Me encanta! La comida es muy deliciosa y la decoración del restaurante es muy agradable y cálido. No me gustó mucho la pizza pero no está mal.

E sicuramente il numero uno a Londra è imbattibile, bello anche come festeggiamo il compleanno ed è bello anche l'arredo buonissima la pizza

Dette sted er FANTASTISK. Fuldstændig uroligt. Når man står udenfor restauranten ser den ikke ud af meget, men så træder du ind i en fantastisk atmosfære. Virkelig flot og speciel. Maden er vanvittig god, og kan klar anbefale pizza eller pasta der. Deres drinks er virkelig gode, prøv dem endelig. Derudover fantastisk dessert, flot præsentation og god smag. Jeg vil anbefale alle at tage herhen og spise. Vi fik derudover også en rigtig god betjening. Smilende og rare tjenere.

I truly appreciate the enchanting atmosphere of the restaurant. Jacopo was exceptional!

Food was great, awesome interior design!

The interior is lovely and perfect for Instagram enthusiasts. Reservations are a must, as the place is nearly always fully booked. Despite the high number of guests, the service is impressively quick. The food is delicious; we particularly enjoyed the truffle pizza and mushroom pasta.

Whenever we’re in London, we absolutely MUST come to Circolo Popolare. There’s always something new on the menu to try!

Italian food would never betray you! Love it😍😍😍

Very cool place. The pizzas taste very good and try the homemade lemonade! Had the lemon pie for dessert, which was not to be missed. Friendly staff, very hospitable. Roberto did his best to please us.

Wonderful experience and great vibe!

Splendid restaurant, the staff are welcoming and adorable and if you come as part of a birthday dinner, we offer you a little greeting card 🥰 However, I found that the portion of my dish was not as generous as I expected but I still ate well, the dessert disappointed me because I did not imagine it in this form and it It was too sweet unfortunately even though I really like sweet things.. In addition, the service charges are quite substantial (£4 on a bill of more than £30 so €5 and some on top of your bill)

The place inside is beautiful and very scenic and creates a perfect atmosphere for a dinner. I could only try the pizza but I really liked it.

CHEEKY ATTEMPTS TO CHARGE ADDITIONAL MONEY. Was very shocked to see that on top of the 12.5% service charge, you are invited to leave a tip. I did not immediately assume service was included so was about to add a tip and then I saw that I had already paid £17 for what was a pretty standard meal. Felt a bit cheeky. We were told to use an QR code to pay and looked over the bill and it all seemed ok. When I looked at the VAT receipt after we left, I noticed a £2.89 charge to use the payment system which we were not informed about. Again, quite cheeky.

Staff try to ask you to pay via the QR code on the table, by using this service, you need to pay extra £0.99 per transaction, which is ridiculous

one of the most well thought out restaurant interiors there is. lighting and decorations make for a truly unique dining experience. the service was wonderful. our waitress was patient and welcoming. it can be intimidating to dine at high-end places, but she made us feel right at home. the food was as expected, the only downside is there is so much on the menu, it was too hard to choose what to eat...

Small portions, but very good food!

This was hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is gorgeous and lush. The food amazing. Roberto, our server, was wonderful and made incredible recommendations. I can’t wait to return here!

Very busy even on a Monday evening! Food was great!

Very good food and a pleasant atmosphere - the staff were service oriented, even if they seemed a little tired late in the evening.

Everything was just perfect. I‘d come all the way from Germany any time again.

Beautiful place, amazing food and lovely service. Definitely a must visit

Perfect as always, thanks for Stephanie(sorry for any misspelling) for the great service.

Food is very mid, but service is super friendly.

It's a shame that they don't have gluten-free food with the number of intolerant people nowadays, apart from the fact that it's a totally easy thing to do, I mean, it's due to lack of interest.

It’s been 12 years since I’ve been back to this side of the globe and I must say, best welcome return to fine Italian cuisine in a LONG time! 🤌🏾

Quality Italian food, incredible atmosphere and extraordinary service. We will return ❤️

The service really made our evening enjoyable. In busy central London restaurants I often worry about service, however dined here on a busy Saturday evening and we were taken great care of. Thank you for a great night!

