piccolo bar in City of London, Westminster

Great little shop with a very kind owner. Went in with my little one and had a coffee and lasagna and it was delicious! We sat and enjoyed our meal and went back two times more during our trip. It was really nice id highly recommend stopping in!

Excellent sausage and bacon sandwiches for lunch. Good amount of fillings. Great price and service . Thank you.

The food is a great price and a large portion. Stick to the plates and enjoy the downstairs cafe seating and hot sauces.

Great sandwiches and melts. I’m a regular, consistent quality and quick service. Great friendly team

You know something is wrong when all the black cab drivers stop eating somewhere! Food hygiene should always be the first box ticked when running a restaurant. This place is vile! Staff are also rude

I still think about this place and the tasty English breakfast + the cranberry brie sandwich I got there. It’s good!

Definitely the cheapest food option in the area. And if taxi drivers stop here for breakfast, the food and prices have got to be good.

As many have said, the service is not exactly overflowing. That said, the food is great and very cheap considering where it is. A similar Spag Bol (of lees quality and certainly less quantity) would be 3x the price at places within 200m. A shame there’s no alcohol licence as a large chianti would have been perfect. Quirky, basic but definitely a hit.

I was recommended this place by some colleagues and it didn't disappoint. I had a parma ham and cheese melt which was freshly made. There was so much to close from, I will have to go back to try something else! It's a small place but there's seating outside and the street is nice and quiet.

Carbonara was absolutely disgusting. Can't even be sure it was made that week! They also do not check in with you about how you are finding the meal. Understand how busy it is but it could at least be mentioned when you are paying. However, I'm giving two stars because Piccolo has large portions and is very affordable considering the location. The sandwiches also seem to be decent as I heard no complaints from those I was dining with!

£9.60 for a cold set no 2 and cold milky tea Only 1 bacon & mushrooms you could count on 1 hand No picalo what a rip off

Ok so we've just battled Covid and all the staff handle the food with the same fingers as they handle all that money which is blitz with God knows how many different peoples bacteria and Covid, really?! Well over priced inflation or not, I got charged £8 for cheese and salami baguette with a can of drink, you can get a lovely baguette full of glorious fillings in Prett for only £4 and I'm sure the food standard agency require they wear gloves there as standard hygiene..

Absolutely disgusting treatment , nothing to do with Italian food and the man behind the till was very rude and arrogant little man 👎👎👎

Went there today. One of the staff was very rude and disrespectful. The lady was alright but the guy was abusive and kept making jokes while I was trying to place my order and he swore to me in his own language which I could understand. The food was good tho. Service 1/10 Food 8/10

Sandwiches taste fine, I quite enjoy them but they could do better with enforcing hygiene standards. The employee today took their gloves off to flip my sandwich in the toaster, which is fine, I was a barista, I know it happens, nothing to get worked up over. Then they started counting the cash in the register to net the till for the day and without washing their hands was about to bag my sandwich. I stopped them and asked them to wash their hands before doing so, which they did, but still, I was very disturbed that that didn’t come second nature to someone in food service. Better training procedures are in place. Food hits the spot though, but hygiene is more important.

Quality sandwich and a decent coffee at a good price. Staff were charming and I would recommend if you are in Mayfair 👍

Nice place to have a quick meal. I ordered carbonara and it was not bad. The price is really reasonable compare to other food places in London. Around lunch time the place gets really busy so I recommend to avoid lunch time. It seems nice place to have a take away meal as well.

So glad I found this place! Really good food, excellent prices. Meals served piping hot, and the portions are generous. We arrived mid afternoon and the regulars kept dropping in. Can't recommend this little hole-in-the-wall enough. Wish there were six stars.

Great spot for an English breakfast

Great place. Very tiny but great Paninis

Fue un descubrimiento por casualidad y la mas acertada. Te tratan como si estuvieras en casa. Son maravillosos y se come muy bien. Nos encantó que nos hablara en español todo el tiempo. Hizo la comunicación muy fuida. Visita obligatoria en londres si quieres comer algo rápido,casero y barato.

Muy buena calidad, la comida buenísima todo comida abundante, muy amable el cocinero 10/10 precio sobre unos 9£ el plato.

Great experience. Proper greasy spoon. Great for breakfast. Sausage egg mushrooms bacon tomato all for a good price. Promptly served.

Llegamos a este sitio de casualidad buscando donde comer rápido para seguir “turisteando” y la verdad es que fue una suerte encontrarlo. El personal es encantador, súper amables y agradables. La comida, pasta en nuestro caso, muy rica y abundante. Y el precio es ajustado. El local es pequeño, abajo tiene un comedor también pequeño y sin personalidad, pero que cumple su cometido. Se veía mucha gente local entrando a comprar y que conocía a los dueños con lo que parece ser un sitio bastante popular en la zona. Lo recomendamos al 100% para comer comida decente pero sin florituras.

