Circolo Popolare in City of London, Westminster

Amazing food, out of this world. The drinks were the highlight for sure, the bar had a great energy to them.

Amazing place and experience, not to be missed

Roberto amaizing service!🫶🏼 Very nice care from managers as well especially vincenzo and jacopo! Will back for sure,best place in london!

Anna Maria and Ijaz were great and provided a fantastic service

A very good restaurant and the staff was very kind

The vibe in this place is really cool and like the drama of the carbonara in the cheese wheel but the service ruined it for us. Took 30 mins to get served as we were completely ignored and asked 3 times if we could order drinks. Once we did order they forgot the order…! Overall loved this place when it opened but has gone downhill since, particularly given they slap on a heavy service charge and the food is spenny. Had emailed to share feedback and never replied.

Lovely Italian place, great for special occasions

Great place to eat Authentic Italian cuisine, and friendly staff

Mario provided great service, the truffle pasta and tiramisu were delicious, and the cocktails were also awesome, thank you 😊

Had a good time and felt really welcome thanks to Mario.

Food was great and service was amazing thanks to Mario.

Very nice restaurant , great taste of the spaghetti and the lasagna.

Well some "like it hot" that's me !! Great pizza Indeed !! Looking for truffle was also a huge hit , along with sexy cocktails , olive snacks and fantastic focaccia. Will be back as soon as we can be booked in ....

Part of the Big Mamma group, Circolo Poppolare is a big, buzzing place with kitsch decor and a lot of atmosphere. Sadly, though, the food just isn't all that good. Two of our group had the crab pasta - they described it as "ok". One had truffle pizza - she said it was good, but the base was very obviously soggy. I had the chicken skewer, which was the biggest disappointment. For £24 you get 6 bitesize pieces of chicken, spaced so far apart on a massive skewer I thought they'd forgotten half of it. And yet they still didn't manage to cook the chicken through, so I had to send back my meal when I cut into a piece of chicken that was still raw. Happily, our waiter whisked it away with a promise to remake it and the chicken on the second plate was fully cooked. Sadly, though, the accompanying roasted crushed potatoes and fried aubergine and courgette come swimming in so much oil, I was having to press them on the edge of the plate to drain it off before eating them. Having already made a fuss about the raw chicken, I didn't feel comfortable complaining again as I didn't want to make my friends wait for me even longer (as they had already just about finished their mains when my replacement chicken arrived)... Dessert was the highlight for me - the pistachio gelato is *delicious* - but the crazy large lemon meringue pie that my friend had seemed more of a gimmick than anything else. The ratio of meringue to lemon is so disproportionate she left most of the meringue on the plate. Service was friendly and not inattentive, but we were pretty shocked when the bill first came to see that we were charged for two of my chicken dish. Usually when a restaurant messes up they take the item *off* the bill, not charge extra for the replacement dish! They did remove the second chicken when we queried it, but weren't particularly apologetic about it (so if I were a cynic I'd say they may have hoped we wouldn't notice and would just pay for the two chickens)... And it's not exactly cheap - a main and a dessert each, plus a bottle of prosecco between four of us still came to over £45 per head once the 13.5% service charge is factored in. Given the location, Circolo Poppolare will probably never be short of customers, but there are many better options for Italian food in London (where I've never been served raw chicken) so I don't think I'll be back.

The atmosphere is delicious.. And the food is really delicious!!

Great restaurant with delicious food and amazing atmosphere thanks to Ana-Maria! Starters were top notch as well as carbonara and pasta with crab (comes a bit spicy) Just a quick note - if you are a bolognese lover - don’t order papardele con ragu cause this is a different recipe- not the restaurant fault, but it’s not as good as bolognese.

