Piazza Italiana in City of London, Westminster

Saturday night, Christmas weekend, 7pm. No meat dishes, no carbonara and only 4 of their starters are available. Incredibly poor, the only thing that saved it was the building, very nice restaurant but the menu was terrible. Such a let down. Money wasted on eating food we didn’t want.

Very grand place, very nice service Maybe the food is too authentic that it was not suited to our taste buds. Carbonara is too salty and the cheese coagulated too quickly before we finished the pasta. Lobster linguine was quite yummy but with just little lobster flesh and also bit on the saltier end as well. Lemon and passion fruit mousse was nice and tangy. The herby (lemongrass?) oil was a weird touch. Calamari was by far the yummiest calamari we ever tasted. Was my birthday so had a nice complementary gift- though the almond biscuits were too hard and cold to be enjoyable (waitress did warn me) cocktail was yummy I know people don’t come here for value but there’s better food in London at this price range that I am more willing to get

Great service from Elena and excellent food! Highly recommended. 👍🏼

Lovely ambiance, absolutely delicious food! Our server Elena was very attentive and friendly, which really makes a difference!

Kibra was amazing, great food and service. She made my night

Kibra was amazing, food was delicious

Food was delicious, and service was great - big thank you to Kibra 🫶🏻

The food was amazing. Kibra served us and was very helpful

Piazza Italiana, is an absolute gem! Set in a beautifully restored historic building, the interior is breathtaking—soaring ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and those grand Corinthian columns that just scream sophistication. It’s got that perfect mix of fancy and cozy, whether you’re there for date night, a business lunch, or a special celebration. My friend and I went yesterday and had such a great time. We booked through the First Table app, which gave us an awesome 50% off the food bill—how can you not love that? The wine list is huge, with picks from all over, and we chose a beautiful bottle that paired perfectly with our meal. We kicked things off with the vitello tonnato, which was flavorful and downright delicious, and the tuna tartare—though honestly, it was a bit on the subtle side for our tastes. For mains, we dug into the spaghetti con vongole and the mixed seafood pasta. Both were loaded with super fresh, high-quality seafood and hit the spot perfectly. Naturally, we had to finish with dessert, so we shared a tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet ending. The service? Top-notch. A big shoutout to Kibra, our server, who was attentive, friendly, and just a joy to chat with. Between the gorgeous setting, the amazing food, and the stellar service, it was a meal to remember—and we’re already planning to come back!

Food was very quick, service was wonderful. Was a bit salty. Had a lovely waitress Kibra who was very attentive. Would recommend:)

Kibra was a very attentive host. Food and atmosphere was great - would highly recommend!!

The food was so good, and even better service from Kibra :)

Kibra was a fantastic and attentive waitress. Food and atmosphere were delightful and i would definitely recommend to anyone.

Dining at this Italian restaurant is an undeniably luxurious experience. Set in a magnificent historic hall, the interior design boasts soaring arches, intricate ceilings, and opulent detailing that transports you to another era. The ambiance feels grand yet refined, making it a feast for the eyes even before the meal begins. We enjoyed a selection of Baked Oyster, Pasta, and Truffle Risotto. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, offering a flavour profile that was certainly above average. The Truffle Risotto, in particular, stood out with its creamy texture and balanced richness. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring a seamless dining experience. However, the grandeur of the space comes with a notable drawback: the acoustics. With no apparent sound-absorbing elements in the decor, the dining room becomes filled with a persistent hum of voices, making it challenging to hold a conversation. By the end of our 90-minute meal, the noise level felt more draining than expected, slightly detracting from an otherwise delightful evening. Overall, this restaurant excels in its culinary offerings and elegant atmosphere, though some improvements in acoustic design would enhance the comfort of diners.

Kibra was a wonderful server thank you for making my better great!

We had a gorgeous time! Took my best friend out for her birthday (or rather she took me? It was a mutual taking) and the food was absolutely amazing, the service was 10/10 (thank you Kibra ❤️) and my friend even got 2 birthday candles on her sorbet!

My friend and I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. The building is stunning and the music from DJ is amazing. But I wanna shout out to our server Kibra, she is literally make my date with her professional serving skills and nice recommendations. Will definitely re-visit again.

Piazza Italiana was a great experience. The bottomless brunch was good value for money. Our server, Kirba, was excellent. Very attentive. And the atmosphere was great

Amazing service - our waiter Kibra is the best! Would recommend.

This fine Italian restaurant has a great waitress! Kibra! She made our day

Great address, affordable price for London and for the impeccable quality of service, excellent food and good proportions (truffle pasta and truffle risotto). Plus, we got a table right away, not having booked on a Saturday night. I highly recommend.

Scrumpdillyumptious! Quite certain I am far from the first to state such a viewpoint as this.

