I had another great experience at Frantoio by Bucci! Amazing food, nice wine and friendly atmosphere! Italian cuisine at it’s best!! I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves fine dining!

Great, great Italian restaurant! We were actually there in October 2023. Had booked another reservation that night at a different restaurant in Chelsea, but switched to here later in the day & what a great decision that turned out to be! Wish we could go back soon; hopefully we will.

This restaurant came highly recommended by friends, and it certainly did not disappoint. From the moment we sat down, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, who made us feel right at home. The food is fantastic, and the service is impeccable—it’s definitely a place to be seen and enjoy a wonderful meal. In my view, it's the best Italian restaurant in Chelsea.

This is a terrific restaurant. The food is good, the service is great but most of all it has that unusual characteristic in London - atmosphere! As I go there about twice a month perhaps I should declare some sort of interest. It has a an excellent ambience and is cracking fun. It is used by the many famous names and colourful characters who, like me, continually go back there.

Everyone who comes to London MUST eat the tiramisu at Frantoio by Bucci. It is absolutely beautiful and delicious. The staff are kind and multilingual which is fantastic. The languages spoken include Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. If you are staying at any hotels in Knigtsbridge/ Hyde Park, chelsea/world's end, or sloane Square this restaurant is perfect. The nearest buses are the number 49, 345, and a few other routes too depending on where you are staying. I hope this helps.

If you're not a regular then don't bother. First time I've ever waited 45 minutes to be served in any restaurant, anywhere in the world. Then when we were, we had to confirm with three different waiters for our drinks. The service is awful, no designated waiters to tables and they're surprisingly untrained - one in particular who keeps using the word "darling" is a weird, touchy freak. They favour their regulars who they run around for and sit around chatting to, while you wait there starving. Food itself was also extremely basic - pasta was not cooked al dente/authentically and was soft and mushy, resembled more a school dinner so didn't come close to warranting its price. Starters were okay. If you want a good Italian there are a number of them on King's Road. This isn't one.

We were greeted by the owner butch who was very welcoming and spent some time talking and joking with us, the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend coming to Frantoio, but you will need to make a reservation as you will be lucky to walk in and get a table Frantoio thank you so much for making my mums birthday and our visit so enjoyable

One of the servers was so rude. He started to question my guest as to why we asked for a table for 4 people if we were 3 adults (mind you we had two infants in buggies). I told him I’m the one who made the reservation for four as we would need space for the kids. He then said they could have put us at another table, rather argumentatively. I asked if he was indirectly telling us we should move, and he responded with, “You should keep your eyes on the baby in the buggy.” This man was wearing a white button-down collared shirt, either very short hair or bald, and appeared to have an accent maybe Italian or Central/South American. Cannot be certain. We ate 21/05/24, reso @12:30pm. We would have walked out if it wasn’t pouring rain outside. Terribly rude. I don’t care if English was his second language or not, the verbiage wasn’t necessary. I’ll never return here again. Food mediocre.

My boyfriend and I turned up on a weekday evening to ask if they had a table without a reservation. The front of house (?owner) came over and said “ouch” about 15 times whilst he tried to find us a table. I said I didn’t mind sharing a table with others. He replied rude and sarcastically “what do you expect me to do with the people that have booked, darling?”. I was so shocked I didn’t know what to make of that. He continued to say “ouch” whilst he pretended to look for a space. My partner suggested perhaps we go somewhere else and he said rudely “I think you should darlings”. I felt so uncomfortable and awkward. I couldn’t work out if he was drunk or rude or just weird?! I’ve never felt like this in a restaurant. It was bizarre and odd. Would never go back!

Perfect cocktail menu, not too much but just enough choice and most popular. A nice selection of wines hy the glass. It was busy but a great atmosphere. Dogs are welcome too.

The birthday boy rightly raves at how wonderful this restaurant is. Bucci runs an authentic Italian restaurant, great food, friendly service, and buzzy atmosphere. If you are chilled out, visit to savour and enjoy. If you are nice to them, they will shower you with Italian charm.