Great service and food. Thanks to our waitor Mario

Great selection of food, top notch atmosphere. Good price. Will definitely come again

Great place, beatiful decoration. Staff polite and accommodating. Food delicious

Took over an hour for our starters to arrive and had to keep asking for the waiters attention to get drinks. Was sat at group sharing table which fits x12 people. We were a group of x6 and and group next to us were a group of x7 so they had squished an additional chair on one side which meant I was very cramped. Restaurant desperately needs air-con. 21 degree evening and must be because of the open kitchen but incredibly warm which made for a further uncomfortable seating. Can’t imagine what it will be like on the warmer UK days. Cannot fault the food or the ambience though and would still recommend.

Very nice food and environment and super nice service !! Love all the truffle pasta !!

Great Italian restaurant, a must do definitely! Stunning decor and atmosphere. Mario, our server, was really helpful and gave us good advice. Thanks Mario!

It’s a nice looking place and offers a great tiramisu but not much else going for it anymore. The food is average and with no fan or air conditioning it gets really uncomfortable sitting indoors unless you are near one of the open doors.

Amazing meal, absolutely amazing atmosphere!

The staff were amazing. We made a mistake in our booking but they acclimated I Sam made our anniversary so special. Thank you to the team.

lovely food and service was very good to celebrate my birthday. roberto was really helpful and friendly and we all had a great time - thank you so much :)

The best food and loberto was so helpful ans friendly

Absolutely delicious and create atmosphere.

Everything about our experience today was 5*. The atmosphere is lovely with an unbelievable menu to match. We were also well looked after by Georgio who provided a service to match.

Absolutely beautiful aesthetic, the food is fresh and beautiful presented. The staff are polite and friendly, an overall lovely relaxed atmosphere. I would most definitely recommend.

Really lovely place kind and caring staff

Incredible decoration and overall good service. Food was good and not as expensive as I thought it would be, given the portions are quite large. highly recommend booking in advance

Love the truffle mushroom pizza. It’s the best pizza in town.

What an incredible experience ❤️

Great place to stay! Highly recommend

Always delicious food and Iulia our server is the best of the best. Give food recommendations and always check on us. Great job Luila.

This restaurant has a predefined tip already added to the bill. To force an involuntary tip/fee of 13% to be added to the bill, for then to make the customer contact a manager to remove the “involuntary” tip is almost like putting words in someone else’s mouth. It is very strange and taints the whole experience we had, prior to receiving the bill. Ending the night like this was a bummer and seems a bit unprofessional.

The location is beautifully designed; it's quite loud, but you can still have a conversation. The staff is incredibly polite and attentive. What I find a shame is that the food doesn't match the ambiance, meaning it doesn't taste particularly good. The prices are steep but are okay for London, but I wasn't impressed with the food, and the portions weren't particularly large either. All in all, though, it still gets 4 stars.

The location is great—no question about it. The food, however, was only mediocre. The value for money was particularly disappointing: the prices are simply too high for the quality offered.

We thought this restaurant was great

Lovely atmosphere, great food and Katrina looked after us amazingly.

beautiful food, amazing service which all of my family and i enjoyed a LOT! I would recommend this to everyone!

I will take a minute for Rohit Sharma🤌🏻He was the star of this evening. 🍷Me and my partner were here today for our special day 🤍and it was totally worth it. 🫡Cheers to Rohit. Will be there soon again 🤌🏻

The stuff was welcoming and very accommodating. The food was delicious, we couldn’t find anything wrong! The decoration/atmosphere was amazing, made you think you were outside, somewhere in south Italy, waiting for a Mediterranean breeze to blow. Good job to everyone. And thank you to every single stuff member.

The pasta carbonara for 2 persons is the best! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

We went as a family of 5 to dinner, we thought the place was great, tastefully decorated, the food delicious, but undoubtedly our waiter JUAN PABLO was WONDERFUL and very friendly, I would give him more stars if there were any.

The food and service were excellent. Thank you, Gaby.

We had a great experience at Circolo. Excellent service and the food is amazing. Highly recommend it.

Perfect night out great food drinks and vibe.

