O Ver St. James's in City of London, Westminster

The food is definitely overpriced. I ordered ravioli with prawns which was 5 pieces of ravioli, not big so dont get excited, for £29. The dish wasnt worth it. Overall, it was okay-ish but I won't go again.

Extremely disappointed by the pizza which was nothing exceptional, even rather bland. The portion of ravioli Genovese is simply ridiculous (paid £26.50!), we left still hungry but having paid a hefty bill!!! An extra star for the tiramisu which was very good. We do not recommend it, much too expensive for what it is.

Atmospheric place, polite staff, delicious dishes. We went with a large group.

Very nice upscale restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and also fairly priced.

Food was a bit bland, which was a shame because we were looking forward to it given it has a great rating online.

We were a group of 6 Italians( Napolitan) living in London and we decided to try this pizzeria for first time. We were really disappointed of the quality (especially for how expensive it is) and the day after many of us had stomach problems. Margherita without basil, Salsiccia e Friarielli( only branches, no friarielli and the sausage was not fresh ) was one of the worst in my life and for not mention the Capricciosa. Really disappointed!

Wonderful service. Super nice place. Food and drinks not bad too for price

Food was alright, but expensive and overrated. Everyone's raving about the pizza, saying it's authentic Neapolitan. I've had Neapolitan pizza and it's miles better than this one. The decor and atmosphere are nice though.

Oh.my.god. This place is so good! The pizza? Fire. The pasta? Delicious. The staff is really nice too! The prawn and lemon ravioli is probably some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The pizza crust is delicious too. Ambiance is super nice and upscale. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I were very well attended to, we don't speak English well but they were super receptive!! And the Burrata was super fresh and tasty, hot pizza made with fresh ingredients!!! I recommend it 👍🏻

A very cozy restaurant with friendly service. The food was very tasty, next time I'll try the pizza, which was very appetizing. The very dark chocolate ice cream, just as I love it, took me back to Italy.

It's the first time I've been to London and, by chance, we came across this Italian restaurant. A fantastic find! The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food is simply delicious. I felt at home, with authentic and high quality dishes. Highly recommended!

I was looking for an Italian restaurant and by chance we came across this restaurant that offers typical Neapolitan dishes. I recommend it to everyone, excellent staff. It feels like being in Italy in many aspects. If you happen to be in the Piccadilly area you absolutely must go!!

Impeccable service, very pleasant setting. Very attractive menu including excellent quality wine list. 5/5!

Very central and very tasty Italian. The stone oven pizza is highly recommended. The price/performance ratio is okay for the location.

How to feel at home in London. Excellent food, quality ingredients, fast service and last but not least the welcoming and super friendly staff. We will definitely return.

We arrived at approximately 8:45 The kitchen closes at 9 They let us in, explained the menu, and took our orders We ordered pizza and meat ravioli Very delicious and light The service is great and the place is great The cappuccino is imaginative and has no bitterness The espresso is delicious The affogato is crazy Tiramisu and La Prial with my love, respect and appreciation

A true gem of a restaurant! The food was fresh, tasty, and expertly prepared. The staff was attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable.

Delicious food, great ambiance and excellent service!

The staff were most helpful with my group reservation. We opted for its set menu with our group size that came with starters and dessert for sharing. What I really appreciated was that each guest got to select a main course of choice that very evening. Starters truly enjoyed by all. Pizzas and pastas were amazing. Excellent service too!

Although there is nothing awful about this restaurant, it's nothing special either. Small portions, bit pricey and not somewhere I'd recommend or revisit.

Highly recommended. Great Italian food and good price considering it's central London. Make sure you book in advance as it gets very busy and it's not a huge restaurant.

Food was very good and great atmosphere! The portions are rather small... It's also worth having an appetizer.

Lovely italian restaurant. The food is incredible and the place really quiet. The staff is really sweet, we recommend it 100%

Best Italian restaurant in London. True Neapolitan cuisine. Unsurpassed aubergine parmigiana. Friendly, welcoming and professional staff. Beautiful evening in a very central location. I will definitely be back!!

