Spaghetti House in City of London, Westminster

everytime i came in this Spaghetti House near Leicester Square i never come out disappointed. The pasta menu reflects traditional Italian recipes without distortions, which instead is often the case with many other restaurants that want to call themselves 'Italian' here in London. recommended

Great place to eat, with friendly staff and great service. Filipe looked after us so well! Thank you

It's worth a visit. Very good food. I would prefer the place to be a little more atmospheric.

Great lunch venue off Leicester Square ideal for before a show. Lovely Salmon Caesar Salad, fresh bread, good olive oil and balsamic, lovely half carafe of montepluciano!

First day walking around the area and my son saw a customer eating outside with great pizza, we had to come for supper! Great food and experience! Thank you!

Perfecto!!!!! Wonderful service and wonderful food!

Everything is very delicious...good service

Good Italian food, nice service, Marian was very helpful

Great food, service etc at a reasonable price. Would go again.

Depressing! What’s most annoying is when it says Italian food but actually it’s different ! 🥹

Great service by Felipe and his colleagues and the pasta was really good.

It is a place near one of the busiest streets in London. Still it is a very quiet place. We were served by a waiter named Felipe who was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and comes in quite considerable quantities. I really recommend it if you want to eat well and calmly.

I got the pizza and it was very yummy!

Wonderful stop before the show. Very friendly and helpful staff as well. Would certainly recommend.

Wonderful pre-theatre food experience. Quick and tasty meal. Waitress bit curt as we didn’t see instructions to wait at entrance (our error) which evidently annoyed her but the lovely restaurant staff in downstairs area made up for it. Food was lovely.

Sky and Francesco excellent hosts. needless to say that their dishes are good.... they must be enjoyed and I recommend them.... carefree lunch, comfortable atmosphere..... If you are in London you have to stop and.....!!!

Service was great, food super quick despite busy saturday, and staff was very friendly

I recently visited Spaghetti House and ordered the pasta carbonara — it was absolutely delicious! The sauce was creamy and rich, the pasta perfectly cooked, and the portion just right. What made the experience even better was the service. I sat at table 21, Marian, our waiter was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. It’s rare to find both great food and such warm service in one place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Food good, salad not very fresh but otherwise very good. We had Penne alla Norma Pizza Caprichosa and a lasagna. The atmosphere was very nice and simple and the service was nice and friendly. And everyone has a neilahesakat to eat, drink a beer and water

A very good spagetti carbonara and friendly staff. We will definitely come back for more.

Best spagbol I’ve had anywhere, big portions, accommodating staff. And really helpful with my intolerances.

Pasta hard, little flavour. Still wanted three 13.5 percent tip . Very disappointed . Drink very expensive

Great food, friendly and welcoming service!

Tried the arancini, pizza capricciosa and mac amatriciana but all of them were just tastless. Perhaps we had high expectations and thought it would be some authentic Italian experience but we were very disappointed.

We are vegetarian and order arrabbiata pasta and there was a meat on it by mistake! When we told the waitress there was no apology or any thing. We asked them to remove it from the bill and they did. Also, its a spaghetti house they should do everything from scratch. Disappointed

We stopped for a quick late lunch and ordered meals which usually are nice and easy in an Italian restaurant.Pasta dish with an alright sauce but overcooked pasta and a Caesar salad some sad looking thinly cut up lettuce with very dry chicken which didn’t taste fresh either.My daughter’s meal was reasonable and we ate because we were in a hurry and hungry and no one came round to check if it’s all ok anyway.The rude comment of the waiter/manager to my comment about the chicken that i”in this borough”they have to make the chicken well done(like all the rest of undercook chicken or never had a nice cooked chicken and we’re being stupid for even mentioning that…made it an unpleasant experience.They wouldn’t care because tourists will come and go and the business runs itself anyway,but as someone who worked in the industry for 17 years I just can’t accept this appalling service and pretend I enjoyed some mediocre food

The Margherita cheese did slide off quite easily when fresh and wasn't cut very evenly but other than that everything was brilliant. I don't understand how this place is only 3.9 stars.

Three words darlings, three words: FAB YOU LUSS xxx

"I recently had lunch at Spaghetti House in London and was thoroughly impressed. The menu boasts authentic Italian dishes bursting with flavor. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the mouthwatering pizza , each dish was a culinary delight. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine in the heart of London!"

