I've been served by Francesco and let me tell you.. I worked in hospitality for 12 years, I was manager of restaurants and this guy is an asset!!! The best thoughtful waiter I've ever seen, I would have offered him a job if I still was in the business! He is the best! Kind, respectful, friendly he's got it all! Well done Francesco! I wish you the best!

We were on a business trip to London with a large group. I did my best to find a nice restaurant that would be good for such a large group. Italian is always a good idea, so I ended up at Cecconi's pizza bar. The email contact was already very nice because we had someone with a number of allergies. Once in London we had eaten at Gordon Ramsays Street burger the day before and that was disappointing. I was a bit afraid that this would also be the case here because Cecconi's also has a number of restaurants. I hoped that it would not be such a 'too-commercial-money-factory-with-medium-food'. But nothing could be further from the truth, the service was super friendly, they thought along with you, the food was fresh and super tasty, they were attentive to whether people still had a drink and the place was completely full. Thank you for the nice evening we had with you. If we come back to London, we definetly will come by!

Cecconi’s – A Bustling Soho Staple with Good Food Our second stop on the London secret food tour was Cecconi’s, and while the pizza looked amazing, we decided to try the truffle arancini instead. These little bites were filled with gooey fontina cheese and came in a serving of four. They were good, but I think the truffle flavor was a bit overwhelming after a while, even for a truffle lover like me. The restaurant was packed with locals, which is always a good sign. However, the busy atmosphere meant the staff seemed overwhelmed. There was a lot of commotion, and at one point, a waitress dropped and broke a few plates nearby. Overall, the food was good, and Cecconi’s is clearly a popular spot, but the service and ambiance didn’t quite meet the high expectations. It’s a solid place, but for me, not quite a 5-star experience.

Cecconi’s pizza bar draws large crowds, creating a bustling and lively atmosphere. However, the popularity seems to stem more from its central location than the quality of its food. While the menu offers a wide variety of classic Italian pizzas and dishes, the execution falls short of expectations. The pizzas are serviceable but lack the authentic flavors and craftsmanship that one hopes for in an Italian restaurant. The crusts are underwhelming, and the toppings, while abundant, don’t quite come together to create a memorable dining experience. Other menu items follow a similar pattern of mediocrity. The overcrowded dining area can make the experience feel rushed and hectic, with limited space and long wait times for a table. Despite the energetic vibe, the restaurant struggles to maintain the quality of service during peak hours. Cecconi’s might satisfy a craving for a quick bite in a lively setting, but those seeking a true taste of Italy might be left wanting more.

We went for a quick bit before the theatre, booked for 5.30pm, was seen to our table, then 10 minutes later we were given menus, and told we needed to give the table back at 5.30pm as it was booked !!!! This was 5.40pm !!! we said yes it's booked by us? we ordered drinks and some time after had to ask for our order to be taken. It was gone at 6.30pm and we still had no food, we asked several times if the order was coming and were told it was on its way, well it was not. I asked for the manager who never came to the table. I'm sorry but over an hour to get a plain pizza. I made a complaint, the manager still did not come, but we were told that they would take £10 off the bill. When the Bill came at 6.50pm , they had added a 13.5% service charge, what a cheek, i asked for that to be taken off, which they did, but the waitress was very grumpy. Such poor service and a bad attitude from all the staff. But the way the food was ok.

The first time I came with a friend of mine I was generally disappointed, but I wanted to give it another chance after seeing some positive reviews that intrigued me. I had the best fresh pasta amatriciana of my life and my partner had the creamiest tonarelli caccio pepe. Great selection of drafts in an Italian restaurant which I think is one of the best in London. Very kind and fast service. Don't miss the tomato meatballs and the dessert tirramisu (recommended to share). The food was of a higher quality and not even comparable to my first time. Happy to return next time!

Anche le insalate come la Chopped, tomatoes, avocado, olives, chickpeas ti fanno sentire in Italia. Non mancano le pizze tra cui la fragrante Fennel sausage, friarielli e fior di latte accompagnate da buonissime birre alla spina o da selezionati vini rossi e bianchi. Infine, i dolci, in particolare l’incredibile Cheesecake, berry compote e il buonissimo Tiramisù. L’atmosfera è ravvivata da musica (con la presenza di un DJ il venerdì). Prezzi assolutamente nella media. Insomma, una vera e propria garanzia in Soho. Assolutamente da consigliare !!

