La Brasseria Milanese in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Arrived at just before 11 am on a sunny day. Plenty of free tables outside so we sat at one. Waitress came and curtly asked us if we had "registered" with the desk inside. Went in to register and asked if we could sit where we were in the shade. Told that wasnt possible. It was a table of four but plenty of twos were sat at larger tables. Told we would have to sit at a table for 2 in the sun. Couldn't move the chairs to avoid full sun. Treated as though we were too much trouble for them to bother so we left.

What a fun place for a good outdoor lunch. We had their lasagna and the Milanese salad - excellent setting, super food, friendly staff

This restaurant is very expensive and therefore the expectation would be for excellent food and service. However this is not the case. I ordered the LaB Milanese Salad which had a dressing that was simply whole grain mustard and far too much of it. I like mustard but frankly the salad leaves were so coated in it that it was inedible. My friend ordered fettuccine which was a chef special but when it came , it was a plate of spaghetti. I didn’t want to make a fuss at the time as my friend had booked the restaurant, but I did complain by email today and the manager that replied told me that he was assured that we had been told the fettuccine was finished and given a choice of spaghetti or linguine which is completely untrue. He also tells me that the chef always prepares his dressing this way and it was the usual amount which I find hard to believe as it was a mustard bath. There was no real effort to resolve this other than the offer of an aperitivo on the house on another occasion but I find this no compensation ( my food was inedible so I would have expected the refund at least on my meal) and anyway I will definitely not go to this restaurant again.

We were very pleased with excellent food from a menu with many authentic choices, a "buzzy" atmosphere with much local support (everyone seemed very happy) and above all by the delightful service team of hard working and attentive young people who clearly also enjoyed each other's company and backed each other up; we look forward to a return. Expect Marylebone prices however and try to go as a guest. (I cannot imagine what went wrong for some of your more dyspeptic customers).

Very overrated. Poor service and too expensive. Took ages to get a drink . Had to search for staff to take our order. When meal came took ages for the sides to arrive . Almost finished the mains. Will not be returning . Two people had two courses one had one course. 13% service charge total £180. Unacceptable

Very poor service due prejudiced management. 1. Sat outside and waited for ages to get menus. 2. Before this happened, I was asked if I could move to accommodate a couple... They spent about 1/4 of my final bill. Management, not waiters, wrongly assumed based on appearances. 5. Menus arrived after a very long wait, first requesting them before actually getting them. Waiters were doing their best, the 2 male managers were doing customer entertainment. 6. Placing a drink order took ages. When I had done so, I had chosen my meal but it took longer to place it. 7. Drinks and food were good. It's hard to enjoy after an hour of stress. 8. After paying, I went downstairs to the Gents and the floor was covered with urine I slipped. Back upstairs I informed the manager it was an accident waiting to happen. It needs reporting to the local Health and Safety executive.

This is at best indifferent; at worst, pretty poor. The service is slow, the food is underwhelming. I arrived ahead of my friend, was told to wait a moment before I could be seated, and waited for several minutes while various staff fluttered around ignoring me. My friend's meal looked ok, but mine, the carbonara, was not great: it was spaghetti swimming in what looked like a bright yellow custard, and it tasted oddly sharp. I left most of it. We then waited absolutely ages for our plates to be cleared despite waiting staff attending to tables either side of us, and then we had to grab a waitress to order a coffee a good 20 minutes after our plates were finally cleared because we weren't offered a pudding/coffee menu. Additionally, the ladies' loos were grim: there were only two cubicles, and the loo in one of them was completely blocked and really unpleasant. We won't be returning.

I had the most unpleasant spaghetti carbonara I've ever eaten: the nastiest meal in years. A glutinous mustard-coloured bacon-flavoured omelette/custard with a tangle of limp pasta curled in the middle of it. A small side salad was fine. The cappuccino was cold. A nice waitress though. The prices are pretty outrageous, even for Marylebone.