This is one of the best café in the neighborhood. The owner are really nice, services are excellent: you don’t have to follow the manual. Just tell them what you would like to have and they will customize for you! And the prices are also very affordable as well. P.s.: if you are a student, they will offer you a student discount. Cheers to that! 这是我附近最好的一家咖啡之一，同时价格是附近最便宜的。老板一家人很好，你可以不按照菜谱点餐：告诉他们你今天想吃点啥，他们会为你定制！如果是学生的话他们还会提供学生折扣。

Awful food ordered spaghetti full of grease no taste very oily the pasta was microwaved cracking old

Brilliant coffee, lovely food. Fantastic service

The best kept secret in London great food great prices great staff

行列のできるイタリアンデリ屋 カルボナーラペンネは£8.2で大盛 下の階に簡単な食事スペース有り 注文は入った順にタイミングを見計らって注文します

I used to grab lunch here everyday and never had a problem (would be great if they’d use gloves rather than bare hands to handle food). However today I was well over charged for a chicken escalope and some greens (no fries, no rice). Even the girl that served me was surprised and didn’t agree with the made up price that the other lady told her. Won’t go back.

A man behind the counter called my partner "beautiful" "baby" and "darling" while demanding she take her face mask off when she's a vulnerable individual so he could 'see her face'. When she refused and stated it was her personal choice, he made a thinly veiled r*pe joke by saying that 'oh yes, when a woman says 'no' everyone must listen to her and do as she asks'. She felt very intimidated and disgusted. Horrible behaviour, one of many men who thinks they can speak to women when they're on their own in whatever manner they want.

The hygiene rating is a nightmare the sandwich maker that prepared my bacon sandwich had no gloves on and the worst came worst he was picking his nose. Overpriced for the value Very bad customer service

Great prices. Great Coffee. Great fries. The people were extremely friendly; after coming for the second day consecutively he knew my regular order and just let me pay when I wanted. It was one of the highlights of my trips to London, and will definitely be back if in the area again! (1 latte with sugar, 1 hot chocolate and 2 fries😉)

Proper builders breakfast type of place you get here. The cafe is well run and is pace at getting their food cooked. Pricing is very very affordable for Mayfair and is mobbed by all the cabbies during lunch. Have yet to venture downstairs for a sit-down meal. I always get breakfast number 1 which is just a standard and simple english brekkie with extra sausage - it comes with a decent portion size. Only compliant is their lasagne sizing could be larger, but overall for its location a very decent cafe to go to.

Sandwich Bar and so much more! Number 18 on the board. Cranberry bacon and Brie is excellent. Can say it’s on the high side of costs but anywhere is Mayfair you will be charged £££

This place has a good, cheap, tasty breakfast sandwich. About £5.50 gets you a ham, egg, cheese, and tomato sandwich on a hoagie roll. #GnomGnom

I highly recommend. Big portion food and cheap. Very tasty. !

Highly recommend. Needed something quick and was a surprised at how good this place was. Not going to lie. I went in with low expectations. However, I would definitely return! I would give higher than 5 stars if I could. This place should be michelin rated. This place is good old fashioned comfort food. The food tastes so fresh and clean. I was told this is where all the locals eat and I know why. This place is a hidden gem! You will not be disappointed. This is what all other food estblishments should aspire to become.

No nonsense, sandwich bar perfection. Best breakfast in Mayfair! We stayed at a hotel around the corner and visited just about every day of our holiday. Don't know what we would have done without Piccolo's!

Popped in to order breakfast for the team, lots of Piccolo staff were serving the front, a couple of lads had already ordered, it wasn't busy, but they just left me there waiting.....waiting, no acknolwledgment, no good morning, no eye contact, another man came about 5 mins later and they eventually served him.....and just left me waiting again...... two of them made his cup of tea and the other one pretended I wasn't there.......wait maybe I have become invisible?

Great food and staff fast friendly reasonably priced

Good food and cheap for Mayfair area

Bonnes assiettes pas chères ! Super pour repas sur le pousse. Le midi les travailleurs du coin sont nombreux.

Great place, Good Food, Nice Tea, Decent Value, Cabbies and Celebrities favourite. Seems to be open late.

Neat and tidy also delicious and well prepared food staff are also brilliant

But this was fabulous little find. One of the one places who make food prep an art form and a joy to watch whilst waiting. You will wait and the shop is narrow. Just embrace it. You can sit downstairs too and there are a couple of stools upstairs. It was great value and the food was made from scratch with a real passion and efficiency. I had the chicken melt with roast veg. Mmmmm. Coffee was good too, and all was keenly priced. Reassuringly busy at lunch.

Do you want experience a work lunch in Italy? This is the place to be! This place seems a proper Italian Bar with the best combination of ingredients for a Panino! The portions are more than you expected and the taste is sooo good.. Definitely will come back!

