L' Antipasto City Trattoria Pizzeria in City of London, Westminster

This restaurant we have been coming for years now Bit disappointed that the bruschetta was taken off the menu Food was cooked lovely but the potions have got smaller which was a bit of disappointing and prices have increased which is expected. Staff are lovely especially the two lovely ladies.

We were looking for some pizza for lunch having walked down to nearer the river after checking out of our hotel. We couldn't see much choice so decided to take a gamble on this place. It was quiet when we arrived which we were a bit hesitant about but we shouldn't have been. Both starter and main course were lovely, with the pizza being especially delicious and fresh. The service was great too, friendly and prompt. It was mid-range pricing but you expect that for right in the city like this. The only slight negative was someone at the table behind us speaking very loudly on their phone with the other person on speaker. Turns out they were part of the restaurant staff (potentially the owner) and I thought this was quite inconsiderate. Otherwise, a lovely little place off the beaten track.

love this restaurant! the service is soo quick despite the restaurant being full, and the servers are super friendly. the pasta is also amazing and 100% worth the price

We came here without a reservation and we were still accommodated by the friendly staff. This is a lovely cosy restaurant with an open kitchen and it has a really homely and authentic atmosphere. The staff were extremely attentive and service was swift and couldn’t fault anything. The food was very tasty with great choice including specials board. Would definitely visit again.

I called to reserve just an hour before we were planning to arrive having found this via a Google search of Italians near me (sorry TripAdvisor). We are staying at Tower Hill so it’s a 11 minute walk. And it was worth it. A warm welcome, three of us choosing dishes from the specials board, a prompt and very pleasant service, all made this a meal we were really impressed with. It’s just one street back off the main road but easy to find, easy to walk to and again, well worth it.

We came here when staying in the area a year ago and were back to try it again as we loved it last time. It didn't disappoint, there are always a selection of special starters and mains, as well as a fairly small A La Carte menu (which is always a good sign!) Food is cooked freshly in the Kitchen that is open to the restaurant, comes quickly, and is excellent. Try the Seafood Linguine or Risotto, both equally as good, and if there is the special of Lobster Ravioli that is a must! Two mains, four drinks and some olives to start (excellent!) came to £40 a head including service, which included the Lobster Ravioli at £25 so not bad value for this part of town.

Tucked away down a little alley, this was such a find. The staff were really friendly and the food superb. The pesto and mozzarella garlic bread is without a doubt the best garlic bread we've ever tasted. We had the crab linguine and the linguine campagna. Both freshly made and full of flavour. Thank you so much for fitting us in, you made our evening.

Despite not having a reservation we were quickly seated in this small and intimate restaurant. Between us we had a variety of dishes all of which were excellent . The pistachio lava cake was amazing - one of the best desserts I have ever had . The service was efficient , it is worth noting they added a 12.5% service charge to the bill and we were not a large group so I assume they do the same for all

Fabulous little Italian tucked away by Monument . Staying away solo with work I hate eating supper in my hotel bedroom so often venture out . This place looked so friendly and cosy - did not disappoint. I walked in without a booking and they could not have been more attentive . Didn't feel remotely out of place eating by myself and the food was delicious. I had palma ham / tomatoes to start , veal for mains - all scrumptious 😋

Came in without a reservation and got a table for two no problem, four drinks, a coffee, a sald and two mains came to £83 including service, mains were around £15-£16 and were excellent, really tasty seafood pasta!

Lovely little place tucked away off the Main Street near The Monument. Friendly staff, lovely ambiance and fantastic food. Very well priced for London. So pleased we searched for local restaurants on Google and located this one. Highly recommend the seafood linguine!

Lovely place that we stumbled across while wandering around the city. Friendly welcome. Pizza was amazing. We queried a couple of items on the menu but the issue was quickly resolved.

Came here for a catch-up with a former colleague over drinks and loved the place - great attentive service, excellent Aperol Spritz(es) and lovely house white wine, all topped off with some truly excellent olives. Heartily recommended.

