Osteria Romana in City of London, Westminster

My girlfriend and I came to this authentic Italian restaurant. High quality of food made by the chef, very good service. We took one carbonara and one cacio e pepe). We'll surely come back!

This is a wonderful place for lunch or dinner. Food is amazing, the setting is beautiful and the prices are really good. You should make a reservation though since they get pretty busy

A must go if you are in London. It feels like being in Rome for the goodness of the pasta. Super restaurant.

An authentic Italian restaurant. Qualiyy dishes and great service.

We came in this italian restaurant on friday. One of the best experience in my life! We took 2 dishes of pasta, both special made with the true italian passion. We'll surely come back!

We came here last week for dinner. Wonderful esperienze. Food made by the chef very tasty. We'll surely come back

An unforgettable experience, this restaurant in the heart of London perfectly reincarnates the values ​​of the best Italian cuisine. The food is excellent and the staff is made up of lovely people. A place to recommend to anyone, AURA RISTORANTET.

Slightly rude waiter. I did wonder if he had an issue with people of color. I would avoid this place if you are not white.

What a amazing find, we had just arrived in London and did a quick Google search, saw the reviews and popped by, at just after 5pm we were able to grab the last table that not booked until 10pm! So make a reservation! The service was impeccable, friendly and reminded us of the family restaurants we enjoyed in Italy. The food was delicious, fresh, homemade full of taste! We will be coming back for sure!

Great fresh pasta! Both my 5 year old and myself enjoyed it very very much!

A beautiful evening in a home environment, it felt like being in Italy, and then what can we say about the service... David was a very kind and knowledgeable person. We took Cacio e pepe, Gricia and some side dishes, one word….fantastic…..I tried the cacio e pepe. If we return to London it will be a fixed stop.

Great spot. Baby friendly too! I recommend the prawn pasta, Cacio e Pepe and the Tiramisu. Would definitely recommend.

The food was exceptional and the service matched. We were served by Pastore and David. We felt so well looked after that we will definitely be back. Wow.

A very beautiful restaurant, their food is delicious, the staff is very friendly, respectful, and helpful, and their service is excellent. I enjoyed eating there, and I will visit again, God willing.

It was an amazing experience everything was great and tasty 😋👌🏼

That was a great dinner wonderful service

We dined here last night, and I can confidently say their homemade spaghetti was the best I’ve had in my 40+ years on this earth. I ordered the black truffle spaghetti, and the flavor was beyond decadent—absolutely unforgettable. My wife had the carbonara, and it was out of this world. Every bite was perfectly balanced and full of rich, comforting flavor. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place is a true gem. We’ll absolutely be back!

Best pasta me and my wife have ever had 100% recommend

Great exprience in this Italian restaurant. We took 2 pasta dishes. Both delicious made with the real Italian love. Good service. We'll surely come back!

Quality and professionalism. We were amazed by the quality and above all quantity of the dishes. TOP

Everything top, like being in Rome, nothing to correct

What a perfect Italian meal. Fresh, cooked with care and bright! Miguele was great! We felt like we were back in Italy!

Michael Malaponti was amazing in serving us .The food is exceptional .Ambience cozy and warm .Highly recommended!

Delicious Roman pasta restaurant with an intimate setting and great service too.

We had Beef Tartare, Truffle Cacio Pepe, Veal meatballs and oxtail. Nothing was spectacular. The restaurant vibe is average. Wine is marked up 3x. If you’re from a big city, you probably won’t find this place to be anything special.

The place was amazing and made us feel very comfortable straight away. All the people working there were super friendly and always there to help you with anything you need. Everything came on time. The pasta that we tried was the best pasta I’ve had in London and I’ve been to many restaurants before. 👏👏👏

We did not manage to finish our food nor wine because we got kicked out as the 1:30h of the booking had passed, even though we spent 85£ each. We had barely finished the main dish, I asked for dessert but they said we ran out of time and they were sorry but we had to leave. You need to be able to eat all courses at a restaurant, especially an Italian, and especially such an expensive one!! I am Italian and this is not what you expect in an Italian restaurant, come on.

Delicious food and amazing service! I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting London for the best Amatriciana! ❤️

Wonderful pasta, questionable service. Lovely that they have gluten free options. But the service really lets this place down. Get a delivery instead!

Got kicked out after 1.5h. have never been to an Italian restaurant where you had to speed eat. We did want desert but they told us we are out of time. Didn't even get to finish our bottle of wine. For the price we paid this is unacceptable. Place is a great tourist trap but if you want an authentic Italian experience ...this is not it. Americans will love this place though

So today we had a very disappointing dinner. We had a hair in the dish. Bad experience. The employee’s apologised, replace the dish, but haven’t remove the dish from the receipt. No any discount, or something like that to treat customer. Drinks were good.

Very themed place with Italian music. Truly delicious food but with really high prices compared to a Roman tavern, but let's remember that being in London everything is proportionate to the life here. Super polite, professional and friendly staff (don't worry if you have difficulty with English because they also speak Italian). Very suitable for birthday celebrations, anniversaries etc.

