Spaghetti House- Argyll Street in City of London, Westminster

Food was great, service was not so great.

Friendly staff..Manuel very kind and helpful, we had a chat... Good food and welcoming place. We had dinner twice and tasted different dishes... I recommend it...

Everything perfect, a must for anyone passing through London

Staff where very helpful and food was amazing

Excellent service and excellent food and excellent staff. Must visit of in London

Review for the restaurant: We visited an Italian restaurant in Soho, London, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Right from the start, the service fell short. The manager seated us, and when we inquired about the portion size of the lasagne (in grams or calories), it took three attempts to get an answer—something that should have been handled much more smoothly. We ordered a lasagne, a pizza, and two glasses of wine. When the wine arrived, the waiter silently placed the glasses on the table and walked away without a word. We would have expected at least the most basic courtesy—something as simple as “Here is your wine” or “Enjoy your drinks.” The lack of acknowledgment or engagement made the service feel impersonal and uninspired. As for the food, it was highly disappointing. Both the lasagne and pizza tasted bland, more like canteen food than authentic Italian cuisine. For the price charged, this was unacceptable. The worst moment came when I discovered a white hair in my lasagne. I called the manager over, and rather than apologising, he tried to convince me that it was a piece of unmelted cheese. His response lacked sincerity, and while he offered to replace the lasagne, his demeanour made it clear that customer satisfaction wasn’t a priority. London is undoubtedly an expensive city, but it is also home to countless restaurants that offer truly delicious food at reasonable, even affordable prices. Sadly, this restaurant does not belong in that category. Furthermore, it’s baffling how many people leave glowing reviews for places like this, seemingly unaware of what good food truly tastes like—or perhaps unwilling to admit they wasted their money at a subpar establishment. We will not be returning, and we would not recommend this restaurant to others.

Best Italian cuisine in Soho. Great atmosphere, affordable and extremely delicious. Special thanks to Manuel and Diego for the friendliness and warm hospitality!

Al dente pasta, good sauce and they grate the parmesan cheese as many times as you want. Very good service and atmosphere.

Everything perfect, fast service and quality. Tried the pizza and loved it. Next time we'll go with the former! Diego TOP!

Service, meals, quality-price, very correct! I recommend

Very attentive service and delicious food

Excellent little place located in the center of London, for us Italian tourists it was a pleasant discovery: delicious and plentiful dishes, fast service and unparalleled hospitality. Special thanks go to the manager Diego who made us feel at home. A must try if you go to London.

Bustling little place where we walked in and got a table. Tasty pasta, excellent wine, nice people

The service was amazing from when we walked in the door. And then lucked out to sit with the owner for our entire meal. He was a delight. Great food too!

The spaghetti and calamari were perfect 👌

The food was ok but the price was too high

Order some pizza and eat it with Feichangnan

Good evening we were attended by the manager Manuel, who from the beginning was super friendly and attentive, recommended the best food. I had a very good meal, I recommend the restaurant, for me the best in London.

Very busy restaurant with very nice atmosphere on Saturday night. Good food and service. See you soon

Too expensive, quality of the food reallt poor ( i am italian), service really bad

We loved the service, the pizza was delicious

It is a special place because of the people who serve it, Chef George and Manuel are very special. I recommend this place to everyone who wants a good meal for a good price. Thank you.

We leave this restaurant happy because Giorgio and Manuel have been very special and have the best food in the world. World Your attention is spectacular and I will definitely return every time. I recommend this restaurant forever

Spaghetti Carbonara was alright, but they got the order wrong. The food came first, then the cutlery and at the end the beverage. Staff seemed a little bit stressed although there were no many customers here. Atmosphere was nice though.

Siyona was perfect ! Thank you so much !

Best Italian place in the area. Highly recommended

It was really good, the customer service is perfect

Restaurant had only 2 tables filled, the second we arrived the first question the garcon made us was if we had any food allergies, because the kitchen was contaminated with all types of food! We left, 0% hygiene and care with food

The restaurant is so good. The food is very delicious. The bartender Meet is very nice and helpful. Thank you! 🙏✨

Thanks for a Perfect Italian lunch! Enjoyed the Food and really polite and competent service. Will come again! Johannes

Nice options/menu for children. Food was good and the waitress (Siyona) very friendly. Nice spot for lunch when you need a break from shopping. Minuspoint: Bathrooms could use a renovation..

