Obica Mozzarella Bar - St. Paul's in City of London, Westminster

Best pizza I ever eat! The burata and the tomatoes on the pizza were the real deal from Italy ! The one and only place that the ingredients are from the real Italian regions /farms. So yummy!!

I really enjoyed our small family lunch at this chic contemporary Italian in the city of London. The wretched spring weather this weekday lunch time made for a quiet restaurant, but the welcome was warm, likewise the atmosphere, and some great food. Delicious pizza bread to start, along with fried mozzarella balls, followed by sausage pappardelle and a very attractive and tasty ham/courgette/pepper sauce pizza. Service was attentive and friendly, but not overly so. Just right. Wasn't cheap; not over-the-top either. You do get what you pay for. Do come here - it's lovely.

We chose Obica St Paul for a quiet evening for 6 of us to get togeher, with one guest being gluten free. We had had delicious food in other Obica restaurants and were looking forward to the same. However, when I phoned and said that one of our party was gluten free, after some time of fussing, they finally agreed to accommodate her from the main menu, although they said that Fridays were only Pizza nights. The rest of the party were happy with that so we booked. On arrival we found that "only Pizzas' meant an entire set menu of pizza, including the desert, and the gluten free offer was salad or aubergine or one chicken dish. It was by then too late to change the venue as we were settled so we had to go with the pizza set meal for £29 per head, and after some wrangling managed to get ice cream as desert instead of nutella pizza.. The salad served to the gluten free person, was to say the least, completely uninspiring, I could have done better at home. We did raise our concerns with the poor waitress who agreed that a full 3 course of pizza was not great especially as we had the impression over the phone that it would be possible to choose from starters and deserts - however this was not the case. We felt badly let down, and I personally highly embarrassed as I had organised the event.

Fabulous pizza. Quick, friendly service. Fresh, tasty food. The only downside, being a busy restaurant, it was very noisy.

Me and my lady had an absolutely fantastic pizzas in this place. Service is top notch, staff very kind and really awesome. Recommended for italian restaurant seekers in London!!😃

Slick modern pizza themed restaurant. Good venue with a group of colleagues, especially if you don’t know which pizza to go for (the pizzas were quite basic, although delicious and you could add extra toppings). In a group we ordered a mix of pizzas and shared them out. Also the antipasti and cheese plates made excellent starters to share out. For some people a pizza is a pizza, but these were really good and went down a treat. Good selection of wines and Italian beers.

Waitress were very nice. The place looks clean and elegant too. The pizzas and pastas taste good. They have a really balanced flavours.

My girlfriend and I had a booking on valentines day with the pre-set menu at 6:45pm although our experience was completely unacceptable. This is particularly disappointing because I was a big advocate of the restaurant having had my birthday meal at the one in Oxford Street. Our mains took 1hr 30mins to come out. My prawn pasta was unbearably uncooked, my sauce was obviously rushed and served with no prawns. My girlfriend's duck ragu was equally unacceptable since the duck had barely been cooked and had no sauce with it (again clearly rushed). For the time we waited this was very poor and these had to be sent back. With our desserts coming out 20 minutes later, we missed our second booking in London Bridge at 9pm which spoiled the evening even further. We also weren't served water the whole time even though we asked at least 4 times. Hope others haven't had the same experience.

Incredibly nice interior and atmosphere. Very good value food and attentive staff. Makes for a very enjoyable meal out. 10/10

We came here when it was snowing in December as one of the few restaurants who had updated their availability post cancellations due to the snow. It was quiet but service was still excellent, food great and lovely place for a girlie chin way. Only complaint was that they didn't have any stracciatella, which I love, but more on an inconvenience. Didn't impact the lovely evening.

I love this restaraunt and have been there several times so I booked it for a business meeting. I know times are tough for restaurants right now but this felt slighty understaffed - from the e mail booking that was not acknowledged, followed by a phone booking that was confirmed for the wrong time and then putting my guests on a different table from me so I didn't know they were there for 15 minutes. Items were not available on the menu as it was the last day of this menu and the service was slow. The waiter tried to take my plate before I'd finished eating. Food was ok but I was disappointed not to get my first choice as were my guests. I will go again though in the hope that things get better. The restaurant was busy so I hope this continues and that this was just a one off because my experience previously had been excellent.

i came from the states to visit friends for the first time, and we had reservations here. it was my first time meeting two of the three of my friends in person so we were very excited to share this special occasion! when first arriving at Obica Mozzarella Bar, we were kindly greeted and sat at our table (one of my friends was already there). we had ordered drinks and asked a few questions about the food menu. we then waited to order our dinner.. and waited.. and waited. no one ever came back. so i went up to the bartender and asked if they could please send a server over so we could order, and they did. the food was pretty good, but lacked some for the pricing. the overall experience kind of sucked for someone like myself who was visiting the UK for the first time & experienced less than great service.

