great authentic Italian food. A small Italian run family restaurant with excellent friendly service and hospitality. You will need to phone to book a table as it’s very popular even on weekdays. Outside tables are available. All food is made fresh to order, you can even watch the pizzas being made. Extensive wine list and beer on draught. Highly recommend !

This restaurant is just brilliant, hard to believe ur not holiday tbh and the food’s great

Good Italian like pizza. Expensive for the area - 33 sth each for a pizza, a couple of sides and soft drinks. MUST specify that it's not truffle, but truffle flavoured oil.

Really lovely workers, some of the nicest people alive! The service was amazing. The food was rich and full of flavour. I recommend the tagliatelle e fungi, really creamy and delicious.

Visited for a special occasion and absolutely fantastic food, friendly and attentive service and great atmosphere.

Staff were Really accommodating and food was great. What more can you ask for?

This is how restaurants should be. Simple and straightforward service, fresh well cooked food and lots of happy customers chatting away. Certainly feels more like being in Italy than the UK. Even sat out and had dinner on their terrace.

Amazing restaurant! The food is excellent and the service very welcoming. I super recommend it!!

Lovely food and waiting staff. Wine was perfect and really cold too. Lovely touch singing Happy Birthday to my mum in law. We will be back.

Love coming to this place , we always walk in and they always fitting us in . The food and the environment are such a beautiful The pizza chef always let my little one make his own pizza The manager ( Abbie) is such a lovely lady, always treat us do nice , 5 rating star for her Thank you 🙏

My local! Fabulous restaurant. Friendly. Food is smashing. Menu plus daily specials. Occasionally you may wait a bit for food to get to the table - but it is cooked fresh to order and always comes up piping hot. Always packed when I go! Excellent ⭐️

Adrian and his team couldn't have done anymore for us. Would highly recommend 👌

A bit noisy as football was on. Very generous potions

Great food, great service. Highly recommend.

Excellent service, pizza, and calamaries were absolutely delicious!

Excellent authentic Italian food. Risottos, Salads & Pizzas are delicious.

We visited yesterday evening after hearing it had changed hands and I'm very glad that we did. I had the Octopus to start followed by the Salmon Tagliatelle, both of which were fantastic. My fiancé was equally as pleased with her dishes and all were washed down with a lovely house red wine. Previously there have been mixed reviews of this restaurant and I agree that the quality had been a bit 'hit and miss' in the past, but the new owner, Adrian, has really taken the bull by the horns with a new chef and a paired down menu, so I'd strongly encourage previously disgruntled customers to give it another go. We were even discussing going back tonight...

Favourite restaurant in London! Order the Quattro Formaci pizza!

Food is absolutely stunning here. For living so local we haven't ever popped in for a sit down meal and we are truly wondering why we haven't before! Great portions, great staff, lovely authentic food and Gian Franco was amazing treating our nan to a birthday tiramisu!

My wife and I were in the area and decided to google for an Italian restaurant. We got there at 5pm on a Sunday without having booked. The friendly staff(Gianfranco) showed us around and gave us a cosy little table. The atmosphere was with Italian, the food was simply amazing. We had 3 starters to share, a bottle of wine, sparkling water, our mains were so fresh. The carbonara was al dente and the flavours were bursting out, the Quattro Formaggio(four cheese freshly made stone baked pizza) was out of this world. We had a Panna Cotta and a limoncello was offered to us from the owner. The owner was a delightful Italian man and we couldn’t fault them on anything. It was value for money considering we had so much food between us (£40-£50 per person).

I recently dined at Cacio e Pepe and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance that transported us straight to Italy. The menu is a culinary masterpiece, featuring an array of authentic Italian dishes made with the freshest ingredients. I started with the bruschetta, which was perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I opted for the handmade pasta, which was cooked to perfection and paired with a rich, flavorful sauce. Every bite was a delight! The wine selection is impressive, offering a wide variety of Italian wines that complement the menu beautifully. The staff was knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. To top it all off, the dessert was simply divine. The Pistachio cheese cake was light, creamy, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Overall, Cacio e Pepe exceeded all my expectations. The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience. Five stars all the way!