Exceptional service from the managers! The food was fresh and delicious – I’ll definitely be coming back regularly. I had the lasagne, and my nephew had the pizza, which he said was “heavenly.” Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Diego was very lovely and helpful. Food was amazing. Service was A*** very happy with my experience. Diego tried very hard to make our time here a super positive experience. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Not high quality Italian restaurant. Meets standards of okay Italian food. I Came in with a buggy, there were two doors to open. Both very narrow. No one in the staff helped me coming in or out and they looked at me struggling with the door on both occasions. Not great service.

Nous avons eu un accueil exceptionnel. Nous avons pris la limonade est nous n'avons pas regretté. Elle était rafraîchissante et pas trop sucrée. Les pâtes à l’arabiata ainsi que la margarita était magnifique. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés

We had great food and experienced the best service!

Food was awesome . We had penne arrabita & diavola pizza . Both were outstanding in taste m freshness. A must visit in london when around.

Everything perfect, very kind staff

The food was very good and Diego was really nice! We had the pizza diavola and the tagliatelle with sausage, i would recommend both of them! :)

Perhaps I picked the wrong dish bit was disappointed with what arrived. Given the prices one now has to pay, even more disappointed. Circa £5 for a soft drink seems a bit much.

Been in this beautiful restaurant on last Saturday, very busy place amazing food and very polite staff. See you next time.

Great food and lovely service ! Well priced :)

Lovely food warm host. Definitely recommend.

Efficiency is toooo bad, Wait toooooo long, wait 40mins, food quality is soso, not recommend it.

Bad experience. The foods coming so slowly like 40 minutes Just unbelievable. And foods no quality. Bad service. All bad!!!

We had a great time at the restaurant :) The food was great and the staff were even greater! Very nice place overall, really clean and organized. The portions aren't too big but just right. Our waiter, Diallo was not only super nice but also very helpful and patient, to be honest it was the best customer service that I got to experience on my trip to GB!

More options like burrata salad because I couldn’t find it , I wish if there were more options on the portion sizes of the pasta like the number of grams in the dish .

The best pasta in London! Definitely try their king prawn linguine, but ask to remove chilli first, and you’ll enjoy fantastic mediterranean dish!

Pizza and calamari was amazing. Our amazing waiter Diallo served us with amazing customer service

Good service and good food and Portuguese chef

Brilliant food and brilliant service … all members of staff led by Diego

Delightful meal. Atmosphere was lacking something… maybe better lighting or ambience but the pasta was great and price seemed fair.

Very good Italian restaurant, excellent food and attentive service.

Lovely pre show meal here and will always be back when visiting the London Palladium. Thank you

Accueil très bien avec le sourire, les serveurs sont au petit soin pour les clients. Le repas était très bon, la qualité dans l’assiette est bien pas trop. Bon rapport qualité prix Je vous conseil un arrêt pour y manger.

Today I just pop in your restaurant at Argyll Street and I must say everything was great… both food and service were outstanding…just a small feedback…it would be great to have Spaghetti Pesto back in the menu

Service charge was very high, and I was made to feel uncomfortable about lowering it in order to be pressured into paying the full amount. Food portions were generous and quality was fair for a chain restaurant, but I definitely would not return.

The food was delicious. The staff also very friendly. And there was a good atmosphere

Excellent pizza and pasta, paired with phenomenal service, even on a busy evening. Overall, a wonderful experience and I'll certainly visit again.

Great dining experience at Spaghetti House. We went on a Wednesday evening and the food was tasty and service was quick. The restaurant atmosphere was nice and busy. Customer service from the team was excellent. Overall I would highly recommend a visit.

12 out of 10. Great food, great service 👌🤌

Exceptional service, amazing food.