A rare combination of delicious food and user friendly service. We love their varieties of cheese and always enjoy to go back there.

We had a great night at this restaurant. The pizza base was thin crispy and light it was one of the best I have ever had. Starters and pasta good too

Friends ate pizza that looked good I had gnocchi friend had pasta. The portions were so small I had to ask if they were starters. Average in taste

I visited Obicà St. Paul's on Tuesday June 8th 2021 for lunch. The food tasted lovely and I was impressed by the quality of service. We were offered to eat indoors or outdoors. Due to the wind, my napkin fell on the floor and the male server who attended to us noticed this and immediately provided me with two extra napkins. After our meal he generously offered us water for our table and made our visit a pleasurable experience. Unfortunately I did not ask for his name, but I will definitely come here to eat again.

I finally managed to return to London on vacation after the lockdown and for the first time I went to Obicà St. Paul. I had a great experience. Beautiful setting, great food, excellent service. Congratulations to the Management, to all the Staff and in particular to Paloma, who followed us serving us with courtesy and professionalism, and to Paolo and Anna who cooked wonderfully for us.

Atmosphere, location and service fine. Food was poor in quantity and unenjoyable. One of our guests commented it was the worst pizza he has ever been served and the tuna salads at £13 each consisted of a few salad leaves and what tasted and looked like canned John West tuna chunks. Food was very disappointing and expensive, I will never eat here again!

My husband and I are Italians living in London for 43 years. We know Obika' in Rome (we always go there when we are in Rome) and it was lovely to be able to taste real Italian food in London as well (not an easy thing to find!)

Had a great business lunch there. The menu offered a wide choice with very tempting dishes. Huge cheese menu. Had a pasta dish with Duck Ragu which was the right sized portions, tasty and flavourful. The service was quick and friendly. The pitch was good...

the main sized salad was 16.50, and consisted of about 4 fine slices of roasted vegetables and maybe 50 grams of mozzarella (which cost 4 quid extra). Daylight robbery imo. I was starving again by 3pm. Service average, but overall I feel robbed...

Always delicious!! We’ve been to Obica a number of times before but on this occasion brought my family who were visiting from abroad. We had a lovely meal - all of the food was delicious and we had a range of different pizzas and pastas...

Loved the food.. was very authentic and just perfect... Could eat everyday! Craving it ever since I left.. well worth the money.

We came here for a team lunch and had a great time. Food was good and super varied so everyone had a good choice from the menu. Staff super helpful and a lovely find in the city.

The food was great. It was my first time at the restaurant. I used to go the Canary Wharf one but started thinking was overpriced. Definitely here wasn’t. The stracciatela was amazing. Super softy. The lasagna was beautiful and smelling amazing. I choose the pasta...

Arrived one lunch time when the place was about 1/2 full. Was told by a waitress that we could have a table but only if we could be out by 2.30. At 2.30 the place was as good as empty. We ate modest pizzas that...

I was there with friends and I had my best italian-food experience ever! Top quality ingredients, all the food is Amazing: it's a true piece of "Bel Paese" in London! Moreover top service and great location! I will come back for sure.

Expect good, honest Italian classics, made very well with good quality ingredients and packing a real punch of flavour. Everything from the burrata to the pappardelle is just delicious. My recommendation: Order one of everything on the menu! (Better take some friends with you, it’s...

Popped in here for lunch after a morning at the old Bailey. Didn’t have any expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Service was a little slow? But it was Friday lunchtime. Food was excellent though. Zero complaints on either main or dessert. Will definitely go again...

Attended as a group of 12. No issues with the service, however a number of item's weren't available due to 'a busy lunch' period a few hours earlier. There was no draft beer on and only had bottles available. The smoked burrata wasn't available and...

Visited here in July 2019 and was so excited to go because, like every other decent human being, I love cheese. When we arrived a waiter came and took our order and I chose to have a few starters and no main (I like variety...

The waiter was really nice and the food was very good. Also the tea is good and they have a pretty bathroom.

We had a hen do meal here and it was incredibly organised, tasty and cost-effective. We felt we really received top quality service and food for an affordable price. Clara, the Events Manager is extremely efficient and no question or request were too difficult or...

Visited Obica for the second time this year and had a great experience. An unhurried dinner with great wine, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The ingredients are authentic which made for a fantastically tasty dinner. Staff are very knowledgable about the food and wine....

Me and my friend had a wonderful lunch here!, Great food and Great service! will be back next time in london.

This was the most horrible meal ever had through MealPal and I don’t think Obica should be on Mealpal. The waitress who served us wasnt bothered to spare any time for us and was absolutely rude and unpolite. I asked if we could sit, but...

