Obica Mozzarella Bar - Canary Wharf in Tower Hamlets

a neighbourhood favourite, people living and working in Canary Wharf will tell you this. Try the tiramisu.

Nice place to eat delicious Italian food and enjoy an easily accessible environment. Would definitely go back!

Great tasting authentic Italian cuisine and some of the best Expresso Martini’s I’ve had in London! The restaurant staff were also extremely friendly and attentive, I’d definitely recommend Obica for those looking for a quality Italian restaurant. Location in Canary Wharf is a plus also.

Yummy pizzas. I go there since 2015, so nice to see the same manager taking care of you. In the meantime i even moved abroad and visiting when i go back to London My go to place for a dinner by myself- treated with care while enjoying my favourite pizza and wine… Hopefully this place survives as pong as i like to go back.

Great food and drinks ❤️. I just love it 😋😋

Was such a perfect spot for our date night last night, such a gorgeous vibe and aesthetic, the best Italian in Canary Wharf! Paige x

The lunch special menu is a bargain. The quality of the cheese is excellent. Everyone loved everything they ate. Our server was top notch. The only negative was the noise.

Back at this restaurant for a business dinner after attending a conference. Great to see familiar staff, eat reliably fresh and delicious food, and have great service. Be sure to try the new Prosciutto Cotto pizza and a pint of their own OBICÀ CAPO beer.

Lovely Italian food and takeaway options.

I have been everywhere and this is by far without exception, probably the worst coffee bar in London. The service is exceptionally slow, iceberg slow. It's not as though I've been once or twice, I've given it a chance due to proximity. The drinks are really bad, and the price is twice that of Starbucks downstairs, which has good coffee and drinks, good snacks, decent service and better prices. And that's just a typical Stsrbucks. The other thing I'd thebportions are tiny, for example, a normal coffee plastic mug here is smaller than the size of a small at Starbucks but more expensive than a large, and the drink will taste off and you'll wait 5-10 minutes for it assuming no one else is being served and the place is empty.

Solid service, good food, great olive oil used...

Great place for dinner. Mozzarella degustazione experience was exceptional. We had the pleasure of getting served by a wonderful waitress called Rosa.

Nice, clean, a lot of people pass by.

I had a nice pizza in pleasant surroundings in CW. Quick, efficient service and good food. I managed to be in and out within an hour.

Had a great time. Party of 7 people. Everyone enjoyed it!

Manager Rita made my dinner at Obicà truly memorable! Her attentive, friendly service perfectly complemented the fantastic food, making the entire evening exceptional. Rita's professionalism and genuine care elevated the experience. Highly recommend this place!

Service was very good, but the food a little cold and nothing special for the price you pay. I noticed that the food was often left under the heat lights waiting to be served. My cod was just warm and nothing special. My colleague only ate half and she explained later that she had the same experience. My other colleague had the truffle pasta and said it was very good. Ive been here twice now and both times the food / pasta has been tepid.

There food was soo small…like i could count the pasta on the plate….never again but nice services dou

Amazing pizza! I ordered a takeaway on Deliveroo, it was great. Cheesy, crunchy, delicious. I loved it.

Lovely European outdoorsy decor. Lasagne didn't feel homemade, wasn't very crispy not cheesy. Tomato bruschetta was really nice. Good location.

I ordered the Tagliolini which was almost 20 pounds and it was comically bad and tasteless.

Friendly service exquisite pizza delicious and fresh...highly recommend

Fabulous food and wine and excellent service, with a smile. Quite noisy due to the location but we liked the al fresco feel while being indoors. Particularly enjoyed the taste of Italian lemons in the fresh tortelloni, very good vitello tonnato and the lightness of the tiramisu.

I really enjoyed my drink and food at Obica the ambience was very nice and the staff were quite friendly. Had a fun encounter wid a female bartender she impressed me by making my favourite drink the perfect way. Though I thought she was a little too young to work at the bar but her knowledge about the drinks and her speed proved me wrong.

Very tasty food! Lovely staff !