Excellent little restaurant in Sidcup. Friendly service, large portions. Came here for a birthday last night & the staff were super accommodating.

We booked for a party of 10 some weeks in advance for a surprise dinner. At every turn the staff were incredibly helpful and catered for our every need. The food far exceeded all of our expectations.. The service was spot on. A really great find, cant wait to return...Thanks guys.

We decided to change the time of our booking, they were very happy to do that for us. We were running late by 10 mins so had to phone to let them know, after we arrived we noticed that somebody had scratched our name off the list. After a convo with the waiter they found us a table and to be honest was probably the best one in the restaurant, we sat right next to the pizza kitchen and had a view of the chef preparing and cooking. 5/5 Food was amazing would definitely recommend the special ravioli. Enjoy to anyone who would like to visit.

If you know italian cuisine, this isn't it. Booked a table here due to the high ratings but not sure why. The restaurant was packed and we were put in the back where there's no walls and even though there's heating it's not enough as every time someone opens the door the heat escapes. They've packed every inch of the restaurant with tables so we had to pass everything to the waiter as he couldn't get to the table because we were so crammed in. Food was below standard as the pizza cheese was oily and they used the pepperoni as the ones in the ones on frozen pizzas. Lasagne was stodgy and definitely not authentic. Its a shame as there's potential.

First visit was impeccable, but the second visit was a let down.

Great local restaurant. Big portions, amazing food

We had a great time, went there for my Dad’s birthday. It is not cheap, however, well worth it!

I’m not sure we will ever go back here. Suffered severe food poisoning after dining last Friday evening. Still suffering!

We had a family meal here Saturday night the food and service was excellent and the price very reasonable we will be coming back definitely

Lovely Friday night meal. Food was good quality and fairly priced.

Love it here. Always great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere, even when it's really busy. Squid is delicious, pizzas are amazing. Service is always great, friendly, and authentically Italian. Well worth a visit if you like good authentic Italian food and drink.

Cacio E Pepe is a standout, not just for its authentic, delicious Italian cuisine but also for the exceptional warmth of its staff. Our waitress treated us more like familiar friends than customers, making us feel incredibly welcome. The atmosphere is cozy, and the food, especially their signature Cacio e Pepe, is a slice of Italy in Sidcup. Highly recommended for those seeking both culinary delights and a friendly, welcoming experience.

Amazing food and service! Highly recommended! Big thanks for Kian and Rita for making our dining experience one to remember and hopefully repeat multiple times in the near future!

Amazing food! Great atmosphere and server Kian was brilliant, so warm and welcoming ! Had a great time !

Wonderful food, excellent service. Just walked in and were made very welcome even though they were quite busy. Just had some bread and olives whilst we waited for our mains which were served soon after. The food looked as good as it tasted. We were able to park in a side road nearby so only a short walk to the restaurant. About £30+ per head for mains, dessert and drinks in Jan 24. Will be back.

Too much chilli, inedible because of that! Escalope overcooked and soggy. Service and food extremely slow. Bread arrived after we ate starters lol. Panna cotta no vanilla, like eating a protein yogurt horrible. Prawns overcooked. Shame as I had heard good reports about the place Wont be returning or two adjacent tables wont either. Overpriced.

A loud birthday party, one meal was nearly cold, initial service was slow to order and provide drinks.

All I can say is amazing. Booked by family as we were coming from a way away and it was amazing from start to finish. There was 19 of us and we got the small conservatory area to ourselves which was warm and cosy and enough space for us all. The food was the best I have had for a very long time. The service was second to non nothing was too much trouble and very attentive. It’s such a shame I don’t live closer or I would be there all the time. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much

Lovely place to eat and spend time with family , great food /pizza , good wine 🍷, a nice atmosphere .Recommended with pleasure.

Lovely local resturant. Gets busy so best to book ahead.

Venue is very nice. Staff service was excellent. Starters and main courses were very good, deserts not so great, the panna cotta was rubbery and the sauce too sweet and liquidy. Overall a great restaurant

First time visiting , really welcome atmosphere, lovely food and a free drink at the end Friendly staff.