Great food , great menu in a very vibrant setting . Staff very friendly but I think really slow in their service. Drinks took an age to come . So I would for sure visit if in the area but you have to push to...

Ok. There is always lots of choices for Italian food. This place rates very highly on all review sites but our lunch for three was £90 and no booze!! We shared the mozzarella sampler starter which was very tasty. But probably a tenner too much....

I had a simple dinner here on a Wednesday night. The service was friendly, staff attentive and our food came out quick - and it was delicious! Will definitely come back again.

Perfect place for an informal lunch. Food extremely tasty and available to suit any appetite. Reasonably priced wines.

We booked through Open Table (well worth using to get points by the way!) and came here early evening for dinner before a show. We had a lovely warm greeting and the service was excellent. I can't comment too much on the food as we...

Service was slow in the beginnend even throughout the restaurant was not in capacity. Improved as the meal started. We tried to order wine but 2 Chianti we wanted were not available though it was listed. Wish they would update the menu. Despite the start,...

Great atmosphere, great staff and authentic Italian food! I would absolutely recommend this place to all those who love Italian cuisine.

Love the pasta here - the Ragu pappardelle is great. The mozzarella and cold meats are very good too. The service can tend to be a bit slow at lunchtime so don’t go if you’re in a rush. Lovely atmosphere, light and airy. Recommend this...

Very near Blackfriars. Delicious variation on the theme of that beautiful yet simple cheese. Noise level a tad loud but great place with fab alcoves!

I went for the n'duja pizza which came very fast and was very tasty. The staff were friendly and it had a nice vibe.

5th visit, always with friends. Relaxing atmosphere, kind and friendly staff, wonderful fresh mozzarella, gorgeous ham & salami platter and perfect wine selection. What else I from this place to have nice time with friends? I will be back again.

The food is okay. The atmosphere is okay. The prices are okay.Nothing exciting, but okay and convenient for the office.

Having been to Obicà in Rome, I was super excited to learn it’s also in London. The place is in a very good area, a minute or two walk away from St Paul’s Cathedral. The restaurant is nice, fancier than the one I’ve been to...

Nothing fancy, food passable but no favour and overcooked and overpriced. Service fine. Surrounding fine so just average.

A small piece of Italy in London. From the same brunch that was featured in Nancy Silverston's Chef's Table episode, now in the UK. Great place to go! The upbeat environment with a DJ, great phone and drinks made it perfect for a happy hour.

I went here with friends and thought the menu looked great. Ordered the nduja pizza which had a few tiny spots of nduja and was almost an entirely tomato based pizza. There were just a few dabs of 'mozarella'. A friend ordered a vegetarian pizza...

We ate last night a party of 9. My starter of melon and Parma Ham was lovely, and my Ragu pasta tasted nice but was only luke warm. With clients so not able to send it back and make a fuss. My colleague had to...

Really good menu with a range of mozzerella dishes as well as more traditional pasta and pizzas. The restuarant has a lovely design - great for a quick pizza and glass of wine at the bar or table service. Staff were very attentive. Only negative...

Qualify and Price excellent with the best service...!!! Nice ambient. The best italian restaurant in the city of London, when you go to Visit St. Paul Cathedral

An excellent place for lunch or dinner near St Paul's Cathedral. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, great food selection and a comprehensive wine list.

It's not a cheap italian restaurant, but the food is great! There are many different sorts of mozzarella and you can choose between many small tapas, pizza, pasta, plates to share,... Very nice!

I have not had to write a review before criticising any restaurant, however, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had. The restaurant failed to bring all of the plates for the first course. Then when we had been in the restaurant...

Afternoon tea or coffee or a for a glass of wine lovely location and great staff that were very helpful

Went for a late business lunch on a gorgeous hot sunny day and so chose to sit outside. As we started at 2pm it was very quiet after 2.30 and we hardly saw any staff after that time. At the end of the meal and...

Visited on Friday night. Arrived at 5.30 and left at 10pm after mozzarella, tapas, desserts and wine - many of which are great for vegetarians. Service was fantastic thanks to all the staff team, and in particular to Leira (apologies for the spelling) our waitress...

This is a lovely place to go if you want a great lunch in a nice environment with attentive waiting staff. The meat and cheese is really good as is the selection of tapas. The main courses look good but to date I never strayed...

The mozzarella choices are to die for and the pasta tastes creamy and hearty and feels like a warm hug. Would go more often but the quality has quite a high price so it is a rare treat.

This was my third visit to Obica and yet again the variety of food was great, delivered quickly and tasted wonderful. It is certainly somewhere that is becoming very popular as there wasn’t a free table when we left.

