La Pietra Soho in City of London, Westminster

Hace algún tiempo, cenamos en La Pietra durante nuestro viaje a la ciudad de Londres. El chef hizo que pasáramos una noche inolvidable. La comida era fresca y muy sabrosa. Disfrutamos de un mezclado chapada con embutidos, diferentes pastas y algunos postres. Sin duda recomiendo este restaurante a cualquiera que visite Londres.

Visto che ci trovavamo nella zona di so e volevamo cercare un ristorante italiano ci siamo imbattuti in questo ristorante e attratti dalle recensioni positive siamo entrati. Innanzitutto mi sembra paradossale che in un ristorante italiano non ci sia nulla di italiano al di fuori dell' Acqua Panna, naturalmente la cameriera non era italiana non parlava italiano e il Cuochi erano tutto fuorché italiani. Abbiamo preso un risotto la pietra che era discreto anche se per lo standard di risotti italiani era un po' troppo speziato è una pizza con mozzarella di bufala dove la pasta era un po' pesante ma il problema grosso è che non si fa la pizza con la mozzarella di bufala dove viene messa al posto della mozzarella del formaggio fuso e poi buttata sulla pizza qualche fetta di bufala a crudo. I prezzi sono in linea con quelli di Londra. Sicuramente se cercassi un ristorante italiano non ci tornerei.

Ci siamo stati stasera. Io ho mangiato gnocchi pesto e pollo ... una delizia! Il testo della famiglia la pizza ottima veramente. Locale tranquillo dove riesci a sentire chi parla con te senza musica assordante. Un ambiente rilassato, buon cibo, personale attento al cliente. Consigliatissimo.

This place really met expectations according to the previous reviews; as simple as that. Although a bit hidden down the alley, it was a great location.

Nice decor, good food, family of 4 enjoyed it 😊 Thank you for the recommendations - I would recommend it tooo!

Me fui con dos amigos una noche de sábado en enero, y ws una delicia. El restaurante es bastante pequeño y pintoresco, que diría también hace un buen restaurante de fecha. El servicio era fantástico y muy amable. Tomamos cócteles que eran divinos!!

The pasta was amazing, the cosmopolitan was great and the tiramisu was wonderful. Service was friendly. Loved it :-)

Went there for a lunch today. The place has a lovely atmosphere and the food was great. Got a lamb bolognese and a glass of wine for £10 :)

Nos fuimos al restaurante el viernes Santo sin hacer por adelantado.

Me llevó a un grupo de 5 por mi cumpleaños anoche y me quedé muy impresionado. La comida era muy buena, tuve Gnocchi y estaba delicioso, otras personas las pastas de pizza - todo fue genial! Vino y aceitunas también muy bueno. Charlamos con el chef, bebimos limoncello y comimos mucho desierto. El personal era encantador, el ambiente era relajado y divertido, no estaba demasiado ocupado (una rareza en miércoles por la noche en Soho), y no muy caro. Una experiencia italiana genuina y una auténtica gozada. Volveré! x

I was looking to eat a pizza prior to a cinema visit in Leicester Square and thought I’d wander round Soho and just pick somewhere on impulse. La Pietra seemed quite a smart place.The pizza diavola (spicy sausage and gorgonzola) was really tasty and perfectly cooked. The tiramisu was competent if a little less sweet than I prefer. It came in a stoppered glass jar, which I have never seen before. I asked for tap water to drink which they gave me with no problem.The bill including service was £17.77, not bad for that part of town and as I said I really enjoyed the food. La Pietra is a full restaurant too and there is another one in Spitalfields which I might try some time.

Piatti squisiti,vini speciali,atmosfera piacevole,nascosto e tranquillo...tutto questo a pochi passi da Piccadilly Circus!