Food was great, service was great. Big thanks to Roberto

Very good! Roberto served us great!

Delicious food, had to make a reservation well in advance but it was definitely worth it!

Circolo Popolare is an experience you won’t forget. From the moment you walk in, the stunning decor grabs your attention, but it’s the food and service that really steal the show. We started with the burrata with tomatoes, and it was incredible creamy, fresh burrata paired with sweet, juicy tomatoes that just hit the spot. The bruschetta with mushrooms was packed with rich, earthy flavors on perfectly crispy bread. For mains, the truffle pasta was indulgent and full of flavor, while the crab pasta brought a fresh, vibrant balance. Both were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The staff were amazing so knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. They walked us through each dish, explaining how it’s made and where the ingredients come from. It added such a personal touch to the meal. Circolo Popolare isn’t just dinner it’s an experience. If you’re looking for great food, incredible atmosphere, and service that makes you feel special, you need to go. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic atmosphere, very kind staff and good food. One of the must see places in London. We had a great afternoon! Thank you!

Everything was amazing - thanks Jason!!!

I have to say the atmosphere is great, the calamari skewers. We ate spaghetti carbonara, napolitan pizza, lemon pie on the bottom, cheecake dessert on top and a banana split. It was very nice. The prices are very reasonable. If you are looking for a good meal in London, you will pay these prices.

Amazing dinner! Thank you Jason!

Food tastes amazing, and the service is great. The food is very rich and creamy.

Amazing lunch for my birthday on NYE..made a booking online. Amazing ambiance, friendly staff and good food!

Guiseppe is a wondermal man and deserves a pay rise

Great food and service. Would definitely come back.

As a Sicilian, I’m so glad I spent an evening here for dinner. What a wonderful experience - everything was delicious and exactly like I expected it would be. The tiramisu was exactly like my Nonna’s❤️ we showed up as walk-ins at 9:25 and waited until 9:45 for a table to open up so I’d recommend reservations if you have a schedule to keep. Bravo, Circolo!

Beautiful place, quick service and delicious and copious food- what more should we ask for?

The atmosphere here is of course very nice and cozy, actually almost festive. But don't expect high-quality service or refined dishes. The dishes are quite heavy; in terms of pasta, for example (with creamy sauce, lots of cheese, etc.) and the lemon pie, for example, contains a thick layer of protein of at least 10 cm. This is really too much. You'd be rolling out the door. I ordered a steak. It turned out that there was no garnish included. Pretty crazy. And it's really strange that the waiter doesn't mention this and then of course asks if I want to order something to go with it. No, the service is mainly concerned with getting everyone to eat as quickly as possible within 1.5 hours. There is no such thing as a pleasant personal chat. And when we were done and wanted the bill, after looking around for about 5 minutes, there was still no one to notice us, so we put on our coats and went to the bar to ask if we could pay. But hey, it really was a nice evening. But hyped.

Just perfect! Oasis in London gastronomy!! Thank you very much Alessia!!!

Everything great! The waiters were very friendly, especially Jason.

Noa said Jason, very good service, delicious food 😊

Jason served us, everything was great. Very good service and good food.

Ryan was such a kind and charismatic waiter! He was very attentive and we couldn’t have been happier with his service.

Try to book from 1 week for 6 people for the end of December 28 the page is crash with error and the number of the page is a automatic voice registed … sent email too never received a reply. At list I not put it the info of my card and payed 120£ on deposit … in 2024 is not how need be on the market this company the same issue with the page of booking on AVE MARIO …. But on Ave Mario the deposit payment work … LOL

The service was bad and food - mediocre. P.S.2 ladies at the reception desk were rude and arrogant.

Beautiful restaurant, great place to enjoy Italian food. Friendly service. Just perfect.