Plain and simply the front of house staff were rude and unfriendly. Our waitress was trying her best but was clearly terrified of the shift manager. All customers were treated as a hassle as soon as they walked in. Average food, tinged by the negative attitude. Felt rushed, my plate was taken seconds after I finished whilst my wife was still eating. Plenty of much better places to eat in Soho, I'd suggest Little Italy where you get treated with respect, a warm welcome and excellent attentive service.

TLDR: touch nothing but the pizza. I wish I'd read the reviews before eating at this place. The atmosphere and decor are good, the service is nothing special, but hardly anything to complain about. The pizzas looked really really good. But we ordered pasta. I'm pretty sure I was given supermarket-grade dry Fusili topped with tinned mushrooms and very little, if anything, else. The other dish was Ravioli, which came swimming in butter. The Affogato was served as a single scoop of ice cream in a metal dish that would have been more suited to a school canteen. The coffee shot was pretty tasty, though!

Avoid! Waited 20 mins for the drinks After 50 minutes of wait, we chased the pizzas and were told they would be with us immediately. After 10 minutes (more than 60 mins after we arrived) the pizzas were still not in sight so we decided to leave. There was no apology, no attempt to make up for the wait, and we were asked to pay £50 even though we hadn’t had most of the wine. Went to cinquecento around the corner and had a much better pizza and experience. UPDATE: we emailed the address provided and no one responded after 10 days

Booked for my birthday dinner as I had been a few times and like the vibe and the food. However on this occasion the service was atrocious, not only did it take three hours to get through the meal (even with a set menu and the restaurant wasn’t full), the drinks took 30 mins to come, and our waitress was rude. The only pro I would say is that the amount of food on the set menu is loads, so value for money is great, and it was all very yummy, I won’t be going back, especially not for a celebration.

Avoid at all cost! I went there with my husband; we waited for more than 60 minutes for a pizza (that never came).When we asked the waiter about our order, he said “it was coming”, but this was not true. We had to leave to come back to work so we could not have our pizzas. We went home without dinner and charged around 50 pounds for the wine. The waiter also did not apologize/ tried to make up for the situation.

Style over substance sums up this place. I have visited twice in 2 months & probably won't go back again. Food is ok, I expect better for the price. Drinks were good. Service is where this place lets itself down badly. I can't tell if the root cause is too many tables in a tight space or the staff training required. Basically, it's a constant challenege to get service and the space on the table is very limited. They do act like it's a pain to serve you.

Tried to eat here after a show on the west end only to have our reservation canceled because “the kitchen closes at 10:30.” We book the reservation because their website said they served food until midnight.

Sat at an outdoor table on Thursday afternoon 18 April. After being there for 20 minutes without anyone bothering to come outside, I went indoors and ordered at the bar. I explained I would not be paying a service charge, as I had not received any. The barman to his credit did remove service charge, but no apology about the dreadful lack of service.The dining room was not even that busy, which really annoyed me. Today, Saturday 20 April I returned, hoping in vain that things might have improved. No such luck. Sat outside again but after 10 minutes, still nobody came out. Decided to cut my losses and went to another restaurant instead. I will not be coming back anytime soon....

We found the staff to be attentive but the food is not the best all round. We did address some issues when two of us had food poisoning from a crab linguini but Soho House deemed it unlikely and that we had not provided a poo sample to prove it!!! Not sure Deliveroo would appreciate that kind of delivery. We should have complained on the night as the dish was fishy in smell and sludgy in presentation. Having eaten in a few of their establishments I would say food is good marketing over quality.

Food was okay but service was awful. When seated we waited 15 minutes to even order drinks. We were in there for 2 and a half hours for a 2 course meal as service was just so slow. At the end of our main course our plates weren't taken away, we weren't approached and asked if we wanted dessert/another drink/the bill. About 20 mins after finishing the main course we asked for the bill which did not come. We then asked a different member of staff about 15 mins later for the bill again which they eventually gave us. After getting the bill it then took another 10 mins to pay despite all sitting in our coats waiting. Overall, seemed understaffed so may not entirely be their fault but the ones that were there didn't seem to care about us and tended to ignore us.

6 of us came here for a birthday dinner. We all had lots of starters to share which were fantastic and the pizza was one of the best you'll in London (the price was very good too). The service on the other hand was awful. Being asked what we'd like to order to eat without being given a menu, one of our party didn't have their meal and it wasn't until the CHEF came and asked, it was sorted. The thing that annoyed us most of all was the staff constantly trying to take our plates while we were still eating. This happened on four occasions. We felt very rushed even though there were plenty of empty tables.