Incredible dinner at Piazza Italiana, we had the carbonara and truffle pasta in the cheese wheel and it was fantastic. Our waiter Bertalan was great! The restaurant interior is beautiful, one of the nicest I’ve been in. Will definitely be returning!

Attentive, friendly and welcoming staff Elena. Thank you for your wonderful service. The ambience was lovely and the food was delicious.

We visited for bottomless brunch. Elena was super helpful from the moment we arrived! The food was lovely, and our drinks were never empty as they were always topped up. We had the best time and would happily visit again - thank you, Elena

Very tasty dinner and great service! Meals were prepared pretty fast and everything was super tasty! Worth the price!

The space is beautiful and grand (ex bank) but food is just ordinary. Wine is exorbitant with the cheapest red starting at £50. I started with calamari that was good but not extraordinary. Not greasy but not crisp and not particularly tender. I liked the freshness my companion’s starter of a roasted caponata salad but agreed it was served too cold, straight out of the fridge. My main of vongole was somewhat bland. I prefer vongole to be salty with clam broth, acidic with white wine and punchy with plenty of garlic and chillies. I was totally puzzled by the option to have vongole with bottarga for an extra charge. My companion’s truffle risotto was tasty and contained plenty of truffle shavings, but was cold. Plates were not warmed, which was surprising at this price point. What’s worse, the risotto was served in a large shallow dish apparently for optimal loss of heat. The know-it-all waitress explained that the logistics of providing warm plates was too complex. This is a place to bring an elderly relative who wants an opulent interior with unchallenging food, as long as they are not too picky about food temperature. I expect more at this price point. Two courses with the cheapest bottle of wine shared between two diners was just over £70 a head.

Great time and food, massive thanks to Bertalan and Sheggs for great service!

Best time ever, Bertalan and Sheggs were so attentive and even gave us perks by the end!

Me and my partner came for my birthday and couldn’t recommend more. The food was amazing. Our waitress Kibra couldn’t have done anymore for us. Even brought out a birthday box. Will definitely be back

Had the best carpaccio and ox cheek ragu here. Staff here were incredibly attentive and helpful - we were served by Kibra and she was lovely, going the extra mile for a special evening. Would return!

The most wonderful evening at Piazza Italiana! The food was delicious and we had impeccable service from Elena. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we will be back!

Amazing service by Elena and wonderful food! Would definitely recommend!

The food was incredible! We were served by Kibra who was really attentive and amazing

Lovely service from Kibra! And delicious food, I would definitely come back here x

Como siempre la mejor experiencia! ¡Me encanta la comida! Kibra mi camarero como siempre hace todo mucho más especial! Me encanta venir aquí Alberto como siempre el más profesional y sabe exactamente lo que necesito. ¡Hicieron de mi cumpleaños una experiencia inolvidable! La persona que hizo nuestra pasta de trufa, increíble! Nos encantó y la experiencia; - )

Great service, great food, fantastic waitress (Kibra)!!

I celebrated my birthday here, and it was an unforgettable experience! Alberto and Kibra were wonderful, and the waiter who prepared my truffle pasta made the evening truly spectacular. The attention to detail and the warmth of the staff created an incredible night that I will never forget. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Excellent Friday night at Piazza Italiana. Alix and Bertalan provided an excellent service and the food was lovely. We’ll be back. From Simone and Georgina

What a fantastic restaurant! Great food and great service, especially by Alix and Bertalan! Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful atmosphere, perfect service and top quality food. I recommend the ragú, it was spectacular. I will definitely be back.

Went for grad dinner and had the best time with my family, especially with being taken care of by Kibra! She made the night so special for my family and I

The food at Piazza Italiana was great, the pasta was perfectly al dente. Kibra was also a great server.

Great food and amazing service from Kibra!

Really nice and place with a good quality. Many thanks to Kibra to professional and kind service!

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. The tartufo pasta is amazing. Service was amazing (thanks to our amazing waitress Kibra). Will go again!

Ate earlier this week as a group after visiting a bit more than a year ago. The quality of food has gone down and the desserts were very disappointing as well. Great ambience though.

We have just dined at Piazza Italiana and had an exceptional dinner. We were severed by Kibra, whose service was fantastic making the whole dining experience enjoyable. Highly recommended

My first time being in the restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing with a warm inviting staff members especially the waitress Kibra. She was attentive to what I need and always ensure that I have everything. Once again , thank you Kibra for making my time enjoyable 🥰🥰

Incredible food- we had a gorgeous tasting menu and were blown away by the food. In particular the Ox Cheek. We had incredible service from Alix, and Bertalan they was so kind and friendly and professional excellent waiter and waitres .