Refined atmosphere. Very central location in the heart of London. Welcomed by very kind and competent staff. Gabriel, Ester, Pablo, Isac, ready to satisfy each of us always with a smile. Real Italian flavors. A real explosion of taste from appetizers to dessert. Excellent choice of wines. An Italian restaurant in London to frequent often.

Una eccellente esperienza di gusto italiano nel cuore della Greater London. Location curatissima ed accogliente.Sapori nostrani e raffinati, personale sempre presente e gentile. Sicuramente ci rivedranno

What can I say, I felt at home, a very nice place. Impeccable service with truly excellent high quality food. See you next holiday in London.

From an Italiano to an Italian restaurant. The restaurant has both cozy and elegant atmosphere. The dinner was absolutely delicious: we enjoyed every dish, well presented, fresh ingredients and unique flavours. Service was excellent. Indeed, the perfect place in London for who would like to taste italian flavours!

Modern, comfortable restaurant with a pleasant, very warm atmosphere. The dishes, both sea and land, are all delicious, ranging from appetizers to desserts, you will find the true flavors of home masterfully re-proposed by their Italian chef (flavors that ONLY Italy can offer... and let's face it!!! 😃🥰🇮 🇹) All masterfully directed and managed by the super welcoming and friendly Sala staff!

Proche de piccadilly circus. Personnel très accueillant et très sympathique. Les pizzas sont délicieuses. Service rapide. Je recommande.

We enjoyed the perfect pizza here. Simply wonderful…

We felt really lucky to get a table at this restaurant. Absolutely amazing mushroom risotto, spaghetti gamberi, and buratta dishes. The flavours are distinct and clear, and the service was fantastic.

Such a great food and atmosphere! The guy who served us, Pablo, was so friendly and helpful with us and we definitely appreciate it! Best service and food I had in London!!

Fantastische Pizza, fantastisches Team mit toller Kundenbindung und toller Beratung bzgl Allergien (Knoblauch)! Unbedingt reservieren und genießen! Wir freuen uns auf das nächste Mal!

The food is beautiful and delicious, the service is friendly, but the wine list and wine service needs alot of work. A number of the wines listed were not available and the first thing the waitress did was suggest a £98 Barolo to replace a £44 Langhe Nebbiolo that had run out (fortunately I was on my guard for this). Having turned this down, it soon became clear that the wine list vintages bore no resemblance to the real vintages. South Italian red can be tannic and not at it's best when young. A 2019 is not the same as a 2023! After much debate, I ended up with a decent wine, which arrived about 5 seconds before my starter. If you are going to charge £44+ for wine and add 15% service, please splash out on a wine list edit and reprint and please make sure your guests have good time to taste their wine before the starter arrives.

The food was quite good in terms of quality, with one drawback, the pasta plate was a bit small. Special mention should be made of the treatment of the hostess, which was spectacular.

Pretentious. One word could be enough to describe the entire experience. While food was good to very good, service swung from bad to awkward (at 15% service charge).

Good authentic food. Pizzas are their specialty in my opinion. A bit on the expensive side but worth it in my opinion for the service and ambience.

I want to emphasize that the service was great and it was a very nice place- but the food- so mediocre! The bruschetta was bland and forgettable- not nasty but just eh. The pizza much of the same- and a textural nightmare even by the standards of neopolitan pizza. Also overpriced for what you get. Tons of better pizza places of this kind all over London- this is one of those well it’s a bit late and I saw a show at the ICA- and this seems like a close place to get a good bite.

Probably one of the best pizzas in town. Friendly service. We had a birthday lunch celebration here for 5 people, and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. Good Italian wine too!

Good Pizza, a little cramped for a group booking of 6 but over all the food was good

Food is good and service too, but expensive for a pizza and pasta. It’s on average 18£ for a pizza.