We were greeted by a very rude woman at the front who did not even say hello - she rushed us to our table and said ‘you have an hour and a half.’ And that’s it! The margarita pizza was unbelievably bland and soaking wet, I never complain or send things back but it was completely inedible. The waitress looking after us was very nice and offered to replace it but I had completely lost my appetite so just asked for it to be taken off the bill. The bill came and it was still on there so after some back and forth they finally removed the price of the pizza. The olives and drinks were nice. Even with the pizza taken off the bill was still over £50 - Not worth the price at all.

The food was the only good thing about our visit here. Too many people all in one section where tables have been squeezed in. The in-house DJ which would have been perfect for having drinks, but as it was a restaurant having food it was too loud and too much. The service was terrible. Snapped at when taking your order and having to get up and pay the maître d' as our waiter was not available to have desserts or even pay our bill.

The service was extremely slow, and the staff seemed disinterested in both their work and the customers. The pizza was mediocre, but nothing more.

I had a dinner there with colleagues, we didn’t have reservations, but the staff was able to find us a table right away. Food was really tasty and the service was good. We have waited just a few minutes although the entire restaurant was full. Staff is really friendly and polite and can give you a good recommendation if you are not sure what you want. I can personally recommend the pizza options. It can become a bit noisy during the dining time but it’s ok.

Honestly not my favourite Italian place in central. It's busy, vibey and well decorated, so the atmosphere is good, but it was so loud on a Thursday that we could barely hear each other at our table. The staff were nice and attentive but we had the set menu and the food was uncreative and boring. I also had the soggiest pizza I've ever seen. Unfortunately I've seen better elsewhere so I wouldn't go back.

Very busy, felt like we were in the midst of chaos. We also went for my brothers birthday, which we wrote on the notes prior and this was not acknowledged. We felt rushed and the service was below par, in addition to this the food was very overrated and too expensive for what it was. Wish we knew before we came, wouldn’t return.

Extreamley dissapointed. Very bad service and organization. Of course, we won’t come back. No one attended us and despite having a reserve, they didn’t offer us a table on time.

Fantastic vibe, wonderfully mixed, representing so much of what London is. Great value wine list. Most bottles under 40 quid. Excellent pizza and always lovely service.

Fabulous pizzas (as you’d expect at £20 each!) Definitely worth a visit

Incredibly average which is surprising considering the name. The welcome was nothing to write home about. Our server’s first words to us were ‘you ready?’ White wine was warm and they couldn’t provide anything chilled. No napkins on table. Main course salad was served in a bowl. Chicken was not freshly cooked and just dumped on top. I’m no expert in focaccia but if it was focaccia it looked and tasted like pizza dough just cut up . Pizzas were apparently good and our server got better. I genuinely hate giving bad reviews but owners, if you’re reading this, you need to up your game as I’ll never visit again and wouldn’t recommend anyone else to.

The food is not good at all. The pizza has no cheese. The desert is uneatable. I am sorry but this is the worst restaurant in London.

Visited on the 21st December and had a terrible time. The female manager was rude and unprofessional. The food was of poor quality & drinks ordered never arrived (but were still on the bill). Used to be one of my favourite restaurants which sadly seems to have gone down hill. Will not be returning.

No great at all. Would suit someone maybe going to the theatre that wants basic food. However there are so many others places to choose from that are better value. Food was below average with overpriced appetisers and very small portions of main course. To give you an idea. Pasta is served on a side plate sized portion which consisted of 6 mouthfuls. I had the carbonara which was nothing to be excited about. The atmosphere was not pleasant, music was so loud, most people were shouting across the tables which made it feel strained and not enjoyable. Its a tightly packed restaurant with not much room between tables, so quote claustrophobic, particularly as its quite dark in there. To finalize, once you've paid the bill they want you out and continue to keep popping back to emphasize this. If you haven't moved by the time they want you to, they will quite happily come and tell you to make a move. We had only finished the meal by around 15 mins when this happened and drinks were still being finished.

I visited on what looked like a very busy lunchtime, with no tables available. I was assigned a sit by the bar. Service was professional although it lacked warmth. The pizza was ok, although slightly burned underneath. I was no asked if everything was fine with my food or offered to order an other drink. Overall ok, but lots of space for improvement.

I was at the Express Pizzeria on Wednesday the 16th with a friend and a waitress named Alini was rude to me, I was impressed by how a waitress could treat customers like that and still tell me not to go back there.
