Mio Restaurant & Bar in City of London, Westminster

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

What a cute restaurant serving delicious food! We loved our visit to Mio. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly. Our starter was excellent, my wife thoroughly enjoyed her spaghetti carbonara, and I am not exaggerating when I say that may be the best spaghetti bolognese I've ever had.

Been here twice for dinner now; have had the pizza and pasta, both were very good. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

This is bar far one of the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in London. The staff are friendly and accommodating, with very authentic Italian food. I’ve been here many times and they have never failed to impress me. I strongly recommend ordering the garlic bread (cheesy) and the chilli sauce!

Very friendly service, delicious food👍👍👍

Delicious food and service!! Very affordable prices. Loved it! Tiramisu is a most! The vanilla gelato also amazing!

The best Italian food I have ever had! Although the portion for spaghetti isn't that generous, the food tastes so good! The service is nice and friendly as well. I would definitely come again.

Good food! Very friendly, accommodating staff! Perfect for families!

Great experience! Wonderful food and very nice people!

We ate Bruschetta, burrata, pizza pistacchio and prawn linguin. There was no bread. Burrata was solid, not fluid. I don’t think it is a really Italian restorant. It was a disappointment.

Friendly staff, amazing food. Worth the wait if you don’t have reservations.

WE ORDERED BURRATA, SPAGUETTI CARBONARA WITH GUANCHALE AND TIRAMISU FOR DESSERT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO LEIRE WHO SPEAK SPANISH AND TREATED US LIKE AT HOME. THEY HAVE AN OPEN KITCHEN AND FIRST FOOD.

Delicious! Fast, friendly and well priced. A local gem

Great discovery very close to Westminster Abbey. When we arrived there was no place, there were 8 of us and the place is small, but they offered us to wait 10 minutes and they prepared 2 tables for us that were finishing. The food is very delicious and they have gluten-free pasta. They also control cross contamination. Several waiters speak Spanish. The staff was super friendly. We will definitely return when we visit London again.

Very good little Italian restaurant Impeccable service

Chef Anushka's food was very delicious and Manuela and Federico's attention was very good. Even though it was my birthday, they gave me a dessert and sang me happy birthday with a candle. If I ever return to London I will definitely come back. I recommend it! And the prices are very good too.

Perfect place to eat Italian food near Westminster! Fresh and very good product. The only point of improvement is the cannolis.

Firstly the service was friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Open kitchen which is nice. Food wise its OK. Porion size was tight shall we say and not generous by any means. What we had was fine but nowhere near the best Italian we've been to. Decidedly just average would describe it. Not particularly cheap either. Would we go back ? No.

Portion of pasta slightly small. With bread it would be great.

Very nice little restaurant. Quick service, nice people and good prices.

I really like it here. The pizza was amazing. The staff were so nice. Coming back for sure

Very nice staff and fantastic Calzone

Super tasty food and great service!

I went to eat there a few days ago with my family. They serve hearty dishes and the best thing about the place (apart from the food) is the customer service, which was outstanding.

We had a long day in London and really wanted some take-out pizza. I walked in and ordered the Margarita pizza and tiramisu. The chef makes the tiramisu in individual containers. They were SO NICE to let me take one and leave the container at my hotel’s concierge’s desk where they will pick it up. The pizza and tiramisu were both fabulous and the staff were super nice! I highly recommend Mio Restaurant!

Spectacular price quality. Highly recommended!!! And the unbeatable service.

The food is top, especially if you compare it with what you usually have in London. The waiters were super nice and attentive. The prices are good. 100% recommended

The pizza and seafood linguini were rich in flavor and nicely seasoned! The service was very good! The service was friendly and courteous. Moreover, there was one waitress who spoke a little Dutch! I really recommend you this cozy and intimate place!

I recently had a fantastic experience at Mio. The food was incredible, especially the pizzas and desserts, which were delicious. The highlight of our visit was Manuela, who treated us exceptionally well and made excellent recommendations. Her friendly service really made our evening special. Highly recommended for anyone craving great Italian food and warm hospitality!

Food was amazing and authentic highly recommended

We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is amazing and can honestly say it’s my favourite Italian restaurant to eat at. Try to make sure we book in when we are in London it’s just so good. Staff are brilliant and so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back again soon

You really have to go...! The staff are really very friendly.....! The Gorgonzola gnocchi didn't suit my parents as much as I expected, so I left it all, but when they looked at it, they calculated it excluding the price of the gnocchi.... It was something I was completely grateful for. Gorgonzola gnocchi is a bit thicker and a bit thicker than you think? I feel it.. Other reviews say it is recommended, but I don't really recommend it.. Carbonara pasta is an authentic pasta made with real yolk, so I hope you give it a try!! And, the pizza is really, really delicious!! The most basic margherita pizza is the real JMT!!

Great service, great Italian & amazing pizza.

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday yesterday, it's our third time here and we continue to absolutely love it. The food is incredible and the service is outstanding; every one is very welcoming and attentive! I particularly recommend the seafood risotto and the gnocchi!!

Small restaurant with good Italian food and great service. If we lived in the area we would be regulars.

Great food, very big and delicious Pizzas, kindhearted Service 👍

The food is delicious. We ate gnocchi, bruschetta, pizza and tiramisu. Everything was delicious. Very nice service. I recommend!

Bruschetta con funghi … it was magic :) very very good !