I walked past and I liked the environment, so, I've decided have a cocktail since they offer complimentary food as well with any cocktail. I ordered a 'Dry Martini' with Gin and olive. I got a glass of vermouth (Dry Martini brand) and a huge portion of olives (luckily I didn't get a gin too). When I said politely to the waitress what I asked for she said that they don't do something like this, although it's in their menu as 'Gin/Vodka Martini'. When I pointed out the drink in the menu she was rude and said that I should have asked her for a gin martini and she is not a bar tender to know what a dry martini is. After all she made me a gin martini which was a double measure of gin and a measure of vermouth!! Totally disappointed. Additionally, I didn't get any complementary food as the gin martini is not a cocktail!!

We booked for dinner on Valentine's Day. Easy to get in and now we know why. The quality of the food was poor. We were placed in a windowless downstairs area that was poorly decorated and dingy.With all the restaurants in Soho you would want to walk past this one and try another. The other ratings are misleading in our view and we used those to choose this restaurant. Be warned!

Sono stata in questo posto giorno 8 Febbraio incentivata dalle recensioni di TA e sono rimasta soddisfatta, la cortesia del personale é stupefacente e la pizza molto buona....

O restaurante tem um óptimo aspecto e um óptimo ambiente. As entradas estavam óptimas mas as pizzas estavam muito a desejar para um sitio como este! O atendimento ficou a desejar, visto que a certa altura estavam á nossa frente á espera que nós disséssemos que queríamos ir embora e eram apenas 22h00 numa quinta feira! Sinceramente achei caro para o que foi.

We ate here for a friend's birthday and feel like we received star treatment. On top of our great value meals we received birthday cake and limoncello on the house! The wait staff could not have been friendlier, and really made us feel welcome. Top points! Oh and the moscato is one of the best we've ever had. Highly recommended!

Really nice restaurant. If you are in the busy Picadilly circus walk 5 minutes and you will find this restaurant in a remote street. The food is excellent at a very good price for quality/ location.I recommend it 100/100

This was my 5th visit to La Pietra, and every time it never disappoints!Been with friends and work colleagues, and had pizza, pasta, puddings, coffee and wine.Went today and the lovely chef gave us Limoncello on the house and great service and banter. Will be back again!

These Italian Restaurant is serving a very good pizza, the service is also good, maybe the prices are a little high.

Ho cenato in questo ristorante spinto dalle ottime recensioni lette su TripAdvisor e devo dire che sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso. Locale piccolo ma molto elegante. Personale cordiale e servizio ottimo! Gli antipasti di pesce e i primi sono molto buoni , come in Italia! Assolutamente da provare per chiunque si trovi in zona soho a Londra e vuole passare una piacevole serata.

Went for a pre-theatre meal so it was very quiet, the staff were very nice and unsurprisingly service was fast! The food was tasty and reasonably priced for London

3.5/5 stars. We visited on a quiet December evening when there was only one other couple in the restaurant. For most of the evening, we had a lovely time. There were a couple of mistakes that had no real impact on our enjoyment (the wrong starter brought out, a side order had to be returned as it was cold) but these things were rectified quickly with a smile so we weren't upset. The food was delicious and would get 5 stars every time, and the service was good too, but the ending was ruined slightly when a couple of kitchen staff emerged from behind the scenes and proceeded to smoke right outside the glass back door (and I mean, leaning on the door). The smoke came into the restaurant so that we could both smell and taste it, so we left quicker than we would have liked and with a poor parting impression, which is a shame. If only the staff could have taken a few steps away from the door it would have been almost perfect

Popped in here by chance, it was quiet and everywhere else was packed so slightly anxious but had a delicious meal , lovely wine and pleasant staff. Would certainly go back.

An Italian restaurant~ my friend recommend to me. I tried lamb with rosemary source and pizza! Really enjoyable! Highly recommend.

Spinta dalle recensioni positive di TA ho deciso di provate questo posto e ne sono rimasta soddisfatta! Il locale si trova a Soho, in una stradina secondaria, ma facile da raggiungere. Nonostante fosse venerdì sera ci hanno trovato subito un tavolo e fatto accomodare. Sono rimasta particolarmente colpita dal locale, piccolo ma ben arredato, confortevole e dall'aria familiare. Il menù è molto vario con piatti interamente italiani: dagli antipasti, e primi e secondi sia di carne che di pesce. Personalmente abbiamo assaggiato le pizze, molto grandi e buone. Servizio veloce e personale molto gentile. Prezzi nella media. Abbiamo speso 14£ a testa per una pizza e bevendo acqua, nella media per Londra, incluso il 12,5% di servizio. Lo consiglio assolutamente.

