Little Frankie's in City of London, Westminster

We found this hidden gem during our first visit to London. I recall we satisfied a craving for a family place to have lunch. Despite we were in Trafalgar Square, which was particularly in the city centre, this restaurant was like a hole in the wall. They serve quite big portions, and I will not lie if I say that you can’t go wrong with anything you choose on their menu. There was really vibrant atmosphere, moreover, its owner hosted us on that day. We didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable and combined with top-notch service, I would say that this Italian restaurant was out of this planet. When we make our next trip to London, we will definitely make a repeat visit. Hope, it will open soon.

The strong point of this restaurant is the location, however there is nothing else attractive... firstly, the food served is not of good quality, I took pasta with tomato sauce, it had a canned taste and was overcooked... Additionally, the displayed prices and actual prices do not match.

First time here. It's changed its name to Little Italy (Sicilly)! Overpriced and 12.5% extra for services, unprofessional staff! Food wasn't tasty as well! Not recommend it at all!

The food at all, it is not Italian in any type of its preparation, it completely leaves a lot to be desired

Top I recommend everyone to go there or go there

The worst restaurant that I have ever been, rude staff, generally don't go there If I were the owner of this place I would definitely fire all staff

Very bad service, the kitchenette was closed and de People was boring!!!!!

Pizza ok !! Mais comme beaucoup de commentaires !!! Personnel désagréable 🤷‍♀️!!! Vérifier votre ticket 😬!!

Attention Arnaque ......!!!!!!! Faites attention avec les paiements par carte ,j'ai payé 92.00£ au lieu de 60.00£ Attention Scam ......!!!!!!! Be careful with card payments, I paid £92.00 instead of £60.00 Mauvaise expérience+ bruyant

This place is not worth a 1 star. We had just arrived in London for work and went there for breakfast. We had a thought it used to be a frankie and bennys, but posing as something sicilly, from a distance I thought it said something sickly that's what I felt when we left. I wish I had gone to the toilet before I ordered as I would have walked out. The ceiling in one cubicle had caved in the hygiene as absolutely revolting. Needed a good industrial clean throughout. The breakfast was disgusting 3 English breakfast, the plate was covered in grease the bacon wasn't even cooked, the sausage was awful and the toast was just warmed bread and the whole plate was barely warm. As they could see from our plates we weren't happy ,we complained got the bill but the manager just stood there listened and still demanded we pay for the breakfast we had. We left and all of us felt extremely sick. An awful experience and they say breakfast is the most important part of the day.

no words, poor service, dirty, expensive

This place was open as of 12 Aug 2022. Not sure if still using Little Frankie moniker, but the pics online are the place. Went there in June 2022, and this past weekend, only because everything else is reserve in advance. First visit, mediocre and over-priced. Most prominent is the service...bad. June took a while to get our food. Last week, we waited 15 min and no one came to the table. Not even to ask for a drink. The lady working in the bar, and I think the waitress too, did not even make a motion to the table. The man who seated us, I told him we were ready to order, promised someone would serve us, and they didn't. We were the only customers inside, and 2 tables occupied outside. Walked out after that. I recommend the Angus Steak joint just up the street. They were the best service, really the only service too, during our week in London.

20th Jul and it was open... The prices are great for the area and the food was OK but let down by hygiene of the tables & chairs and the state of the toilets.... enough to put anyone off their dinner 😪😪

Over priced, pasta was not the best veryaverage got a cheese pizza for garlic bread which was ok. The service was very good and the staff was very polite and proffesional. 5 stars to the staff.

Poor food, poor service and unclean toilets

Just visited here and can't believe their attitude. So we are post lockdown and trying to support the retail industry. Enter the empty restaurant and told to sit at a certain table - ask to be seated elsewhere and given the whatever look. Service was terrible and the food poor - then they had the appalling decision to automatically add 12.5% to the bill Food: Poor - Service: Appauling - Attitude: Terrible Avoid at all costs !!!! - and know that GF is an extra £2.50 on pizzas !!!!

Not a Frankies any longer although still looks similar from outside. Poor experience so won’t be back

Wow absolutely amazing food. You must visit. Totally understated a real gem of a place

On behalf of my friend. Me and my husband had just arrived from Korea and decided to stop for Lunch hear. We had a small lunch totaling £19.50 and despite being sub par the manager coerced us into leaving a £10 tip. Not wanting to offend we did as requested and left. Only after being in a UK a while and having spoke with English friends we realise we would have not received the same treatment if we were white. Avoid.

