Mio Restaurant & Bar in City of London, Westminster

Brilliant food, great value, really tasty

me and my partner came here after a long day walking around the city, we were visiting London so weren’t familiar on the area but saw the outstanding reviews and extremely cheap prices for westminster but the food was top quality. the staff were extremely friendly on arrival and got us seated as quickly as possible, we both had pizza and it was the best pizza we had ever eaten. the staff were attentive and made sure we were happy with our food. we then paid and realised we had been charged wrong. when we went back in and explained the staff were extremely helpful and processed the refund straight away. an absolutely fabulous restaurant and we will definitely visit again next time we are in london

The food is delicious and the service is great! Highly recommended!

Very tasty food with good service. Reservations strongly recommended. While the bruschetta was only mediocre, the main courses such as carbonara, pizza margarita, ravioli, and calzone were very impressive. Everything was delicious. The homemade tiramisu was very good and definitely a must-try during your visit!

So happy we found this place! Every single dish is authentic and tasty (I lived in Italy so I know what good Italian dishes taste like!). Reasonable price as well especially if you are in London! Staff there are nice as well! Me and my mom visited here twice during our short London trip because we agreed that we love this place! On our second visit they gave us free bread bc they recognised us! Highly recommend!

Just absolutely killer. Excellent, plentiful and reasonable. Rare in London to get all three.

A great find. Owner and all staff were lovely and friendly. Food was first class. A small and comfotable relaxed environment

Excellent Excellent Excellent!!! 😃

Delicious food, good food and nice service. Recommended

There were 15 of us there, and we had a reservation. We were served quickly; the service was excellent and friendly. The food was truly delicious. It was a bit too loud for my taste, with the music and the other guests. I would go there again.

Small restaurant with good food and good service

Great Italian restaurant. Very small and friendly staff. The food was fantastic! We were lucky to get a table.

Totally agree with previous reviews. Spaghetti bolognese is terrific and of course burrata also lovely. Very small so not a lot of tables. Service was terrific... So glad we discovered this place on our first night!

Great place. Fast service, nice big pizza, server with a smile and more than reasonable prices... enjoy your meal.

Great authentic Italian pizza an pasta. Loved the food we had

Amazing food! Fair prices and friendly staff. The best place to eat in London

Kind people, delicious food, nice restaurant

It was great, small room but homemade food. Super good and well stocked pizzas and welcoming and very kind staff!!

One of the best italian's restaurant in the world. Really amazing.

Thank you for everything. Next time think to have IrishCoffee on the Menu 🤣 I recommand +++

Amazing Italian food! What a place!

Very tasty pizzas, especially the folded one, I recommend it, you will be amazed. The smell of Italy and the service will take you to the Mediterranean.

Small and cozy restaurant, very friendly and polite staff, good food. We ate some excellent tomato bruschetta and a good Margherita pizza. I recommend it

Great pasta and service. The dining area is pretty tight.

Small, chill.place with good food, warm and friendly service.

Such an amazing restaurant. The reviews are true and this place is truly so good! You might have to wait for a table but the wait will be worth your while. The food was delicious and excellent value for money. The restaurant is centrally located yet has a rustic vibe. To top is off the staff is friendly and warm. We enjoyed everything about our dinner and will be back…

Great pizza, great service, great prices.

Very good food (I ordered pizza, pasta and dessert), pleasant environment and impeccable service. I recommend with love!

Excellent food and hospitality. Low prices.

This small, intimate restaurant is everything you could want: fantastic authentic pizza with wonderful service. I go here nearly every time I’m in London for work.

Went here after a visit at Westminster Abbey. The high rating is well deserved. Excellent dishes both from regular and special menu. Very good service. Excellent prices for Excellent food. Clear recommendation.

Second visit since last year to this great little Italian restaurant, still just as good and welcoming. The menu is classic but it is really very well done with good ingredients. We feel that there is a good atmosphere in the team and the open kitchen certainly contributes to this. Sincere and warm welcome. Really a great place.

We had dinner there yesterday. Quite a small restaurant but with very friendly staff. Not recommended for wheelchair users or people with mobility limitations due to the narrow space. We had pasta with shrimps and a salami pizza. The noodle portion was a bit small, but ok. The pizza was incredibly good and big enough.

Wonderful experience, super attentive staff, especially chefs Washington and Pascoalli and waiter Frederico. I highly recommend it. Super cozy atmosphere. I felt at home.

The best pizza we have ever eaten. Simply fantastic!!!

Three of us ate there this afternoon. Excellent Italian cuisine, impeccable service. The servers are very friendly and welcoming… I recommend with my eyes closed!