Always sets me on edge when a waiter doesn't write an order down. Messed up our whole breakfast. Made something easy look really hard because he didn't want to use a pad and paper! Had to return the gluten free meal as they had served us the wrong bread which could have been diasterous if we hadn't realised and my breakfast was all wrong and toast only arrived when I had waited so long for it I had picked my way through everything on my plate meanwhile. It isn't cheap and was supposed to be a treat for my daughter after a trip to Portland St Hospital sadly it made a difficult day worse.

The prices now are simply outrageous. Sparkling water £5, Bottle of Gavi di Batasiolo £50 - retail price £10-13 which was at best watery 12.5%. Pizza £17, Chicken salad £ 20 plus 13.5% service charge. Admittedly the whole of Marylebone High Street is way over the top but this restaurant is stretching it to the limit. Having said that, the restaurant is always surprisingly busy. Probably passable if your avoid buying drinks there and stick to tap water.

This restaurant is awful. The restaurant is expensive, they charge similar prices like the top restaurant in London but their food quality is very poor. I would never go back and please do your self a favour and not eat there. I gave 1 star as I had to.

Nourriture de mauvaise qualité à des prix trop élevés. C'est l'endroit typique qui trompe par son apparence. Personnel distrait et mauvaise orientation client!!!

Stopped here on our way past for lunch with my son. Had a lovely pizza, carpaccio of beef and a couple of drinks and one starter. Food was excellent as was the service. The only thing that was a bit of a surprise was the bill. Pizza and a starter and two non alcoholic drinks should never come to £74. But other than that it was perfect and we would return. My son said it was as good as his Italian grandmothers so that speaks volumes.

Great breakfast. Poached eggs were perfect (quite risky in a restaurant) and the best granola berry combination I’ve had in a long time. Had to share, the portion was so large. Cheerful welcoming staff. Good coffee too. Tap water brought to the table immediately which is not very common. Will be back!

I was surprised to read such poor reviews of this place as we visited for the second time recently. We had some good food and good service. However, when the bill came, we had been charged £4.50 for something which we had understood to be a small substitution for a dessert sauce that my husband does not like. We were charged this for a small scoop of ice cream, when no extra charge had been mentioned for this substitution, and nowhere on the dessert menu was there even a mention of this cost. To be fair, the manager removed the charge but said in a rather threatening way that we would have to pay 'next time', to which we could only say that 'there won't be a next time.' Sad that a pleasant evening meal, which we had enjoyed, and which ended up costing us nearly £150 for two, was ended in this way.

Not sure why I ended up here for lunch. I think it was because they had a good dog policy, which as it turns out is the only redeeming feature. The first warning sign was the response to an enquiry about the risotto. “Is this cooked from scratch?” My friend enquired. The answer “no, the rice is precooked.” Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised, but at these prices at least the dish should be cooked from scratch. Anyway, the Cololetta Alla Milanese was dry, under seasoned and probably precooked. The menu description of the accompaniment of roasted cherry tomato and rocket was completely accurate - note no plural on the “tomato”. My friend ordered the “house speciality” Little Italy Chicken Parm after dodging the risotto bullet. Unfortunately the kitchen had two bullets and the second one hit the mark. Dry breaded chicken in a bland tomato sauce with a single slice of aubergine - as with the cherry tomato, you must assume the words used on the menu are literal. Service was fine. We will not be back.

Highly disappointed. Bitter sweet chaos from the staff.. We wanted the Christmas menu, but didnot get it. Went as Christmas treat, Dont they get that! and expensive for what it was, a light lunch..won't go again.

A fast food Italian restaurant promoted as of high quality but it is definitely not… High prices, bad quality. More detailed, Pasta not al dente, small plates, poor service. In the past was good however now I would definitely not recommend….