Lovely Italian restaurant with great happy hour deal which gives you complimentary food with any cocktail. The antipasti platter is fresh and delicious and the staff are super friendly. I'd recommend this place.

Went to London for the day on a theatre trip and having researched restaurants in the area, came across La Pietra Soho. It had good reviews and rightly so. There was a good selection of dishes, I chose the spaghetti with seafood - it was a nice sized portion, not excessive, and cooked to perfection. Wasn't intending to have a dessert but having seen the menu, chose the chocolate soufflé and it was gorgeous. The waitress was very friendly and efficient and the chef came to the table to chat. A lovely relaxed end to a long day!

Wir wollten in Soho Pizza Essen gegen und sind in diesem kleinen, toll und geschmackvoll eingerichteten Restaurant gelandet. Unsere Erwartungen wurden um ein vielfaches übertroffen. Die Pizza war eine der Besten seit langer Zeit und die Pasta war einfach nur lecker! Eigentlich wollten wir am nächsten Abend woanders hin, aber ein kurzer Blick in die ausgesuchte Lokalität hat uns gereicht, um wieder Alex & Elenas Schlemmerhimmel aufzusuchen. Dieses mal gab es eine Vorspeisenplatte und Fleisch, serviert auf einem heißen Stein. Für solch ein tolles Stück Fleisch zahlt man in Berlin locker das doppelte. Es zerflosss im Mund und die Beilagen waren ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Wer in Soho oder London Essen gehen will, muss hierher!!!

Ambiente moderno e aconcheganteServiço ótimo, pessoas bem humoradasComida deliciosa e com preços razoáveisTípico italiano, com massa e pizza

Had the most amazing meal! The staff were very welcoming and attentive. A nice touch was the chef came to our table to go through the menu and was quite happy to adjust or change. The staff were so friendly, but towards the end of the meal they were suddenly rushed of their feet due to an influx of people. We did not quite get the same level of service but this did not in any way ruin our meal as I think in a small city restaurant you have to expect this sometimes. I certainly would recommend & return.

I had been to this restaurant a few months ago and thought the food and service was of a high standard so promised to visit again. So I invited my family and friends along to celebrate my birthday here. Food and service appeared to be good until we finished our meal and were asked how our food was. One of my guests commented that the fries that were ordered tasted a little oily and fishy. The waitress asked if she was serious and continued to serve us with a miserable/stoppy attitiude. This continued even when she came to bring out the birthday cake and candles that were bought for me at which point she just put the cake on the table and walked off without getting any plates on which to serve the cake. At this point one of my guests went to complain to her about her miserable service. In spite of this, the chef was extremely friendly and accommodated our needs when the waitress disappeared after our complaints. The food was lovely and appreciated that he took the time to take over when necessary. I would recommend this restaurant as the food is amazing, but be warned about moody service!

Fuimos a cenar un día muy lluvioso y desapacible, y salimos encantados. Comida excelente y saliéndose un poco de los típicos italianos, teniendo sus salsas etc un toque especial. El trato muy amable y atento en todo momento. Y con todo esto, y teniendo en cuenta la ciudad y zona, el precio también fué bueno. 100% recomendable.

several of us booked this restaurant based on the reviews here but, our experience could not have been more different. after some indifferent starters it was nearly 2 hours from being seated until our mains arrived, don't get me wrong as I am all for an evening out. however we had to ask when the food was coming out as it was so slow and there were only 2 other people in the restaurant on a Saturday night! never a good sign but, after an evening here so obvious why it is not full. the pasta dishes were only luke warm, the fillet steaks like lumps of leather and we were not asked how we liked them cooked or that no vegetables were included, the fish dish was not liked either. suffice to say that with waiting so long for the food, extra drinks had to be ordered-maybe this slow service is done on purpose. we gave the desserts a miss as breakfast was fast approaching! whatever happened to the chef on this night-he must have gone awol. this is the first time I have said this and it is, in Soho and Covent garden having so many restaurants to choose, this is one to walk past.

