Downtown Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

Classic Cipriani style with high quality food. The interior reminds of Venice - yet the larger size makes it less special (but more comfortable to sit down).

Fuimos a cenar y la bienvenida fue muy fría, también se sirvió la comida antes de las bebidas. La calidad era realmente mala y la porción de la comida y especialmente de la ensalada era pobre. Realmente caro en comparación con el servicio que teníamos. El personal no fue amable ya que ni siquiera preguntaron si nos gustó nuestra comida que pedimos. No volveremos seguro.

Mayfair is by far one of my favourite areas of London mainly because of the restaurants which we go to regularly.

Siamo stati a cena! Molta confusione... cibo nella media !!! Non rispecchia a pieno la qualità del servizio e della ristorazione italiana. Non coerente il rapporto qualità prezzo!! Ero conscia del tenore quindi non intendo dire che è caro ma intendo che se scelgo un livello top come cliente mi aspetto un servizio top!!

This is a pretty good restaurant. Together with a group of friends. We had a steak tartar, some pasta, among a few more dishes which were also good. The location is great.

i just love Mayfair. Every time we go we try and stay there. Love the restaurants,the hotels and quaint bars and cafes, and the fact that it's so close to Hyde park.

Stupendo ristorante italiano a Londra. Cucina superlativa e variegata. Ottime le carni senza nulla togliere al pesce (la frittura è superlativa). Non dimentichiamo però i primi (ho mangiato una fantastica amatriciana e formidabili tagliolini "Cipriani") ed i desserts (pollice su per meringata e cheescake). Il personale, insieme ai proprietari, sono molto disponibili, cordiali ed estremamente professionali. Una delle migliori "soste cena" che abbia mai fatto. L'ambiente, con arredo di classe e di gusto, completa il bellissimo quadro. Grazie, tornerò di certo

Ristorante di fascia sicuramente alta con ampia sala arredata con gusto e raffinatezza, si distingue, oltre che per la qualità del cibo anche per la squisita cortesia e professionalità del personale (di cui molti italiani). Ho deciso di non ordinare alla carta ed ho fatto scegliere al cameriere (sardo di Cagliari) il mio menù. Ho ricevuto una fantastica pasta all'amatriciana e di secondo una spettacolare bistecca da quasi mezzo chilo (da qui la sua scelta di non portare antipasti). Il tutto condito da un buonissimo "Turriga" di Argiolas. Bellissima esperienza non rovinata certo dal conto il quale, benché sopra la media, giustifica a mio parere la qualità dell'insieme.

We had a lovely lunch with our family.the staff was very friendly and the food was tasty.we will definitely came here again ...

Este es un hermoso restaurante, con una decoración impresionante y estupendo para observar a la gente. Sin embargo, es muy caro. Servicio de camarero estaba impecable. La comida era buena, no increíble y algunas cosas estaban tratando de ser demasiado inteligentes; ¿por qué sirven un Bellini en un vaso, simplemente usas una copa de champán, lo mismo se dice para un Martini - necesitas un cristal no es un vaso de cóctel. También me pareció que la mesa s eran demasiado bajos para las colgada sillas bajas, aunque estoy seguro de que esta de moda. Pasamos una noche sólo desearía que los precios no estaban tan ridículo!

I love this area so chic so nice and so elegant shop. You can walk for hours looking the windows of big brand

Lo más increíble de este restaurante es que la gente están en la fila en la calle y las multitudes la zona del bar de la entrada para intentar conseguir un asiento.

Para ensalzar las cualidades y excepcionalmente altos estándares de un buen restaurante es muy difícil.

un buon ristorante a tutti gli effetti,magica atmosfera.la migliore cotoletta della mia vita.complimenti alla carta dei vini.

It's been a few months since i've been to Downtown Mayfair but we were in London again and decided to lunch there yesterday and it was fantastic! We decided on Downtown as C London closes for a few hours in the day and we didn't want to be rushed. The service was excellent, the food was even better.I went for the artichoke an avocado Salad which was delightful! the perfect sized starter too. Filled a hole but left enough for the main.For the main i chose the chateaubriand with bearnaise sauce as i was sharing with a friend and again perfect! My friend is a hard nut to crack and he loved Downtown! That in itself says something. Dessert was always going to be the 'Souffle al Cioccolato'. It was devoured in seconds :) We had a few of the cocktails that the staff had recommended, the obvious first choice was the bellini and we had a few 'sweet maggies' too. Price wise we spent about 80 each which is normal in these venues, (you have to pay money for great food) so that wasnt a problem. The whole dining experience was brilliant and i will definitely be recommending this place to others. The staff were really helping and charming too which was nice to see and hear.Bravo Downtown, you will definitely see me again soon.

