Nolito in Luton

Great food friendly staff, polite and excellent service ,child friendly

Had breakfast before and early flight. £13.50 for 3 small pancakes, a tiny pot of maple syrup and a few berries. The mascarpone was tiny in size. Absolute rip off.

It was very impressive that Nolito does everything to offer a high-end Italian bar and restaurant experience at an unbelievably reasonable price range. While most of the airport dining establishments charge the same or more for reheated small amount of greasy food, Nolito does the complete opposite!! The quality of the ingredients was top-notch. I could right away tell that they cook everything fresh in the kitchen upon order, and the amount of food is very filling, just like in Italy. The starter calamari fritto misto I had was very authentically Italian, to which I would have to expect to pay for significantly more at a London restaurant, but Nolito generously offers it at only £11. The staff members also made my quick bite visit very comfortable. They are all very attentive, sophisticated, yet remaining friendly. I will definitely come here straight for a genuine Italian dining experience whenever I fly from Luton. The location is closer to brand-named shops after most of restaurants. If you walk pass by all the low quality overpriced airport restaurants, then you can find this true Italian culinary sanctuary inside Luton airport! Today was my first time at Nolito, and I was so impressed that I searched for other Nolito branches in town, but this airport actually is the only place Nolito currently exists. It is a luxury Luton airport passengers can only enjoy :)

Had an amazing lunch at Nolito! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. A special shoutout to Sonu, our waiter, who was super attentive and made the experience even better. The ambiance was great, and the cocktails were top-notch. Can’t wait to come back!

Get very sick after eating pasta there. Avoid!!!!

Nolito is the best place ever to have lunch, listen nice music and wait for your flight! Thank you so much dear Aswathy for your kindness and your lovely smile! 🙏🌹 ............ This is a new review, because for me this is the second time at Nolito and definitelly will be not the last one! Nolito is a nice place with amazing, kind staff! I travel a lot and I enjoy to be here meanwhile I'm waiting my flight! Today I had a very tasty oat latte, exactly how I wanted and the best tiramisu! Thank you so much dear Niki for everything and thank you Aswathy for your lovely smile! It was nice to see you again! Big thanks Nolito! 🙏🌷😘🤗

Lovely preflight lunch, served by Niki. Nice atmosphere, friendly service.

Sandra was lovely! Great and quick service.

excellent service by darren and gio, they were very helpful and made my day.

Nice relaxing place to eat. Food was good. Kids enjoyed it as did the adults. Served by Annika who was very nice and efficient

The location is very nice very comfortable.

Sandra was brilliant. Lovely food, lovely service. Thank you 😊

Katy Perry was a great server... Don't think that was his name but still was polite and gave me my drink at an airport

A hidden gem offering a fusion of global flavors in a cozy space

The service was very bad and slow, even though it wasn’t crowded. We asked for garlic sauce, but they never brought it. We also requested the bill, but they didn’t bring it until my partner had to follow up. I don’t suggest it.

Awesome service by bar team they were friendly and made awesome cocktails

Thank you for the nice cocktail… it’s really amazing❤️❤️

The food was great! Amazing service and very attentive staff members

I am a regular traveler out of Luton Airport and this is my regular spot. Very good service at the bar.They keep you engaged and a good place to kill couple of hours.

I just found out that employees do not get wages set out in their contract. It's a "service not included" meaning employees are paid by tips, which by nature should be on top of wages, in reward for above average service, decided by customer, not extorted from customer by implying that unless Tim is given, employee won't be paid. This is not USA, practices of exploitation of both clients and own employees this way aren't a part of culture. When I look at menu and see price, I expect everything needed for me to enjoy my meal is included in that price. That is, table, chair, plate, fork and knife, food, someone who will make it and bring it to me. To demand me to pay extra at the end us cheating me. To deny employees fair and stable wages is cheating on own employees. This place just lost a customer. And I told staff there are better jobs out there. Reply to owners reply: No, I will not contact you directly. I want these practices out. Practices and companies using these practices. I want you out. Thus, I'm not giving you my custom, and by now, you know exactly why. This leaves you with improvement opportunity, choice is yours and yours alone. I'll spend my money elsewhere. Edit2: Staff says they're paid out of tips, manager says staff is paid wages plus tips. Someone lies. Either way, not a comfortable situation. And either way I will leave this review as it is. Someone will read it. Will be warned. Will be looking. And clients experience combined with further reviews will be talking.