We have been coming to London regularly every Monday for the last 10years. It is our treat and we become 'tourist' in our own city and we leave suburbia behind. Every week we lunch at different restaurants. We are so fortunate and spoilt to have such an endless choice. Being a chef I mix business with pleasure and as always bring back to my restaurant ideas etc. I pick up. It's been quite rare that we have found a restaurant that we have wanted to rush back to. La Pietra Soho is the exception. We keep going back. The quality of good is very good, the chef Alex is very good at his job, it is evident that he cooks with passion, which is something that so many 'chefs' lack. He knows how to produce fresh food full of flavour. Elena the waitress is friendly and professional. Well done La Pietra.

A group of us met last week to enjoy dinner together here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A small and very cosy restaurant serving Italian food, we had a variety of pasta and pizza dishes and every one of them was excellent. Tasty food, very friendly and efficient service, good wine list and all very reasonable. There is also a great little garden area at the back. We will definitely be back.

My old college friends and I meet each year in London and have done so for the past 40 years. We meet for coffee and then wander around looking for a restaurant for lunch. On Friday we came across La Pietra. There was a special lunch deal of any pasta, pizza or salad with a glass of wine for £9.90.The staff were very friendly and the waiter also did the cooking.Three of us had a crab ravioli which was lovely. My friend had cannelloni which she said was delicious and the 5th member of our party who is vegetarian had a mushroom pasta which was also very good. The house wine was very tasty. We went on to have gorgeous desserts (2 courses for £12.95). The waiter said he had made the tiramisu which was very good and came in a kilner jar and also the profiteroles.The surprising thing was we were the only people in the restaurant! At 2.40 when we said we were thinking of having a coffee they said they close at 2.30 so we felt we should go. However they had not rushed us or given us the impression that they wanted us to leave so they could close.

Food is delicious, but they forgot to bring me a beer, changed forks and knives but did not bring me a change. Potatoes and octopus really well done, ravioli really good, excellent home made profiteroles. Again, service is nice and friendly but they need to be a bit more focused on small things as well.

Visited for dinner and did not have a reservation. restaurant is small and intimate, so would recommend booking. We were quickly accommodated via some rearrangement of tables to free a spot for us. Service was very good and personalised pasta was accommodated with inputs from the waiter. Food was really good, some of the best pasta I have every had.

Went there with big expectations. Service is very friendly, but couldn't keep up. Therefore a long wait and several mistakes were made.Food was okay, but certainly not the best Italian in town.Setting was nice though.

A Nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We ordered the entrecôte with grilled vegetables and chilli marinade broccoli and a Chianti red wine. The wine tasted like vinegar and I was told this is the way a Chianti should taste. The broccoli tasted like shellfish and I was told it was because of the vinegar. The rest of the food was ok;)

Four of us lunched today for the first time as this delightful tucked away restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was excellent, freshly cooked with delicious ingredients. I had the wild boar cannelloni, which was very unusual and delicious, my partner had clams and fresh pasta, also delightful, the seafood rissoto, cooked while we enjoyed a glass of very good house white wine. The risotto was creamy and packed with a seafood selection. Desserts were delicious and beautifully presented. Very good value indeed, at a very reasonable price. We shall most definitely be using this restaurant regularly. A great experience.

Väldigt trevlig personal, mysig lokal och det bästa - maten. Rekommenderar deras skaldjurspasta, den var fantastisk. Alla som är i London borde besöka denna restaurang!

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever visited...! Try the amazing salmon pasta. This restaurant is full of Italian style and atmosphere!

One of the best pasta I have ever had in my life. Nice atmosphere, exquisite wine and very friendly owner.

