Il Posto in City of London, Westminster

Lovely restaurant, great food and service.

delicious food and great service

My son and I had a lovely evening at Il Posto. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is very warm and attentive. The food was outstanding – my Linguine alle Vongole was perfectly balanced and my son really enjoyed his Piccata Milanese. We will definitely come back when we come to London again.

The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive to details, and never intrusive. We didn’t have to wait long for our food at all. It’s a bit tricky for me to judge the dishes properly, as I’ve started the Easter fast, but even so, we found something suitable for me, and it was delicious. They also interact wonderfully with children, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Great authentic Italian restaurant. Friendly service. Quick but not rushed, food was incredibly tasty, had the bruschetta and buffalo pizza, wow.

Super friendly and delicious food 😍

I forgot to take pictures of our plates, but I had one of the best pasta and calamari of my life. The staff were fun and lovely, making the place even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a friendly and relaxed evening with friends, this is a great spot. It can get a bit crowded, so reservations might be a good idea, but the staff are accommodating and might still find you a table. Definitely worth the experience!

Tasty pizza, only certain pieces were burnt.

The food was absolutely delicious and super authentic. All the staff are super friendly would definitely come back here again x

Very good. Great pasta and pizza. Well placed

Food was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend if you are looking for true Italian with fresh ingredients.

This place is a hidden gem. The food, the staff and the atmosphere in this place is out of this world amazing. I came here with my daughter and from the moment we stepped inside this gem, we had the warmest of welcomes. The food was so good and the recommendation for the pudding was the best. Can't say enough for this place. You need to try it to believe it....

The starters were delicious that my appetite was ready for more. Main course just hit the spot. Over all experience is good. Staff are very friendly and well trained. I will come back for pasta and buratta salad.

It was a great experience. The food was delicious. Authentic Italian pizzas. Staff was very friendly and the place was very clean.

Beautiful and authentic restaurant. The best of Italian food and the service is great. Very friendly staff and the price is very reasonable. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Always come to il posto if I’m in Victoria! Quick service so a great stop before the theatre too and the food is beautiful - having spent 3 months living in Italy I can say this is proper Italian cuisine with super friendly staff!!

Simple, cozy place, with very well prepared pasta and first-class cuisine.

Best Lasagna I’ve ever had. We walked in looking for some good pizza. Boy were we surprised with the very prompt and friendly service. Then discovered how amazing the food was. Real authentic home made Italian food. Tiramisu was the best too. Such a great experience.

Dropped in without a booking, 50 mins before going to see wicked over the road. Managed to squeeze us in and we'll set up for quick service. Atmosphere was bustling, lots of energy and a fast paced environment, this may not suit everyone but was perfect for our needs. I ordered penne which was very nice. My wife ordered Lasagne, which she was enjoying until she got to the middle and it was cold, waiter quickly took this away and brought back the same dish several minutes later piping hot, so it had obviously just been thrown in the microwave. Tasty food, accommodating of last minute walk ins but slightly too rushed.

Brilliant place for a pre-theatre meal!

Good Italian restaurant with an extensive menu and recently refurbished.

La comida era increíble no esperar mucho y los desiertos estaba fuera de este mundo. El camarero era muy feliz y sonriente y no podía hacer más muy razonable precio

Amazing pizza and pasta dishes. Service was impeccable.

Charming staff, good food and very reasonable prices.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and all at reasonable prices, will definitely be back soon.

Good restaurant with nice Lasagna!

Perfect meal . Friendly Staff. Perfect location for Wicked the musical. Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely little Italian restaurant/café bang opposite the Apollo Theatre. For the heart of London, the prices are extremely reasonable, our total bill for two people, with two mains, 3 alcoholic drinks and one soft drink came to just under £60, and that included their service charge. If I had any criticism, it would be that occasionally we felt a little rushed, probably because they are so popular (and they do cram a lot of tables in) that they need to get people in and out as quicklyl as possible. The food itself was delicious, even though 4 of my mussel shells had no mussells inside! Definitely worth a visit.

Great pizzeria in Victoria. Excelente pizza and wine. Staff is very friendly and offers a superb service.