Excellent Italian restaurant. Order a margherita pizza and a truffle pizza. And pasta with spinach. It is worth trying. 👍🏼

Delicious pizza, thin and tasty dough and generous size. The pasta is very good too. Advisable

Found this lovely restaurant by accident. What a lovely little place to have dinner and cocktails. We were celebrating our birthdays so the staff arranged a lovely pudding and sang happy birthday to us. We will definitely go there again on our next visit to Westminster London.

Great pizza from this little place. I walked in on a Monday night and didn't need to book a table. The restaurant was full by 7pm. The food was amazing, the price was very affordable and cheaper than pizza chains. It is a little gem in London. The only thing was the tap water bottle cap had black mould dots on them, quite off-putting. Please clean them.

I gave it a 4 because it was very cold in the place. Good food and good service.

Came here for a late dinner after a day long bus tour and was in the mood for Italian. It is a very tiny restaurant but they were super friendly and welcoming! Loved the feeling and vibe here, like family. We were excited for some good pasta but if I’m being perfectly honest, the flavor was lacking. It may be a London thing that a lot of the food is kind of bland but with the addition of some salt and pepper from the table, it was a lot better and more flavorful. The gnocchi had a nice texture and the sauce was creamy but definitely needed a little more flavor. We really wanted to love the food but were a little underwhelmed. The pasta was cooked perfectly as was the risotto. The ravioli was probably the best of the four dishes we tried. Would return to try other menu items so still giving four stars.

Small pizza and pasta place. Food was good and the people friendly. Just what we needed for a not expensive lunch while walking around the Winchester area.

Super spot with quick friendly service.

Small Italian restaurant, with dedicated staff. Delicious pasta and pizza. Great price/performance ratio!

Small but nice Italian restaurant, they make good pizza and good tiramisu. Prices are normal for London. Very friendly staff, I recommend.

Realy good restaurant, the carbonara and the ravioli were really amazing. The limoncelo spritz was really good. And the pistachio tiramisu was a very good surprise. I highly recommend. Signed : a French tourist

Wow. Really a hidden pearl in London. The staff was really nice and helpfull. I will give an extra credit to the pizzachef. What a cool guy, and the food he makes 5/5. this is one of the best pizza’s i’ve eaten. Big portions and a good price! I had the Prosciuetto e Funghi with extra salami and jalapeno. Recomend this one. I miss pizza knifes, other than that great place! I will return :)

The waiters are incredible people of professionalism and friendliness. Very good food.

Really Italian rest. Excellent food, and very good service. Federico treated us like a 10!!!

The Bolognese pasta was great and i also recommend the bruschetta. The tagliatelle was a bit too spicy.

Just had an office outing here for 20 colleagues. Great service and food and good value. House wine was very drinkable and reasonably priced too. We will be back regularly.

The waiter told me you can only sit one hour, although the whole room almost free. The food was meh. ( spaghetti sea food and garlic bread). In the end they tried to sneak an order in the receipt but I saw it and talked with them to remove it and they simply said sorry.

Some of the best service in London! Extremely friendly staff, very happily remade my friend’s order when she read the menu wrong. Food was delicious, not bland at all. Intimate and relaxed setting. Highly, highly recommend.

it was a bit on the pricey side but my friends and i think the pizza was so lightweight and good we felt full too !! totally yummy but small space !! staff were so nice

Delightful small italian restaurant service large 1 person (or 2 person) pizzas. Cute restaurant near westminster abbey, parliament and big ben. Reasonably priced food and delicious!

Great Pizza / Paste ! Each tine again!

If you're craving Italian foods go to Mio! I had the spaghetti bolognese and it was the best meal to end the day with. Yummy, rich flavors that I won't be able to enjoy until I travel here, again. If you choose the calzone instead, know that it comes out big, beautiful, and delicious (easily shareable for 2). The restaurant is small and comfortable so you might need to wait for a table, still I say it's worth it. The staff is very nice and they work to make seasonal cocktails that are fantastic. Plus the Italian Wines are extra yummy with the meal options. So good! Go and enjoy! 💜💜💜

Beautiful place, great food and desserts, I recommend it 100%

I was not expecting to enjoy that much italian food in London. Amazing staff.

Was wandering around London with my girlfriend struggling to find a good place to eat. Found this absolutely lovely little restaurant. Staff were lovely, prices were affordable, and the food was great with good portions. Nice and quiet, very cute restaurant.

The food, service and ambiance were top notch. We had a wonderful time dining here for lunch. It’s a cozy, small spot so I’d recommend a reservation. Definitely worthwhile if you’re in the mood for authentic Italian food with fresh ingredients. We had the caprese salad, prosciutto and funghi pizza and veganesca, all were outstanding.

1 of the best pizzas I have ever eaten!!