First time in here Enjoying my white Americana, in the fresh air by the water on this sunny Tuesday afternoon around 13:15 Service could be better , I accepted the waiter who dropped some coffee on the saucer apology

It is a good choice in Canary Wharf, very reliable.

Lasagna are good, a bit pricy though.

I had a highly disappointing experience on Monday morning. The staff member (canary wharf branch) was incredibly rude, openly complaining about her job and how clients were bothering her. Her attitude completely ruined my morning. All I wanted was a simple coffee to start my week, but instead, I left feeling frustrated and disrespected. Considering we are regular customers and love the food (living locally) this is just so sad

Went for lunch, was a bit over priced but still enjoyed the sit down meal. Spent just under £40 per person, with no alcohol, just a soft drink. Ordered cacio e pepe, wasn’t traditional (as it had red chillis on, rather than the typical pepper taste). They have a mozzarella bar, so we tried some and that was tasty. The service was good, no complaints.

Better than in Rome. Nice people as Staff. I love it. And i will come again.

Great pizzas and pastas. Mozzarella is fantastic.

Fresh tortellini dish was average. 5 pieces for 18£ is a rip

I was really looking forward to eating a pizza as I’ve heard brilliant reviews about Obicà. Unfortunately I was met with a mannerless chef called Luigi, whom communicated in an aggressive manner, not only to his colleagues but of his handling of the food. From the bar where I was seated directly across from the kitchen, I watched him mishandle the food, kick the machine, swear at his colleagues and more. His general demeanour, attitude and handling was very poor, I even lost appetite for a much wanted meal I had been craving for. How disappointing

Called here for an impromptu pizza. Menu was a little hard to understand. The pizza was average considering the price point.

Have eaten here a few times. Always nice; on this visit carbonara somewhat oversalted, but I forgive them for this. I am however a heavy smoker, so a normal person would've had to complain or not eat it..

It's alright and that's it. Nothing mind-blowing, and way overpriced for what it is. To be honest, on the next day I barely remembered what food we had and that's not because we drank a lot - difficult to do so when a 0.33L beer is £8+.

From a party of 9 we had mixed views about the food. Some said it was good others thought it was ordinary. Overall not good value for money.

Friendly staff, they accommodate all of our request. Food was very very good especially the figliata that we share as starter. Wow. Will definitely recommend it.

The menu had little choice. My husband ordered the carbonara. It was served with pasta tubes and had a few bits of pancetta and very thin sauce. The Soave wine which was the most expensive was not particularly good.

Amazing as always 💫 the wine was our favourite part !

Not a bad place, food is OK, staff - knowledgeable and helpful. A decent choice to eat at Canary Wharf.

AVOID - £8 / pint and they add on an 18% (I think) service charge without telling you. Even if you have to go up to the bar to order the drinks they forgot to serve you. Staff also leave the payment machine open on 'add optional tip' without making the non-optional tip clear. Disingenuous and disgraceful. Plus over £18 for 2 pints.

Excellent food and service. Carbonara was the best we have ever tasted , as frequent visitors to Rome that is something special.

It was a very nice dinner with my partner, we had a nice time there.

I’ve been here twice now and it’s a decent spot for a casual outing. Love the ambience and service was decent.

Friendly staff, good food, agreable location,fast service, good price.

Perfect work lunch! Speedy service and tasty food.

Good pizza :) I tried the pumpkin and black truffle one. Good service.. friendly staff. I don't like the fact that the restaurant is a bit open... tables (for two) a bit too small. The dessert "almond cake with ice cream" is also delicious. For two people around £70, pizzas/drinks/dessert and coffee.

Fabulous Italian lovely food and excellent service

Good quality food, excellent service. Enjoyed a pre show dinner.

Fantastic fantastic fantastic!! The best pizza and service in Canary Wharf

Everything is good, good flavors...good atmosphere...although it is in a hall...it is not noticeable...and it seems that you are in the environment of a traditional restaurant. The dessert and the carbonara of 10...to repeat... And with good prices...

Food is average. Service is good. The location makes for a poor atmosphere.

However the plate's size can be bigger considering the prices.