What a wonderful find. Kids (11 & 13) were super tired and hungry after a fun packed morning so my clever 13yr old found this restaurant on trip advisor. It was absolutely perfect for us. We had a few surprises - the word 'city' in the name gave an impression of a huge hall like restaurant amongst the hustle and bustle of London. The reality was the opposite - this was small and cosy restaurant up a small lane. We were eating at an odd time so the restaurant was quiet but still serving. The kitchen area is open and part of the dining area which was amusing. We had three different pizza's and my daughter had the seafood pasta. They were all delicious. The second surprise was that our pizza's were spicy but for all of us, (including the 11 year old), this made the pizza's extra special. Apparently the spiciness was a mistake and mix up in the kitchen but despite the fact we were very happy with the pizza's, the owner insisted on giving us a free pudding. Excellent customer service even if it was unnecessary. I also enjoyed a couple of glasses of the delicious Sicilian House White. If we didn't have a show to go to I could quite happily have got stuck here for the evening :-) Highly recommend.

El local es muy bonito por fuera y por dentro. El servicio fue rápido y amable. En cuanto a la comida, además de buena, las cantidades fueron generosas (y eso es de agradecer). El único punto negativo (y por eso no le doy un 5/5) es que la gente hablaba muy fuerte y además, resonaba en todo el restaurante, y eso hacía que fuese algo complicado y molesto mantener una conversación.

Another amazing visit to this family run Resturant tucked out of the way. We were staying at the nearby Prem Inn and had to visit this most amazing Italian. Always the perfect combination of freshly home cooked Italian pizzas, pastas and risottos. If you are visiting this area during the week it is the place to go. Very rarely is it possible to find such good food with a fantastic atmosphere. Thank you

Kleines italienisches Lokal in der Nähe vom Monument. Freundlicher Service, sehr leckeres Essen. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert.

Superb superb superb. My goodness. This restaurant came on recommendation and no wonder why! Fantastic food, superb service, rustic setting. A total gem of a find . Highly recommend

Last minute booking at this place close to our hotel. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Food came promptly and was extremely good. Highlights were the linguine with a pistachio sauce and the tiramisu - amazing

The restaurant had a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by attentive staff, delicious food and tasteful decor. Our group had a mixture of pizza and pasta, all of which went down very well, with the homemade tiramisu being a personal highlight! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and return if I'm ever in the area again!

Excellent food and service. Highlight to calamari and lobster ravioli, it was perfect. Everything clean and nice place!!!

Amazing food, staff very friendly and nice and clean ambient. The bufula pizza and risotto seafood was really nice. The calamari as starter was the best choice, perfect calamari!!!

The food was AMAZING! I had the Rustica pizza and it was perfect :)) The wait staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was delightful. Bonus, they have outdoor seating! The only catch is it's a little pricey, but I would say it's...

Booked at short notice and what a find! Food and service was amazing! Definitely recommend. What a lovely little hidden gem 👌

Went here for a business lunch with a friend from the City. Service was good and the Pizza was excellent I ordered tiramisu for desert and it looked nice but was to creamy and I left half of it. No alcoholic flavour at all like...

Très bon resto italien un peu caché entre la city et tower hill. Pizza pasta et autres plats italiens, classiques...

Had a fantastic lunch with clients here - top service, a vibrant atmosphere, with a genuine Italian feel (understandably). I really loved the special of linguine with pistachio and king prawns, and the tiramisu was incredible.

I’m more than happy to admit that we’d had a couple of drinks before we went to this restaurant - and we were lucky to be seated because the place was packed. It’s a small place and i’d certainly recommend booking ahead for good, simple,...

Whenever I come down to London to visit my son who works in Fenchurch Street, we always end up at this restaurant in the evening on my insistence. Small and cosy, it had a great atmosphere last night with parties. We hadn’t booked so were...

