Lavo in City of London, Westminster

Staying at this fantastic hotel, my friend and I came to dinner, how incredible that we are allowed to take our pooches with us ! The staff were all so sweet, interested in our little furry friends too. The food was all so beautiful, it looked like art and tasted heavenly. Chatted to other diners, it was the most memorable evening in a very long time. If only other places could take a feather from their cap. Extraordinary.

Great food, great service - our second visit and we plan to return soon. They even brought out a little candle and macaroons for our son’s birthday which was a lovely touch!

Over priced, hidden added extras when you get the bill so do check it carefully and a whopping 13.5% service charge when it took ages for getting anything you have requested including things that should have come with your food. Could not get the waiters attention as they seemed busy doing other things in between serving your food. Food was good but not as hot as it should have been for the prices being charged. Will not be a returning customer .

we arrive at the restaurant and was well welcome , the atmosphere is great , nice music , wonderful decoration . the service was impeccable , really felted special . food was fantastic , i highly recommend it

Beautiful new restaurant in Marylebone! Everything from the food and drinks to the atomosphere and service were excellent! To start, I highly recommend having the Beef Carpacio with fresh shaved truffles and Tricolore Salad. Both were packed with flavor and elegance. The Silk Handkerchiefs and Cacio e Pepe pizza were both great as was the Dover Sole and Lamb Chops. Def try the Truffle Fries and Brocollini but be warned, COME HUNGRY! The portions are big and meant to be shared. We barely had room for dessert but happy we did because the Affogato and the Tiramisu are not to be missed! Everyone raves about the 20 layer cake but we just couldn't fit it in. Next time! Come with a big group so you can try multiple things. I haven't even mentioned the cocktails, but, you have to try the Pinepple Tommy's margarita and the "make your own" Negroni. Super cool and delish! Big shout out to the service team! The managers stopped by the table multiple times to check on us and the waiters were ever present to provide anything we needed. Thank you to the entire team! See you soon!

Amazing dinner at LAVO earlier this week! You know it's good when the food arrives and there's silence at the table! The pizzas are a must have! We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, Anthony was fantastic with menu suggestions, Fabrizio (Head Sommelier) took care of our wines, service was excellent. A lovely touch with Chef touching our table. Can’t wait for a return visit!

I had a rubbish experience at this Very pretentious, overpriced and mediocre Italian restaurant. I was seated at my table waiting for my cousin and when she arrived they told her they had no reservation with my name and were fully booked. This may have been because she was a guest at the hotel but came down to join me in casual clothing so they thought she wasn’t suitable to be seated. When I walked up to the reception to greet her the lady just said oh! Once we were seated and the food arrived it took a long time to get the Parmesan cheese for my pasta dish and I had to ask 3 times for a straw. We ordered the 20 layer peanut butter cake which looked way better than it tasted. It was dry so I asked if I could have some cream on the side. When they dollop of cream arrived about 15 minutes later, I was told the chef said it would be an extra £3 for the cream. I told the waitress to take it back. My cousin had some issues during her 4 night stay at the BoTree which LAVO serves the room service for, in regards to food and the service in general which we explained to the restaurant manager who’s response was more or less oh well. When I mentioned the cream to him I said now that I’ve sent it back are you going to put it back in the fridge? He said no it will go in the bin. So they’d rather throw the dollop in the bin than giving it to a customer who’s paid £20 for a slice of cake that would have made me happy and the cake taste better! It also resulted in me removing the service charge so they lost another £19 for the sake of a bit of customer service, slow service time and, judging a book by its cover. At the end of the ordeal I went to reception to ask for my coat. The lady took my tag without saying a word, brought me my coat and handed it to me without a single word. It goes without saying we will never find at LAVO again, never stay at the BoTree hotel again and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

We were a party of 6 that dined on Tuesday 5th March and we couldn’t be more looked after. Grasjela at the reception was welcoming and showed us to our table that was beautifully set. Anthony was our Head Waiter who took interest in our meal choices, making recommendations that suited our needs and was attentive to vegetarian options for one of our guests. Cherry ensured table maintenance perfectly and Fabrizio the Head Sommelier recommended wines that fit perfectly to our taste and meal choices. The team knew what we wanted before us! Very attentive and hospitable service with beautiful food. There wasn’t much we didn’t order from the menu and it delivered in every way. 100% we will be back and we will be recommending to others. Thank you team LAVO for such a fabulous evening.

It’s a spectacular luxury Tao Group hotel between Oxford Street and Wigmore Street. According to its website it’s situated in the space where Soho, Mayfair and Marylebone intersect. So vast is this development that it has rather obliterated what was here before within what is still a partial building site. The restaurant on mezzanine and subterranean levels screams an international somewhat bland luxury. Not sure why one street exit is permanently closed or the bar is designated an alpine theme. The food matches the decor bring luxuriously presented but ultimately a tad bland. Take the signature chicken dish I chose from the lunchtime prango menu. Called Dominic for no obvious reason it comprised two pieces of chicken breast in an unctious tomato and cream sauce with slices of potato. All very pleasant but worth £32 at full price? My wife had a fillet of salmon and my daughter a Margarita pizza. More impressive were starters of a creamy burrata and salad and a tuna tartare beautifully placed upon a bed of avocado. Complimentary bread, olives and salad were most welcome. Blood orange sorbet was refreshing. Fellow diners appeared to include well-healed tourists, a birthday party some of whose female members indulged in some wrestling, a young lady feasting on oysters whilst photographing her fashion accessories.