got served by Gio , 2 portions of fries and was such a short waiting time it made me forget I was in a busy airport he was attentive and quick with his service would definitely come back again and may even try one of the pizzas they have as they look delicious

Under the torment of a delayed connection, Nolito Italian Restaurant was a HAVEN. Never before had i had a drink made so perfectly to my tastes, if I was MI6 i may even have been tempted to have my drink stirred not shaked, and all thanks to Darren who went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my short stay was as comfortable as possible. <3

Super impressed with both the food and the service! The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient who made sure I had everything I needed. Special thanks to Darren( ^ω^ ) It’s the perfect place to grab a quick, tasty meal and refreshing Aperol Spritz before heading to your gate. Highly recommend!

They give us an unwashed glass, it was disgusting, not even an apology or an offer to replace the glass and drink we poured in it.

Sandra was great and very efficient, higly recommended Will come back if we got chance

Gio - is the best guy behind the bar, very polite, prompt on orders just great !

Doesn’t feel like you are at an airport ✌️

Absolutely wonderful! Great service, staff was really sweet and super efficient, and the English breakfast was exactly what I expected! Friendliest price (and service) in the airport too! Highly recommend it!

Food good quality, speedy service in line with airport schedule.

I recently visited Nolito, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. I ordered a flat white, and it was absolutely spot on rich, creamy, and perfectly brewed. The real highlight of my visit, though, was the exceptional service I received from Gio. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and warm. Gio was attentive, friendly, and made me feel right at home. It's rare to experience such personalized service, and it truly made my visit stand out. I’ll definitely be coming back!

A nice quiet restaurant in such a busy place! Food was really good and staff very nice especially Sonu!

Had lunch yesterday on our second visit to Nolito recently. Food, wine and service really good so will not hesitate to eat here next time. What might help your hard-working staff is a simple notice asking customers to wait to be seated, rather just walking in and seating themselves at a random table - this was very noticeable and must be frustrating for the servers.

Great service from Bikesh, fantastic breakfast, superb coffee.

Aswathy was a polite and courteous server Good food delivered quickly piping hot and tasty

I only had a croissant and a coffee so can’t really rate the food much, atmosphere is of a typical airport cafe but I would totally want to shout out to Karolina - a member of staff there who was the most enthusiastic, pleasant and polite.

The waitress Aswathy was very kind.

Shown table very efficiently and quick. Very quiet. Only one waitress appeared to be in area. Ordered drink and pizza. Drink arrived after only a few minutes. Pizza took +30 mins and cold. No table return to ask if food was ok. Trying to pay the bill was just as long as wait as pizza. Not great service

The only option for food when at Luton Airport, our server Sonn was very helpful at giving recommendations!

nice amount of foods,priceand services

Food was not bad for airport standards. Service was a little sluggish but the waiter was courteous. The atmosphere resembled a canteen, more American than Italian but good nevertheless.

This is a cookie cutter fake Italian with poor food, basic service and zero character. The food is overpriced (standard airport) uninspired, not tasty and served slowly and dispassionately. This is the kind of brand you could change daily and no one would notice. Even the chips were poor... What a shame.

Abin and the waitress with blond highlights (maybe more of a balayage) and glasses where super

Classic Italian cuisine. The prices are high, but the food quality and taste are good. The shrimp pasta and lasagne were good, the caprese salad was great. However, I didn't like the squid rings. They were tasteless, and the batter was overcooked (it crumbled, being very soft). Overall a good impression, I was pleased with the service

First of all, I would like to thank ABIN for the excellent service. I would also like to congratulate Chef ANDRZEJ for the delicious mushroom risotto.