We settled on this charming eaterie for a pre-theatre meal and boy, we're we glad we chose this place! From the start, welcomed into a modern chic room with open kitchen showing the pizza creations, and a smart bar top with seating. The table are well proportioned and comfortable leather seating. The staff are friendly, professional and clearly care about service and the quality of the food that they provide. The wine list is excellent, we had the sicilian red, and I noted that all bar 1 of the wine offerings was Italian! We shared the Bruschetta to start, which was delightfully tasty, with fruity, sweet tomatoes. Then my partner had truffle tagliatelle whilst I had fusilo with Italian sausage. Both dishes were excellent and throughout the service was attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed (nay, loved) our meal here, and will be returning as soon as we can arrange a london break!

Overall it wasn't bad, but I can't say the food was very delicious. The truffle pasta was good, we did not like the pizzas and tiramisu. The tiramisu was particularly disappointing for us. But the service and atmosphere werr fine. Thanks!

Food is good, but service was mediocre and inattentive, and it was rather poor form for the waitress to try to ask for an additional tip on the card machine after having already charging a 15% service charge!

The place is lovely and cozy, the service was exceptional. But the food wasn’t what we expected. We ordered truffle burrata, mozzarella with aubergine, and spicy pizza with strachatella. Aubergine was the most delicious dish we had. Pizza was just ok, and burrata lacked any interesting taste. Cocktails were good.

I booked twice for this place and as an Italian I found extremely disappointing that they had a “unexpected private event” with only 2hs notice. I have trailing emails of them begging me to go have dinner in their “private dining room” (my lawyer said this was a basement ahah). Amici, wake up. See you never, my industry knows about your “resevation system” failure. Will do my best not to recommend this place to my wide network.

I recently dined at O’ Ver St. James on a bustling Saturday night, and I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. Despite my last-minute reservation, everyone was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. The ambiance was very relaxing , and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great service and outstanding Neapolitan food!

Fantastico! The food was very good! Parmigiana,arancini,carpaccio and tartare were divine. The pizza and mains were full of flavor, Amazing! The staff was welcoming and Always attentive. We'll definitely be back.

While the pizza was great as were the starters, the pasta did not live up to expectations. Would probably return if it weren’t for the customer service, which was disappointing. The lady serving us appeared annoyed all evening, didn’t check in unless called on repeatedly, almost threw the cutlery and plates on the table, and despite announcing at the beginning that they needed the table back after 1.5 hours, was incredibly slow in taking orders and responding to requests. EDIT: had to reduce to 1 star as partner ended up with symptoms of food poisoning hours after our visit.

Beautiful place in centrale London. The staff was friendly . The food was delicious. Authentic italian cousine. Highly reccomended.

If you like napolitan pizza, this is the place to go. Exceptionally good pizza with the perfect crust, right amount of olive oil and made from high quality ingredients. Not sure if on Top50 list this year but it is absolutely worth to visit. Ravioli were very good, interesting flavour, ragu filling super tasty and full of flavour. We also tried the focaccia with parmesan - good but reminded us a pizza dough. Overall, great place for a dinner. We had an early dinner and were done within 1 hour. Staff was attentive and food prepared very quickly.

We came across this place by chance, but it was a wonderful discovery, the pizza is really delicious. I recommend it!

Amazing experience! The service was fantastic, too—friendly, quick, and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu! Highly recommend to any pizza lover.

Really average food, overpriced, and not at all worth it.

Best pizza in London, Over is an authentic Italian restaurant and definitely my favorite place to go when I’m home sick of my country! Ostuni pizza is my favorite, also loved Parmigiana and Ravioli. Service attentive and kind from Sheka.

Despite a reservation, we were rudely turned away.

Amazing pizza. Literally top 100 in the world. If you are a half a mile away at a tourist trap stop what you are doing and come to this place. The place is booked after 8:00 p.m., but if you get here by 6:00 you can get a table, have delicious pizza pasta, salads, and buratta with eggplant, and you will be very happy

Best Italian restaurant hands down! We shared a few things and they were all amazing!