Initially our experience of this restaurant was very positive, with prompt and friendly service. Great wine. I ordered a cheese omelette with fries and salad. The omelette was overcooked and slightly burnt, very little cheese and a couple of mushrooms. The fries were cold and overcooked, making them hard to eat. The salad was sliced lettuce and 3 baby tomatoes!!!! Initially I didn’t complain as I just wanted to eat lunch peacefully. Just as we were leaving the patron on the next table was served the same lunch. It was very different, no burnt omelette, the cheese was visible, fries were great and the salad was more than just lettuce!!! When I spoke to the manager he said nothing he could do as the bill was paid, offered us coffee and said it was unfortunate that we came in at a busy time. How can 2 meals be so different!!! Definitely not recommended and make sure you send your meal back if it’s cold!!! Disappointing

Nice, Italian restaurant, specialist in disorganization in the kitchen. Dishes that arrive following random orders and forcing guests at the same table into solitary dinner situations or, on the contrary, finding all the dishes at the same time. Positive note, although the pizza is the same size as a wristwatch with a price double that of the Italian one, the dough is very good

Came from a nearby clinic and wanted to lunch at Fischers but unfortunately they were unable to accommodate us so walking down the High Street this looked to be a useful alternative. Greeted by an overbearing manager who had all the charm of a hyena, we were quickly taken downstairs as at our advanced ages our faces probably didn’t fit on the ground floor Wife had an overpriced lemon sole which came with no sides whatsoever and I chose the chicken Milanese salad comprising overcooked bits of chicken with some lettuce and Parmesan. Requested a dessert menu where we spied that a 15% discretionary service charge would be added to the already overpriced bill whereupon we decided to leave and proffered 10% service to reflect the slow service from a totally disinterested waitress. The manager then showed himself and no doubt to show their independence said they had removed the service charge totally, An altogether unpleasant meal

Although the pancakes were good, the hollandaise sauce on the eggs royale was the worst I’ve ever had in my life. It ruined the whole experience

The food was delicious the staff where very attentive but relaxed and friendly and we were a family group of 8 and everyone had a great meal. I’m surprised by some of the other reviews here as everyone around us seemed to be having a super time.

Myself and 3 work colleagues stopped past to get food, they gave us a table quickly which was great but it all went down hill from there. We was seated at one of the cave styled seating areas which did feel more special but from there we was left for about 30 mins until anyone came back over to take food or drink orders. Sadly to our disappointment the itilian restaurant did not have pizza , which we were all looking to order…. Maybe this could have been mentored to us when being greeted at the door as we likely would have changed our minds at that point, however we where now 30 mins waiting so we felt we needed to stick it out. The food then took an additional 50 mins and honestly was nothing special maybe 2/5 quality, chips were poor. The service , no one had a smile on their face and generally didn’t feel like a friendly / happy environment.

Absolutely dreadful - Avoid. Worst pizza I have ever had, service poor prices high. London has so much better.

Good, not great. Decent salads, decent varied pasta dishes. Also expensive for what it offers. I can't say this place is anything special.

Breakfast was very good but they forgot my toast did tell one of the staff but still didn’t received it.The place itself was very nice but some of the staff weren’t that friendly .Also be aware of the service charge

The location is so nice with lots of outdoor seating, the interior looks lovely and the suited waiting staff make you think the service will be professional. Our visit was a real disappointment. Haphazard service, long waits, wrong menus given and then taken away, and...

Lovely friendly staff, but poor food. The lasagne was a small square of unpleasnt looking, re heated mush. Not worth eating. A not nice, expensive meal. The restaurant looks great, but it shows how deceptive looks can me.

Had the much lauded, according to the menu chicken salad. Chicken dry and way over cooked. Childish serving of cos lettuce. Cut by blind man with blunt scissors. Dressing poor and a few strands of parmesan. Chips bland, cold and hard. Superfood salad just couldnt...

I came here to have a coffee on Sunday morning. A table for two was available for me. Until I said it would just be coffee. Then the female manager with fake eyelashes booted me out. I explained my Mum is dying in hospital round...