Well priced, fast and friendly. The abundant food. The bathrooms are bad, they urgently need renovation Recommended, value for money.

It is a great place to eat Italian food, all the dishes and dessert we ordered were exquisite, great value for money. Special mention to Federico the person who served us, friendly, pleasant and very good professional. Totally recommended site.

Amazing food ! The best calzone I’ve ever had! Food made in front of you and great atmosphere. Great staff and a definite must visit !

We read very positive reviews of this restaurant, so we went in hoping to find real Italian cuisine. The service is prepared and available, we ordered gnocchi with pesto, which however turned out to be a little stringy and the pesto was not very tasty. Furthermore, we had a margherita pizza, normal, nothing special.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years but I can't justify going again after my last visit. The prices have doubled and I understand there is a cost of living, but the portions have stayed the same! Very small portions. Not worth the money. I've been to other family run restaurants, same prices but bigger portions. This place is now dissapointing

Welcome and warm atmosphere. The pizzas are very good and plentiful. The bruchettas are good. You can go there without hesitation.

This little gem was absolutely AMAZING. Food here is like straight out of Italy. It felt like my Italian mother in law was in this kitchen. It is FABULOUS. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥💎💎💎💎 thank you for the hospitality. You made our last night in London very memorable. Thank you

The pasta was delicious and the staff were very friendly.

Outstanding pizza (Review from the USA)

I visited London this past week on my first solo international trip, and due to the dozens of incredible reviews, I decided to visit Mio Restaurant & Bar. I definitely made the correct choice because the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I ordered the special buffalo mozzarella and pesto pizza, and it was so delicious that I went back a couple nights later and ordered their spaghetti bolognese and margherita pizza! If I had more time on my trip, I probably would've gone back a third time to try something else new! Since I was a solo eater and didn't want to take up a whole table in an already tight space, I took my food to go, but I definitely regret that choice because the entire staff were so kind and made sure that each customer was well taken care of! Even as a takeaway customer, the staff made sure to engage with me and make me feel comfortable! I couldn't recommend visiting Mio Restaurant & Bar enough, and I will for sure be visiting again on my next trip to London!

Outstanding customer service, great location & most importantly top tier Italian food. I’ve been to a few Italian restaurants & Mio’s restaurant serves the best Italian food by far. Will be going again!

Had a wonderful meal,the staff were friendly and attentive to us. It was the best meal we had so far while visiting London.

The quality of the food is very good, the prices are also very good, only the toilets and the lack of space in the restaurant have a slight negative impact, but the food is five stars!

What a wonderful place, food and service are great. Tried the bruschetta fungi uau what a discovery, risoto al pescattori and finish up with a tiramisu. Prices very reasonable fot London. A place to come back in the future.

Our first day in London and we found this wonderful place! Very cozy and great workers Especially big thanks to Marta as she spoke Russian and helped us translate everything Dishes 10/10! Service-100/100 We'll come again!

The service is spectacular. And the quality of the food is excellent.

Kids portion sizes and poor food management. The actual taste of the food is okay but be careful as you might find something that isn’t food on your plate.

Amazing seafood linguine, lovely family restaurant with reasonable prices. Will definitely be back to try the pizza!

Great information before arriving about table timings, Completely didn't bother us as we had theatre plans. Delicious delicious food and fab service. We treated ourselves to the specials, the prawn linguine and truffle pizza were sooo good! Had a cheeky tiramisu to share, I can definitely say I wont be sharing next time. Can't wait to come back to Mio

A racist place, even with most of the tables empty they deny service, although they try to hide it, the hostility of the person who runs the restaurant is notorious.

I experienced racism, I went around 6:30 pm; and even though the restaurant was empty, the waitress told us that she couldn't give us a table because she had everything reserved until 7:00 pm...in addition to showing a condescending attitude

This place was amazing!, I had the pistachio and mortadella pizza on the special which was so good I ordered one to take back to my hotel! 5/5

Tastes everything so good like you would be @ Naples Italy 🇮🇹

Delicious pizza and pasta. Definite departure from the tourist fare in the area

Wonderful food, very friendly staff and a great location. I'll come back.

Beautiful family run restaurant, lovely fresh pasta and pizza! We tried the fresh tortellini which was devine! We will definitely return to try the pizza Not usually one to leave a review, but this was too good not to mention Advise booking table in advance as does get busy

We had a lovely meal here. It is a small restaurant with an open style kitchen at the end. We had pizza, and it was absolutely delicious and authentic Neopolitan style, thin base and beautiful crust. We saw a calzone come out of the kitchen and it was huge and looked amazing! They only had red or white wine on the menu, but it was perfectly palatable and didn’t bother us. The staff was super friendly and it was great value too. I would definitely go back here again. 5 minutes walk from Westminster. Definitely worth calling to book as it does get busy.

Fantastic food, nice service - highly recommended

We were very surprised in such a small place. Hidden back street eatery in London Westminster so delicious to eat! It was clean and the waitresses were very friendly. It's just a little small, otherwise great!!

Tasty Food and very friendly Service!

We tried pizza and spaghetti which we all found delicious. The waiter very friendly and willing to explain to us what was needed.

The Food overall was good, the Gnocchi I had (pesto) was a bit too garlicky for my taste but quality of the food wasn't Bad, atmosphere was lacking without any sorta background music, staff were friendly and helpful when it came to asking about dietary requirements, overall I'd recommend Mio

Small restaurant but worth it, one of the best Italians to eat in London