ロンドン シティにあるリーズナブルで美味しいイタリアンです。噂は聞いてましたが、やっと行けました。 パスタも美味しかった...

What a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with friends. The food was out of this world wonderful. And the staff was so kind and friendly. I would love to return to this restaurant some and you should go today.

Apenas señalizado, no es fácil encontrar L'Antipasto, pero si necesita almorzar o cenar y está cerca, vale la pena intentar encontrar el restaurante. Hemos comido pasta, todos nosotros, cada vez que hemos estado comiendo allí, y cada vez que hemos estado muy contentos con la experiencia.

Trattoria encantadora escondida en la ciudad. Personal amable y atento con platos frescos de temporada. Deliciosas pizzas, pasta y especialidades diarias. La pizza de la casa estaba perfectamente preparada y presentada. Y la mejilla de buey con los espaguetis igualmente deliciosos. Buena carta de vinos para apoyar la comida y un ambiente encantador en el lugar.

Frische Zutaten, leckeres Essen, nettes und aufmerksames Personal! Man spüre allerdings besser einen Tisch buchen. Wir hatten Glück, alle nach uns leider nicht mehr. Das Lokal ist nicht sehr Groß!

My wife and I had booked a table at the nearby sky garden for a drink and I had a look online to see good rates restaurants nearby.

Något undangömd restaurang, ligger in i en gränd så lätt att man går förbi.

Ero in giro nella city di Londra per business, per caso sono capitato in questo ristorante un po' nascosto tra le vie e ho ordinato una pasta starter (spaghetti bolognese ai 4 formaggi) ed una pasta speciale: una Carbonara eccellente guarnita con un bel peperone verde!!! Mai mangiate paste come queste, erano buonissime!!!! Servizio eccellente mi sentivo meglio che a casa. E come ciliegina un tiramisù fatto dalla casa forse più buono che abbia mai mangiato in tutta la mia vita!!!!!!

Dashed in to get a meal We both had the tortellini with mushroom and bacon in a cream sauce It taster lovely, was served quickly Didn't really do it justice Would go back and make sufficient time to properly enjoy the food

Grandes platos de pasta aquí para hacer que vuelvas a probar más. Labio golpeando bien. Casi siempre elijo de la tabla de ofertas especiales, aunque el menú es extenso. El restaurante está escondido en un callejón, pero casi siempre está lleno en un día de la semana con personas que trabajan localmente (¡o simplemente que sepan!) Eso debería decir lo suficiente.

Monument駅からすぐ近く。ただし、小路にある店なので地図を良く見ることをお勧めします。店は気取らない、カジュアルな雰囲気で、とても美味しいです。友達と一緒にいくのがベスト。

I love the italian food. I went with my partner, and we ate pizzas and some fabulous spicy croquettes. The waiters very nice.

Nous sommes allés à Londres pour le nouvel an et nous recherchions un restaurant chaleureux à proximité de notre hôtel et nous avons eu le plaisir de trouver cet établissement. Nous avons été bien accueillis, la serveuse était discrète et avenante. Nous avons dégusté une cuisine italienne fine, traditionnelle, savoureuse, les pâtes al dente à la perfection. Quel plaisir pour les papilles! Nous étions hélas pressés et le service a été juste parfait, tout était dans la justesse, sans faux pas. Nous avons apprécié que l'on nous ouvre la porte au moment de partir, un geste élégant et courtois. Si vous cherchez un établissement calme où l'on déguste de vrais plats authentiques, vous serez on ne peut mieux à l'Antipasto City.

Great Italian food. Good pizza. Great food selections from the Black board which are not on the menu..

