We dined here with friends a couple of nights ago. Service was very attentive with a nice ambiance. All of our dishes were very well prepared. Slightly overpriced but goes with the location. Would recommend for special night out.

Went there for lunch with my two sons, we were sited at the entrance although the main area was almost empty (found out later) , food was mediocre and my fish wasn’t cooked enough they claimed that they serve the fish medium. Super expensive 150 pounds for father withe two kids. Not worth it!!!

Came here for lunch with some friends. We ordered green leaf salad, burrata and octopus carpaccio to start with. I absolutely loved the burrata! My main was the pappardelle dish and it was very tasty, I finished it all. I did try a bite of other dishes too and they all tasted great, the salmon had a really nice crispy skin and was seasoned very nicely. The lobster linguine had a nice amount of kick to it, and the lasagna was delicious but would be too heavy for me personally as a lunch item, would do great as a dinner meal for us. Crème brulée was yummy, and the special dessert of the day was so good! Very pleased with my meal here. We sat outside and they do have space heaters if you get cold.

Good food but very overpriced even for the location. The service charge at a whopping 15% is totally unjustified but to be fair it’s become common in the west end of london. The menu prices are high enough without the need for a 15% ‘tip’ on the vat inclusive price.

Sometimes you visit a place where you think, can I actually bother to write a review? Franco's sort of redefines mheh. To the lady directing us to a table... darling you work in a shop. Lose the attitude. To the waiter who eventually arrived to take our order, which eventually arrived after which we eventually got a bill after I had to ask for it, mate, raise your game. At the prices you guys charge I expect more. So drinkable coffee but really Franco's is mheh!

Traditional ambience that caters to its target audience of business / professionals. we were here in the morning and had coffee and breakfast. Food was average and the coffees were pretty poor and inconsistent. My first flat white arrived lukewarm, the next over extracted and bitter. Considering the prices, it’s terrible value. Be great if they focused more on substance and quality than ambience. I’d happily ditch the coat hanging service in exchange for a decent coffee, thanks.

I love live jazz, and heard a lot about Franco’s. I visited for dinner, it was £95 for live music, and dinner. On arriving, the band played for 15 minutes the time we took to read the menu and get our drinks. They then took a “short” break. There was no music playing when the band left. Silence. During this time, we had our first course, mediocre. The band returned when our main courses were served. We enjoyed that with a few songs, and the band took their second break mid main. We then finished our main course and our dessert in absolute silence, requested our bill twice and took 15 minutes or more to arrive. The band still had not started playing again. They probably played for 30 minutes in a 1 1/2 hour evening. The food was average, the overall experience should not be more than £60 per head, due to location, ambience and cost of ingredients. The 2 members of the service team seemed like they were on a date, behaving inappropriately with each other. I very rarely write reviews, usually when something is exceptionally good or very disappointing. Unfortunately this was the latter.

I had lunch here this week and didn’t find the experience or food in line with the prices you are paying. Firstly trying or order wine was quite challenging as it was clear the two different servers who tried to help us were clueless and had clearly very little knowledge of both the drinks menu and what the wines were. For starters we both had a squid special with black rice, whilst it was nice it really wasn’t anything special. For mains we had the Lobster linguine and a risotto, again both were fine but not overly tasty or enjoyable to eat. The best thing I had was dessert and amaretto crème brûlée which was delicious. Overall by the time the bill came I felt a little robbed and would unlikely return

Attentive service and obliging given tight schedule. The bread basket was ample and varied. Parma ham and melted cheese a little over the top. Lobster linguine a solid 4 and the veal chop was also on point. Ambience was buzzing during lunch which added to the overall vibe of the place. Decent business lunch venue.

It's a restaurant with a great atmosphere. We originally had a reservation, but the train was delayed and arrived 15 minutes late. The waiter was still very kind to arrange seats for us. Since I have never asked a waiter to recommend how to order food, the waiter also expressed her thoughts sincerely. We ordered octopus as an appetizer. The thinly sliced octopus was paired with orange and onion. The seasoning was good and appetizing, but the octopus didn't feel very fresh and was a bit off-flavor. Sarah ordered the tomato cheese salad, and the cheese was cut into super thick and large pieces. , the watery cheese is delicious with tomatoes. White truffle pasta, the wide noodles dipped in sauce and paired with truffles is also a delicious dish; the steak looks ordinary, but it is delicious and full of gravy and meat flavor. Pink wine is delicious and girly. Overall a very good dining experience.