Charging for normal water. Really? Food was normal and tasty. But isnt that expected anyways. Over prized. Value for money was definitely missing.

Convenient for a good efficient Italian lunch or Dinner. Standard quality, lasagna was compliant, in good average. It is a good casual Italian place with the traditional plates. Commercial wine list and high note on the service, quick, fast and attentive.

Our family of five all really enjoyed the food and service. Recommended.

Food was good, service in general was fair. Was quite busy but it felt a bit chaotic at times with some drinks being served warm.

Great location and ambience. Staff are helpful. Good service. Food delicious. Great place to bring children

Average food quality. We were a party of 8 and everyone pretty much left the meal unimpressed. I had the prosciutto pizza and papperdelle pasta. Both were ok, nothing that flavorful. Staff were excellent however and made up for the average food!

Doesnt worth the price and bad service

Reliable food option in the wharf

Visited Obica for a meal by myself while travelling for work on a weekday evening. The food itself is really nice. You can taste the quality in the ingredients used. Portion sizes represented good value for money. The only negative is that the venue is located inside a glass atrium with a public walkway so it's not the warmest or quietest location. There were only 2 staff waiting tables so they were a little swamped but friendly so really just a staffing issue that night rather than any issue with the staff.

Pizza is good, nothing to write home about though.

Loved our dinner with few friends. Food was good and dessert of tiramisu as well! Would consider going back more too!

The food was all right but with a bottle of wine it was a bit expensive.

We felt rushed to choose from the menu. The restaurant was empty. Food wasn't what we'd ordered tagliatelle was penne pasta etc

Really nice atmosphere and lovely drinks and food. Service was also great! Perfect evening! Thank you

Tempting menu with many taste options. The special turkey dish was superb with large slices of real turkey (not lunch meat) and nice gravy and the pizza was super thin and the cheese delicious. Excellent service and prices were reasonable. We would have eaten there often if we had found it in time. It was much better than more expensive restaurants.

This is great find! The food is amazing. I would recommend.

So, I'm back. I work in CW and have been here on and off for a number of years. I really like it. The surroundings are pleasant, the pizza's are good (I always have pizza) and the service is efficient. If you're looking for a quick Italian lunch with good ingredients, this is a great option.

The place was just too cold and there were ants on the table from the pot plant. Really need to invest in outdoor heater and artificial plants

An average sized restaurant in a massive building, but a pleasant ambience is still present. The food tasted good overall and service was friendly and relatively quick. The reason I downgraded the star rating is down to value for money. Mocktails are way overpriced, the portion sizes for non mains dishes were poor. They add a hefty service charge on the bill, so we ended up paying £115 for two starters, 2 pizzas and 1 non alcoholic drink. I appreciate the building rates must be eye watering, but I would not class this as an upmarket restaurant to justify higher prices.

Amazing food, great ambience and quick service!!!!

Would be better to include vegetarian cheese as the current cheeses contain animal rennet.

Great pizza and very friendly service. I come here gladly often both for dinner and to grab a coffee - very pleasant ambiance.

I work in the office near obica, and we found out about too good to go app and we wanted to try it out The blonde lady, with the ridiculous lip filler was super rude didn’t let me explain the app was not working and just got super aggressive Please change you attitude,do not start talking without letting the guest explaining you should consider changing your job

Visited for a work lunch. Good food, drinks and service.

One of the best carbonara pasta in London! Original ingredient and top quality

Se come muy rica pizza 😍 los mozos son muy amables

Lovely meal, efficient service, really nice atmosphere, would definitely return

I ordered via a delivery app because obica's webpage was down. It stated a pickup time of 8:15-8:30. I arrived at 8:10 and picked up my pizza only to find it cold to the touch. It looks unappetizing like it had been sitting out for 30+ minutes. It's dry, congealed and cold. I'm staying in a hotel so I can't heat it up. I would NEVER recommend this place. Go elsewhere for pizza. Also asked for extra cheese and got none.