Have to admit that do not post review fairly often unless a place really impresses me, found this little cosy restaurant while walking around Soho during my lunch time, was curious about the lunch deal they had and decided to give it a go. Ordered a glass of house red wine and a pizza and have to admit that it has been of the best lunch breaks I had. The quality of the ingredients is superb; the taste of their dishes is incredibly authentic, fresh and delicious. Service could not be any better, starting from the Chef to the management, they welcome you with a smile and they truly make you feel home.It has not been great for my diet since I discovered la Pietra, now it’s on my list of weekly lunch places and one of favourite’s restaurants in Soho to spend a great evening with friends and colleagues! Keep up the good work guys! Foodies in London will appreciate what you are doing.BestLeo

Un pranzo veramente eccezionale..... L'aperitivo è stato squisito composto dal tagliere di salumi,buratta e bruschette....come secondi abbiamo preso la carne sulla pietra che è stata veramente incredibile....un locale veramente bello con un servizio eccezionale è cibo fantastico.... Consiglio vivamente di provare....

I have been there a couple of times and I swear will be back many times. The Service is great and makes you feel like in a family. Food is always a surprise. Chef has succeeded to impress me in every visit. Last visit he only asked me what I like to eat (meaning: pork, beef, fish or veggie) and he came up with an amazing meal that was not on the menu. Definitely recommend a visit.

I celebrated my anniversary here, with my family. It's a charming place with delicious food, beautifully served. What we particularly loved about was the excellent personal service, with a really friendly staff!We were greeted by Elena who was looking very carefully after us, all time there. She was so nice with me and my husband but, most of all, with my 2 years old daughter. Much appreciated, Elena!We were also very pleased that chef Alex took his time to personally explain us the menu and we choose to serve seafood. It was delicious and extremely generous portions.Undoubtedly, I'll recommend this restaurant to all my friends.La Pietra, thanks for a wonderful evening, great food and relaxation!

Vinimos por las excelentes críticas de Tripadvisor: No nos decepcionó, todo riquísimo. Nos comimos una Focaccia al'oglio, unos espaguetis con marisco, un Risotto con marisco y un mousse de chocolate......todo para repetir. Pasamos una velada muy agradable en un local decorado con muchísimo gusto y un trato muy cercano. Está muy cerquita de Picadilly Circus.

Serata molto carina cucina italiana di buon livello...come sentirsi un po' a casa dopo tanti giorni a mangiare cucine straniere. Merita. Il primo di tagliatelle con zucchine e pancetta molto buono. Antipasto consiglio la focaccia con antipasto di mozzarella e pomodorini secchi. Costo nella media. Circa 20 sterline a testa.

Wasn't planning on going here but came across it on our way somewhere else and decided to stop by. We just wanted a quick, tasty meal. There are other great Italian places nearby so this had to be good and we weren't disappointed. Food and service were really excellent. Right up to when I was chased down on nearby Brewer Street after we left by our waiter as I had left my laptop behind. Thanks so much. That was service going that bit further. Prices very reasonable too for the location.

Food and service were excellent. Server was very friendly and accommodating, chef came by our table to be sure we were happy with our meal. Pricing was reasonable. Definitely recommend stopping here if looking for good Italian in London.

This restaurant is rather small, quite a nice location for a friends catch up sort of atmosphere. I visited here for a friends birthday with friends that I hadn't met in 2 years so the setting was perfect. This restaurant was pre reserved for a Saturday evening. On arrival we were given the menu, we ordered drinks which we were served right away. After about 30 minutes, we were served very cold appetisers (which we didn't order) such as cold cheese and mushrooms, with salami slices and other small meat pieces. I was a vegetarian so could only have cheese and mushroom. After another 45 minutes of waiting, one of the attendees came over and said their gas systems were not working so they didn't know if they could cook our food, we were told to wait and they will let us know if it would be possible.This meeting was for a friend's birthday and it had already passed 8.30pm (we had been there for over 1hr 45mins- only served cold appetisers and drinks), we were past starving point and quite disappointed to say the least, we had a night out planned after too so we asked the waiter and manager if we could get the bill and leave. Considering this bad service, the only thing they discounted on their bill was service charge which I wouldn't have paid anyway as now we had to pick another restaurant in Soho on a Saturday night which meant another hour wait. So I will happily say I will not be returning to this restaurant again. Poor Service and poor compensation.