Great mbiance excellent service.Elena was our waitress. She went over and above our expectations. Definitely would return

Came here for my anniversary and was overwhelmed just not by the food, but how the staff made our day special. Bertalan ensured we had one of the best evenings and nothing could've made the evening better for us. 5* definitely for the service and the lovely cuisine.

Came to Piazza Italiana for a birthday celebration and unfortunately had a small medical emergency. The staff were absolutely incredibly - very calm and professional and so helpful. We are so grateful to the whole team, especially Fabio, for being so kind. But more importantly the food is phenomenal and the interior design is gorgeous. A must visit!

Just come from this place food was beautiful and I must say Kibra service was brilliant.

Delicious food, quick service, and a cozy vibe. The staff was attentive, and every dish was beautifully prepared. A wonderful place for any dining experience!

Reservamos una mesa para 2 aquí como miramos las críticas y fotos. El edificio es fantástico por fuera y aún mejor por dentro, buen ambiente dentro del restaurante. Inicios Pan con chapuzones = porciones de punta, chapuzones sosos. Bolas de queso de trufa = enfermiza y sobrealimentada con ajo. Plato principal = Luke Risotto caliente sin sabor, porción pequeña. Plato principal = pasta de marisco, sabor decente pero salsa acuosa. Desierto = panacotta, enfermizo. Servicio bien, aunque gerente un poco apagado. No volvería.

Gran servicio. El entrante fue genial, pero pedimos comida para venir en diferentes momentos porque compartimos todo. Vino todo a la vez - una vez que llegamos a la pasta estaba frío, que era nuestro menos favorito. Gran selección de vinos. Ok para una cena no seria.

Do not recommend. Cannot imagine how it still get 4.5 on Google reviews. The waiter doesn’t understand what we are asking. We asked if there is truffle on the pasta, he just kept replying us it costs extra for the cheese wheel. But very bad food. Truffle pasta almost £30 without having any truffle on it. £10/g for truffle. Menu said Seafood pasta with “tiger prawn”, but they looks like shrimps.

The best restaurant in and around London I've ever been to. Previously it was a bank, now an elegant restaurant with dishes with attention to the smallest details. Perfect service, almost like a starred restaurant. Unique atmosphere. The prices, all things considered, are more than fair. Trust me, you will have an unforgettable evening.

Kibra was a fantastic host and the food was excellent, would highly recommend

Kibra was brilliant! Very lovely would come again!

Amazing food and atmosphere! Thank you to our host Kibra for the fantastic service

Amazing food and wine. Bertolan was a great waiter!

Great service by Kibra, she recommended us delicious dishes. Nice atmosphere. We had a great time

Amazing service by Kibra, we loved the experience, the food and everything! Strongly recommended it!

Everything was great, a fab dinning experience. I big thanks for Sheggs and Beuti for their service. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely return here.

I had an amazing experience at piazza with food and service.spectacular service from Libra and Alberto …I definitely recommend to try tuna tartar and spaghetti al tartufo

The vibe was on point with tasty food and beautiful restaurant also amazing service from kibra ...they even gave us a gift vox with limoncelo it was so nice

The only redeeming factor in the experience of the bottomless brunch is the service we received from Elena - she was great. However, this is probably in the top 3 worst restaurants we have had food in. We had 90mins and thought we’d try as much as we could, so had two starters, six mains and dessert between us. The food was basic, tastleness, and akin to something you could get for £5 as a ready meal. As an example, the truffle pasta is overcooked pasta in a buttery/cheesy/truffle oil sauce; nothing else to it and zero flavour. The pizzas are like eating cardboard - obviously they must be frozen pizzas. The dessert - tiramisu - was soggy lady fingers with whipped cream and chocolate dusting on top. Definitely not what a tiramisu is supposed to be. The restaurant is in a beautiful building with beautiful decor, but the atmosphere is completely ruined by having a [very loud] DJ playing dance music. You need to pick a “vibe” - either be a classy restaurant or a typical young persons brunch-style cheap restaurant. You should not have both. We would not be returning or recommending the bottomless brunch option to anyone.

Amazing atmosphere with delicious food .we celebrate my birthday with bottomless drinks the price was worth it.Kibra and Mihir was helpful.definitely will come back

Super amazing food. The sauce in the bread basket was very well made, the tomato sauce and tapenade both made people happy to wipe the small plates clean. The bread was a bit defective, cold and hard on the outside, not friendly to the teeth, but the sauce was so delicious. The Calamari is thinly fried, soft, tender and delicious; the Oyster Rockefeller is also good. The clam pasta was very, very delicious, the clams had a seafood flavor, but in a pleasant way, and the sauce was so fresh that it licked the plate. The ice cream was outstanding, the tiramisu was below average and the 1mm thick cocoa powder was a bit dull.