The food was normal, neither sweet nor bad, and the workers were not attentive

We took a chance on not pre-booking a pre theatre meal and, after several rejections, and beginning to think that we would be grabbing a sandwich, we ended up at this restaurant and were very pleased that we did. The food was good, the staff were friendly and we were well fed and out again 20 minutes before curtain up... ideal.

Probably one of the best carbonaras I’ve eaten. However, portions are pretty big!!! I wasn’t able to finish my plate despite it being delicious, so plan to share if you don’t have a big appetite!

Excellent restaurant with very tasty dishes... you just need to know how to choose

Great pasta, great pizza, great dough balls, great staff and a lovely atmosphere! A must try place for spaghetti/pasta/pizza lovers!

I recently dined at Spaghetti House on Argyll Street, it’s the cosiest and most charming restaurant I’ve visited in a while. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a delightful meal. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a great dining experience. We started with the arancini di riso – crispy arancini filled with mozzarella, beef and pork ragu, and spicy arrabbiata. It was absolutely delicious, with the perfect blend of textures and flavours. The calamari fritti was another highlight; you just can’t go wrong with it – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. We also tried the zucchini fritte, which was incredibly tasty. The dish of lentils with tomato, carrots, garlic, and parsley had a delicious flavour that was both hearty and comforting. For our main courses, we had the classic carbonara, which was creamy and perfectly balanced. However, my absolute favourite was the linguine gambari asparagus – linguine with king prawns, asparagus, tomatoes, white wine, garlic, and fresh chili. The flavours were spot on, making it an unforgettable dish. To finish off the meal, we indulged in the decadent chocolate cake and the classic tiramisu. Both desserts were a perfect ending to a fantastic meal, rich and flavourful. Overall, every dish we tried was tasty and satisfying. I definitely loved my experience at Spaghetti House and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy and delicious dining experience in the heart of London.

Loved our dinner, chef Antonio is amazing. All the serving staff were so attentive, especially Arjun. A great place to eat.

The food is delicious and nice and the prices are average Thank you Sandra for the reception

Just walked in , no issues getting a table as it was early afternoon. I ordered gluten free penne al Pomodoro and a glass of wine, my son had the spaghetti Bolognese cheesy garlic bread and a delicious lemonade. The servers were very attentive, food was delicious and well presented the atmosphere was lovely, Dean Martin style songs in the background. My son paid , but I did find it a bit pricy, that didn't stop us enjoying the meal and ambiance though.

The food was good, but not good enough to cost us what it cost.

Tastes like microwave pasta, RIDICULOUSLY over priced, worst pasta I've ever eaten in my life. Would give no stars if I could

We found this restaurant as we were looking for a pre theatre meal. We were in a bit of a hurry and told the waiter this. We were seated promptly and our order was taken straight away. The food and wine were excellent. Food tasty and hot, great value for money. The atmosphere was really good. All of the staff were friendly, efficient and made our visit perfect. Well done guys. We will be highly recommending this restaurant and definitely visiting again next time we are in the area.

had a great experience. The pizza was very good, with a perfect crust and flavorful toppings. I orders salmon salad that was also good, the salmon itself cooked to perfection. Overall, a satisfying meal and a restaurant worth visiting.

My wife and I popped in for a quick meal. We both ordered Ceaser Salad, I had salmon with it, and my wife had chicken breast. I also ordered 1 glass of Coke and 2 glasses of white wine. The food arrived. ....we had to ask for extra mayonnaise and the parma cheese. To be honest, the salad was like strips of lettuce with croutons sprinkled over them. TOTALLY TASTELESS. The salmon & chicken were fine. The bill came to £81. 13% of that was a service charge. What a joke, poor service, poor food. NEVER AGAIN.

We stopped by for Sunday lunch…The food was good, considering the location and how busy they were, the atmosphere was lively yet the team were attentive. A particular shout out to the manager on shift nano who went out of her way to ensure our family was looked after.. We had a great time

Extremely lovely and friendly staff who even point out that tips are already included in the price

We had a nice experience. We accidentally entered this restaurant because we were hungry. And the spaghetti carbonara was one of the best we ate. The waiter was helpful. Portions are large. We couldn't eat everything even though we were very hungry. Unfortunately, I'm reading previous recessions now and we're really scared. But our experience was positive.