from Romania! Not saying this to discriminate, but to kind of show how I felt....wow...what a relief. Alex, the chef, came out of the kitchen to tell us the natural gas was cut off.....after 10 minutes he confirmed that he could serve our food. What a relief not because of the fact that food would be done, but the quality, taste, flavors and size were superb. I can't express how satisfying Alex's food was. Plus the friendly staff making sure our meal and experience was the best. INSANE food! One of the best Italian meals I have had. Thanks La Pietra, Alex and the girls!

Taken me a while to write this, but I promised I would and here it is (finally). Simply put, this is a gem. We wanted a restaurant for a Monday evening business meeting. On arrival, friendly staff made us feel completely welcome and we were offered a cocktail. Negroni all round. What we didn't realise was the cocktail was accompanied by a fantastic antipasti. Cold meats, cheese, great bread, and all free. Polished off the first plates and were offered more. But it was all so delicious, we forced ourselves to eat more. I had a lovely pizza, while the succulent lamb chops were reportedly delicious too. The evening was rounded off with limoncello. Highly recommended. Will be going back!

London has AMAZING food and La Pietra is a gem. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and the wonderful service. We had the pizza Bread appetizer and it was so delicious we got more. I had the pasta w porccini. It was incredible. My huband had the chicken quatro fromaggio- very nice. Pasta boloñesa for another entré and also was superb. Dessert was amazing as well. We loved it so much we are making time to go back our last night in London. It was that good!

Myself and a friend ate at La Pietra Soho last night. The service was brilliant and extremely friendly, we even got a wine tasting session on a couple of the wines before ordering a bottle by compliments of Alex. Food was fantastic!! We got dessert on the house with our coffee :-) We will be sure to return again soon.Thanks again Alex..............

10 of us dined here on a Saturday night, beautiful modern decor, relaxed atmosphere, incredible value for money given how fresh and delicious the ingredients are, you really can't go wrong. The staff were very attentive and friendly, food was INSANELY good, you could tell the ingredients were vey high quality, their mozzarella is out of this world. Chef came round to say hello at end of the night and we practically gave him a standing o, cannot recommend highly enough!

Went on a Friday night for a quick meal with a friend. Was surprisingly v.quiet in there. Pizzas were excellent - the best I've had in a long time. Just as importantly staff were engaging, attentive and most of all served the food with a smile! Would highly recommend.

Can't express my gratitude enough, the staff were wonderful and we got a specially made cake at the end of the evening. The atmosphere in the place was lovely and ALL the food was exceptional. I would recommend it to anyone, thanks again!

4 of us dined in this lovely modern restaurant while in London to see a show.We had different pizzas and pasta and all were delicious. We had a bottle of house red wine which was very nice and all at a very good price.The service was prompt and friendly. We will return when in London again.Highly recommend a visit here there is a varied menu on offer.

The BF and I came here on a taste-card experience and what a brilliant time we had! Elena was our waitress and she couldn't do more to keep us happy, if she tried. The food was perfection, and plenty of it, the atmosphere is exquisite, woody surfaces and candles, nice lighting. When you can say the toilets are delightfully decorated - you KNOW you have been to a nice place!!! Thank you La Pietra we will recommend

Alex the chef is one of the best chefs I ever met..he is creating some amassing food..Service is perfect ...is a place to visit

We booked a table for 6 at La Pietra, Soho for my husband's 60th birthday and they did us proud. We were greeted at the door and experienced excellent and friendly service throughout, ensuring that we were out in time for the theatre, which was just round the corner. The food was very good and prices very reasonable. It's a bit off the beaten track but well worth seeking it out. We're not in London often but will definitely go again when we're next up there.