Fantastic experience... As soon as we arrived we were greeted by very friendly staff who spoke Italian... I would say the food was original Italian, very very good.... Super recommended....

Amazing food, great service and the environment are really like you in Italy. Also the location is beautiful and easy to get there. I do recommend to booking before. And leave some space for the desert!

Awful customer service, showing rudeness at its best! We initially had made the reservation online for five people, however, a friend decided to join us! We received the following response, not offering a solution that will assist us sorting out the issue: “ We cannot change the reservation and this is not our problem. It is your fault and you should have made the reservation for six people from the beginning. You will be charged the cancellation fees.” Having worked in the hospitality and restaurants’ sector for more than 16 years that attitude is unacceptable, nonetheless. Thank you for being honest and proving that you do not actually need Guests. The purpose of my comments, is helping restaurants improve and get better. Hopefully, this would be just a bad example and guests will not be treated as such, so forth.

amazing experience, I will go back again. best roman cuisine ever. I had carbonara, gnocchi romani and tartare and porchetta!

Posto piccolo e accogliente ci si sente proprio a casa! Cibo ottimo e anche il servizio molto gentili. Posto ottimo approvato!

Ristorante italiano con ottimi piatti abbondanti a disposizione. Piccolo ed accogliente. Ci si sente a casa. Servizio eccellente, personale gentile, approvato !!!

Right next to Hyde park. Good choice after a park outing.

We went to this restaurant yesterday..... truly TOP cuisine and staff. we ate pasta cacio e pepe and pasta all Amatriciana and it was all delicious, it really felt like we were in Rome❤️❤️. Price within London budgets....but you rightly pay for the raw material....

I did not expect to find an authentic Italian experience down a quant alleyway in London. And then I found Osteria Romana! From them accommodating us with no reservation to the service and most to the food! Fresh and delicious. I feel like an Italian food afficionado and this is added to my list. Buon cibo!

Great meal. High quality ingredients and food - no kids menu but child friendly.

Delicious food, lots of freebies, nice music

An outstanding dining experience at Osteria Romana! The porchetta was simply sublime – perfectly roasted with crispy, golden skin and tender, flavour-packed meat that melted in the mouth. Every bite was a testament to authentic Italian culinary craft. The tiramisu was equally impressive – light, creamy, and delicately balanced, offering a rich yet refreshing end to the meal. The service was impeccable – warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, making it an ideal setting for both casual and special occasions. Osteria Romana is a gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!

Perfection. Favorite restaurant in London!

Very Good Service, Specially Recommended.

Food quality & price was so good.

Authentic Italian food from Roma. Delicious. Big portions and friendly service.

I was in this magnificent restaurant with my family, the staff were really kind and professional, the food was excellent, I recommend it to everyone

I've been in London for 3 days and we found this little place in the Harrods area. All very good, warm and top service. Obviously I recommend the classic carbonara cooked al dente as we Italians like it and for second the saltimbocca😍 Spectacular🫶🏼

Great service, great ambiance, great food

This is a magical place!!! The food is excellent! The service is worthy of applause👏. I highly recommend it 👍

I live in Italy, but I’m in London almost every month for work. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the quality of the food at Osteria Romana is the best in London, and often even better than many Italian restaurants. Outstanding pasta dishes, unique flavors, and the exceptional kindness of the staff truly make the difference! A special mention to Filippo, a superb chef who takes the flavors of Italian cuisine to the next level. Well done, well done, well done!

There is no other way to say it: as soon as you walk through the door you are teleported in Roma, Osteria romana is the true taste of Roma with a romana atmosphere yet serious and elegant following the standard of knightsbridge. We had the porchetta which was just so authentic, I am Italian by the way, i enjoyed also very much the carbonara and coda alla vaccinara. I want to highlight the quality of the coffee as well, that single espresso was seriously good for london standards. A big thank you goes to David, who is very knowledgeable about wine and helped us throughout the evening and made our night very special. Osteria Romana is a must try in London.

Nice place, well kept and excellent Italian food... central...

David and Fabrizio high quality staff

excellent hospitality and food, nice Romans Devid and Fabrizio, top.

David and Fabrizio are very kind and very welcoming

Exquisite dining experience, thanks to Fabrizio and his invaluable assistance to select the starter, main course, desert along with the best wine pairing in each stage (and a non-filtered beer from Sardinia too!).

Good food the stuffs were amazing I would recommend you the Pacchero al cod and thanks to Jean Pierre for having patience and explaining us the food and drinks we choose

Beautiful food and better service. Thank you Fabrizio!

Very beautiful place just wow💖👍

All good David is a vary good boy

Fabrizio is a star and the service throughout a delight. Olive oil and fresh basil top quality. The parmesan wheel isn't being used skimpily and the truffle is imported only in-season. The carbonara is quite strong in its pork-cheek flavour. I loved it, my partner couldn't eat it. Pinsa and gelato lovely. Outstanding place with built in, comfortable carb crash guarantee.

Fabrizio was excellent! He had a great dinner!