I've literally just had our Friday business lunch there (we normally have it at C London) and it was superb! This is my first time dining here. The service was excellent, staff were very helpful plus had a sense of humour (we don't always get this in Mayfair), it has that nice warm, close atmosphere, the quality of food was fantastic too. I'll be going back for sure, It's the perfect place to power lunch, to dine with your partner. Highly recommended! Thank you to everyone there, made mine and the guys day dining there. Brilliant!

spendere cifre esagerate al ristorante può avere senso soltanto se il cibo è straordinario. Capisco che per gli inglesi un po' di pesce cucinato all'italiana possa essere eccezionale, ma per un italiano che cena a Londra da Cipriani invece il cibo è soltanto medio/alto. Il servizio è ECCELLENTE, i camerieri educati che ti cambiano la tovaglia senza che tu nemmeno te ne accorga, ti versano vino e "accudiscono" tutta la sera, veramente no-stop. Atmosfera di classe, zona Mayfair (una garanzia), specchi e candelieri, e ripeto cibo molto buono ma non eccellente per il prezzo assurdo che abbiamo pagato. Una tantum.

The service was very good and food as good with a good choice. Expensive though.Table and chairs were a bit odd, like sitting at the kiddies table, very small.DJ was different for a restaurant, but I didn't really like have to yell at people while having my meal.

I ate here with my husband on a Thursday night in the week prior to Christmas. For those not in the know, this is a sister restaurant to C London in Davies Street. We couldn't get into C London.The restaurant is tucked away opposite some offices off Conduit Street. Only 10 minutes walk from C London, but it could be a world away. Very nice welcome from the staff and I saw some tables outside which would be great in the warmer months.My main problem with the restaurant was the complete lack of atmosphere. When we came in at 8.30pm, there were only two other tables eating. We could pretty much choose where we sat. With less than a week to go to Christmas - when virtually every other bar and restaurant is packed - this is not a good sign. Staff were smiley and very friendly. Service was attentive - it had to be, there were few other customers in there to serve!We also found the menu to be limited. My husband chose a chicken dish for his main course, but had to ask for assistance in interpreting the menu. The descriptions could have been clearer. I opted for tuna tartare to start with which was delicious. My husband had steak tartare which was also very good.Mains were good and the bread basket was plentiful. We both had the classic vanilla meringue cake to finish our meal. We both felt it was not as good as C London. I am reliably informed this place is 'packed' on a Friday night and at the weekends. I hope so. Not one for us and we won't go again.

food definitely top notch, very friendly atmosphere! I think the waiters are very professional and prepared to satisfy the customer. I would recommend it for a simple lunch or a good combination of music, food, fun for the week end with the DJ!

...non si sbaglia mai. Bel locale ben arredato e con competenze adatte ad un cliente esigente. Davvero i complimenti a tutto lo staff e a Cipriani. Consigliato!

What a shambles. Soulless interior, overcrowded, understaffed by arrogant, condescending waiting staff who clearly didn't want to be there. Poor napery, glass and china. The Parma ham was good, BUT the spaghetti pomodoro was disgusting and that for £19 a portion. I was a guest and my host and great friend was very upset. My advice, steer clear it was a risible dining experience and I would certainly never return or recommend.

Preço completamente absurdo, quer para o tipo de comida, quer para a localização do restaurante. Em Londres comesse muito melhor, em restaurantes melhor localizados e com melhor serviço. Não recomendo

We booked Downtown on a Saturday night for 12 people- since we tried booking many other restaurants and they were fully booked for the evening. Our wine and appetizers were good, but our main courses were horrible! We asked for the grilled seabass, and what we received was a huge chunk of fish- seemed as if it was baked, and then slightly touched on the grill. 5 of our party ordered it, and 4 fish remained untouched- it seemed that it was frozen fish. When we told our waitress she said yup that seabass is "different" and didn't even offer to bring us something in return, and was not friendly at all! She didn't even offer an apology or attempted to let us leave with a positive attitude. Plus, it was super expensive for what it is- we payed around 107pounds per head. For that amount you would expect something spectacular! Definitely ruined the consistent image of cipriani in our eyes! It's our favorite restaurant in Ibiza and New York!