Muy aficionado a este restaurante. La calidad de la comida es generalmente buena pero variable. Es la variabilidad que lo defrauda. Visitamos alrededor de 10 veces y en 3 los estándares eran pobres. Un plato de porcelana blanca colocado sobre la mesa con verduras acababa de ser sacado del horno y cuando lo levanté me escaldé gravemente en la mano. Mi respuesta fue cortés que el personal debería advertir a los clientes si los artículos están muy calientes. El gerente fue entonces grosero con la camarera en mi presencia. En una segunda ocasión tuve una porción de pasta irónica y tuve que ir a Tesco para comprar un sándwich después. Se lo señalé a la camarera. Hoy comí tiras de carne y tres de ellas eran de grasa pura y los cortes restantes eran una mezcla de carne y grasa, muy poco filete. Le informé al gerente que no pagaría el 12. 5% de servicio en esta ocasión, que luego obtuvo la licencia para insultarme y me explicó que la carne tiene grasa y que si no estoy contento de no visitar su restaurante. Como chef entrenado, no necesito este tipo de rudeza y él debería aceptar comentarios cortésmente entregados.

Had a very nice meal here with a bottle of the house white wine (very good) - it was a place of calm after fighting our way through thousands of people around the Tower of London. Charming staff made it a very enjoyable meal out.

Visited this small but vibrant restaurant with three ex-colleagues for a catch up.

as a team building, project finishing treat 8 of us went to dinner here. all 8 ordered different food and all 8 have said we will go back.

Eaten here a few times and keep going back. Good food and fun atmosphere. Make sure you book early it is that popular

The food is really good and very accommodating for our seven year old who doesn’t really like meat. Great family meal had by all of us. Definitely recommend for young families (ours are five and seven).

We loved our evening meal here as a family. The food was superb authentic Italian and it had a lovely atmosphere, being reasonably small and busy and on a quiet back street. I had one of the specials - Tagliatelle Boar Ragu, which was excellent, as I'm told was the Lasagne and Pizzas. The Tiramisu was very good but the vanilla ice cream stole the show on the deserts front. The owner and waitress were really friendly and fun with the children. Portions were a good size and prices reasonable. We hope to return on a future visit to London.

This hole in the wall restaurant was simple yet cosy, with attentive staff and yummy pasta dishes. Prices were more reasonable than many others in London. Do note that they do not have baby high chairs or cushions for toddlers to sit on.

Simple, charming, and serving exquisite food prepared with clearly a lot of experience and care. A little tricky to find initially but worth every bit of effort. Make reservations or come early because there are only a handful of tables and the place is packed. Service was exceptional and every item we had off the daily board was divine. I can not recommend this gem too highly! I will SO be back!

Ho scelto di provare questo ristorante in quanto soggiornavo in un hotel della city.

The food was very good as well as service. What I don't like is hand written notes on the bill about added tip. I still believe that tips in good restaurants are voluntary.

After the expensive antipasti the gluten free option was a disappointment. The meal was tasty enough but the choice was limited - only penne. No gluten free pizzas.

A small, busy and informal Italian restaurant, with cafeteria style seating, set in an alleyway on the edge of the city. While you can walk in without a reservation, given the limited sating availability would recommend pre-booking. The menu provides a lot of food options, including daily specials and a range of pizzas. Table service is provided and it was attentive without being intrusive and despite being busy, we were not rushed to vacate our table. Meal portions were modest, but all food was well cooked and tasty.There was a good wine list and both food and wine prices, whilst not cheap, were reasonable for the City. Certainly worthy of a visit if seeking a family style Italian meal.

A homely restaurant hidden away in a narrow back alley in old London Town gives an authentic taste of Italy. It’s small, simple but busy and the food is magnificent and it’s like being welcomed into a family eaterie in Italy itself. The pasta dishes are terrific and clearly home-made. Even the salads are well presented. The lobster ravioli is a must. Check out the blackboard for specials too. You’ll enjoy a great meal and won’t have to pay full London prices for the privilege either.

Wauw, how could I ever describe this restaurant? It is so fancy but still not too expensive. The staff is amazing and the food, THE FOOD.. is delicious!