Visited this Gem this evening. Had a wonderful experience. We were greeted by the friendly manager and served by attentive waitress Kibra The food was just as amazing as the atmosphere. We will definitely come visiting this place again

Great service and experience with Kibra. Amazing food too!!

Piazza Italiana is a beautiful venue with a wonderful atmosphere and service - we were served by Kibra who was fantastic, very attentive and professional! It’s a beautiful date night location (we celebrated our anniversary here) and the food is delicious. Rated the food 4/5 as I thought the vegetarian options could be more creative!

Had a lovely anniversary meal here. Location and food were great, and Kibra our waitress did an excellent job of looking after us to make our evening special.

Delicious food and amazing service by Elena! will be back soon!

Elena’s service was beautiful, food was amazing, great location

The menu has a great selection of dishes and we loved everything we tried, especially the seafood pasta. Also, the staff here truly cares about their guests, service was excellent. Thank you so much Fabio and Bertalan!

Great food and service from Bertalan. Would highly recommend eating here

This restaurant feels really premium and luxurious when you arrive. All pointing that you will have a great dinner, however while the service was amazing the food was sometimes lacking, needing bolder flavours. The cocktail as well weren’t as I imagined, something was missing. Sheggs was a brilliant waiter and we enjoyed his company and attentiveness. Overall i will give a 7/10.

Piazza Italiana ofrece una ubicación refinada y elegante, perfecta para un aperitivo encantador. Como italiano puedo decir que el Aperol Spritz fue realmente bueno! El servicio fue atento y cortés, con Fabio y Bertalan siendo especialmente acogedor. Aseguraron que cada detalle fue cuidado, haciendo nuestra experiencia verdaderamente perfecta. Definitivamente volveré para el almuerzo o la cena la próxima vez que esté en Londres!

Piazza Italiana offers a refined and elegant location, perfect for a delightful aperitivo. As an Italian I can say that the Aperol Spritz was really good! The service was attentive and courteous, with Fabio and Bertalan being especially welcoming. They ensured every detail was taken care of, making our experience truly perfect. I’ll definitely be returning for lunch or dinner the next time I’m in London!

Visited on a Friday evening, slightly before 6pm with a discount app. No crowd then but it started to build when it got to around 7+. The food was ok. The Tartare starter was a recommendation from the waiter and it was great and fresh. The pastas were alright. It wasn’t warm when it arrived on our table and the vongole were slightly undercooked. The taste was nice though. The lasagne ragu was very well presented in a circle shape but the taste was normal. Service was pretty ok, was fast to take our order and came to check in on us. Food was served pretty quick too. The place is absolutely gorgeous though. Spacious and i think is located within a hotel? It’s very comfortable and not loud even when the crowd built up. Overall, would recommend a visit and definitely book with discount apps. Otherwise the prices might be quite steep.

Great service, our waitress, Kibra, was very sweet and friendly, overall great service, thank you!

Enjoyed the food, beautiful restaurant. Excellent service by Fabio, entertaining us with the cheese wheel show.

I visited this restaurant with my daughter for dinner and what I saw during my visit was not what I would expect for a restaurant of this standard. From what I can only assume is the manager of the restaurant (gentleman in a suit) I experienced the most disrespectful character you could ever have in a customer facing position. He kept laughing and joking around with another member of staff which was loudly causing a scene right next to us and just completely ignored our table! Luckily, another staff member saw this as we were noticeably agitated and he came straight over to serve us before we walked out!! We were served by a really nice waiter, I don't recall his name but the food and his service were just great! If the management are the problem causing a bad atmosphere in the restaurant then I definitely wont be returning. Management should lead by example and I don't approve of the kinds of attitude or behaviour I saw during my visit - I’m so disappointed in my experience!

The atmosphere the ambiance of this restaurant is amazing however wasnt happy with the service first time ever i have experienced this kind of service. What ever we were ordering the waiter kibra was saying is not fresh i ordered sea food pasta she came back saying the clams are not good not fresh and i had to pick something else from the menu. My fiance wanted to order calamari as starters again we were told it isnt fresh and nice. Never ever i have experienced this if clams or calamari is not fresh you shouldnt have this on the menu. My fiances food was not nice my pasta was also not nice wont be returning very dissapointed.

Amazing brunch, hosted by Kibra who was fabulous, fantastic value for money - food was absolutely brilliant. My glass never went empty very attentive service! Thank you so much will be back with my family soon!

Our server Kibra was amazing! Loved the food

Had a great time here, great service. Special thanks to the lovely Kibra!

Just had a nice dinner experience at Piazza Italiana. The service was good and special thanks to Kibra 👌🏼

Amazing venue, great food and great service from Kibra

Very nice food, beautiful atmosphere and an exemplary service from the team ( the gentleman who welcomed us was extremely polite and helpful and of course our waitress Kibra very polite and provided an amazing experience ) highly recommended