Di italiano c'è solo la presunzione di voler una recensione buona. Bisognava guadagnarla. Ottima posizione ma non economica.

Great service from Jumman. Shown to table and served very quickly. He was there quickly whenever I needed anything. Will return because of Jumman.

Beautiful place and amazing food had a wonderful time there. Really nice staff x

It was a really nice lunch. The front of house girl was really kind and polite!

Hey guys little frankies is OPEN!!!!! Amazing food and great service ❤️

Wonderful place, just next to the Trafalgar square. Very nice and positive staff, quick service. Had a delicious meal here, would definitely go round once more. Recommend to everyone!

It's a great little place to visit, the food is spot on and would recommend the NY Deli Hero, the staff friendly and very well kept, Thank you to Justyna for being a great host, will come back.

Lovely place!! Giovanni was great with us, wishing him the best!!

Good food, short wait times and friendly staff, what more could you ask for in a restaurant?

Lovely food, excellent service, great menu and reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend

Very Italian, not the normal Frankie and Benny's. This place has genuine Italian character, maybe because it 100%run by Italian's. There was 8 people in our group and each person was delighted with their meal and the service. Very attentive staff and reasonable prices means we will be back.

They just need place mats so my chips don't go flying off the plate!

Love this place. Amazing food and service!! Definitly reccomending it to anyone who loves a good american style pizza.

Great Egg's Benedict & Cappuccino

Very good food, unique flavor and an excellent service. 🍕

The service was very friendly, Mervat took the orders and was very helpful as we are foreigners. We are very grateful for it (and sorry for the loud voices my family have) and sure we ll come back again.

Plastik im Essen und die Pizza war trocken und sollte den Pizzabegriff nicht tragen dürfen... dass dieses Restaurant so tolle Bewertung hat ist für mich unbegreiflich...

Always great food, Jumman was a great waiter who looked after us well!!

Great little restaurant :) first visit to london and must say its one of our favorite restaurants. Great service, delicious food and lovely environment.

Fantastic service from Jumman. Went with my husband and my 2 children who are extremely fussy eaters and they could not have been anymore accommodating. Throughly enjoyed relaxing and eating here, thank you again Jumman.

Great food and big pasta portions with nice atmosphere. Had a great lunch:)

Muy bueno el restaurante, y sobre todo la atención, una camarera de Sevilla súper amable y muy simpática, lo recomiendo

Comida casera de buena calidad, la pasta muy buena y las pizzas bien, los camareros simpáticos y aunque no hablaban español hacían lo posible por atenderte. El local no es muy grande pero se está cómodo. No es barato pero la calidad precio y cantidad no nos pareció mal. Los postres caseros y Buenos, pueden pedirse batidos helados.

Excelente lugar la comida y la atención!! Recomendable!

Great food and atmosphere! We definetely will come to eat here again.

Very yummy carbonara! And nice ambiance.

Bra mat med god glutenfri meny. Hyggelig personalet.

Nice food and staff at this place

Lovely family friendly restaurant, smaller than your usual Frankie's but the staff are amazing and really friendly. The food was delicious and no one rushed you at all

Think the girl on the door could be a bit friendly?

Fantastic food. Jumman has fantastic service. Would recommend. 10/10

Fantastic service and great food. Couldn't ask for more in central London area. Great prices for big meals. I would recommend it to every hungry person 😂

Fantastic food. Fantastic service.

Plenty of vegan options and great service. Cozy vibe too for such a busy area.

Pessimo cibo italiano. Panini mediocri

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very very kind! Loved this place and will definitely visit it again :)

Le serveur rigole quand il se brûle

Popped in after going to the embassy. Lovely place and lovely food. Jumman helped me and he was great, great service and very friendly!

Really cozy and stylish, with great quality of food and amazing service. The variety could be a bit bigger though.

Good food, good service and reasonable price. Violent situation when paying, one of the waiters really insisted on giving them a 5 star review, even picking my phone from my hands in order to publish it. Also, they pressured us into tipping (understandeable but still invasive). Because of this, we left the restaurant with bad sensation and would not consider coming back again.

Foi uma grande satisfação comer uma bela macorranda aqui com nosso amigo Ronaldo. Recomendo o restaurante.

Great experience. We've been there for a brunch and I recommend it !

Heel goedkoop en gewoon lekker gegeten!! Leuke deals!

Fantastic speedy service, great food, lovely staff, so friendly for the kids.

One of the guy who works there called Ronaldo provides one of the best and fast service.

Serviço rápido e bom. atendente Ronaldo muito simpático e educado. Comida gostosa.

