Get the Focaccia in City of London, Westminster

Pedí de ellos en deliveroo y realmente disfruté de la comida. La pasta sabía increíble y también me puse la milanesa de pollo que realmente disfruté. Mejor, Darío

¡Mis amigos siempre me sugirieron que probara este pequeño "rincón italiano" y tengo que decir que fue una gran sorpresa! Personal amable, todo listo para conversar un poco y comida realmente buena (tuve una lasaña y pude probar calidad y frescura). Las raciones son realmente buenas! ! Después de mi comida, tomé un café y, como amante del café, tengo que decir que fue genial (me gusta el café fuerte). ¡REALMENTE RECOMENDADO! !

Solía parar en este lugar para almorzar casi todos los días, pero necesitaba publicar esto porque estoy realmente decepcionado. La calidad de la comida (aparentemente el chef ha cambiado) está por debajo de sus estándares habituales, especialmente la parmigiana, solía ser muy buena, pero últimamente es algo desordenado y tiene un sabor horrible (soy vegetariano) y una opción de pasta fresca ( ahora solo tienen algunos gnocci aburridos) Algunos de mis colegas también se quejan de la pasta horneada. Es realmente decepcionante para un buen lugar como ese con auténtica comida italiana y un muy buen café, tuvimos que ir a otro lugar.

Pidió un rollo de jamón y huevo. Tomó al menos 5 minutos para ser servido y luego me sirvieron el huevo escalfado más pequeño y seco y el rollo de tocino viejo que he visto. 3) 50, muy caro.

Vimos algunas críticas malas pero pensamos que era bueno. El tamaño de la porción era perfecto para el almuerzo. La comida estaba deliciosa. No me gustan los cuchillos y tenedores de plástico, pero a los precios está bien. Recomendado

Wandering aimlessly and found this hidden gem, large varied menu but Italian in focus and direction. Sizable portions, amiable staff, reasonably priced. Eat in or take out. I thing fancy about the the place but for good wholesome well prepared food, it 8s a winner. Large variety of salads, both with meat and or cheese or without both. Lasagna I had was as good as it gets, almost. You have to look for it halfway down Crown Passage. Close to Berry Bros. Shoppe.

Abbiamo fatto colazione con un’ottimo cappuccio e con torte fatte in casa. Poi abbiamo provato anche il pranzo: lasagne strepitose, tante insalate con farro, cous cous, eccc. E poi la torta di carote con crema al mascarpone.... unica!! Tutto fatto con ottimi ingredienti italiani, di qualità.

Portions have always been very very small. And this has getting worse lately. Today it was so ridiculously small that I went to ask whether it was actually a small or normal portion. Just to them a chance. They looked at it and considered it was a normal portion. They could have decided to be customer oriented and give me a tiny bit more to make me happy. And decided not to. Well they’ve just lost one regular customer. And two others who I get lunch with.

Just paid £7 for Pesto Lasagne - just horrible - tasteless - so heavy it was like glue - they did offer to refund which I declined.

FOOD WAS DRY. Pasta with no sauce for too much money. Tiny portions. TERRIBLE SERVICE. There was a lady in front of me that got extra food for free because she was "pretty", where as I (male) was not entitled to any such privileges.

Hemos venido cerca de Buckingham Palace y como se nos ha echo tarde, queríamos salir del paso pero sin ir a un restaurante caro. Pollo a la brasa con ensalada y pizza.. Buena calidad para el coste pagado.

Situated in a quiet backwater of a very expensive part of London this cafe is an unexpected finding and a haven to rest from the tiring streets. There is wide range salads on display and also Focaccia offerings. Maybe the paying system is a little overcomplicated and you have to be careful not to break the plastic knives on your food. I did not notice any rudeness or have to wait to be served. The salad was very good with the savoury Focaccia being typically Italian and tasty. So at around £10 for a very light lunch serving 2 this represents good value.

The portion of food is so little for the price. The staff are moody day in day out. Avoid it if and wherever possible.

Unbelievable how rude these people are. Their queuing system makes no sense, they charge a lot for what it is. People only go there because options are so limited and after my experience with the rudest waitress there today I will never be going back. The service is truly disgusting, so disappointing.