The owner knew that two of the seven of us had birthdays; he totally ignored this fact, no fizz, no cupcake with candle, nothing. He compounded this failure by being very rude to several of us, telling two of us to ‘stop talking to each other’ and calling one of the party a rude name! The prices were extortionate (£430 for 7 of us, who mostly had starters only, and just three bottles for f wine). For all that the food was lovely (it needed to be) but we would not return.

Well the place was very nice & so was our table. BUT.. the ‘owner’ was extremely patronising & certainly a misogynist! He had no idea he was being rude to rock royalty Ginger Baker’s (Cream) daughter & John Coghlan’s (Status Quo) wife!! The two he picked out for uncalled for comments. Furthermore, no mention or concession was given to the two birthday girls in the party (Crab Shack recently gave free bottle of Prosecco & candle in a dessert). Some food ok .. tuna steak over cooked & too salty. Bill astronomical & not value for money. Furthermore, one toilet had no covering to the flush buttons leaving the workings exposed! Guys you’re in the King’s Road (& Eric Clapton lives opposite!) Disappointing.

Five of us went to Frantoio's for a Sunday birthday lunch. This was our first time here and certainly not out last! We were greeted as we walked in. We were seated on a round table by the window. The decor is pretty and light. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed. We ordered from the a la carte and lunch menu. On the table we already had water, bread sticks, olives and fresh bread in baskets. The food came out hot and timely. I had the spaghettini with tomatoes - a large portion of delicious pasta cooked to perfection! The rest of our group had a mixture of pasta, fish and meat dishes. The food was superb and so tasty. As this was a double birthday celebration the staff sang happy birthday and served us a profiterole birthday 'cake' with candles. A lovely touch. We weren't hurried, the atmosphere was very relaxed. The bill was mid price. Very good value for money. This restaurant is located on the King's Road nearer to World's End than Sloane Square. Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes! I will return to try out the rest of menu. A touch of Italy in the heart of Chelsea!

I went in to ask for a table for two and the waiter looked at me and said: “for you and me?”. I laughed awkwardly and moved on from that and he said the next table is in an hour so I said thanks and turned around to leave. Then the waiter said: “Will you come back? Love you baby” while biting his lower lip! I have no idea why I needed to be exposed to such disgusting behaviour in that 1-minute interaction but there’s definitely no way I would ever go to this restaurant after that.

I genuinely think that whoever has put good reviews for this place must be a good friend of the owner or never eaten a good Italian meal. This place used to be an affordable place, serving average/OK food. It has now been "gentrified" targeting a wealthier crowd. I'm OK with the change of direction but I expect to see an improvement of the food especially to justify the ridiculous prices. This place is a joke...£30 for a chicken escalope is just an example of the value for money you get. You won't see me again that's for sure. Wish you well

The food was quite nice but we felt that this restaurant doesn’t welcome Asians! My family and I (total 4 ppl) arrived at Zizzi (Earl’s Court) at around 6:45pm last Wednesday. The waiter at the entrance immediately told us the restaurant was full (when there were actually over 50% tables were available). I showed him my booking details and then he went inside to talk to another waitress and that waitress asked him to allocate us to the table which was the closest to the door (when there were other tables for four available at the inner part of the restaurant ). Ironically, as our seats were close to the entrance, we then noticed that when other diners (who were not Asians) came into the restaurant, the waiter/waitress greeted them and let them walk-in and no bookings were required! They didn’t tell any of them that the restaurant was full! Besides that, the staff even let other diners choose the table. We were extremely disappointed by such a big difference on the attitude towards us (Asians)! Really felt that this restaurant doesn’t welcome Asians. And sadly, this was not the first time we encountered such attitude here, but last time we just felt weird that the waiter insisted the restaurant was full when there were tables available. If we didn’t book the table, obviously we were not allowed to dine in this time!

Excellent food and good family service. The atmosphere was perhaps a little formal for a Chelsea lunch but nevertheless very charming. Set price lunch was not cheap, especially when you are charged a lot extra for things you like. However, quality was top notch and portions were about right. Wine was pricey as per most restaurants in London these days. There were, at least, some decent wines on the list which represented relative good value.