This is an excellent restaurant with high quality food quality And service. Enjoyed moment of it. Very good serviceVery good qualityVery good atmosphere

Amazing food and great service. Nice to have such a place in London. I like to go there with my Amex and forget the cost. It's pricey but it's excellent.

i stayed with my family and it was a very nice luxurious stay. i definitaly would go back and enjoy.

Really good and cozy italian. The place is wonderful for honeymooners . My only advice is to keep some room for the cake as they are quite generous with their courses.

Very pricey for average italian food, beautiful girls and good music;this is Cipriani.Don't expect a gastronomic evening but a bit of entertainement(at lunchtime only as the restaurant is empty in the evening).

Went on a Monday mid afternoon following a recommendation from the Bose shop nearby. It was very quiet but what an experience. The staff were very attentive and couldn't have been nicer to my daughter & were only too happy to cook something differently for her. The bread was excellent as were our tuna starters & my rissotto main course was fabulous. My husband had veal which he couldn't fault either & he said he could eat the lemon sauce with everything! The desserts were freshlly made and presented to us at the table to choose. Was expensive but this was central london off Regent street so didn't expect anything else. Would love to go back one day.

Went for a girly dinner on Friday night. The crowd was much younger than the Davies St Cipriani. The decor is also fresh and you don't feel like you're about to be crushed by a large chandelier. High ceilings, large windows and a cute bar area.We shared starters and then had a main each. All were well presented and delicious. Go for the artichoke and avocado salad with shaved parmesan. The mozzarella is great too and for main the meat is great, as is the sea bass with red sauce.The real show came at desert time. Already buzzing from a tasty Chianti, our tastebuds were tickled by a selection of home-made cakes (the in-house patissier makes all the cakes fresh on the day) and the to-die-for ice cream. Rest assured that bowl will be licked clean, ours was. There was a girl DJ who played some great music throughout the night. Think of a cool lounge in Ibiza - funky, deep house. It was possibly one of the longest sittings I've had in a restaurant - we arrived at 9 and left at 1! Apparently she plays every Friday and Saturday night - definitely a good way to kick start a night of dancing with some yummy cocktails. Overall a great Friday girls night.

Cipriani is a world wide known brand, however, the downtown restaurant managed to give it a younger, funner atmosphere. They are really trying to make it as appealing as possible with a new possibility of a brunch with dj on Saturday. The food is always good, maybe a little expensive for what you get, but I guess you pay for the atmosphere too. A must try if in vain for a elegant yet fun dinner.

A comida é boa, entretanto, faz voce se sentir explorado quando recebe a conta. Pedimos um vinho italiano, 50 cl, o correto, penso eu, seria trazer a garrafa à mesa e servir o vinho, não foi este o procedimento, o vinho foi servido em uma jarra e em copos d´agua, achei amador. A massa era boa, mas nada de excepcional, pelo ´preço cobrado. Não recomendo.

In una città in cui l'arte della cucina è un concetto sconosciuto, cipriani è un porto sicuro dove gustare cibi ottimi serviti da personale impeccabile in un ambiene caldo e friendly. Prezzo adeguato al livello.

Forget Cecconi's go to Downtown. Tastefully designed Art Deco style surroundings, low table and chairs, exotic books on library shelves - brilliant service and just off Regent Street.Popped in for desert after a steak lunch nearby. Delicious selection of puddings. Special lunch and evening menu's - mainly Italian. Pricey but well worth it - you are in central London !!!

We dined here twice last year when in london and returned based on the food. This restaurant has a 15% service charge and when waiters struggle with english and spill water and wine it is hard to justify. The food is good not great and given the abundance of choice I doubt we could justify the price to return again when next in london.

They do a special lunchtime menu There's a good choice of 5-6 items of starters and main courses.I had King Crab "salad" which was about 4oz of this great crab meat which alone is usually about £25 plus anywhere where it is available.Served plain and drizzled in olive oil (no actual salad leaves )The main was monk fish with zuccini which was a decent sized piece of fresh monkfish pan fried brown and covered with sauted crescents of courgettes - delicious.I tried their Tiramisu which was as good as I have in other places before but no better,,maybe too much cream for my personal taste.They present a good selection of breads, toasted ciabatta and bread sticks all plus service charge.