Delicious all round Took a tapas approach by ordering lots of dishes to share. Our particular favourite was the spinach and ricotta ravioli- the best I have tasted!

I booked this restaurant on the off chance it would be similar to the one in Rome but unfortunately it was not even close. The service was alright, I don't think they were that busy when I came in but by the time the rest...

Arrived here just before the kitchen closed but they accommodated us and we had an excellent late night meal, the lasagne was particularly tasty

I have been here with my husband just yesterday night. We are both Italian and we are loyal customers of obica: we have been in the one in Rome and the other in Poland street few times having the best dinners ever. Because we were...

Mozzarella is great!!!, but one of us ordered the risotto (Pasta of the day) and they brought us spaghetti. Attention was very slow.

Going to theatre at Temple Church to see Richard iii. Only had an hour. Restaurant was very close to our City Thameslink station. Looked inviting. Charming, friendly and attentive staff. Seated and drinks within minutes( Friuli Italian wine 👍) food ordered and arrived quickly. I...

Went there for a quick lunch. Restaurant has a very nice ambiance and staff was friendly and service good. Their coffee and tiramisu was to die for. Will come again soon. Only reason why not 5 stars: for my taste menu should have some more...

Good pizza. Ordered quickly. Nice to see wholemeal base option. Open and airy setting. Coffee wasn't bad either.

Went for coffee with a couple of colleagues and had to practically beg to be served. Ignored by three members of staff and ended up seating ourselves. Coffee wasn't bad though !

We went to Obica for lunch. Convenient location near Citylink station. It is a new restaurant which opened in 2016. The decor is new and cosy. Service was friendly, professional and efficient. Our main course (sea bass) + dessert were very good. Good value for...

Relaxed place to have lunch or take a drink after work. Tucked away so not getting the crowds but that is fine. Nice layout and bar area. This time offered small nibbles to add to our wine orders. Friendly although sometimes difficult to attract attention...

Here for the first time and ordered the set lunch menu. For £12, you get to choose between pasta, salad or pizza and you get 4 mini "tapas" on the side. The portion size is ok but if you are looking for a proper filling...

We were a group of eight and I wasn't sure how well that would work, but they gave us a long table at one side of the restaurant and it was ideal; we could hear each other talk and didn't feel that we were disturbing...

Went there for lunch and the lunch menu is really NOT good value for money as the portions were extremely small. (the pizza as a main was effectively a quarter of a standard one!) Service was slow and staff did not ask us about our...

I had a mushroom soup and then a chicken salad. My colleague also had a mushroom soup and then a lasagne. Service was chaotic and the server didn't speak very good English. We were brought the wrong food, which they took back and corrected in...

I already knew Obicà because there is one in Florence, my hometown. I wanted to show real Italian food to my English friends and I decided to bring them to have a meal at Obicà. The ambience and the menu are similar to the ones...

Had a mid morning coffee with a colleague. Coffee was mediocre and service was poor/slow/non existent. Restaurant looked good though.

We went there on a Friday evening, we were able to seat outside.The chairs were comfy, and it was away from the main street so the cars didn't bother us at all. The waiter was nice and professional, he came back several times to ask...

Staff are friendly, helpfull and quick service also. They know what they are doing in the kitchen, delicious. If you are around the city and do not know where to eat i recommend to pass by, I certainly will come back.

Have eaten here twice since it opened a couple of months ago, on both occasions with colleagues from work. The staff are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant is stylish and comfortable. The food is plentiful, tasty and varied. Good menu, with something for...

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and professionally and well looked after throughout our meal. The choice of food was great - far more than just mozarella, if you're not a mozarella fan don't worry - and the quality of...

We had a delightful dinner from the ambience, great service with good selection of dishes to choose in menu and the most important the taste was great.

I'm lucky enough to have this in my office building. In the sunshine you can sit outside with a stunning platter and great wine. When cloudy, the inside is inviting and comfortable. Staff are friendly and some of the most efficient you'll find for a...

Went to this restaurant and had amazing time - food excellent - staff amazing, friendly and very knowledgable about the menu. Had the mozzarella experience to start and it was amazing - the ribeye steak was perfect.y cooked (I like mine rare and it melted...

Fabulous restaurant, can't recommend it highly enough. Excellent food, friendly staff and amazing cocktails all in wonderful surroundings.

A hidden gem, it's just off the main Fleet Street drag, Limburner Lane. Food here was amazing if your just looking for something light I would just go for the mozzarella experience ok it's £30 but it is to share and you get loads so...

Went to Obica restaurant with 5 colleagues yesterday evening. Delighted by the friendliness of staff, notwithstanding the official opening of the restaurant is Wednesday 16 March 2016. The menu options are comparable to competitors, but the quality of the ingredients for each dish is of...