Place is very worthy visit for economy class tourist. Especially for quick lunch. Prices are also very good.

Had breakfast and followed up with stopping by for a takeaway dinner. Fortunately we got to breakfast before all the local tradesmen arrived at 9:30. When we left they were lined up out the door! Very small with tables down stairs. Order at the counter, go down to get a table, they bring down your order and pay when you leave. We both had a ham and cheese omelette which was delicious and filling. Coffee was excellent. We wanted to eat dinner in so stopped by later and got 2 orders of spaghetti and meatballs- delicious but we should have only ordered one as the serving was huge. But leftovers are ok too! What a find - not much on the outside but when all the locals are lined up you know it has to be good and a great value.

Staff was rude, cutlery was wrapped in dirty tissue and the place is dirtier than you’d expect even for this kind of caf

Started going down hill for me maybe because I'm a regular.. they burn toast and still give it to you when it's inedible.. and I've just got a chicken escalope and they didn't even cook or warm the chicken up for my panini..

Found this lovely place with huge portion food! Penne was so good with egg and tuna sauce!!

Forte bun . Si cele mai de treaba fete, isabela si elena :D

We were attracted by the all day English options on the window so decided to wait in the rain. When we got inside we were blown away by all the options and how cheap it all way! I ordered the curry on a jacket potato which cost me £3.80!! Absolutely insane deals, especially as I got such a huge meal. Got a very tasty samosa to go with it which cost me £1.20. We headed downstairs and awaited our food which was not a long wait at all. Love the efficiency of this place :)

Bumped into this cafe by pure accident and what a find. Not the 'most' friendly staff, but helpful. Perfect brunch to take to Radio 2 fest in Hyde Park and so much cheaper than the breakfast in the hotel we stay in every year. Will definitely return !

The cheapest food and excellent quality service and more importantly the food is excellent

It is a good place if you are looking for the cheapest in the area.

Great breakfast and good prices for the location.

Acostumbradas a comer en franquicias de comida basura y caminando en busca de otra, dimos de casualidad con este lugar. Relación calidad-precio increíble, y lo que más nos gustó fue la cantidad de comida que sirven. El trato fue también excepcional. Si volvemos a Londres no dudaremos en hacerles otra visita.

Nice little cafe down off the main streets, seating downstairs but quite small and basic but clean and the food is very good for the price.

Après une longue journée qui s'est terminée en vadrouillant dans le grand Westminster et ses magasins hors de prix, rien n'aurait pu mieux tomber que ce petit restaurant/fast-food/plats maison Une ambiance de resto italien new yorkais avec les chauffeurs de taxi qui viennent prendre leur café et dont on entend les conversations plutôt drôles (café qui est apparemment excellent selon les autres avis mais que nous n'avons pas goûté) Les pâtes sont aussi excellentes, très riches en saveur et les lasagnes sont tout simplement divines... Tout cela pour un prix très honnête de 7£ pour une assiette de pâtes généreuse (version small en plus) si vous êtes dans Westminster et que vous ne voulez pas aller dans un 3 étoiles faute de budget, vous savez où aller très bon spot pour les couples également, une ambiance très sympa

Triple B. Local pequeño pero con mucha variedad, la comida abundante, si estas de viaje yo recomiendo pedir un takeaway y ir a comer en Green Park (dos bebidas y dos raciones grandes de espaguetti con albondigas enormes 14libras)

No nonsense, sandwich bar perfection. And best breakfast in Mayfair!

Great price and quantity. Quality is ok, but not great. Excellent service.

Found this great place when being hungry and in desperate search for something nice, filling and not too pricy. This place is quiet busy, but you barely notice because they are super fast. The panini are authentic Italian with very good ingredients (the parma ham was real one) If you are sitting down, don't forget to get a real Italian espresso All in all: loved it!

Тихое местечко и приятная атмосфера в самом центре Лондона. Вежливое и аккуратное обслуживание,вкусные и большие блюда за небольшой бюджет.

Great food and great value this place is the best. My favourite is the Steak Cheese and Mushroom Panini for £5.

Genau das was man morgens braucht. Gutes English Breakfast und auch fantastischer Kaffee. Schön bodenständig und super günstig für London. Hier essen die Locals, neben uns saß direkt die Polizei und hatte die erste Besprechung des Tages :-) Hier würde ich jederzeit wieder hinkommen

Friendly, fast service. Chicken meatballs are a revelation!!

Si quieres una comida muy sabrosa a buen precio en el centro de Londres, y todos esos restaurantes elegantes y aburridos no son el lugar para ti, ¡ven aquí! Este bar tiene un buen desayuno inglés, pizzas y lo mejor: paninis con carne, pechuga de pollo, mozzarella, vieiras y otros ingredientes deliciosos. ¡Y sólo por 5! El personal es realmente agradable y este es el lugar donde van todos los lugareños.