È all'altezza dei suoi illustri e famosi confratelli, ance se manca un po' dell'atmosfera che magari tra qualche tempo arriverà.Intanto ci si deve "accontentare" si fa per dire, del cibo che va definito per quel che rappresenta, ovvero l'eccellenza.È fa sorridere se non ridere qualche penna anche su questa tripadvisor che critica forse di invidia, perché la scuola del maestro Cipriani è alta anzi altissima, e gli scampi sono dolci comunque li mangi, e l'avocado con carciofi e poesia pura.Dolci da fuori di testa, con la new entry del gelato alla vaniglia mantecato e fatto in casa che da solo vale il biglietto...Un sonetto all'Italia.

In pieno centro e con un'ottima atmosfera il ristorante downtown è ottimo sia per affari che per una cena elegante e raffinata. Locale molto cool ( cioè con luci d'atmosfera ). Tavoli piccoli, ottimo tovagliato e apparecchiatura. Discutibile la scelta dei bicchieri senza stelo per il vino. Menu semplice ed italianissimo. Carta dei vini ben studiata ed essenziale. Servizio ottimo, velocissimo ( ti buttano letteralmente fuori in meno di un'ora!!!).Prezzi Cipriani's Style.

a cosy lovely italien restaurant in mayfair london.good italien food,nice collection of wine.decent price for bussiness menue lunch and dinner.prime location and very warm service.

I was recommended to this restaurant by the concierge at the Westbury Hotel (5*). It was a business dinner - so we had no need to worry about the cost. Nevertheless, charging c. £20 for a plate of melanzane parmigiana - especially when it looked and tasted as if it had been bought from a lower end supermarket - was outrageous. The tuna starter was also unappetising and looked like it had been brought in. My client had a ravoli dish - which barely covered the plate, the portion was so mean. It is rare to find a real poor Italian in central London. But this was poor and vastly overpriced. Probably explains why there were more waiters than customers!

Ladies and gentlemen,, the food there is fantastic! an experience you will not forget!Start with the real bellini (those guys invented it) with zucchine fried... Taste the "treccia" and the ham simple delicious. If you love the meat you cannot skip the chateaubriand steak is divine. And if you really want be delighted by the food end with the most amazing ice-cream made freshly only for you (please don't miss it). of course all this has a price and in this case is very high... Don't forget is still a Cipriani..

I really don't like dining out where a restaurant full of just groups of women. It does not have the buzz of C-London in Davies Street.

Nice restaurant populated by a young crowd of kids with father' s credit cards.Food is good but hugely overpriced . A simple cotoletta alla milanese is 40 pounds.....ridiculous.nothing more to be added.

Cordialità, gentilezza del personale, bellissimo ambiente e buon cibo.. e non esageratamente caro.Si respira la cordialità italiana, ti fanno sentire a casa nonostante il posto sia molto lussuoso.Ottima location e posizione.Consiglio anche i cocktail, sono fatti bene e forti al punto giusto.Mi è piaciuto soprattutto il servizio e ovviamente il cibo invece non ci sono cose che non mi siano piaciute.

Beautiful spot tucked away in the sidestreets of Mayfair, such an exclusive feel about the location. Greeted by discreet but friendly doormen and a warm, welcoming hostess. We were a little early which wasnt a problem, were seated at the bar where we had Bellini and a very light battered and deep fried zuchini! Delicious. Seated at a table for 2 in the middle of this bustling restaurant, its a great place to people watch, there were one or two celebs there and a premiership footballer the night we went. It was my birthday and even though the staff didnt know this we were treated like celebs ourselves.Next we ordered a mixed plate of Sushi, it was immaculately prepared and the choice was amazing, from scallop to tuna steak, lobster to salmon. Amazing.We then had mixed starters, steak tartar which was smooth, rich and moreish, a tomato and bread sauce with delicious home baked bread and a lovely spicy sausage sliced onto thin fried bread. Next for mains we had the black cod... now this was special, i would recommend to any fish fan... the memory of this dish will stay with me forever. My partner had veal which was also to die for and a selection of side dishes. Desert came a just when we thought we couldeat no more we were recommended to try the home made ice cream and chocolate cake to share, unbelievable, simple but perfection. We finished on some very interesting lemon sorbet and vodka (i think) cocktails which I have never tried before, they were exceptional and a great way to end what was a truly memorable night. Yes, it was a bit more expensive than going to your usual west end restaurant but you know that before you go. A remarkable evening filled with 5* service and authentic, completely delicious food.