My go-to spot in London for everything from business breakfast to evening cocktails with my girlfriends. Franco's has the absolute best classic cocktail menu with incredible alcohol-free options making it the perfect spot to enjoy some terrace drinks with drinkers and non-drinkers alike. The menu is true authentic Italian and alongside classic dishes and indulgent pasta they always have some lighter and healthy options which I love. However light a main a might choose, I will always finish my visit with their affogato which is, in my opinion, the best in London! A must visit for tourists and a firm favourite for locals.

Franco's is reliably superb, in the quality of the food and drink, the service (truly impeccable) and the general ambience. It is always a pleasure to lunch or dine here.

Oh wow. It is with deep regret that I have to write this review. I simply do not want other patrons experience be ruined. Do not go to Franco’s for their food. More precisely, their breakfast menu is sub-sub- par. I had their avocados on sourdough toast. OMG- was this bad: from presentation, to execution to delivery on a plate. I have not seen a sadder plate of food, I believe, ever. No effort, no gusto, no sense of what this poor avocado wants to be. [my local caff’ does a more elegant job for a fraction of the price!] - Service was slow (on terrace) but the street cleaning atmosphere at least made me feel alive and an in Central London. Lovely. In short: Avoid for breakfast.

Ever make that mistake where you end up at a way nicer place than you intended?

We went there last night with some friends who highly recommended this restaurant. Firstly, after about 20 minutes, we actually had to ask for menus then it was another good 25 minutes before anyone came to take the order. Again, this was having asked what was going on and please could somebody take our order, especially as many tables that came in after us, not only had their order taken, but we’re already being served their starters… preferential treatment? Then, and only then did somebody actually come and place some olives, nuts, and a basket of bread on the table. This was after nearly an hour. The starters eventually arrived and all seemed well. I myself did not order a starter as I can rarely fit in two courses… Let’s get to the main course, we all ordered the same thing, the veal chop main course which promised much along with a couple of sides. Eventually, our main courses arrived. I could see immediately that mine had not been trimmed at all and the fat on the outside not rendered down and whilst I understand, a little fat is needed for cooking and taste purposes what was left on my chop was quite gross, plus which upon tasting a mouthful was cold, as yet no vegetables served. Again after trying for quite awhile to get somebody’s attention, we mentioned that we were still waiting for our side dishes. By this time our friends had almost finished their meal we were all still waiting for the sides that had been ordered. When only 1 plate of the zucchini actually arrived, I had gone past everything and my friends and husband had finished and the main discussion of the evening was how disappointed we were. We asked to speak to the manager. And even he took his time coming over to our table, we explained all our concerns, and he nodded politely and said that he would adjust the bill accordingly. At this point, we advised him that whatever he was planning to do that he should most definitely not even consider applying the service charge. I asked him to take my plate away.… And no thank you, I would not like anything else and eat alone and also mentioned the missing other side dish which can you believe it still took another 15 minutes to arrive even though they could clearly see that three of the mains had been finished, and mine had been taken away so what was the point of bringing anything more. This was at least 30 minutes after the main course was served. My husband nearly lost it completely then and told the manager not to insult us by even bringing that to the table at this stage and our friends who had been many times before definitely complained that there was preferential treatment going on and generally this establishment must be short staffed. Thriving on past glory one wonders? We most definitely will not be returning, recommending and although our friends company was great the evening was ruined for all of us and in these economic times that is a real shame. We work hard to enjoy a Saturday night out and do not expect an establishment like this to be so deplorable. They did try to make it up to us by adjusting our bill, nevertheless the damage was done! I fail to see how this restaurant gets any good reviews and repeat custom. Our friends have also reported this on Quango , which it was booked through. Go anywhere else!!