My expectation for the food was better, but the Siciliana pizza was very salty. Frankly, being too salty seriously suppressed the taste of the fish and pizza. Apart from this, it is a general rule in restaurants in London that there is no obligation to charge a cover charge or a service charge. It was not stated that the restaurant had a mandatory cover charge before receiving the menu. A very high cover charge of 13.5% was stated wittily, especially avoiding service charge, and it is unacceptable for such an elite place to stoop to this. However, it is humanly embarrassing that the waiter forces you to pay this and that other customers hear about it. The customer is always right, a forced fee cannot be made up. I did not want to pay a service charge because of the service and bill we waited for so long. I stated that I will write this situation openly, I hope a more professional management approach is adopted and customers do not become humiliated in front of other customers by the waiters.

Amazing place, amazing food and great price. Highly recommend.

As a family of six spanning three generations, we were delighted by the kind welcome of the manager and the staff. Everyone was most accommodating, very attentive to dietary restrictions, and the food was prompt and very tasty. Each of us, from youngest to eldest enjoyed our food and ate our fill. The restaurant has a Mediterranean flair, and is on multiple levels, so don’t be fooled by the small dimensions of the street level footprint.

If you want to travel to Italy, without leaving London, look no further than the Spaghetti House on Cranbourn St. It’s is a foolproof choice for a great, authentic Italian meal. Every time we visit, we are so impressed by the outstanding and genuinely caring service - thanks to Skye who always welcomes us back like family. The food is wonderful. My personal fav is the Spaghetti con polpettine. Divine! And don't miss out on dessert. The Tentazione al cioccolato is a chocolate lover’s dream come true. The atmosphere is lovely and it remains fantastic value for money. All in all, a flawless experience every time.

An Amazing Experience at The Spaghetti House!!!! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, with Skye’s warm hospitality setting the tone. Francesco’s recommendations were spot-on, enhancing an already outstanding meal. Every detail came together for a truly memorable evening. One of my favourite spots in London !

Unforgettable Night at The Spaghetti House – Thanks to Skye & Francesco! Skye’s warm welcome and Francesco’s expert wine pairing made our meal exceptional. The house-made Cacio e Pepe was perfection—creamy, balanced, and unforgettable. Their passion for hospitality turned a great dinner into a truly special experience. Five stars!

The Spaghetti House offers an unforgettable dining experience that blends warmth, flavor, and excellence. With each dish, from the rich Bolognese to the perfectly crafted seafood pastas, you’re treated to authentic Italian cuisine that’s second to none. The wine pairings enhance every bite, making the meal even more exceptional. Skye and Francesco’s passion for quality and detail shines through, ensuring a memorable evening filled with delicious food and top-notch service. A true gem for anyone craving a perfect Italian meal!

Great food and great atmosphere 👌

It's been a really nice experience, the waiters have been kind, good food.

Had afternoon special food was delicious and the staff so friendly would highly recommend

The food is great and the service was also amazing. So amazing that we went here twice while we were in town!!

Sky was amazing I would recommend to others to try

A very nice, quiet, place in the heart of theatreland. Service could have been a bit more attentive but the food hit the spot.

Sky waitress was magnificient.. would come back

It was truly a fantastic experience. The food was really good and the service too! I absolutely recommend!

Hello, Excuse me for my bad English because I’ m girly French. I love this restaurant because the pasta is very delicious and the Parmesan miam miam. The serveuse is very sympathique. I donne 5 stars all. Thank you for this pasta and spritz. I recommande for my friends of France hihi ( I promise I want effort fort my bad English) The also mauvais point is the door du coup, this is un cold cannetons.( baby duck) Xoxoxo

Call us crazy, because we still had Italian food in Chinatown 😁😁 And it was tasty too. We hadn't made a reservation, but luckily they still had a table available. Clean, tasty and good friendly service.

Small but cozy place, very well attended. Tasty pastas and the drinks too ;)

Amazing service, very fast and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming and the pasta was the best pasta in the world (said H aged 9) !!!!!!

Service was terrible we waited for an hour and wasn't even given water

Poor staff, uninspired food, expensive - with a stealth fee of a "compulsory 13.5% service". Good location and lots of (cramped) seating.

The welcome and the setting are nice. Regarding the kitchen it's something else. Carbonara pasta with crème fraîche😱😱. A hyper-diluted aperol spritz 🤦🏻. £112 for 4 pastas and 4 drinks is crazy. It stays in your throat

The arancini balls where tiny expected a large one, the meatball pasta wasn't that great nor was the lasagne average food for the money we paid, the tables were so tightly packed in we had to ask others to move to let us out...