We switched tables from an uncomfortable, far too low a corner seat by a tiny round table, at Downtown where the table leg was in my way and irritating to a decent sized table. We visited one late March evening from 6.30pm to 11.45pm and observed everything with interest. Bill for two £500. Food OK, service could have been better but staff were very pleasant. Room was totally empty for first hour, then it very slowly reached around 80% upstairs and about 5% downstairs by 10pm. This isn’t the Wolseley, no tables were occupied during the evening more than once. There was no atmosphere at all. The place needs a front man or two. Arrigo Cipriani's son, Giuseppe ambled in around 8.30pm and sat at a table with a very attractive young lady, where he remained seated for the rest of the evening, ignoring everyone. Diners not aware would not have realised that Arrigo’s son was amongst them as he was doing no hosting at all. He could have made guests feel welcome simply by greeting everyone for a minute each....then get back to his lovely lady.Arrigo Cipriani always visits every table and greets guests at Harry's Bar in Venice, saying a few words to everyone and smiling. Doesn’t Giuseppe realise how the brand was built up? What a wasted opportunity when he could have allowed diners to meet a genuine member of the legendary “Cipriani” family and give the room, which need a lift, that “Cipriani” touch so brilliantly ever-present at Harrys in Venice.When I arrived with a showbiz friend of mine, faces of staff appeared at window, staring....noses pressed against the window. The wine service was a mess and they opened and poured both wines with our starter even though the £125 bottle of Italian white had been specifically discussed when ordering to be served with main course. Lovely room, great position, superb loos......I hope it does well but I doubt I’ll be rushing back. We much prefer "C" also in London and formerly owned by the Cipriani group which had a name change after a lawsuit brought by Orient Express Hotels. Food at "C" far better and C has a "buzz" which doesn't exist at Downtown. This place needs Mr Arrigo Cipriani who knows how to enliven a room and make a visit to his restaurant special.

The staff are charming but the food is very average and overpriced. Tasteless steak tartar starter for £26.00 is absurd, dry chicken main course not much more flavour. The lighting is too bright but the design is good

TUCKED AWAY IN A SMALL STREET RUNNING OF THE END OF SAVILLE ROW AT THE CONDUIT STREET END. The expensively fitted interior is retro-deco meets 30's Ocean Liner. Smart hand picked staff all with a very pleasant manner. When I went for lunch it was half full with suited Businessmen and a few ladies who lunchI had Italian style Bisque Fish soup which contained chunks of white fish possibly swordfish at £9 probably enough for a light lunch and very acceptable and representing fair value.This followed with minced veal cannelloni which was 4 pieces stuffed with well seasoned minced veal delicious but grossly overpriced at £18. Very good bread and in house made bread-sticks there was no cover charge .I noticed there was a 3 course lunch on offer @£33 . I wouldn't be rushing back as I can eat better value than this in the West End. Worth trying for the experience. They should do well based on snob appeal as there enough wealthy diners who head for this area.

Wow wow and wow. Its a place to try. The food was authentic Italian and the service was impeccable.Try the artichoke Fondi ( amazing) and the piccatina ( even better) for dessert it was hard to choose, so in two we had 4 desserts, couldnt help our selfs. The experience we had was 10/10 all the way. From the moment you walk in till you leave 5 star.

This new Cipriani venture in London is certainly busy just three weeks after opening. And if you like bling, this is the place for you. Your eyes will be on stalks - leggy girls in cocktail dresses, Chanel bags galore, diamonds to die for, this is certainly the place to be seen.It's disappointing, though. You sit at tables and chairs that are so low that you feel like you're at kindergarten. The tables are so small that the army of waiters has to perform a never-ending ballet moving this glass to the left, this plate to the right, this bread basket away.Then there's the food. It's not bad and my plate of pasta with guinea fowl sauce was pretty delicious. But at £20 for a small plate, so it should be.Then, there's the wine. Nowhere on the wine list can you see how much the 'small', 'medium' or 'large' carafe holds. So I ordered a 'small' carafe of Rosso di Romagna to share with a friend. It barely held 250 ml - two small glasses. Not a bad wine but then at £20 a small carafe, so it should be.We shared a dessert. Again, a perfectly acceptable cake with Italian meringue - very pretty and pretty delicious too. But then, at £11, so it should be.The tables are so near to each other that the waiters have to move people's chairs all the time just to get past. The decor is opulent but seems vaguely fake, they've tried too hard to transplant the Cipriani experience to London.No doubt this will be the 'in' place for a while and it's worth trying it out - but just the once.