Held a business meeting here today. Arrived and was sat outside on a table for two. The sun was strong and splitting through the parasol and we asked to move to another table. I burn very quickly. The supervisor came to the table and couldn’t...

Sunny August Tuesday afternoon, we were lured by the al fresco, pavement dining in a lovely locality. Sadly the dining experience nowhere near matched the location and appeal of the menu. My wife’s battered calamari looked anaemic and was chewy, and my tuna tartare was...

Fantastic welcoming staff and great food and generous portions.... It has London prices but as its in central London you expect that..

We were so excited to try this restaurant no only for it's gluten free pasta but its gluten free pizza. Everything was amazing-- the staff, decor and dishes. The pastas were delicious and they made the steak tartare table side with just the right ingredients....

Thank you La Brasseria for a friendly welcome, I booked online for a lunchtime brunch as a birthday treat. Couldn’t have chosen a better setting and menu to suit all at a reasonable price. Attentive welcoming staff that interacted in a lovely way with my...

Was terrible quality and overpriced, it's a liberty as this place is right next to madame tussauds, tiny portions and very low grade

Its a pefectly ok restaurant, service is fine but not polished. The food is basic and nothing to complain about but nothing to write home about either. The prices are very high and 15% (18% including VAT) service charge is really over the top. I...

Service in this family-owned restaurant is cheerfully welcoming and brisk, contributing to a relaxed informal environment. The food is authentic Italian - fresh, rich, flavoursome. Good range of wines and other beverages.

First of all we like this place due to the location of it on the high street. However today, the front of house manager was so rude to us when we appeared at the check in to the restaurant, I will not be going back....

We’ve had breakfast here several time before. It’s pleasant to sit outside in the nice weather. The breakfasts are great portions and the bacon is lovely with lots of it. Good quality sausages. Beautiful yellow-yolk eggs like they say are very tasty and rich. Very...

My daughter and I fancied an italian meal. We were staying in Marylebone area and spotted this restaurant which looked really nice. Unfortunately we didn’t have any service on our phone to read Trip Advisor reviews which we would normally do. Anyway the menu seemed...

This was our first visit to Marylebone High Street and we were so pleased we chose to dine in this restaurant. From start to finish we were impressed by the attentive service and the quality of food. We will visit again when back in London.

Four of us visited the Brasseria for brunch at 11:30 am this morning. Looking forward to seat in the outdoor area to enjoy an Italian coffe while waiting for two friends to join us. The coffee was for one quarter spilled on the saucer and...

Super rude restaurant manager, disappointed overall. Dish arrived raw, new dish arrived in 20 mins, no discount from manager and very rude attitude

We had lunch upstairs. Great decor and atmosphere, the website photo doesn’t do it justice. I had the House Classic Chicken Parm with the crispiest Zucchini and French fries. The Carpaccio starter, finishing with a crème caramel and coffee. Fabulous !

This is one of the best spots for al fresco dining after a walk around Marylebone Parish Church. Everything was absolutely great, including the food, service, and atmosphere. The servers made us feel perfectly at home.Their Taglierini pasta was amazing along with the rest of...

I have eaten here many times. Some of the waiting staff are a bit raw however the food is generally very good and comes out quickly. Best dishes: Fish (sometimes under done but far better than over). Most pastas. Desserts. Worst: Lasagne ( a thick...

I've been in London for a few days for work and yesterday I wanted to taste the Italian cuisine they serve in the city. I was inspired by this place with an external sign, typical of a proper brasserie. The restaurant inside is very warm...

A dinner with my daughter to enjoy a real cotoletta milanese in London. Unfortunately our expectation was barely addressed by an unsalted veal escalope, not completely cooked, even if well presented but totally far away from a real cotoletta. In addition to this, the restaurant...

This is a "smart" Italian" restaurant in a very expensive location so it is not surprising that their prices reflect that. Unfortunately they are let down by poor service and very ordinary food - both very unusual in an Italian eatery. The plates were over-complicated:...