The food here is amazing, I had a full english breakfast and it in my opinion, it is the best at this airport. The staff are very friendly and approachable and willing to help, I felt comfortable asking them for things. I will keep eating my breakfast here everytime I fly from Luton.

Airport restaurant so pricy is expected but still not value for money. Service was very slow (20 mins for 2 hot drinks); food arrived a moment later. Food was tasty and well made. If I'm honest, I probably wouldn't have been as dissatisfied if the wait hadn't been so long without communication.

Florin was noticeably lovely, the food and drink were great, £4 for two eggs on their own seems a bit wild to me but aside from that I loved it!

Polish lady working on 15/2/25 had a lot of bad attitude towards customers. She was in a visible bad mood supposedly because of understaffing

Amazing pizza , wine like in Italy - my secound favourite place on luton airport 😍it was nice to be yours guest . Thank you and see you next time. The wonderful service at the restaurant deserves a raise.

Best food in the airport Luton! Ask if Miki is there! Best services from the lady! Thank you!

Nolito is a best place to stop at before your flight for sure! Their Egg Royal is the best- my warm compliments to the kitchen team! The restaurant team is great as always by looking after their customers and making sure they are happy and satisfied. It was a real pleasure to have a lovely meal before flying away - big thank you to Boris and his super team xxx

Amazing staff, Sony gave the best service I've experienced in a long time. Ohhh i don't regret adding starter to the spagetti carbonara ; flat bread with garlic and rosemary ; absolutely delicious! And my Americano coffee for desert 😅Thank you so much !😍

Service was great, Florin was our server and couldn’t fault him or the server who showed us to the table

Very nice breakfast. Friendly staff and good service. Florin was particularly excellent. Thanks guys!

Great service and Florin was very attentive and friendly :)

Great breakfast.Good price for an airport full English.Great service from Florth.

I had an amazing dining experience, thanks to our fantastic waiter, Florin! From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. His professionalism and warm personality truly enhanced our meal. If you’re lucky enough to have Florin as your server, you’re in for a great experience. Highly recommend!”

Really lovely food and service, very helpful with our requirements for gluten free. A great start to the holiday.

Delicious food and great service. Thank you Florin and Madi.

Best service from Florin, relaxing atmosphere great smile and vibe, will be back thank you 🤩

Food was average, but Jay as a watress was amazing! Super friendly and polite. Thank you!

Bikesh was really polite and quick to take my order.

The food was perfect! Sandra was very attentive and lovely. Thank you!

Jay was very helpful and nice and enthusiastic, made our day !

Good place to.enjoy a beer and wait you flight

You had to sit at the bar just to drink beer, and it was nice to have a beer in your spare time.

Tasty full English, brilliant service. You don’t need any more waiting for your morning departure. Highly recommend.

Jay was really helpful, always smiling and very friendly. Great service!

Stopped in for a relaxing and delicious meal while waiting for our flight – and we're so glad we did! Our server Jay was so kind and attentive and took great care of us, and the food was absolutely outstanding. So very pleased that we discovered this little haven, where you wouldn't even know you were in an airport. Will definitely visit again... thank you Jay!

ABIN amazing waiters, i orther my breakfast and he recommended me eggs royale and he bring me with some juice in the same time .. that is amazing service.. 100% Nolito..

Very good foods and respectuous staff ! Carry on like that !

Amazing cappuccino made by Aswin.

Waited 30 minutes for pizzas and had to run to the gate. Pizzas are extremely overpriced, even by airport standards. Tasted pretty bland. Not worth it even with the pass.

Excellent food, I had the prawn linguine. The waitress was fantastic, so lovely and friendly. Excellent service. I know where I will be dining at London Luton Airport from now on.

Unfortunately not a pleasant experience for breakfast, breakfast was overly greasy and can't help but feel it was reheated as the egg was burned to a crisp and everything was extremely greasy especially the hash brown. It was a far cry from the people next to me. It also looked like it had just been thrown on the plate. Unfortunately won't be coming here again. Shame as the atmosphere is lovely and it looks like a really nice place. But unfortunately a sore belly later I'm extremely disappointed especially considering the price point.