Brilliant, totally recommend!!!

Lovely meal at cacio last night. Tasty food and great service

Amazing little gem, food and atmosphere was amazing and so was our lovely charming waiter Kian😊 Thankyou for looking after us tonight, we will definately will be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoy every moment to this cozy authentic Italian restaurant, the food is always 100% and the service cannot be faulted, Gianfranco who served us on our last 2 visits really made us feel welcome and was very attentive. Safe to say its our favourite local Italian.

A lovely find! Great service, good wine and great menu

Such a beautiful local restaurant and the loveliest staff. Special thank you to Lydia for being such an amazing waitress

Everything amazing here and staff so great when my 2 little girls eat here also. Highly recommend!

Been here 3x now and it gets better every time, tonight we were served by Gianfranco he was amazing and attentive. Food was beautiful x Luigi always welcomes lovely also x

We had a lovely evening at cacio e pepe. The food was some of the best I've had in the UK. The portions are generous and delicious. Lovely staff looked after us and we liked that there was no attempt to rush us. The only request would be to have more choice of rosé and more bottles in the cheaper range. Now our official favourite local restaurant.

Good service and the food it’s excellent service is great too and the staff are excellent 2

First time visiting here. Fabulous food, excellent service and great staff . We’ll worth making a booking.

The best pizza in town. Friendly and nice staff

Great friendly service Fantastic food I had calzone omg it was to die for and iv had a few in my life time and this was the best Definitely come again Thanks for a great evening Jason

The food was beautiful, the atmosphere was nice, and great service! Great service particularly from the waiter Kian

Incredible food, excellent portion sizes. The service was fantastic, we had Gian Franco as our waiter and he was friendly and quick with our orders. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious salad but the espresso was a bit on the tiny side.

Great place in Sidcup for an Italian meal. Our first visit on Friday night and the place was buzzing. We were made to feel very welcome, food was great quality, portions very generous and service was really friendly. Highly recommended and we'll definitely go back.

One of the tastiest places ever

Really good food and wine. Was a little bit too cramped inside but really enjoyed everything else.

Fantastic meal. The waiter Gianfranco was really friendly and polite.

Beautiful service, beautiful food, we were served by Gianfranco and Abbey and all was brilliant!

Really nice local gem. Food was so fresh and delicious, excellent portion sizes, very good prices, welcoming and staff(thank you Adrian and the team). Highly recommend if you live in the area/passing by.

This place is absolutely amazing, the staff are so helpful and will do their upmost to help you, the food is outstanding 🙌🏻

Nice place, really nice food and great staff. Will be returning.

This local Italian restaurant is a hidden gem! The warm and friendly staff, cozy ambiance, and incredible menu make it a must-visit. From traditional dishes to creative culinary creations, each bite is bursting with authentic flavors. Impeccable service and attention to detail make for an exceptional dining experience. Don't miss out on this amazing Italian restaurant!

Despite having a confirmed email booking which they denied, they tried to move us to an outside table! They only gave us 90 mins to eat and leave. Please they are not a London Restaurant!! Never again - customer s service is awful - all about money for them! Don’t bother going far better Italian restaurants near by

Had a late lunch/early dinner on Saturday, decided to try in a whim. So pleased we did. The food was really good, the service great. We will be returning.

Went to this restaurant the other night, had a beautiful evening. Our server Booki was especially amazing. She was extremely helpful, attentive and really funny. The food itself was above expectation. Definitely returning, as both the food and the service did not disappoint. Recommend to all!

Fantastic food and super friendly service

Lovely food, good wine and friendly staff!

I have come to this restaurant in the past, but I think something has changed now. Too much use of burnt garlic. The dishes didn't seem very well prepared and the waiting times were too long. (I won't go into the Italian nature of the restaurant)

Really love it here and right next door to where I work, perfect!

Waiter panicked when I asked about a dish because of a food intolerance (not allergen) so could do with better training there but otherwise fantastic food and attentive staff