I use this restaurant for business breakfasts, working lunches and family dinners - it never fails to deliver. To quote my publisher: do we need an excuse to come back? Well, no, Hermione, we don’t.

Went for early dinner and the service was bad. Most of the staff seemed disinterested and we seemed forgotten about and kept having to get staff’s attention. Restaurant was very quiet too so we didn’t understand why service was so slow. There seemed enough staff...

Tasty breakfast and very friendly service, nice athmosphere, great location. Excellent coffee ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Ignored when we arrived. At one point there were more staff than customers. Eye-watering prices which I would have gladly paid had the meal and experience been worth it. It wasn’t. Food bland and not very exciting. Very little else to say.

Wow what can we say id would of rather had a sandwich from m and s Tastless Had the lasagne and a ragu Both tastless and and Go elsewhere and save your money Go round the corner to the Italians a differant class

We visited as a small group of friends and the overall experience was poor. The three of us rarely complain but felt we had to do so on this occasion. Firstly the coffee that was ordered did not arrive and went “missing”. After asking several...

Few weeks ago, after a dental visit my carer and I wanted a quick coffee. We sat at outside tables as I was in a wheelchair. The tables were shaded and there was no indication that the section was closed. We were completely ignored. A...

We live (some of the time) in Marylebone, 5 minutes from La Brasseria. It has been a long-standing favourite of many locals (including my family), because it achieves a reasonably high-end bistro experience - both in terms of food and ambience - without any of...

This is my favourite restaurant in Marylebone and living round the corner we use it a lot. I’m a bit shocked by our experience there today however. I like to think I am a realistic customer and understand what it’s like to run a restaurant....

The old all saints which spans three retail units. Good interior albeit quite boiler plate. Staff are attentive and keen. Food is dire. Bordeaux by the glass? No. Sauces for the incredibly dry veal milanese? No. Bread for the tartare, sort of. Prices are equivalent...

It really is terrible. No service, no control of timetables or reservations. Food when it arrives is haphazard and of poor quality. Absolutely refuse to ever go again. Definitely the worst restaurant in the Marylebone area.

We were there with a group of 7. Our table wad quite isolated. Service was smooth and efficient. Food was good. Try the advocato with crab. It is excellent. Wine card is quite expensive but very good choices.

Have read some negative review however not my experience. We didn't book, the restaurant was very busy although we managed to get a table. The service was quick efficient and friendly. We enjoyed our lunch time break in the sum with a glass of vine....

I reserved one week before for a lunch meeting to find out that only table available was either on the lower ground floor or on the terrace and only on tables that they would assign to you. Take it or leave it! The host claimed...

We came to the restaurant for a special occasion, we'd booked a table for 5 weeks in advance and were squished onto a table laid for 4. The service throughout the meal was sub standard despite a lot of staff being present. We had to...

Great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff! Would definitely recommend, we had an excellent time!

I don’t know why the place has gone so downhill. Service was absolutely awful. Ordered water and some other drinks which never arrived, took ages for the staff to bring anything. Slow, painful service. Food has gone downhill. Tasteless and undercooked. Won’t be going back.

My favorite place to be when I am in Marleybone. Love the staff and there Milanese, try zucchini fritti and calves liver

We had a lovely brunch here with my family. Everything was so delicious and tasty our kids had been happy to. We definitely go back.

I had very weak tea and what can only be described as thin gruel for £7. If you want berries in your ‘porridge’ it’s another £3. I didn’t want them but they came anyway and I sent them back, only to be charged for them....

This is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Marylebone. From the moment that you arrive to the time that you leave, the service is impeccable. Food was divine. Hard to find Italian food like that in London .

Mediocre, expensive food, like going back to the 80s with a 2022 price tag. Bloody Mary, bloody awful more like. £75 for brunch for 2. Avoid!