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food. We ordered the Carbonara and the Beef Lasagne. Both were delicious. Top score!

Very good food. Ordered the Carbonara and was not disappointed. Recommended!

Very nice place, impeccable service, Italian cuisine

The food is delicious, without a doubt I recommend this restaurant. It is also very well located, next to Victoria station

Lovely Italian gem, hidden away in a central location and perfect pre theatre. Really good value, and the service is top notch. And the pizzas are a very generous size 😊

me and my daughter visited this lovely restaurant and we really enjoyed our experience. Right from when we entered the restaurant we were greeted with warm welcomes and smiles from staff.Service was excellent and the staffs attention to detail was impeccable. The food came very quickly the carbonara was excellent and the seabass also. Our night was made when after i mentioned it was my daughter’s birthday the staff immediately jumped into action and helped to make her birthday extra special with a delicious chocolate dessert and very enthusiastic singing of happy birthday. I would highly recommend this family friendly comfortable restaurant to anyone.

Would give more stars if I could! Opposite the theatre, staff were amazing friendly and happy. If I could close my ears I could have sworn I was in Italy. Proper Italian food 😋 portions were just right and for London prices it's a steal!

One of the best Italian Pizzeria Hub in London their Pizza is delicious!! Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff members on. Close proximity to the theatre so perfect for meals around seeing shows, however, did get very busy around show times so would bear that in mind if planning to eat here.

Unfortunately I missed to take a picture - which I literally NEVER do. That alone already says a lot about this place, but in a good way 😉 Even though I’d be more than happy to provide you with a photo of this house’s own creation that will tickle your tastebuds and fill your tummy more than enough, the “Il Posto pizza”, I can only beg you to believe me: It’s been easily one of the loveliest, most delicious and charming restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. The team will do everything to ensure you have a good and cozy time. I’m still carrying a smile on my face because we had such a fantastic waiter whose name I - again - unfortunately forgot to ask because I was so in the moment. Thank you for making our visit such a memorable experience! Sending out digital hugs! PS: Bring cash if you want to - and you probably will (!) and you should - tip the waiters and waitresses. Still so incredibly sorry I didn’t have any with me…

The food is amazing, the staff is very kind. Will definitely visit again

Cute little find, not too far from the hustle and bustle and roomy inside. Quite a humble but clinical atmosphere with very friendly waiters and attentive staff. The food and drinks were delivered efficiently and tasted great. Would return!

Lovely atmosphere and amazing service from all the staff! Food was lovely and very fairly priced. Went there two days in a row because it was a very enjoyable experience.

What a gem! We visited Il Posto before going to the theatre a few days ago, and had a fantastic experience. We were greeted in such a friendly way, and the service was quick and thoughtful. The food was so authentically Italian and clearly made to a high standard, but extremely fairly priced. Will definitely visit again if we're ever back in the area!

thank you for an unforgettable evening with delicious food and warm 💚🤍❤️atmosphere in your restaurant. Had no reservation but get a warm welcome and nice table for us after 10 min.Great authentic selection of food,very delicious bruschetta as starter and incredible delicious with Italian passion❤️ made pizza for main. Don’t forget to name the warm and courteous service who dropped best Barrique Grappa from Bassano with the coffee. Great location close to Victoria station,opposite of Wicked Musical any right beside the Citizen M Hotel . Dining with Family hosting and unforgettable.

Amazing food, both in quality and quantity, nice and relaxed atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and efficient.

Excellent service our servers were very friendly and helpful. All pasta, salads and meat can be made gluten free, I had the pasta and it was very nice! Would definitely recommend.

Small hidden restaurant but highly recommended. Friendly waiters, delicious comfort, very good pizzas, 100% recommended, and there is a children's menu

Absolutely perfect, the best Italian dishes I have eaten in my entire life!! The servers are super friendly and the restaurant is a very typical small restaurant in Italy. The prices are more than fair considering the incredible dishes we ate. You can go there with your eyes closed!!