First things first : customer service? Booked for 7.30pm but family wanted to eat sooner. Can we sit down sooner I asked? Absolutely, no problem. And then the food. Only one cook when we arrived, but the dishes were cooked quickly and, my, how good they were : out came the burrata & caponata, the fig, parma ham & gorgonzola and the pizza bread and pesto & cheese sauce for starters. All cooked to perfection. Two carbonara's for my boys and a tagliatelle with king prawns and a pistachio sauce for me, and a spaghetti with clams and bottarga for my wife ( both specials ) and the standard was the same. Wonderful, fresh flavours. Add to that the excellent service and this place is a winner. Staying near Tower Hill in London and looking for authentic Sicilian/ Italian food? You'll find it here. A little bit of La Sicilia in The Big Smoke

This place is great! Pizza's just as I remember from living in Italy. Plenty for my 9 year to choose from. He thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did! Was a little bit pricey but definitely worth it. I would recommend this to all eater types. I am vegetarian and definitely spoilt for choice.

Gezellig, snelle en zeer vriendelijke bediening, lekker eten! Kortom, zeker de moeite om naar dit gezellige Italiaanse restaurant op zoek te gaan!

We are so glad that we found this restaurant on TripAdvisor. The vibe is good and relaxing. The pasta with seafood is great. The creamy prawn pasta is amazing! We really loved it!

I've been here by chance, the place is a bit hidden. But luckily I discovered it! Very fast service! (less than 5 minutes for an amazing pizza and a delicious pasta!!) The place was full of customers, smiling chefs and professional waitresses. The quality of food really rare to find, Italy! Highly recommended !!!

We wanted an Italian meal following a trip to the Sky Garden & this was rated highly on Trip Advisor. So we found it tucked away & as it was a Wednesday night we were seated straight away. This is a lovely, authentic place with a friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious & so filling... we had starters and main courses & were so full we couldn't look at puddings. We also had beer and wine & the total was approximately £65 which is brilliant for the centre of London. We will definitely go back

Dieses kleine Restaurant ist typisch italienisch. Auch das Personal kommt aus Italien. Man wird zuvorkommend und schnell bedient und das Essen ist so, wie man es von einem guten Italiener erwartet. Auch das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut. Eine Flasche Wein bekommt man schon für unter 20 GPB.

Je recommande ce restaurant pour la qualité de ses pizza. L'endroit est pétrin mais l'atmosphère est très agréables.

We were on a business trip and wanted a good Italian place to eat and based on the reviews tried this little hidden restaurant. The food was very tasty , the place authentic and the staff friendly and attentive. Prices reasonable given the quantity of the food, well recommended for a bit of authentic Italy .....

I've worked in the City for a number of years and can say that this is my favourite Italian restaurant within the square mile. Friendly, welcoming service, excellent food and wine, comfortable, relaxing atmosphere, and tucked away down a olde London cobbled alleyway. What more could you want. Highly highly highly recommended

My family and I were deeply pleased with this little gem tucked unassumingly behind a major street along a narrow walkway. The food was superb, the staff helpfully attentive, and ambience quietly relaxing. Please go and enjoy a fabulous evening!

ランチにしてはちょっと高いと思ったんですが、スペシャルメニューのエビとピスタチオのリングイネを頼みました（20ポンドくらい）。クリームソースにクラッシュしたピスタチオがたっぷり、濃厚でおいしかったです。

A fab find for a business lunch, and definitely relaxed enough for a visit with the family. Service was friendly and the menu varied, with generous and delicious portions. Would recommend.

Vine aquí después de ir en una excursión a pie, que era totalmente agotados, así que nos sentamos. El ambiente era muy cálido y cómodo, así que empecé a relajarse casi de inmediato.

Had a quick stop here with family. Ordered pizza tropicale, pizza antipasto and pizza margherita. All of thosr were really delicious. Service was friendly and fast

Llamamos en un miércoles y nos dieron una mesa enseguida. El menú era variado y teníamos entrantes y un plato principal. Toda la comida era excelente, bien cocinada y absolutamente deliciosa. El servicio era muy bueno. La única razón por la que no doy cinco estrellas era porque las mesas están demasiado cerca juntos. . . Aparte de eso, recomiendo encarecidamente.