O’ver offers an extensive selection of classic Italian dishes, covering everything from antipasti to desserts. To start your meal, you can choose from traditional options like arancini and burrata. The main course menu features a diverse array of pasta, gnocchi, and ravioli, as well as a range of pizzas that include both meat and vegetarian options. There are also selections for vegan diners, such as the simple yet popular Marinara, which consists of just a tomato base on the crust. The dessert menu doesn’t disappoint either, with staples like tiramisù and other delectable options that satisfy your sweet tooth. The restaurant itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the overall experience pleasant. However, while the menu is broad and the dishes are prepared in a traditional style, the taste doesn’t quite meet expectations, especially given the premium pricing. For example, the Marinara pizza—a classic that should highlight the quality of its ingredients—fell flat. It lacked the distinctive punch of garlic and felt more like a basic tomato sauce on a crust. Considering the average cost of around £50 per person, this was a letdown. Despite the charming ambiance and attentive service, O’ver’s food doesn’t quite justify its price point. As much as I enjoyed the cozy environment, I would recommend exploring other options if you’re looking for a more authentic taste of Italian cuisine.

Very nice place, very nice food, and the price is excellent

Even though I got dinner here on a Monday night I’m stunned that this place wasn’t packed. The restaurant itself is cosy and feels boutique inside - would be an absolute banger for a date. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious - I think the arancini starter was maybe the best arancini I have had in my life - and came out promptly and beautifully prepared. The staff as well were extremely attentive without being overbearing. Special shout out to Fia (whose name I may be spelling wrong), who was an especially great server and really made the evening. 11/10, would go again and will if I get the chance!

We first visited this restaurant some time ago as part of a London Restaurant Festival/AMEX hopping tour. It was excellent then, and we have been back several times since. Yesterday we attended another Restaurant Festival/AMEX event (4 of us) for lunch provided by this restaurant and 3 other nearby restaurants. The chef came out to speak, and we leant that he uses water from the mediterrean to make the pizzas to avoid adding more salt. The set up (outside), service, food, and atmosphere was excellent! The sunshine helped, but the pizza and and especially the Parmigiana were amazing. Everyone said they wouldn't normally order aubergine, but this was so good. Despite being right in the centre of London, O ver have managed to retain the quality of their food. Not a 'cheap eat', but you get wat you pay for. Great event guys! Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent food and service Ice cream was great dessert

I think the appetizers were good in comparison to other Italian places in London. Great location and the atmosphere was lovely.

The service was a little slow at times and I was given an odd look when I turned down desert for some reason. I always tip and I really despise the 15-% compulsory service charge they add. Food was good though not with five stars.

The food in the “O ver” restaurant was simply incredibly delicious. The pizza was perfectly baked with a crispy edge and fresh ingredients, and the pasta was to die for - seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. What was particularly impressive was how quickly the food was served, even though the restaurant was busy. The portions were sized just right, so you'll be full without feeling overloaded. Overall a perfect dinner experience, I'll definitely be back!

Very nice surprise. Pizzas and ice cream were all delicious (real Italian style), and service excellent. They also have a nice terrace. Will definitely go back.

Lovely welcome, perfect service, very good dishes, pleasant setting, in short we recommend!

Lively Italian restaurant! Pizza and deserts both fantastic

Excellent food, Excellent staff. Will definitely visit again

AMAZING pasta! The pizza was also to die for… everything was cooked to perfection, and our lovely waitress Angelina was so gracious even though we came half an hour before closing time and her recommendations were absolutely on point. Best Italian meal I’ve had in a while! Stellar restaurant and staff!

Great service and great food! Would definitely recommend!

Very good! The manager was super attentive and helpful, the food was extremely appetizing! I will come back whenever I'm in London!