A little Italian break in this beautiful city of London. Excellent restaurant. I recommend

What a gem of a find directly opposite for our night at wicked the musical. The staff are so friendly and go above and beyond to help make your visit so enjoyable. The food was so delicious we all had something different and one of us is a chief who couldn’t praise the wild boar ravioli enough. Very reasonably priced would advise to book a table they were queuing out the door as we left

Always love going here, authentic and tasty food with very friendly and efficient staff!

An absolutely amazing experience, staff and food. This felt like a little piece of Italy in London. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by very friendly staff who welcomed us in and took us to our booked table even though we were a little early. The restaurant was well cleaned and the decor authentic, making it feel like we were back in Italy. Our table was clean and freshly prepared with clean cutlery and glasses. The server introduced himself and waited for us to get comfortable before providing menus and recommendations. There was many, but not an overwhelming amount, of options to choose from for both food and drinks. We shared a garlic pizza bread to start with which was freshly made and delicious on a soft yet crispy pizza base. For mains we had the tagliatelle alla bolognese and Margherita Pizza with fries to share. The food came out quite quickly, smelling and looking amazing. Both meals were delicious and without a fault. We looked over at other tables and saw equally delicious options of food. We wish we were in London longer to come back for another visit and to try something else! We were full from our starters and mains, but managed to squeeze in some ice cream that ended our meal perfectly. The bill was very reasonable and was worth every penny. When we left the staff thanked us and all said goodbye as we made our way to the door. The staff couldn’t have been any better and made the experience perfect along with the food. The restaurant is opposite Wicked’s theatre so we just had to cross the road after dinner to go to the show, it’s also near other theatres. I would highly recommend this place, and look to return next year if in London.

Small Italian restaurant in central London. We were served by a waiter who spoke Spanish who was very, very kind, friendly and charming. The service was very fast and the food was very good. For £78 three people ate, normal for London. The bathrooms are very nice and very clean. When we return to London, we will repeat.

Really awesome genuine italian experience, excellent service

We recently visited this restaurant, it was just amazing. It so happened that we booked this place by mistake, but still came, and we didn't regret it at all! The service is just wonderful, all the staff was very kind and friendly! The food was very tasty, the portions were huge! I want to go back to such places! Thank you very much for a great time and warm memories ❤️

My colleagues and I went for our team Christmas dinner Il Posto on 03/12/2024 and had a wonderful time. We all enjoyed our food and the service was excellent. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. Pooma

Absolute gem of a find. Food was supperb and the staff could not have been more friendly. Will 100% return when we are back visiting London!

The portions were big especially the starters, we had to ask for our remaining pasta for takeaway yet had room dessert and did not regret the food coma one bit.

The guys are very good, we were in London and out of four evenings we stayed with them three, excellent. It's not easy to find a place like this in a city like London. Congratulations

Very good Italian cuisine. The service was very kind and helpful 👍

We found ourselves having dinner in this restaurant by chance, we were fully satisfied, excellent quality food, Italian cuisine, you can find from pizza to stuffed pasta, second courses of meat, vegetables and salad, mixed cold cuts etc etc, all cooked to perfection. Congratulations to Francesco and all his staff for their welcome, professionalism and cleanliness, we will definitely see you again!

An excellent restaurant both for the quality of the food and for the friendliness of all the staff, congratulations for everything

Excellent place, food and service!! All very kind and nice guys. If we return to London we will return. Put the wood in the oven 😉👍👍👍

Food great, service very friendly and accommodating, If you want to eat good Italian food in London you definitely have to go there. We will definitely stop by again on our next trip to London

Very good Italian cuisine, top pizza, very kind and very friendly Italian staff.

Beautiful place with good food and friendly staff.

excellent food, drinks and service. definitely a place to visit if you are in the area! loved the red-haired lady and the barista

We had Minestrone soup, pizza and Brasola.. one of the best pizza's that we have.

Very lovely and professional waitress. The lady with red hair.

Good food, pizza but soggy/wet in the middle. Service was excellent. Great for a pre meal before Hamilton

I went there on a friend's recommendation and it was just that. Just a lot of quantity.

The food was so delicious!! The pasta especially was amazing, the texture was really well done and the sauce paired along perfectly. The waiter was SO SO SO nice, he smiled always and looked so happy all the time!! Really made my spirits go up too!! He also gave really good recommendations. Overall really great experience, highly recommend!