Excellent place to enjoy, Delighted with the decoration,😍 A truly delicious pizza. And excellent service, thank you for the excellent attention of Laura and Marco who made me feel at home.💯💪🏻

Amazing service from Roberto, he made us feel really welcome !! We would come back just for him.

The design of the place is really good but the food was average. Cacio e pepe was a disappointment, very watery without flavour.

Best Italian restaurant in London, I highly recommend it.

Absolutely 100% uninteresting. If you wanna go out and take nice pictures, this is the place for you. If you actually care about food and having a nice quiet dinner, go somewhere else. Filled with stupid Insta-lovers. The food was not bad, but not anything special either. Will never go back. Highly overrated

Gabi was our Alicia - wonderful!

Best waitress ever; very nice and beautiful girl❤️

I like the place a lot!! Great atmospher & service. Pizza and tiramisu were very tasty.Highly recomended

Everything is perfect, the food, the service, the place, OH! There's no better Italian food in London better than here. But there is something even more especial. Carmela and Rashad! The sweetest girl and the kindest guy eeeeever! They made everything even better for us!

Perfect Italian restaurant !perfect quality !and perfect service !incredible place

I had a lovely time. Stunning venue. Junaid was really helpful and had great recommendations. Thank you!

Great Ambiance and Atmosphere. One of the really good Margarita Pizza and Truffle Pasta we had in time.

I was very pleased with the experience and the friendly staff. One worker named Junaid stood out the most as he was very charming and knew a lot about the different selections of wine. Would definitely come again.

Very nice food staff were really lovely , especially Junaid. would definitely visit again

We were wonderfully looked after by Rashad, which made the experience very worthwhile. The pizza doesn't lose to the natural fermentation pizzas we have in Brazil, but the pasta was divine. The Tiramisu was also one of the best I've ever eaten. On top of that, the decor is beautiful, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff are very attentive to all our needs. It's worth coming!

Restaurant with a very peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. We were served by Gabi who was very friendly and gave us dish recommendations.

I was attended by Gaby! Very friendly. Eating is wonderful. I recommend.

I really liked Gabi! I highly recommend it!

Attended by Gabi! Very good!! 🤗

Wonderful food, and exceptional service. Especially Gabby who made us feel at home. 🤩

Very good service by Gabi🤩 Good food and very cozy premises.

Delicious pizza, great tiramisu, thanks Rashad for professional service

Cozy, atmospheric and delicious!

Great food, great service, great drinks and great ambience. Alessia was our waitress and she gave great recommendations and was very warm, fun and accommodating! I would recommend everything with truffle as that's what we ate...so amazing. Gutted I was too full for the dessert but will try profiteroles next time. Thanks for a great experience, ciao x

A great place and a great service from the restaurant manager, Maria. Definitely recommend!

I had an exceptional dining experience, thanks in large part to Rashad, our attentive waiter. His recommendation for the wine was absolutely spot on and perfectly complemented the meal. The truffle pasta was an absolute standout—rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. To top it all off, the tiramisu dessert was a delightful ending to an already incredible meal. Rashad’s service, coupled with the outstanding food, made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is very lovely and the ambience stunning. We had truffle pasta and tiramisú and they were one of the best we have ever tried! Our waiter, Rashad, made our experience quite special. Will definitely come back!

Took awhile for a table to be available even when I already booked in advance

I love this restaurant I had this delicious food and the service is so great Thanks to Rashad! (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

Everything was amazing ! You have to visit this restaurant !