Wonderful antipasto platterGreat grilled seafoodSome luscious cakes, tortes and ice creamsEnthusiastic and polite serviceFun music

We have become regulars here at LaPietra.The Staff work as a real team making sure you are happy with your order to the extent the chef Alex will personally have a chat with you to find out your desire and taste.The food is always amazing, the ambiance warm and how you would like it..laid back and very enjoyable indeed.For anybody wanting a nice lunch or dinner or just a glass of wine I highly recommend La Pietra its home from homeWe love it!! Grazie guys

Brilliant brilliant restaurantItaly at its bestSuperb football banterPizzas from heavenGrappa from a higher placeForza Napoli

I had the most incredible Pollo e Pesto and desert in this restaurant. The chicken was so succulent! Such a gem of a place!!! The service was excellent and the staff were so friendly. I cannot wait to go back!

Lovely New Italian Restaurant in Soho, the have also one in Commercial street in a place that before i used to do Clubbing:-) Now is La Pietra. The New Brunch in Soho is very nice and well done!!!!

I'm coming every two weeks in this great place.Excellent food, great service, in a cosy ambiance and good value for money, affordable. Ps: Try the cocktails! ;)

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by very friendly, smiley staff. We were seated downstairs which was particularly wonderful as we got chance to experience Alex the chef working in the kitchen. The downstairs was very intimate and the lighting was perfectly dim creating a relaxed ambience. The kitchen was open plan with room for us to see Alex creating in the kitchen. The experience, the smells and drama of this was second to none. If you enjoy and appreciate great food and also enjoy cooking yourself you will find this a fantastic experience. My father and I both share a love of food and we asked the waitress what were the recommended dishes. Alex came out to talk us through what he recommended. Even bringing out fresh mussels for us to smell and they honestly were fantastic.The wild boar cannelloni was incredibly tasty, this came to the table piping hot. A truly rustic dish I have never had a pasta dish like it. We felt very comfortable and didn't feel at all rushed at any point of the evening,I almost don't want to tell people about this place as I don't want it to lose any of the charm it has, it really is a hidden GEM.We had a merry night and ended up singing and dancing as it was my Fathers birthday needless to say we had a lot of fun! Character, real people with talent and passion.Thank you La Pietra for a fantastic evening

This intimate, tasteful, high quality and medium price restaurant and wine bar in a quiet, tucked-away corner of Soho (Peter Street, off Wardour Street) is my discovery of the year, and well worth the search. Andrew, at front of house, provides a warm personal welcome and mixes a unique original selection of cocktails. Those cocktails! Colourful, fruity, with hidden alcoholic power ... You just long to try each one in turn.The food, created by the talented Chef Alex, is excellent and authentically Italian: antipasti, pastas, fish, succulent lamb, and desserts to die for. Decor: a marble bar, rustic wood and candles give intimacy to the atmosphere. A huge mural of Pompeii makes you feel you're in Italy. Go on, treat yourself .... You'll pay no more than you would in a chain, and get a far superior experience.

GOOD place but, Miserable staff, we were sat at a very dirty table, food on the floor around us, toilets are awful and dirty...the "manager" he stay in my face on stone table and he drink wine and he smoke electronic cigarettes,nice view...GOOD FOOD, but awful staff.We won't be going back again,

This is just the BEST. It's my (and my whole office's) go to place to take people in Soho.The most relaxed atmosphere in a really inviting bar. The staff are extremely friendly, personable and attentive. The drinks are great and the aperitivos (everything from fresh mozzerella, olives, cured meats, freshly baked garlic bread) that are always on offer with your after work cocktail, give La Pietra a different and more welcoming appeal.Recommend it for drinks and a snack or an evening meal and bottle of wine :)

Love this little place, friendly staff, great after work cocktails and loads of delicious nibbles that come with it all.

I love this place! If you are looking for an authentic Italian bar and restaurant then please visit here. The cocktails are delicious, and the food divine...if you come between 6 and 7.30 you can experience the traditional Italian tradition of antipasti with your drinks, as long as you buy a cocktail (at happy hour prices :) ) you are free to graze the selection of cheese, cured meats and Italian breads to your hearts content, the perfect after work treat! I have also eaten in the restaurant and it is well worth the visit for this alone, brilliant staff, food, drink and atmosphere!