My family and I came here on the recommendation of a cousin who lives here. She couldn't have chosen a better place to come for dinner than this one. The food was delicious and the place is super pretty. But without a doubt, the best part was Juan Pablo. His attention to us was wonderful and unbeatable. An INCREDIBLE experience. Thank you so much. I hope to come back soon. :)

This is my second time here, and I haven't been disappointed. I love this place, and the food is delicious, I came with my family and they love it too. Juan Pablo served us and he made the experience even better, thank you! 😊

We visited the restaurant on Wednesday, May 28th. The food was simply delicious. Everything was carefully presented and served perfectly. But what really made the difference was the service. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. We especially want to give a shout-out to Juan Pablo, our waiter, who was charming, attentive, and very professional. He recommended dishes, made us feel at home, and always had a smile on his face. Highly recommended.

Went as part of a group with a set menu so got to try a variety of foods. All of which were so delicious. I could have spent the whole evening eating the foccacia and the burrata. The staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The atmosphere was great and very joyous, and the whole environment is just beautiful.

Zeinab-very good service and friendly waitress

Gaby was amazing she suggested what I could order and was very professional and nice

Food was amazing. The service was sooo insanely slow. Couldn’t even make eye contact with these guys. Never came and asked if we wanted more drinks or dessert.

Nice environment, friendly staff and good food. No waiting line today

Service was excellent and the pasta was delicious!!

It was the most amazing experience that I've ever had! Food was delicious and my server Katirena was so lovely and smiley! I'll come back soon!

Truffle pasta was amazing! Great atmosphere & wide range of drinks, love the Lemoncello!

Catrina was very helpful and attended to us immediately🩷. Great restaurant

Great food and vibes! Katrina was fantastic, on point, professional and caring.

This place is STUNNING. Pictures don’t even do it justice. The lighting, the decor, the flowers hanging from the ceiling really do leave you breathless. The cocktails were hit or miss— I loved my “Game. Set. Rossini” (I think that’s what it was called), but the margarita was just okay. The truffle pasta was very tasty, but the pizza was wildly underwhelming. After reading so many reviews praising it, we were very surprised and found it very one-note. Service is chaotic and it seems that no servers take ownership over any section or specific tables, so you do a lot of waiting until someone notices that you have not been helped yet. Overall, it was a lovely date night, and I do suggest coming for the ambience. Skip the pizza! And definitely make a reservation way in advance.

Not worth the hype. Lovely ambiance but a dated ‘chain feeling’ restaurant. Some of the food we had for the standard of restaurant was sub-par, burnt bread and chicken on the pinker side. The pasta dishes were gorgeous and perfectly cooked (crab). Most of the crockery was beautiful looking but a lot of it had chips and dents. We were told to pay via the QR code app which automatically submits service charge and then asks for additional tip on top of previous service charge and then adds an admin fee per transaction on top! Overall nice causal restaurant but not a special experience.

The food was amazing and our server rashan was the best so could ask for an ultimately made the night and atmosphere x

From the moment we stepped into Circolo Popolare, we were transported to a vibrant Sicilian escape in the heart of London. The atmosphere is nothing short of enchanting — walls lined with thousands of glowing bottles, lush greenery, and a warm, buzzing energy that sets the tone for an unforgettable evening.What truly elevated our experience, however, was the incredible hospitality. Florian and the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, attending to every detail with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. Their knowledge of the menu, paired with their friendly, attentive service, made the evening seamless from start to finish.The food? Absolutely divine. From the creamy truffle pasta to the signature desserts that are as much a visual spectacle as they are a culinary delight, every dish was bursting with flavour and flair.Circolo Popolare is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Huge thanks to Florian and the amazing team for making our night so special. Can’t wait to return!

Ossama was great, the food was insane, overall 10/10 experience

this was an incredible experience and i will surely be coming back here soon its such a peaceful but also exciting place to eat at the staff were extremely nice wnd helpful and i enjoyed every bit of eating there my familt also loved it to bits i recommend this place alot!!!!