My friend and I just wanted some good Italian food and we actually ended up in one of the best places i’ve been. The stuff was amazing, very prepared, helping us to choose the right dishes for our dinner. The special of the day was so delicious, and the prawn pasta even better! We loved it! Very recommended and please get the Croccante as a dessert, absolutely divine!!

Lovely Italian restaurant. Great selection of music and lighting to create an authentic atmosphere. Waiters are very attentive

Excellent Italian cuisine! The setting is sober, both modern and classic. The servers are very friendly!

Had a great diner at over, great italian food and ambiance!

Really nice restaurant! The food was tasty and the staff is friendly and kind, our waitress (Esther) was very helpful and made us have a good time. Highly recommended, will come back!

Food was fabulous....service however was terrible I won't be returning

I recently went the St James location for dinner. I ordered the prosciutto pizza. It was absolutely amazing and very good value. The restaurant has a great vibe and fantastic decor. I was served Pablo who provided a very good service, very polite, professional and attentive. Highly recommended the tiramasu!

This was my first time here, after being recommended by a friend who wanted to go. The place is very well decorated and has a good atmosphere. The food is some of the best Italian I have ever eaten. Service was very good and food came quickly. Waiting staff were polite and offered recommendedations. A very nice cheeky spot for a date, will definitely impress.

Delicious and authentic Italian restaurant! The ingredients are fresh, the service is good, and I love the flowers on the table. The restaurant is very convenient in the city center. You can make an appointment with friends to go shopping nearby or have lunch or dinner after watching a theater show. 😍 Recommend 5 stars

The food is just incredible. We really enjoyed every bite. Beautiful restaurant, amazing day. Thank you

Good service , lovely food . I will back .

We had a starter and a main and a bottle of a nice Ripasso wine. The Ravioli Amalfitano is warmly recommended, same for the Il Pallastro. Service is very professional and friendly, the whole place is run as it should be but not often met. Maybe a bit high priced, but quality is worth it.

Came here for the first time a year ago and it was amazing (food and service). Came back today and I dont know what has happened… menu has entirely changed, all staff are inexperienced and food is not as good (other than margherita)… shame

Food is below expectations, service was bad & attitude was horrible

Pizza was obviously amazing but I wanna take a moment to recommend our waitress Fia. She helped us choose our dream pizzas and she was very attentive. Thank you.

This was the second time in a month that I have eaten here and once again we had an excellent pre-theatre meal the food is excellent and value for money however I find the wine and drink prices a bit expensive. That said, I will be back in the future.

Great food and service. Pizza is amazing

Lovely place where you can to spend the evening with an amazing Italian Menu and the best pizza in the city. Highly recommend for everyone, italians and foreigner.

It's only my second time visiting the city of London, and during these days I wanted to explore Italian cuisine outside of our country. Not being from here, I didn't have the chance to make a reservation, but when I arrived, the staff at O'Ver managed to find a spot for me and my family on the terrace. Even though the summer here is not the warmest, it was a lovely experience where the service, outdoor music, and food were perfect. I have to say I was amazed by the quality of the products; burratas of this quality are hard to find even in Italy! As a vegetarian, I had a wide variety of options on the menu, and the staff, both Italian and non-Italian, were ready to answer any questions I had, despite my English not being the best. I felt at home, and this will definitely be a regular stop for my future trips. Thank you, O'Ver!

Good food ..loved the salt water pizza

The staff was extremely rude and did not feel very welcomed even after we ended up paying a lot.

I've been to this restaurant with my friends tonight. amazing food and outstanding drinks. The staff was really nice and attentive. we will definitely come back!

A friend who lives in London recommended it to me and he really couldn't suggest anything better. I was lucky enough to be served, exceptionally, by the Manager Gabriel who advised me on both food and beverage, offering me some fantastic combinations. I had a wonderful evening, highly recommended!!

The staff were very obliging and more thsn happy to find us a table at short notice, the food was fabulous too; worth every penny. Thank you!