I've been going to this place regularly for years for lunch as I work around the corner. The service has always been bordering on rude with a very complicated queueing system, but I have put up with it. However, now the standard of the food has dropped significantly. I recently vouched for the mushroom and spinach pasta, which sounds lovely and I've had it before. Well, the pasta was very al-dente, and the sauce almost non-existent. If you scraped it all together, I doubt whether it would have made up one baby spinach leaf and half a mushroom. The whole thing was completely dry and inedible. At the prices they are charging it is a total rip off.

He comido aquí dos veces y la comida ha sido muy buena en ambas ocasiones. El sistema de cómo poner la comida y calentar, atroces y es ineficiente. Los precios son un poco elevados, pero que está en una ubicación fantástica justo cerca de la calle de James's Palace. Mesas limitadas, así que mejor para llevar.

Desde mi crítica negativa de noviembre de 2014 HE NOTADO muchas mejoras significativas en el lugar: en primer lugar una renovación a brille un (buen trabajo! En segundo lugar, el personal), es un buen montón de italianos amable. La variedad de la comida y la calidad ha mejorado enormemente. Desde la reforma y su reapertura, el lugar ha sido más concurrido que nunca y he vuelto muchas veces más. ¡Bien hecho!

Terrible queueing system, microwaved tasteless food. My risotto was one of the blandest, most pointless things I have eaten. Go anywhere else

Super chouette équipe italienne

not as good as it was a few years go before it closed for ages - pasta sauces are very average and expensive

Piccolo locale, accogliente e molto alla mano. Personale italiano sempre gentilissimo e pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta. Si respira aria...

Let's not over complicate your lunchtime - always have a chicken dish and you'll never be disappointed. Bear right to order it, take your slip of paper and pay at the back, then go to the side counter to collect. A bit eccentric but way...

The pasta is very good, and lots of Italians come here for lunch. It has perhaps London's worst ordering / queuing system. You are always, always standing in the wrong place. Get takeaway: the place is tiny and noisy.

I had been to my office in St James's and really wanted a quick healthy meal as opposed to a sandwich. I meandered down Crown Passage which runs from King Street (where Christie's is) to Pall Mall and headed here. I chose a chicken breast with spinach, green beans and carrots - there were potato options too. It is mainly used by office workers, but there are a few tables. You order your meal, are given a slip of paper and told to head to the till to pay. The meal then arrived on a tray with a drink - I opted as usual for tap water. OK, it is served on a paper plate and the cutlery and beaker is plastic and as 'à la Macdonalds', you have to tip the contents of the tray in the trash bin - but for a bill of £7.90 I can do that!!

Pequeña barra italiana para comer rapido: suele estar lleno de trabajadores de oficinas cercanas. Ofrecen tipos de lasaña acompañados de verduras al vapor que puedes elegir, es económico para la ciudad que es, y la comida y el producto destacan sobre la oferta existente.

Been in London many times for work and I can't miss the get the focaccia lunch.The food it is extremly tasting, reminds me italian holidays.Due my office hours I am always walking in a busy time but I always recive a great smile from the brunette girl close to the tills, after serverls times in the place, I knew her name, which is Chiara and she is simply is very welcoming and kind. Pleased to have met her, many times she made my busy days.James

We loved this little gem. It's easy to get swept into over priced and under whelming chains in central London at lunch so this place was really refreshing. My partner is Italian and loved the pasta- it was really good! I had a vegetable panini which was equally nice. Will defo go back. Also, lots of seats available as it's clearly a place for city workers to grab a take out rather than sit and enjoy.

Nel mese di Giugno mi sono recato in questo locale per un pranzo veloce ma di qualità.Ho mangiato un'insalata speciale composta da quinoa, ceci, avocado, fregola con agrumi, insalata di farro e pollo. Altri amici hanno mangiato una lasagna al pesto e una cotoletta e spezzatino.I prezzi sono modici per essere nella City.Personale italiano accogliente e disponibile che ci ha consigliato alcune attività ludiche e poco turistiche da fare a Londra.Consigliatissimo.