Not the best breakfast I've had. I wouldn't go back

Haven’t tried all the dishes but English breakfast is almost perfect the portions are big for the price and include toast and tea or coffee. The sausage ain’t bad and chips are prefect. Everything seems to be freshly cooked to order. At peak times may be a bit crowded

Delicious lunch food. Ciabatta sandwiches with freshly cooked fillings

Cheerful generous breakfast - if we're nearby we'll always go there.

Had a very nice fried breakfast and coffee, clean and tidy establishment, good value for Mayfair! Sells rolls, takeaways and sit down meals. Seems very popular

Cheap, fast, and yummy. Open when you NEED it, since most food in Mayfair is closed at odd hours.

Frequented by most taxi drivers in the Westminster area, great food, small dining area down stairs but open from 0600=2300.

An Anglo-Italo-Portuguese greasy spoon which is stuffed with taxi drivers at all hours. Taxi drivers know their greasy spoons so that is quite a recommendation.

Thank you for the borjú lasagne!

On the recommendation of the doorman at a nearby hotel that I was staying at I had breakfast here a couple of times.

We came across this little cafe on a day trip to London. No frills fantastic food. Great portions good value will definitely be back when next in London.

Excellent breakfast. Great value

Entramos en este café porque nos atraían los fantásticos olores que venían de allí. Increíble auténtico desayuno británico y no es un mal café. Popular entre todos los taxistas que vienen por el café y la comida regular. Nada de lujos, solo una gran experiencia.

Eventually got around to trying breakfast here as always frequented by black cabbies which is always a good sign. Breakfast option 3 is cheese omelette tomatoes beans and hash browns for £5 with a mug of tea for extra £1.10. Arrived quickly and hot but most importantly tasty and omelette had plenty of cheese. I will be back again.....also they have cakes they make themselves sometimes well worth checking out as are the large Bakewell tarts (bought in)

Best italian sandwich in london

One of those fantastic authentic Independant london cafes - so few of these remain and this is great one

Very good set breakfast at reasonable price. Friendly staff. Good strong tea. Ideal to set you up for the day.

Si eres fanático de la auténtica comida italiana, Piccolo Bar es un buen lugar para una comida. Una vez que estuve adentro, sentí que estaba en Nueva York, no en Londres. El lugar es un poco pequeño pero tiene asientos estilo banco en el piso principal y mesas en la planta baja. El asiento de abajo está justo al lado de la cocina. Es un lugar realmente acogedor pero un gran lugar para hablar con la gente en otras mesas, algo que siempre aprecio.

It was an ok breakfast. Very very busy. There is a little sitting down stairs, about 6 or 7 tables for 4, but you need to order at the counter first.

Great little find in the middle of park lane hotels, breakfast £5.50, can't go wrong with that.

Looking for a small friendly bar with delicious sandwiches? Well look no further. It's a very small bar which delivers a massive punch. They also do a great latte. Great serivce and wonderful atmosphere

Great sandwich mixes.Downstairs eating area is a bit of an afterthought.Good prices.

Amazing find in London. 5 quid for several types of breakfast. The breakfast is simple and you eat downstairs. It was a working man's place with local construction workers ordering food. It was one of those places you wish you would have found on day one of your visit.

Lunch time rush in central Mayfair; Suits next to Cabbies next to Workmen - everyone drawn towards a smoke-filled room as panini toasters fire away and beverages boil.

Great lunch place and very popular choice amonst nearby workers and cabbies. Good quality food, generous portion, extremely reasonably priced (for Mayfair). BTW apparently this place is also frequented by celebrities and they are famous for the bacon, brie and cranberry panini.

I knew that this place must have been good, when I saw all of the local cab drivers popping in for their meals. I had the Lasagna, it was great. Great food with very efficient staff.

This is a London Black taxi favorite. There are always taxi drivers parked outside waiting on their breakfast or lunch. This is not what I would actually call a restaurant. There are some seats in the basement but mostly its a take away place. Lots of pasta dishes, lasagna, sandwiches of all kinds and breakfast. Certainly good value for money!

Popped here for a quick bite to eat whilst at work in the area. Great selection of food and drink all at a reasonable price. The food tastes fantastic and portion size very generous, will definitely visit again.

Mi marido y yo encontramos esta joya durante un paseo por la mañana alrededor de Mayfair buscando una tienda de comestibles. Este lugar estaba cerca de la tienda de comestibles. Cuando no nos sentimos como vestirse para comer o simplemente queríamos comer después de un día ajetreado de ser turistas, nos dieron comida en el bar de piccolo. Estaba abierto temprano para el desayuno y abierto hasta tarde por la noche. La comida era buena y a un precio razonable.

Good cheap food with friendly people