Thanks for the great service, Ronaldo was amazing and pizzas are the best! 😸

The food in there was really good, and I want to say Thanks to Ronaldo for help us in the restaurant 😁

One of the waitress called Ronaldo did an excellent job with his service and the food was amazing

very good food and nice atmosphere... would recommend for tourists

host had no idea where other locations are and if this restaurant was a chain or not. Employees should know their workplace.

We had a breakfast here - and it was a great choice. They have some traditional English dishes in the menu, omelettes, eggs etc. Really good value for £.

Πολύ νόστιμο το φαγητό τους ευγενικό προσωπικό! Επιλογές για χορτοφαγικά πιάτα

Servicio lento y desagradable. No había la mitad de las cosas de la carta. No había casi nadie y aún así tardaron más de media hora en atendernos. Intentamos llamar la atención del camarero en varias ocasiones pero nos ignoró. Cuando vino a atendernos se sentó con nosotros como si estuviera en su casa. Muy desagradable 🙄 La comida más o menos decente. No volveremos.

Great customer service and top quality dad jokes from the waiters

The burger was perfect and the waitress are great😍

Double cheese burger was fantastic.

Great little, if cramped, restaurant right in the middle of Central London, by Trafalgar Square. Food is a little expensive but good nonetheless. Staff are friendly and attentive and food comes out quickly. Their coffee is also surprisingly good! Definitely a decent place to stop if you're tired from walking around Central all day.

Pasta rica, pero hay poca variedad de platos de pasta.. falta pesto

Bardzo klimatyczne miejsce z miłą obsługa i dobrym menu.

Jyustina was great server and we come back

Pizza war ganz gut, ein wenig trocken aber geschmacklich OK. Als wir fertig waren, wurden wir förmlich herausgeworfen, weil andere Gäste warten mussten.

The food is always hot and served with helpful staff

Snitelul de porc a fost cam tare.

Concernant ce restaurant, un mot me vient à l’esprit : Dégoût. Par où commencer ? Par ces quatre plats de pâtes commandés par mes amies et moi même tous plus infâmes les uns des autres ? Ces serveuses hautaines et désagréables qui n’ont fait que nous dévisager tout au long du repas ? Ce vacarme qui régnait dans la salle ? Ou encore le manque d’hygiène des sanitaires au sous sol ainsi qu’à l’odeur nauséabonde qui planait dans les escaliers ? Le seul point positif fut le serveur qui était sympathique et qui essayait tant bien que mal de sauver ce bateau à la dérive mais malgré ses efforts le bateau a bien finit par couler ce vendredi midi pour mes amies et moi même ! What a shame ! À jamais

Guter und frischer Salat! Die Nudeln auch gut, nicht zu groß. Für die Lage echt zu empfehlen.

Décevant. J’ai été face à des serveuses désagréables : dévisageaient mes amies et moi mais aussi manquaient de disponibilité vis à vis du client. J’ai commandé des pattes à la carbonara et le plat que l’on m’a servit présenté des pattes trop cuites avec très peu de lardons et ainsi q’une sauce trop épaisse.

Mauvaise expérience due à une attitude désagréable de certaines serveuses...(demande relancée pour avoir un coca et un café qui a été magnifiquement ignorée par la serveuse !). De plus, la mise en assiette laissait à désirer et mon plat pourtant simple à faire (pâtes avec des champignons) se revèla tout bonnement inmangeable...

Posto accogliente e servizio veloce. Gentilissimi i camerieri. Un applauso personale a Giovanni 😉

Pas bon. La présentation du plat m’a fait penser au tas de purée que l’on me servait à la cantine du collège. Très déçue.

Great rest after walking!! Midday wine, pasta and great service! Being from the USA we found the food comforting and the service more than accommodating! Thank you!

The manager was a real character and the food was great

We stopped in for a light lunch ordering an appetizer and a bottle of wine; the service and food were great! We ended up ordering carbonara and hanging out a bit. Everything hit the spot! We highly recommend Little Frankie's.

Uno de los mejores sitios de Londres. Me comí una hamburguesa de pollo con queso que superó totalmente las expectativas. Un 10/10.

El Frankie no veas cómo se maneja en la cocina, un figura, un fuera de serie.

Genial!!!El mejor fish and chips de todo londres.

El mejor bar de Londres, se me da un aire a los Coloniales oju que buena pinta tenía to

Buen lugar a un precio económico, muy buen trato y buena comida.

Justyna, thanks you for the service.

Locale molto molto carino e servizio ottimo

Locale molto carino e molto accogliente e le cameriere molto simpatiche