Très bonnes pates, très bonne pizza, un service attentionné, rapide et chaleureux, resto au top ! Ne vous en faites pas

Beautiful place with a truly Italian atmosphere where you can have great food and conversation with friends in a relaxing environment

A little out of the way to find but one of my favorite Italian places in London. Fits for family visits as well as business meals and the staff does a great job of making you welcome. Their daily specials are always very good.

Buenisima comida italiana en la city. Metido en.un.callejon dificil de encontrar. Pero merece la pena. Una pasta espectacular y una pizza para chuparse los dedos. Muy bueno

This place is off the beaten path but has great food. I especially liked the octopus. My wife had the spaghetti carbonara and my son had the penne siciliana and the sauce was perfect. I tried theirs and both were cooked perfectly. They liked them as well. Went pack a couple of days latter and had pizza. Perfect. Worth the search

My favourite Italian restaurant in London. Great service great food truly excellent Always a treat always special Many thanks

I went to eat at l'antipasto on a quiet Wednesday night. I've decided to go for Carbonara, one of my favourite Italian dishes.

Visited for a dinner with a group of friends (about 10-12). I found the restaurant was small. Tables are small, almost not enough room for a big plate of food and not comfortable to eat.

Its a small out of the way restaurant. Food was good, not the best Italian but home made. The pesto pasta was very good. The recommended Sicilian red wine was superb for the modest price. Service was good.

I met a friend here for lunch recently (his choice of restaurant).

At first glance this place is great; cosy inviting decor, great menu, quality ambiance, good food and nice service staff - but the host was unnecessarily rude, not once but throughout our time. If he treats guests like that I hate to think how he treats staff. For me, disappointing, and would avoid as that behaviour just doesn’t warrant reward.

Lunched here with clients. Informal, tables close to each other.

Always book as can get busy. Good variety of specials and good traditional italian fare. Reasonably priced for th City.

店員さんが異常にフレンドリーなイタリアン。小道に入ったところにあるため店がわかりづらいですが、いつも賑わっています。ピザ、パスタ、リゾット、全て平均以上の味。ワインの種類も豊富。価格もこのエリアにしては安いです。オフィス街なので、夜はビジネス向け。

Almuerzo de trabajo. Antipasto ordenados.Misto cosa (básico) y ñoquis, decepcionante, ya no casera y con una salsa de tomate básica, esperaba más de una trattoria de la ciudad y el importe cargado.

Pequeño gran italiano. 5 minutos a pie del hotel Apex city. La comida era fantástica, a un precio razonable. Buen servicio también. Sin duda volveré.

Una comida italiana muy agradable y excelente servicio. Cerca del Monumento de incendio de Londres. Lo recomiendo como un lugar para comer si estás cerca.

This is based on more than one lunchtime visit in May.The restaurant is not very large but neither is the alley it is in.Customers are greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly.Drinks were served quickly both times as were the starters. Questions on the starters on the second visit were well answered.Main courses were well flavoured with good portions. The pizza was good.The staff remained on hand to help.I am going back to this place again.

We stumbled on L'Antipasto looking for somewhere to grab a bite of dinner. The server was terrific, recommended a wine that was not on their menu that was perfect, and the food was amazing and authentic Italian. We left there very happy!!

If you are looking for a proper genuine Italian food....AVOID this place! When u find cream in the pasta is the killing of Italian cuisine!! Past with seafood, the only taste you get is cream.....really disappointing for an Italian like me. None of the staff is italian...you can tell as they ask you if you want some parmesan in the sea food pasta!! Very very bad experience!

You need to look for this place. Its down a small alley that you would never find if it weren't for Google Maps.Simple Italian food like you would get in Italy - lots of daily specials, well prepared and efficiently served. Nothing special by way of surroundings but a friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit - we will be back again.