Went here with three friends and my mum, and still one month later were talking about how much fun we had and how delicious the food was. We got starters to share, a pizza to share, and all got a pasta dish, (eyes bigger than our bellies) However the team provided a container to take the pizza and some extra pasta home in, and we got to have a second round of the food once we got home, and it was just as delicious! I have to give a shout out to the Pumpkin Tortelloni which was delicious, and The Meatball, that shocked me on how good it was. The team were attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were fed and watered! The drinks were absolutely great, with the expertise of the sommelier, picking out a stunning wine, and the bartender shaking up a storm with the multitude of cocktails that were flowing to our table. All in all, a fabulous night, that we have booked in for again soon!

One of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever been. The food was great, the location is stunning. I went there with some friends, tried the pasta, pizza, burrata and octopus. All divine. But what really made the dinner one of the best culinary experiences we have had was their tiramisu. I can’t describe the lightness and yet the taste of something so simple, but yet delicious.

Cocktails were amazing and colourful. We had “Italian 75” and Pineapple Tommy’s. Staff very welcoming. We enjoyed all dishes. Tiramisu was nicely presented and super tasty. " Definitely place to go. Lot of veggie options too!

Lavo London offers a chic atmosphere with its excellent vibe and interior. While I visited for Sunday lunch, I can imagine it being perfect for a lively weekend night out. The food was tasty, but fell short of leaving a lasting impression. The dishes were well-prepared and flavorful but lacked that extra something to make them memorable. Despite this, one standout was the 25-layer peanut butter chocolate cake, a decadent delight that stole the show! Its rich and indulgent layers make it a must-try for any dessert enthusiast. In fact, it's tempting enough to warrant a return visit just for another slice. Overall, staff were attentive & despite the food not being exceptional, I would go back to Lavo for the great vibe (and the cake), saving it for a Friday/Saturday dinner and drinks.

We had the most fantastic experience at LAVO last night. The giant wagyu meatball is not only an instamoment but tastes delicious, and the octopus is a must have. The pumpkin tortelloni is divine, the sage perfectly crispy. We went for a family member's birthday and were treated like royalty, being brought out the phenomenal 20 layer cake with a birthday message with the icing on the cake - literally! The staff are attentive but not overbearing, and the atmosphere is fantastic. We then went for some cocktails at The BoTree Bar and they had a DJ which was a perfect way to finish the evening - I'll definitely return for their Studio Nights next week with more friends.

Amazing atmosphere, we had a drink on the winter patio before dinner which had an open fireplace. The vibe downstairs was perfect for celebrating my friend's birthday!! Really recommend the tuna tartare, beef carpaccio and penne vodka... SO GOOD Will be returning as soon as I am back in London

After getting the recommendation online we booked lunch to try something new and we like ir very much. Its inside TheBoTree Hotel but it really doesnt give the vibe of a hotel restaurant. It was almost empty so we didnt have any complaints about noise,...

Really it's all excellent, except for one thing, it's just too noisy. It's a great buzz with people talking but the music is just too loud. Perhaps I'm getting old but when conversation is cancelled out then really what's the point. Beyond this, the food...

We’ve been to Lavo New York many times over the years, so were keen to try the London offshoot. It’s based in the BoTree hotel in Marylebone. The bar decor was pleasant, but it did feel like a hotel bar, nice view over the restaurant...

Was excited to try this newly opened restaurant but was disappointed. The restaurant was so very hot. Food was not of a great standard, would not return

Nice decor , friendly staff, and waitress. But let down by a very expensive even by London standards menu. Over 60£ for one portion of Veal or £30 for one big meatball with no pasta. Food came cold. Pizza was okish. Dessert was fun but...

Moment hors du temps !! L’accueil était parfait, le service était parfait !! Le conseil était parfait !! L’entrée, le plat et le dessert étaient incroyables avec une très belle présentation ! Franchement je suis presque surpris de voir une note de 3,5 de moyenne...

Charged for the wrong Prosecco we initially ordered ( a £75 price difference!!) then proceeded to tell us that others had the same misunderstanding and that it was confusing…I’ve emailed twice and not received any response or acknowledgement. Very poor. It’s embarrassing to keep arguing...

One of those places where clearly staff are told to create the vibe of it being manically busy… everyone rushing around to create a buzz. I find this a bit unnecessary and pretentious. Decor and fit out pretty stunning. Service friendly and helpful, but rather...

Very disappointing dinner. Average service who truthfully were keen but very amateurish. Food average and very expensive. London is really competitive restaurant scene and this place will really struggle unless material improvement. Short term pr does not make up for a really poor Italian.

So last night we went to lavo It was a beautiful restaurant it’s set on 2 floors it’s Italian cuisine We had cocktails followed by 2 bottles of malagouzia We had so many starters Burrata Meatball it’s their specialty Grilled octopus Hamachi Focaccia We had...

Great food and service. Beautiful setting. Highly recommended! Tuna tartare and scampi were amazing, pasta one of the best I ever had.

Having visited LAVO and read the other reviews, I am amazed at what people have written based on our experience. Did we all go to the same place? The hotel, what we saw of it, looks fab. Great location just by Bond Street tube station....

Met friends for lunch. The BoTree is a beautiful new Hotel just off Oxford Street, moments from Bond Street tube, with 'Lavo' being their signature in house restaurant. Incredibly friendly welcome by all staff on entering the hotel, were led through to the lovely bar...

This is a new restaurant in London The decoration of the restaurant is quite nice and interesting Service will improve gradually they need couple of weeks to gain more experience Overall,It’s worth going there

Great venue,food was amazing! Children welcome,would definitely return,our waiter Anthony and jay was excellent,very knowledgeable of the menu and there recommendations where great!