Highly recommend. Such a great relaxed and friendly atmosphere, fantastic decor and great food

Florian was amazing ! Very good service

Pizza was a giant swing and a miss. Top was cooked, crust was soft as possible. Pasta was okay, id recommend staying there. Steak? No go. Service is meh. Multiple weird things went on about ordering etc. Desert. Trash. Its glorified cheesecake factory

Catfish restaurant. Glorified Cheesecake Factory. The atmosphere is really good, but the service is terrible and the food was so mid. I skipped lunch for this meal, and was extremely disappointed. I came here to dine at a nice restaurant but was rushed the entire time. The food looks good, but it’s not.

Excellent service. Highly recommend

I had a great time, fast service, friendly staff and beautiful Italian food

I was really looking forward to going to London and was lucky enough to eat at this restaurant. The atmosphere was incredible, the food spectacular, and Jason's service was wonderful. He treated us like family. We'll be back.

Fantastic and deceptively huge restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere!

A very nice and good restaurant. But above all, the waiter Jason served us impeccably. I'm incredibly grateful and will return.

Excellent service. Jason served us, and he was really nice.

Excellent experience, and I especially want to congratulate our waiter, Jason, for his exceptional service. His service was friendly, attentive, and truly made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The place is very nice, and Jason's service is excellent ☺️

The food was very delicious, and the waiter Jason was very friendly and attentive in everything.

The place is very cozy, I recommend it and above all, Jason's very good service ☺️

Waiter Jason is excellent, sticking to the most traditional Neapolitan style. I know what I'm talking about. He also combines timeless style with a modern twist, pairing his recipes with next-generation cheeses. A 10. The atmosphere is like something out of "Catch Me If You Can." There's a scene with the same set that makes you feel like DiCaprio is about to walk in, dressed as an airline pilot. A 10.

Great food, great service from Jacopo!!

Incredibly perfect, the service and food are divine 😍😍

A real change of scenery, the staff attentive and efficient We had a wonderful time

The restaurant is very beautiful, the food is very good, and above all, Jason's service was excellent 😊

A wonderful place, the decor and atmosphere are incredible. The food is spectacular, I couldn't decide where to go because everything was made with such love and care. And let's not even mention the service. We had a waiter (Jason) who was always attentive to our needs, very friendly, so I would return for that alone... for the attention I received!!!

The service was fast and efficient, The experience was outstanding, and Their customer service was top-notch. A massive thank you to Jason.

The food was great and Jason's service was super good, I'll come back again!! 🥳

The food was delicious, it was a pleasure to be in that restaurant... and I also liked it because they served me excellently, especially a guy named Jason who served me super well.

A 100% recommended place, excellent atmosphere and very cozy. The food is 10/10, very delicious 😋 . Very friendly and welcoming service from Jason, excellent service!!

It's a very nice and pleasant place. Dinner was delicious, especially the pasta carbonara, which was one of my favorite dishes. And the service was very attentive, especially the guy named Jason who served us. He was great. I would recommend this place... ☺️

I went yesterday Friday for lunch and the guy Jason was the best in his performance, very good service

The food was super great, everything was delicious, the service was super good, a guy Jason served me with a very good attitude 😊

Everything was wonderful, the restaurant was amazing!

I’ve eaten at Circolo Popolare many times now and the food is always delicious! Their spaghetti carbonara (served from a cheese wheel!) is a personal favourite 😍 the service is good and their staff have always been friendly. One thing to note is that the Spaghetti Carbonara in the cheese wheel is only served per 2 people. Their desserts are HUGE, usually we get one to share between us as we never have enough room for a dessert each! It’s always busy and fully booked so it can get quite noisy and warm inside, but it’s always a lovely meal. Highly recommend ☺️

A friend recommended this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Staff is friendly, restaurant atmosphere and design was great, as was the food. Would recommend the cheese wheel carbonara and the pesto burrata!

Took my partner here for his birthday! Great Vibe, Great Food. Awesome Service

Despite the fact that we didn’t have a reservation, we were helped with maximum dedication! All the people here are absolutely amazing, the food is magnificent. Special thanks to the wine guy! Like a piece of heaven! I strongly recommend ❤️