Myself and my family came in with high expectations after reading reviews and looking forward to traditional Italian cuisine, but were majorly let down and frankly upset after this experience. We were sat in the basement and the waiter for our section, a European man with a beard in I’d suppose his 40’s, and he made the experience probably the worst fine dining service I’ve experienced in probably 15 countries and all my years. We didn’t catch his name and he didn’t care enough to give it to us with probably this foresight, but he was arrogant, pompous, condescending, patronising, insulting, and truly rude at times. I saw him rolling his eyes and making faces throughout serving our table throughout our dinner service and I felt he even insulted my intelligence with snide remarks and did not appreciate this attitude as customers in a “fine dining” establishment. You could receive more courtesy and care from service at a street vendor or fast food restaurant than with this rude man at Franco’s. The food was not good enough to make up for the worst service in London. Do not come here if you expect to be treated with respect as a polite and paying customer.

Attractive room, busy and buzzing with business types for breakfast - but very disappointed that my eggs Benedict appeared not on two buttered muffins but on one slice of value white toast. A VERY STRANGE CHOICE by Franco's - I have never encountered that before. Did they run out of muffins? If so - how about explaining to the customer and asking if they would like brown or white toast - or something else? PLUS - it's a high end Italian restaurant - how about some nice focaccia instead? but good grief not a bog standard slice of white toast.....FFS.

The food was generally okay, with a nice but salty bread basket and tasty dishes like the burrata, pappardelle with mixed mushrooms and black truffle and risotto. However, the overall saltiness was a recurring issue. Unfortunately, we requested Diet Coke with our order, but it never arrived. The waiting time to place our order was quite long, despite asking for assistance twice. Understandably, lunchtime can be busy, but it seemed the establishment to have been understaffed.

So, we knew it would be pricey, but then you expect something a bit out of the ordinary don’t you. Well it wasn’t. The burrata dish for example was uninspired to say the least - a few basic components assembled on a plate. That said the veal in the vitello tonnato was perfectly poached and tasty; just a bit overpowered by the capers and anchovies. The ‘classic lasagna’ would have been more at home in a classic trattoria and needed a good 10 minutes before it was cool enough to eat safely. Then the coffee - which you expect to be great in an Italian restaurant of this calibre, but again we were disappointed. While the service was generally attentive, this may have been more due to wanting us in and out in the shortest possible time (for example, the first course arrived before the aperitifs were finished and the between-course pause we requested was hardly noticeable). Would we go back? Well the good bits (including the casually elegant surroundings) didn’t weigh up against the rest. So, no.

This place isn't cheap but the quality is very high, so it's worth the high price. My starter was a beetroot salad with orange. Doesn't sound that exciting but beetroot and orange combine really well. Who knew? Then for my main course I had venison ravioli which was just superb. Nothing more to say. I also very much enjoyed my bread and butter pudding. The service was also great and the atmosphere was good too. I can't fault this place.

We enjoyed breakfast here. It was jam-packed full of people on a week day. It looked like most people where they for business but there were a few tourists like is. We ordered eggs Florentine and Oatmeal. Both were good. Coffee was delicious.

O’ver offers an extensive selection of classic Italian dishes, covering everything from antipasti to desserts. To start your meal, you can choose from traditional options like arancini and burrata. The main course menu features a diverse array of pasta, gnocchi, and ravioli, as well as a range of pizzas that include both meat and vegetarian options. There are also selections for vegan diners, such as the simple yet popular Marinara, which consists of just a tomato base on the crust. The dessert menu doesn’t disappoint either, with staples like tiramisù and other delectable options that satisfy your sweet tooth. The restaurant itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the overall experience pleasant. However, while the menu is broad and the dishes are prepared in a traditional style, the taste doesn’t quite meet expectations, especially given the premium pricing. For example, the Marinara pizza—a classic that should highlight the quality of its ingredients—fell flat. It lacked the distinctive punch of garlic and felt more like a basic tomato sauce on a crust. Considering the average cost of around £50 per person, this was a letdown. Despite the charming ambiance and attentive service, O’ver’s food doesn’t quite justify its price point. As much as I enjoyed the cozy environment, I would recommend exploring other options if you’re looking for a more authentic taste of Italian cuisine.