We had dinner in this Osteria with an excellent result. Excellent food and perfect welcome from highly qualified staff. Recommended for a typical Italian dinner.

Thank you Devid and Fabrizio!!! You are amazing!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Staff very kind.

Everything was excellent, highly recommended to go with your friends and family, high quality food and very qualified and friendly staff

The taste of your food is incomparable.

Great romantic restaurant, good pasta and wine.

Best restaurant, food was delicious

Is one of the best Restaurants that I’ve ever visited and the food was amaizing !! The service 5 stars 🌟

Lovely atmosphere, great food. Which will touch your heart in an instant ❤️❤️❤️

Your food and atmosphere are very good 👍👍👍

Rigatoni with oxtail was a dream. Carbonara was creamy and delicious. Potentially one of the best Italian restaurants in the country.

Osteria Romana is hands down the best restaurant I have ever been to! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional. But the real star of the show was the food—absolutely incredible! Every dish was packed with authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, big serving and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the passion and quality in every bite. I will definitely be coming back. Chef Filippo and the whole crew were very accomodating and gave us excellent customer service. If you’re looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this is the place to go!

A great place, authentic feel, great food and atmosphere. Which can be described in one word as awesome 👍🤙👍

Your food is amazing. And the service is also very good. It was a truly wonderful dinner!

A beautiful atmosphere, authentic feel, great food ❤️👍❤️

The quality of your food is very good 🤙❤️🤙

Devid is good stuff.osteria romana be expensive

Perfect food experience! My service was one of the best! Fabrizio I'll see you soon again!!

Fabrizio is very nice and delicious food

The food was amazing and especially the service.I would like to visit there again 😍😍

Wonderful place to eat and taste Italian food. Fabrizio, the waiter, is super kind and cuddled us throughout the launch!

Had the best experience here, didn’t have a reservation but they still found us table after a short 20 minute wait. Service was top notch from start to finish. They serve complimentary warm bread with fresh basil olive oil made at your table for you to see. All food ordered was delicious, carbonara is tossed in a large Parmesan wheel in the restaurant area which just adds to the Italian feel of the restaurant. Would recommend if visiting Knightsbridge or surrounding areas!!

The carbonara pasta was incredible and Fabrizio's attention was fabulous. I highly recommend it.

Excellent dinner! An exquisite cacio e pepe pasta and amatriciana with a super tiramisu! In London for excellent pasta!

Very delicious food & Amazing restaurant. Also very good staffs.

"The service at [OSTERIA ROMANA] is excellent!" The staff is polite and attentive, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful eating experience.

The best Italian restaurant tried so far here in London, exceptional from the raw materials to the staff, friendly and helpful, especially Fabrizio.

Excellent food, competent and friendly staff!

The ITALIAN restaurant where when you are abroad...... You feel at home. Very friendly and professional staff, fantastic dishes. I recommend booking at least two days in advance

I have no idea how this place managed to get high ratings. The bucatini all'amatriciana were by far the worst pasta I've even had. Based on the taste and the time it took them to serve it, I'd guess that the whole tomato sauce including the bacon was already cooked and they just re-heated it. The rose wine was the closest it could get to vinegar for £10 per glass.

Tasty food but cheeky money making tactics. We had - steak tartare - oxtail Ragu - Cacio e pepe Pasta sauces were delicious and moreish, very flavourful. The pasta itself for the cacio was a bit underdone for our liking. Warm bread and olive oil arrived at the start which was a nice welcome. But we were charged £4 for water. Considering it was likely just filtered tap water that arrived on an unsealed bottle. Very cheeky. They are busy and prices are already expensive. Unnecessary. For desert we had the tiramisu and a pear tart with pistachio ice-cream. Again food tastes great. However the portion sizes were quite small for the price £12. Especially the ice cream. For the quality of food and restaurant, and how popular it is, skimping on small portions and water feels unnecessary.

Me and my boyfriend finally got the chance to visit this restaurant and I’d say it’s a little gem! Lovely location in Knightsbridge, cozy and intimate place. Very nice and friendly staff, food was phenomenal. We had a pinsa and the aubergine parmigiana as starters and they were banging. Then we ordered a steak and an amatriciana (I wish it was more al dente tbh but was anyway very good!). And then we shared the ricotta and pear tart with the pistacchio ice cream on the side.. absolutely amazing 🤤 They also offered us limoncello which we really appreciated. We definitely recommend this place!:)

Best pasta in town! We tried most of the pasta dishes, all excellent. Fabrizio was very welcoming, friendly and professional. Great atmosphere too!

We were in the area and came to see if they have any availability. A waiter asked if we have any reservation and just turned around and ignored us when we said no. We stayed there for a minute, thinking he was checking for any availability, until another waiter asked if we had a reservation and told us the full day is reserved. I’m sure the food is good, so will leave no reviews on that, but the rude dismissal had us write this. I understand the job is stressful, but it takes a second to give a short polite reply.

I have been to this place on the recommendation of a friend of mine. More than satisfactory experience. I found the perfect combination of Italian cuisine and English management. Everything was clean and tidy and the dishes smell of home. Highly recommended.