Gute Italische Küche mit guten Getränken

Great food with the mozzarella being the highlight that you'd expect. It does seem like sitting in a departure hall, so more for lunch than a romantic dinner.

Terrible service, especially from the bartender who was very rude. Overpriced food that seemed precooked (food was served quicker than the wine...)

Me and my boyfriend went for a meal at Obica this weekend. The staff were friendly. They topped up water glasses when they were empty. I had a pizza which was really really salty. But other than that the food was amazing. Atmosphere is nice, music in the background. Would recommend going for a meal with your mates or a date night.

Booked based off reviews and I’m so pleased I took a gamble! Great service, fantastic food and reasonably priced for the quality of the food and location. Will definitely be back!

We went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday at last notice and the staff was just brilliant, the food was great and we had a lovely evening. If you’re looking for a good italian place in CW, we strongly recommend this place

My recent outing to Obica in Canary Wharf was an average experience at best. While the restaurant offers a pleasant setting and a varied menu, the overall dining experience fell short of expectations. Service was efficient but lacked the warmth and personal touch one might hope for. The food, while decent, didn't stand out in a way that would make me rush back. In a neighborhood with many dining options, Obica's performance left me with a feeling of mediocrity.

I liked it. The thing that sets this place head and shoulders apart from other places is the location. It has both inside and outside dining, and the view is the best in town in my opinion for the price and selection. And Obica has all bases covered, from a cup of coffee or tea to everything else on the menu. The staff is nice and service good. Highly recommended.

Service was impeccable and food and drinks came promptly despite a busy lunchtime period. Food was cooked beautifully, so fresh and authentic. Looking forward to returning.

Nice Italian place in CW offering pizza, pasta and mozzarella bar. We tried the Obica experience which was delicious. Yummy dips, bread, and choice of two cheeses. Tiramisu is excellent. Can’t wait to try more.

Went here for my Mams 70th Birthday food and wine was lovely. Staff were so friendly and they even brought a mini tiramisu out for my Mam at the end. Highly recommended!

I had a long overdue catch up with up a friend and she suggested this venue which was convenient for us both. It is based in a shopping mall type environment with a lot of foot traffic walking to Canary Wharf tube. The service was good and the nibbles we ordered were pretty good. Not cheap but then it is CW. Would go again to try the food next time.

we all enjoyed our meal at OBICA - tried some new dishes ( hot melon and peppers) and good quality all round. great service and accessible for one person in our group who uses a wheelchair.

Thinking of Italian Afternoon Tea in Canary Wharf? Yes, this afternoon tea menu is not the usual one you find on the high street as it comes with an Italian twist! Escape the busy high street London to Canary Wharf, where you can enjoy summer within this Alfresco Terrace with Thames Riverside view. It’s the perfect place for your afternoon well spent especially if you live around the wharf, it’s just a stone throw away. Sharing the afternoon tea menu for your next visit: S A V O U R Y - Bruschette - Pomodorini del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP and Fresh Oregano - Veal, Tuna Sauce, Fried Caperberries, Datterini Tomatoes Confit, Rocket - Focaccia Sandwiches - Scottish Smoked Salmon and Avocado - Prosciutto Crudo di Parma DOP and Stracciatella di Burrata W A R M B I T E S - Fried Mozzarella Bites and fried sage - Arancini with Parmigiana Reggiano DOP and Black Summer Truffle - Sautéed Friggitelli Peppers and Melon with lamb’s lettuce, mint, sea salt S W E E T - Tiramisu - Torta di Capri - Obica Signature Ice Cream Though I know this is for afternoon tea but I still feel it’s quite a mandatory to have a pizza in Italian restaurant so yes I did order my favourite! P I Z Z A - PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA with Mozzarella di Bufala, Organic Tomato, Rocket

The food is simply amazing. The pasta is so fresh and cooked to perfection, the pizza is fabulous and of course, the mozzarella ! This is a favourite in Canary Wharf !

One of my fav spots in Canary Wharf. Friendly staff, great service, amazing food and ... awesome playlists!

Food was excellent and very professional staff. It was also very quick. Portions are quite small but we found it adequate.