After a week of burgers, this Italian place run by Italians was a godsend, the food is really excellent and the guys are super helpful. We were served by Nello who was really friendly, thanks so much again! I highly recommend everyone to stop by!

Located near Victoria station. Small tables with just enough space - typical of restaurants in Rome for example -, simple table setup, very friendly, diligent staff with a perfect knowledge of what's going on in the kitchen. Traditional and carefully prepared menu with good product and very good cooking points. Delicious ravioli stuffed with wild boar, scampi risotto and I have no words for the wonderful panacotta with pistachios. Varied but simple wine list at good prices with glasses that could be improved. Excellent coffee.....all at reasonable prices, which is appreciated in this city

Authentic Italian restaurant, simple cuisine, top-notch lasagna. There is a children's menu with lots of choice.

Fantastic authentic food, with very pleasant service 👍🤗

Great restaurant, you can also pick up. Delicious lasagna and spaghetti!

Absolutely delicious! Warm welcome Perfect service We recommend 100%!!!

Great service and good food. Enough space inside for a big celebration.

It was very hot in this restaurant, I felt very squashed into my seat. The food was very average. The garlic bread was on the slightly burned side of well done! The wait staff forgot to bring/order one of our dishes.

Amazing restaurant to have authentic delicious italian food ! I would definitely go back, the service is amazing ! And the people there are super nice! Love it

Excellent pasta and even better customer service.

fast, clean, perfect and delicious, this is the best food you will find in London! It feels like being in Italy! The coffee is also great. 5 stars deserved

Nice restaurant, excellent service. Personally did not enjoy my meal, but I’ll just order something different next time!

Pizza We ate pizza at this place that does Italian food. Nice place and friendly staff. Recommended for everything.

Delicious food, from pasta to pizza 👍 The friendliness and hospitality of the staff is fantastic, particularly Nello. Highly recommended 💪

Good service. Good price. Very good food

This was the first time I had visited Il Posto with friends and we were not disappointed! We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and served quickly and efficiently. The food is excellent!! I had the sea bass fillets in the most gorgeous lemon sauce - and there was plenty of it!! My friends each had something different and were just as enthusiastic about their dishes. I followed with the tiramisu, a firm favourite of mine, which was very good. They also make an excellent Negroni cocktail! I will certainly be back very soon, introducing other of my friends to a great place in which to meet and eat!!!

Petite pizzeria très sympathique personnel au top d une très grande gentillesse et les pizzas un vrai délice on y retournera

Very nice waiting staff & food. Restaurant is not the cosiest. But the food totally makes up for that!

The ambience is very simple but the food and service are outstanding!!!!! People speak and cook Italian

Nice service and very funny interactions with the staff, but hidden higher service costs and constant turning of food and full observation throughout the meal. The food isn't great either and it's below average for the service costs.

Pasta was delicious. Kind, friendly and quick service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very authentic Italian! Would have just walked past it if it wasn't for the reviews! Absolutely can recommend. Really delicious

Great food, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. We love coming here and would recommend it if you wanted Italian food :)

We had the margherita pizza and lasagna per the host’s recommendation and both were fantastic. Our server was a chipper fella and awesome too!

Perfect Italian pizza, the food arrived quickly and they are good for the price. Good atmosphere and service. Here you get a lot of food for the money. Recommended

Nice restaurant, good food and amazing service. Very welcoming place and friendly staff. It’s a nice place to go after a day of work and enjoy a nice dinner and a glass of wine. I went a Thursday afternoon, after work, and it got quite busy in the evening. You could also make a reservation in advance or you could just show up at the restaurant. Also, groups of 10-15 people are allowed so you could even celebrate a birthday. I got impressed of the restaurant as I did not expect to be such a great place with great food and people. Highly recommended.

We couldn't eat in the pub because of the kids and went to Il Posto. We received a very warm welcome, the food and service were top. Gladly again, highly recommended also with children 👌

Very authentic Italian meal, staff were sooo friendly and funny. Really good food and fantastic service. Good price too- would definitely recommend. :)