Lovely place highly recommend , especially Jay our waiter 🙏 all fresh and so quick !!!

Brilliant food and brilliant service by Jay

Well, I ordered a porchini mushroom risotto which taken 25 minutes to arrive, was made with basmati rice and had 0 porchini mushroom in it. … it was drenched with black truffle oil instead… not impressed.

Very tasty food, drink and kind staff! I experienced some restaurants in Luton airport with my Priority Pass, and this is No.1 restaurant. The staff name is Mady.

Good food, lovely staff, thanks Mady

Disappointing Experience... for 71 GBP... I was highly disappointed with the value for money at this establishment – poor quality ingredients which made the food taste bland. The prices were exorbitant, and the service was unprofessional. The kitchen service was exceptionally slow, attributed to a kitchen issue, and team management seemed disorganized and careless. Specifically, the Nutella pancakes arrived cold and hard, making them nearly impossible to cut through. After notifying the staff, it took another 30 minutes for the new pancakes to arrive, leaving my 7-year-old extremely hungry. To add to the frustration, we waited an additional 30 minutes for the bill to arrive, ultimately having to go to the till to pay. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good word to say about the experience I had at this venue – please avoid at all cost !

Great service, well done Sandra

Nicole, thank you for your kind service and commitment. The pizza and toppings were very tasty. We will come back here next time.

Brilliant experience from Bobby! Very attentive and lovely mannerism. Premium service

Probably the best airport experience ever! We were lucky because it was a quiet Saturday afternoon. Only had a pizza and bottle of wine but couldn’t fault it.

Food quality above my expectations, all lovely. Given the fact that this is an airport restaurant, and how busy it is, the staff is doing a great job here.

Just making a personal warning for myself here. This place is terrible. You’ve been here twice and both times the food was really bad. Don’t comeback here again.

Terrible service, waited for the waiter for a good 15 minutes, he served people that got in after us first, pretty crammed space people kept hitting me whilst walking behind me and most importantly the food was average. I had the Nolito burger, small burger no taste dry bun wasnt a fan of the cheese, chips didnt have any taste too. Wont go there again thats for sure. Cheers

Cozy place. Food was delicious and friendly team.

Friendly staff, good food, decent prices

Really nice, cozy place what is quite specjal on the airport :-) Food was tasty and the waiter - Jay was so nice and helpful! From now on my favourite place on Luton.

Friendly service, everything was served very quickly, tasty, and the prices are very reasonable for an airport.

Amazing food and services ! Thank you Aswathy

Nolito Italian restaurant at Luton Airport is a hidden gem for travelers seeking a relaxing start to their journey. Stopping here for breakfast, I was warmly welcomed by the soothing sounds of Italian music and a charming atmosphere—remarkable for such a bustling location. The self-service ordering system was straightforward and efficient, yet the attentive and friendly staff added a personal touch. The breakfast was delicious, offering authentic Italian flavors that were both satisfying and memorable. Despite the busy airport setting, Nolito provided a calming oasis. A perfect blend of great food, convenience, and hospitality. Highly recommended for a delightful meal!

Excellent service by Sandra, very friendly and helpful young lady.

Lovely full english breakfast and great service from Mady. Thank you!

Lovely all around; food was super fresh/tasty and the staff were very attentive!

If there is a "0 stars" review it should be for this place. The pasta we ordered was not cooked, you could see raw flour and big lumps of pasta stuck together. The staff offered to change it and the second lot was still not cooked. I understand the concept of "Al dente" but this was not boiled and you could taste the flour No thanks !

Great food great service thanks Aswathy !

Olena’s service was nice, attentive and friendly! I’ve just had a croissant and an oat dek cappuccino and they were as expected. I’d probably add butter too with the veg alternative, just because as on the menu is indicated butter. But is just a detail! The place was not busy so was good to relax, and stay bit out of the caos of the Luton airport above all when compared to others places around the airport.