Great Italian option near Whitehall

A Reld with good references jumped out at me. An Italian without many retentions, but with very good food prepared on the fly, of very good quality. We were assisted by Federico, a super friendly and professional Argentinian. If we returned to London, Mio would be a must-see.

Great pizzas and great service from the staff, recommend 100%.

Lovely pizza, lovely family run place. The new chef's special menu is great!

Amazing authentic Italian pizza, and fabulous tiramisu. Service was great too.

A highly recommended place to eat, Federico has served us extremely well!!! They speak Spanish and we loved it.

This is now my boys’ favourite after school to go place! We are happy their tiramisu has no alcohol! Boys love it! They also made bolo ear gnocchi for us! Staff are friendly and attentive! Will be back!

Stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. From the beginning, the customer service was top tier. My daughter and I ordered the Penna Arriabiata and Pollo Picante pizza. Both were spectacular. I wish we had more time in London to try their other menu options. Thank you so much Mio!

Best gnocchi/food, amazing staff, fair price, I totally recommend!

Pleasant central London restaurant. Not too formal, friendly staff, well cooked food. Vegan is possible but not a big choice.

Love this place! Inexpensive, great customer service, lovely ambiance and food. Great place for a bite to eat at an affordable price and an enjoyable meal

Pleasant and welcoming, excellent cuisine with a very correct menu. I highly recommend

Very tasty, huge calzone and great service!

Delicious food for a very reasonable price, and incredibly friendly and quick service :)

I recommend a visit, very good food, incredible pizza, very friendly staff and a Brazilian chef who makes the best pizza I've eaten here in London. I highly recommend it, especially for Brazilians.

Thin crust Italian style pizzas. Really enjoyed it. Looks quite authentic. They do have a 12.5% service fee included in the bill. Prompt table service. Welcoming staff.

Perfect italian taste, with good service.

The best Italian in London I'm sure. It's funny but throughout my life I have been to more than 100 Italian restaurants and this one in particular is in the TOP-3. Very good location, approximately 1 km from Big Ben. 100% homemade food made with a lot of love and excellent service. The truth is that it is a 10/10, I have nothing to contribute as a criticism, Federico and Seetay attended us (super kind and friendly). The caprese salad was delicious, with lots of quantity and an exquisite tomato. We loved the gnocchi, you could tell they were homemade and the pizza was amazing and a size that you won't leave hungry with. Since there is no meal without dessert, we finished with a tiramisu that I fell in love with and a Nutella cheesecake of which I would have had 3 more pieces 🤭

I love Italian food, but as a Muslim comes from Saudi Arabia, I always have to ask if the food is halal. Sometimes, we leave the restaurant because we don’t get a clear answer. However, today we were lucky to meet Zeinab, who was very kind and helpful in answering our questions. The food was delicious! I hope the menu can clearly indicate halal options in the future. Thank you!

Fantastic food and great service

This is now my favourite place to eat when I'm in Westminster. The food is great - the calzone is enormous - and the staff are lovely. Definitely recommended.

From California This place is an Excellent restaurant and has excellent food. The people are awesome and very helpful and friendly…. You will NOT be disappointed eating here. I recommend the “Fiery red sauce” on your pasta. A real treat.

A must-visit restaurant if you visit London

They managed to fit us in when they were fully booked and turn around food in 40 minutes. Food was wonderful, service amazing and the chefs very friendly. It is also the quickest I have ever been served a beer anywhere in London, genuinely less than a minute. A lovely little find!

Excellent food and service too! Very good service. Super recommended.

Exquisite!!. Very fast and friendly.

Super great Italian restaurant that prepares everything fresh. We were totally thrilled and can only recommend this “restaurant”. Especially after a busy day around Westminster Abbey.

Excellent pizza, better than many eaten in Italy, excellent quality mozzarella and tomato ingredients, perfect and digestible crunchy dough, cooked in a wood oven! congratulations to the stinker! The pasta Bolognese is also exquisite, delicate ragù as good as grandma's, excellent, absolutely recommended if you want to eat well and go out with a smile.

Nice food and unpretentious atmosphere. We had a very nice diner, recommended

Best Italian restaurant in London! ❤️

Delicious food at a very good price.

A bit hidden but a real secret tip

Spectacular calzone and pasta. Value for money 10/10

Food and service were the most memorable at this place. The chefs were Italian and the pizza was really addictive and somehow just tasted different than your usual margherita pizza. I would love to visit this place again if I ever visit London again in my life.

It was very delicious 😍 The food came quickly and the staff were very nice 😌

Very friendly staff, with real Italians in the kitchen 😊 everything was delicious. Very helpful, the waiter agreed to charge my phone. Thank you again for this moment.

Came across this little gem via Google. Food and service fantastic.