Sono andato a trovare degli amici e Londra e ho provato il main courses spezzatino con verdure e la cotoletta con le patate!Personale super gentile e disponibile!Da provare!

Been a regular client and I can assure you this is the best place for your lunch break. Although very busy at rush hour the staff is very attentive and manage to provide a personalised service. Worth of mention the managers Sauro and Chiara will make you feel welcomed and remember and acknowledge you if you had been there before! The food is super-fresh and always top quality. Would definitely recommend, perhaps try avoiding the rush hour. Best Italian espresso.

Un pranzetto veloce, buono ed economico. Piatti abbondanti e personale simpatico. Abbiamo mangiato solo il primo. In 4 abbiamo preso 3 primi e del secondo non ce ne stato bisogno perché ricchi di condimento in carne. Buono. Lo consigliamo

this place is quite local to my office so I've been there a few times but after my last visit I'm definitely not going back again. There's a young Italian girl who's constantly rude to customers and always miserable. She has been there for quite some time and I believe she's a manager or assistant manager which makes her behaviour even more unacceptable. This alone is a good enough reason not to bother with this place and to top that, the food is not very good either

Popped in for a girly catch-up with friends. Appreciate it as mid-afternoon however I don't expect the cake to taste as though it's been out on display for several days. Very dry, crusty and in desperate need of some buttercream icing to make it palatable. Canned drinks were also on the lukewarm side, despite being picked out of the chiller cabinet. Reasonably priced for the area, but quality definitely let it down.

just finished throwing up after having a pesto lasagna. don't know what else to say, will definitely not be going again

This place is dangerous if you work close by.. the most delicious authentic Italian salads and pasta dishes served fresh daily.. by Italians.. and lovely bread and coffees..

I have visited this place on many occasions and although the food is nice, the service from some of staff is what really lets this place down. Two women who have been working there for a long time are consistently miserable and rude towards customers. It is not the customers fault if you have mixed up orders and as a result stressed out.

While I like the food (I have tried good chicken Milanese and risotto), the menu seems to be perfectly engineered to extract the most of your money (not sure who the owners are). For example, staff are instructed not to serve more than "half a spoon" of grated cheese over the risotto - don't ask for more on your risotto because you will not get it. For an extra portion of grated cheese (the size of half an espresso coffee cup) pay an extra 30p. Very nice olive bread but sold for £2.50 which is a lot for bread even if with lots of olives. So I may go back but I will keep thinking what else they will want to charge me for! Expensive in the end for what it can be no more than a quick lunch so will keep looking around in the neighbourhood.

Small but perfectly formed Italian cafe serving excellent coffee and delicious Italian food. Very busy at lunch but worth the wait! The fresh pasta dishes are especially delicious!

Excellent place for lunch hidden down Crown Passage a step back in time just off Pall Mall. Excellent range of pasta and Italian dishes. The cakes and desserts are all homemade and amazing. The carrot cake with fresh orange juice topping is to die for.

Bonne adresse pour manger le midi, apparemment prisée des Londoniens qui travaillent dans le quartier - ils composaient la très grande majorité de la clientèle. Pâtes, pizzas, focaccias bien sûr, le tout bien servi, par un staff sympathique et à prix raisonnable ! Le cadre est agréable, et l'adresse bien située dans une petite ruelle pleine de charme.

The daily special (3 choices) with salad was very good. Pasta also good. Lasagna just ok. Fast friendly perfect for lunch in a hurry

I've been there few times in the past years and have to say that if you are looking to eat a genuine slice of pizza avoid this place as the quality of their ingredients is not very good. Also the place is very dark and does not inspire for cleaniness!

So my friends told me about this traditional Italian deli on Crown Passage by Green Park. It was impressed after having lunch here. It was quick, inexpensive, fresh and delicious. We all had something different so we could try each. The chicken Milanese was perfection and for only £7 with a side too. But everything was so fresh. Each day they have a different salad, pasta and soup and there usual menu on top, selection of sandwiches which are all made with fresh ingredients. I would definitely recommend if in the city.

lovely fresh cooked pasta but the cost is a bit too high I think if they dropped the price a bit they would see a much bigger uptake on this place. a lot of local Italians eat lunch there, always a good sign!