THE hidden gem of soho! These days Soho is so full of chains and places with no atmosphere/personality (majoring in queues and painfully high prices for adequate food) it was a pleasure to find somewhere with So much charm.La pietra offers a wonderful atmosphere alongside yummy (cheap) cocktails with which you have FREE antipasti until 7pm. The cocktails really are great! On top of this the dinner menu is great and you can accompany with bottle of wine for just £14 without skimping of quality!Really teally worth a visit for anyone working in or visiting the area that wants genuinely friendly service and great food/drink.

Soho changes on a practically daily basis, partly because it's full of little dives in hidden corners. La Pietra (this is their second branch) is a newcomer, and it's very welcome. It's cosy (i.e. occasionally a bit of a squeeze) but manages to pull off suiting most informal occasions, from raucous friends to something more business-y.I recommend making this your first stop as part of a longer night - go at 6.30pm and catch their Aperitivo (which is free, generous, and full of genuine Italian treats rather than some of the tourist rubbish meted out even in Italy). If you stay all night, it'll be fun; if you move on, you'll have had a great start to an evening. Oh, and for the few of us who are still dedicated smokers, there's a bijou, hidden outside area.Buzzy, social, relaxed and good value. Highly recommended.

I really deeply fall in love with the food : from the starter to the dessert. Specially the beef on the stone. Christian make us feel comfortable until the end in a friendly atmosphereI will definitely come back!

La nourriture y est excellente.J'y suis allé de nombreuse fois et choisi différents plats qui sont tous excellents. PS: Je suis accro a leur tiramissu. ;-)

por fin he comido algo bueno en londres, muchisimas ghracias a su Manager "Cristian" que ha conseguido que por una vez me sienta como en casa en el extranjero. Creo que mi hermana se ha enamorado de él, casi lo hago yo. Volveremos sin duda.

New, cosy, lovely bar-canapé & restaurant in Soho I use it for business meeting and social events. Amazing buffet you gonna find every evening and the staff are extremely professional and friendly. The food is freshly prepared, tasty and good value. Definitely come back…

My partner and I visited this restaurant for dinner this evening, using a voucher gifted to us at Christmas. Staff very friendly, attentive to customers, but let you get on with your meal which is a very nice change. Very tasty food - especially the rosemary focaccia and pork shins. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the people sat at the bar seemed to be having a good time on the cocktails during happy hour. Overall, a lovely evening and thoroughly recommended. We will be back!

We came across this restaurant via Groupon so wasn't expecting to be overwhelmed. Well we have now been back twice always at lunchtime and always on a Monday. The pizzas are probably the best we have had in London and then pasta dishes are very tasty too. Very reasonably priced. Unfortunately lacking in atmosphere as we are generally lone eaters.. But I can recommend La Pietra as authentic Italian cuisine.

Such interesting and diverse appetizers are rare. The atmosphere is cool and friendly. Visiting the La Pietra restaurant made me go to La Pietra Soho as well. Different place, same hospitality, different concept. You will find very good coffee, and it is a cosy and homely venue.

I was goggling on internet, looking for a nice place where have a different Happy hour. At the end, I found an Italian restaurant to Soho, La pietra, whit a very curios concept, different to the others traditional Italian restaurant, so I decided to go and have a look. I was really surprise to know about the price of the happy hour, just 6.50£, and more surprise to find a very good and full buffet, with some news and curios plates, but not just this, I love this place because it was elegant, but cozy, curiously redefined and warm. I think not only to go back to have an other Happy hour, but probably to have a party with my family and friends.

We were shopping in London & really wanted pizza/pasta for Lunch.We walked from Carnaby Street to Soho & saw all the normal big chain Italian restaurants which didn't appeal to us. Then as we came to a junction i noticed a billboard outside saying "any pizza, pasta or salad & a glass of wine for £9.90". I thought let's have a look.I am so pleased we chose this little restaurant, the food was amazing and the staff really friendly.I would definitely recommend this Authentic Italian to anyone.