A little pricey, but overall a good place to eat.

Wonderful experience tonight! Tasty pasta and helpful, friendly staff.

Pretty average food and service. It was busy with a queue outside and we felt rushed out the restaurant - they kept asking us if we wanted the bill and we hadn't even had dessert! Our waitress was also pretty abrupt and they add a tip to the bill without asking. We won't be rushing back.

Stopped for a quick lunch on a day in London. Two bowls of pasta and two pizzas, and 1 bottle of sparkling water was quite costly for a midweek lunch. Food was very nice, portions, were good sized. Overall nice lunch but wouldn’t rush back.

We had booked but arrived early and was seated. However, had to ask to get a drink, was not offered water at any point or condiments unlike every other table around us. The main course literally arrived within seconds of the last mouthful of our starter. The waiter who served us looked like he had been dragged in from the homeless shelter! I think a standard of attire is to be expected in a restaurant, rather than the most creased up jeans we have ever seen, hardly gives you confidence in your server. We always tip but this time we didn't feel we could do so and asked for the 13.5% service charge that was automatically added to the bill to be removed. The windows looked like they had never seen a window cleaner, considering the location and revenue this place must get we found it extremely poor.

You eat well and the price is good. They charge the tip automatically and that shocked me, but otherwise very good.

Incredible 9/10 good food and good service and not verte expensive

It was spectacular to eat here! Divine food… and wonderful service. The price is ok. I loved!

Found this place by accident on a Sunday lunchtime. Cramped inside but really delicious food. The best thing we ate during our whole stay in London.

Very expensive for pasta with a small amount of sauce. We wouldn't go again

Love Spaghetti House, never been to this particular one before but was in London for my daughter's birthday and decided to give it a try. Very odd atmosphere, had trouble getting staff to understand my request for parmesan cheese once our main course had arrived, the waiter didn't know what I wanted so went and got someone else! Massive error, as this would normally be offered immediately. Diet coke was undrinkable due to the pump needing changing, even the waitress tried it and said 'that's really bad'. Either this chain has gone rapidly downhill, or it's just this particular restaurant that doesn't live up to the usual standard? Needless to say, we won't be going there again any time soon.

Lovely food. A shame the music was so loud that everyone had to shout to he heard.

One really good place with really good Italian food but with really bad service.

Friendly people and tasty food! Love it!

Plats simples mais qui valent leur prix (= prix corrects pour la situation géographique du restaurant). Le service a été très très rapide ! Personnel souriant ! Néanmoins, vérifier de vous installez dans un des coins pour éviter de recevoir le courant d’air des allées et venues des clients 😞

Had dinner here before the Panto at the Palladium (almost next door). We were greeted warmly and looked after throughout. Quick service , great food and Not too expensive 😋

Very convenient for a lunch before visiting the Palladium. Usual italian food range, we had pizza and arancini balls. Prices normal for London in this type of restaurant. No tip left as "discretionary service" of 13.5% added to the bill! Service was good, friendly and speedy.

I ordered spaghetti bolognese and it was a bit simple, the breaded chicken was better

We were looking for an opportunity to eat with 5 people. It was rainy outside and very busy inside and we had not made a reservation. Still, Nona quickly managed to arrange a table for us. Delicious spaghetti eaten in the center of London for a reasonable price. Drinks are a bit on the expensive side, otherwise great atmosphere. Normally 5 stars, but because Mariah Carey is singing the same song all the time in the background: one star less (almost two less). If this establishment had beautiful Italian songs, you would really imagine yourself in Italy. Do something about the music owner!!! Also for your staff who have to work in this all day.

Seating was very congested. But the staff was good and so was the food

We enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, service wasn't that good, even though there wasn't that much going on. For example, it took about 10 minutes until the empty plates were served. Tip of 13.5% included. I can recommend the espresso: it tasted good and the cup was even warmed!