Stopped for lunch. Was seated in the downstairs dining room. It was immediately clear that there were a few diners who were not happy with the service they were NOT getting. After a while it became clear that the abrasive head waitress was clueless. She...

I haven’t tried every dish, but food in this restaurant is more akin to cheap trattorias in Italy than a posh London restaurant. The only difference compared to a trattoria are the portions (disappointingly too small for main courses -save for the large veal Milanese)...

I went for dinner to La Brasseria on my birthday with friends and really enjoyed the night. Food was nice, cozy atmosphere and staff made my night special, even singing me happy birthday. Francesco couldn't have treated us better giving us food and wine advise,...

I went there for a dinner and it was really nice! I would definitely recommend the tagliolini with prawns, if you don’t eat meat.

We spent a lovely lunch here . Food was so tasty and well cooked. Our waitress is been very quick and kind. Lovely place for a sunny day.

I didn't think I could find such an Italian restaurant in London. A wonderful place in the heart of marylebone serving typical Italian dishes in a modern way. the service is discreet and kind with a good wine list. worth the visit.

Lovely place and the food was really good. I recommend it to everyone who wanna chill with friends. And the service was amazing so I would be back again 🤩

Real Italian dishes. in a nice and quiet area of ​​London. I will definitely stay there again. Fresh and good quality food. Very nice and kind staff.

Best Italian restaurant outside Italy by far. I've been here and had a great food experience. Starting with the superb scallops continuing with the delicious taglierini gamberi and ending with the dessert espresso Martini (wow). Can't wait to come back here on my next visit...

Visited for lunch with some friends. Ordered the super food salad which came and it was just ingredients cut up and placed on the plate in groups - nothing was mixed together and there was no dressing. No effort at all had been put in...

Cool vibes, nice staff and great "malbech". This place is a must in Marylebone. Run by hungry Italians who want their business to succeed.

Been going to this restaurant for a long time the lobster spaghetti has been a generous helping of pasta and lobster. Went 14/12 asked for shell cutters but they weren’t needed I had three mouthfuls of lobster showed owner my picture of the lobster portion...

Good service, warm welcome, Italian humour with decent food on a work day lunch. Colleague visiting from abroad and praised the food and location. Very convenient. Reasonable prices. Good choice of food.

Maybe our choices were not their best dishes but our meal was just very basic with little love or thought. Our side of broccoli was literally just boiled no seasoning and a bit mushy, the burrata- was good quality but served on a single sliced...

Well is the best place to enjoy . Grace how was server me the best one ! He was server me so fast and he also is so polite

Perfectly located in the bustling Marylebone district - a Sunday lunch was underwhelming. Food was acceptable but bland - spicy pasta lacked spice and fried courgettes were soggy. Biggest disappointment was service which was just plain sloppy. Multiple waiters appeared and disappeared. In fairness restaurant...

We wandered in here after our first choice restaurant turned out to be full, and the meal was good, with a couple of exceptions. We ate outside on a beautiful evening when the place was very busy. For us the best of the food was...

Love coming to this local restaurant the food is excellent and the staff very professional. They now have new dishes on their menu like grilled octopus, melanzane balls . Highly recommended

We have been at this hidden gem on Saturday even though it was busy they were very efficient. The parmigiana was one of the best in my life! My sister had the tagliolini prawns and she was very happy with it. We finish with the...

Lovely restaurant on Marylebone Lane. Weather was shining at lunch time so we sat outside. We both had pasta mains which were delicious accompanied with a great bottle of wine. Great service with very friendly staff. A lovely find and look forward to booking again

Popped in as pouring with rain outside and so glad we did! Lovely calamari, pizzas and tiramisu- all washed down with a great bottle of House red. We found the staff to be friendly and attentive and would recommend this restaurant.

An insult to Italian cuisine. Started with a couple of second rate pizzas, followed by 4 of 6 mains completely wrong. Soggy spaghetti, Veal Cotoletta was just a lump of grizzly fatty indigestible third grade crap you would find in the reject trash bin of...