Beautiful restaurant, staff very attentive, food was delicious, highly recommended

It was something pending that every time we come to London we have to try it due to lack of time, and we have finally tried it. Overall it is a place that has its charm, the decoration is overwhelming but it is what makes this place special. A little crowded and dining with those next to you, since the separation between tables is about 10 cm, but it is not something that mattered to us, since we are used to it. If you want to go romantic and alone, then no, but to have a good time it's fantastic. Each waiter has their sector and the one we had was actually quite fast and attentive (I think her name was Alessia/Alexia...). We just had the hallway table, with all the traffic, but we were pretty good. The food, the truth is that what we liked the most was the pasta (Mafaldine al tartufo) and the mortadella pizza is very good. As a starter we ordered a burrata with a tomato base that was exquisite. Drinking a Valpolicella wine for more than £40 in 2 glasses of beer is not ideal, they did not treat that detail very well, when they gave those next door glasses of white wine for a sparkling water. The Tiramisu failed us a little, which was not because it was not good, but rather how they served it, the plate and the portion...they should improve on that, because the waiter came with a large platter with the tiramisu, he put a small bowl on top of it and his own pulse with the dish raised and with a spoon he tore off the tiramisu to put it in the glass in 3 times...he did not give us a good presence or a correct way of serving. The shame is that in the end with the issue of paying the way was a little twisted, since they make you pay through a QR code that you already have on the table, in which in addition to the fees since you pay normally, They charge you £2 more for the use of that application...it seems to me like a scam towards those who already pay for the service. Of course we no longer leave the tip through that application because it seemed too much to us. To try it once is very good.

Atmosphere and staff really great as always. However quality of food has significantly dropped. It is the 7th time we visited Circolo and is the first time we are disappointed from the quality of the food.

Excellent experience! The waiting staff in particular were so friendly and helpful

Lovely food, beautiful atmosphere, the highlight are the staff. Big thanks to Junaid for being so friendly

Such a lovely restaurant, food was great. Junaid served us our wine and gave reccomendations. Will definitely be coming back

Everything was outstanding, but the service was next level excellent. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Terrible experience at this restaurant. The host was rude. The manager Maria was condescending when I asked what time I would be seated? Nobody checked in with me during the wait or apologized. Complete disregard for customers. I would never dine here again.

Such a lovely place, had the truffle pasta , so delicious!

What a great location! Very cosy too! Stylish! Hip! Such a nice service! And then delicious food! My absolute recommendation! Make sure you book in the evening.

Over hyped - went there today and it was worse than I was expecting and I wasn’t expecting much. The place is over-hyped and is just a chain that is trying to sell itself as authentic and high end….it ain’t!! Service was dreadful - our waitress was unbelievably rude and when I put my order in she didn’t acknowledge me so I thought she hadn’t heard me, so I repeated it and she said “yes I heard you the fist time…..I’ve been doing this for a long time”!!!! The decor is not my vibe…..just a load of bottles on the side trying to be cool but not cool in my opinion, no cloakroom for your coat so you have to sit on it, lighting in the ladies toilets is so low you can’t see yourself in the mirror. There are extras added to your bill that you don’t expect ie an extra £1.99 check out charge!!!!! Also 15% service charge….way too high….this is not America and the service was crap….but we were too worn down by the whole experience to even challenge it! And the food was just terrible….low quality ingredients and badly cooked…I had been starving but couldn’t finish my pasta which was beyond bland!!!! Our wine waiter didn’t know how to pour wine…spilt it constantly…didn’t know you twist the bottle as you take it up after pouring to prevent dripping….nice young chap but totally inexperienced! I could go on and on and on….! Only redeeming feature was the manager who recognised what a crap experience we had and gave us bottle of wine on the house which was really decent. But I just could not recommend this place to anyone who has any standards and I won’t be returning!

Came here with my friends and the staffs’ energy was 10/10 so was the food!!! The interior is so so pretty too🫶🏾 Shoutout to Florian our waiter aswell🤩

Came for my birthday with my friends and service was lovely. The atmosphere was so warm and friendly and Florian, our server, was so welcoming and attentive. Thank you for a lovely night x :)

Unique and pleasant atmosphere with delicious food and good wine. Professional and friendly staff. Don't miss the occasion!

I think my favourite Italian in London. Great for couples, friends, families.

Rashad was great! He provided an incredible service and the food was sensational!

Nice restaurant, you have to be able to handle some crowds, the food is tasty but you feel that it has to go quickly. Nice experience but not for a nice dinner for 2.

A fantastic place. Well worth a visit.