Seguendo una guida Touring affamati e stanchi dopo Buckingham Palace, ci avventuriamo in un vicolo stretto dove si affacciano mini tavole calde e self service. Entriamo e scopriamo che sono tutti italiani simpatici oltre a mangiare abbiamo fatto quattro chiacchiere su Londra pregi e difetti. Mangiato pasta fredda e una insalata di fagiolini e patate entrambe con variante di bacon (localizzazione di tipici piatti italiani) buoni abbondanti e in linea cin i prezzi londinesi.

I went there yesterday during my last day of holiday in London. Thanks God we found this place! We are Italians and it was sooooooo difficult to find REAL Italian food here (I mean, not being ridiculously expensive). Prices are nice, staff is even more nice (all of them being Italians they speak Italian but also English) and food is delicious. Pasta was well cooked and so the focaccia, the typical type of bread which gave the name. I give some +++ for the coffee: excellent! Definitely recommend to give it a try.

C'est un petit restaurant dans une petite rue en plein coeur de Londres, où les gens qui travaillent prennent des plats à emporter pour le midi, ils ont de la soupe, des pizzas ou des pâtes, c'est bon, pas cher, et ça va vite, on peut prendre à emporter mais il y a aussi quelques tables.

Nous allons souvent dans ce petit restaurant situé dans une rue vraiment mignonne près de la délégation du Québec. Avec une situation centrale (pour autant qu'on trouve), nous conseillons cet endroit à tous les visiteurs de Londres ayant besoin de restaurer à midi, rapidement, hors des sentiers battus, au calme et sans se ruiner.

I visited yesterday get the focaccia green park. I really enjoyed the mushroom pizza I took but the girl who served me was not kind and bored when I asked her to heat my pizza again.

The food here is OK - I had a salad and the people I was with had pizza and pasta. It's all nice and the staff are very friendly but I'm not that impressed that they can have a sit down, eat-in restaurant with not toilet. Not very convenient!

I regularly eat at the branch in Ludgate Hill - great, tasty food but can the managers please teach their workers basic ENGLISH!? The lack of understanding is an absolute joke, they hire people who can barely string a sentence together. Today I ordered a pasta, the man behind the counter could not understand the phrase "take out" and tried to serve me on a plate. He did not understand me when I asked clearly for the extra side of potato and green beans, which I did not realise when I got back to the office & saw that there was no extra on my pasta. I speak English VERY clearly, am completely fluently and speak slowly but still, they struggle! It is beyond a joke now, it makes ordering food very difficult and painstakingly slow. I understand that it is more authentic to hire Italians and perhaps they are cheaper to hire (let's be honest) but people in the City don't have time for slow service. Management, sort it out asap. Give them a list of common phrases, including Take Out, Take Away, Food To Go etc...

Popped in for a coffee and a sandwich or roll. Maybe they just serve pasta at lunchtime and mid-morning was the wrong time to go. They were open but did not have much food! Toast with jam, peanut butter and marmite I think and some pastries. Asked for coffee and a surly guy slopped two cups down. He noticed the spillage into the saucers but happily left it there and wandered off. I think the play on words for their name (silly and naughty like French Connection) says it all. Was a bit bemused and unhappy. Would not go again as there are choices around with staff who care and have some grub available too! Could not score on the food as did not see any and it might be OK when it's been boiled - so not fair to judge. Atmosphere gets average although the place looks quite nice the service did not help the atmosphere!

A work colleague introduced me to Get the Focaccia as a good place to have lunch while working in Central London. It is in an small side street off Pall Mall with many other eateries and up-market shops. Both décor and food are unpretentious as you will see from the menu on the web site, but the food is very good both taste and value and the place is always packed either eating in or waiting for a takeaway.

un saltino per un trancio di pizza o di focaccia ligure a londra? get the focaccio in un vicolino da film "crown passage" vicino alla casa della guardie della regina credete lo merita, personale italiano simpatico e cordiale.... il caffè....? espresso italiano ver!!!