No words can describe how delicious this food, Seriously thank you from the heart I never tasted this before and I believe neither in the future

Sneaky buggers added £7 service charge to our bill for use of cutlery....not for the staff...outrageous

Food not special. Cover Charge 13.5%!!! Price-performance doesn't fit at all!

Amazing food and exceptional service - a lovely spot for couples, signals and family’s alike, would highly recommend

Finally some good pasta all'arrabiatta and killer tiramisu! Excellent food, authentic atmosphere and very sweet servers. Grazie!

Had an amazing meal! The food was exceptional—delicious pasta and rich flavours. What really made the experience special, though, was our waitress, Skye. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her outstanding service truly made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot!

We had a lovely dinner with friends. Service was particularly efficient and pleasant. The tagliatelle prosciutto was delicious.

Beautiful restaurant, the food was so tasty and portions sizes were very generous. I left my purse there and Francesco posted it to me the next working day. Greatly appreciated. Will be coming back again. Thanks!

excellent service, excellent food! We got a sharing bowl for 2 and it was very well worth the price, not expensive!

The pasta is delicious. I like the beef and pork ball.

Lovely staff, great service and really good food! The Carbonara is really delicious!

Francesco was absolutely fantastic! Attentive, friendly, and always ready with great recommendations. He made our dining experience even more enjoyable—top-notch service!

The worst carbonara I have ever eaten and too expensive!

Service was great. Friendly and quick. Food hit the spot!

I had an amazing time at The Spaghetti House! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made the evening unforgettable were Skye and Francesco. Skye’s friendly and vibrant personality had us laughing and feeling right at home from the start, while Francesco, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. Their energy and attention to detail turned a simple meal into an incredibly entertaining night. Highly recommend this spot for both great food and exceptional service!

Great service, great place and temperature, very quick and tasty food. This place deserves more stars than it has. Amazing dinner.

really great service, the waitresses (especially Skye) were really attentive despite the busy Saturday!

The service was exceptional and the food was delicious

Brilliant food- very authentic and delicious. Service was very attentive and considerate of food allergies despite being busy. Our experience was lovely and we will definitely be back!

Great friendly and attentive service. Food was speedy and delicious with a generous portion size. Love it!

Priyank is always soooo smiling and helpful. We love coming here and often do. I insist on how Priyank has made our experience super lovely.

At first the waiters were kind. The prices were high, but we expected to receive very high-quality food. But we were very disappointed. The caesar salad had an abnormal amount of vinegar added to it, we found a piece of plastic in the spaghetti, and the spaghetti with seafood was watery and completely tasteless. The staff did not offer us any compensation but instead charged us 13.5% for service. The prices for such a kitchen are more than high. And as the last straw, the staff blamed us for being too late to say that we were not satisfied. We left the food on the plates

Perfect superb experience! I recommend

I used to love this place. Came here many times with family, and craved it during all my pregnancies. Haven’t been here for 6 months and it went downhill. I don’t know if their chef changed or care for quality altogether but food was inedible. Pizza was undercooked felt like I was eating a raw dough, my tagliatelle was far from al dente it was way undercooked and crunchy, my husbands spaghetti was a bit closer to al dente I had few bites of his not to leave the table hungry. Sauces seriously lacked flavour, it was a disaster. Staff is polite, but lack professionalism. They don’t know how to serve food had to constantly assist the waitress. Definitely not coming here again which is a shame as I used to love this place as mentioned before.

This was the first time we’d visited and the staff were super welcoming and helpful from my calling the restaurant before visiting to arriving at the restaurant and being attended throughout. The food is delicious and feels authentically Italian. Despite being in a bustling location the restaurant has a calm and cosy feel to it (we were sat downstairs below ground level). It’s a small space but has an interesting layout and didn’t feel crowded. We loved it and will come back the next time we’re in London!

A little disappointed with our experience at this establishment. Given the name of the establishment, one might expect beautiful fresh spaghetti. This is not the case. A little bland, products that are nothing exceptional, overcooked and dry meatballs... and neutral service, without really investment. It's a shame because it could be superb. It feels a bit like a canteen.

It was the best Spaghetti I ever had. So delicious :) and though the Restaurant was very busy, the stuff was very nice and helpful.

Sky waitress was spot on 😁 great singing and great espresso martini thanks 👏👏👏👏👍

Gorgeous food and excellent service. Tarikul was very knowledgeable about the menu and very approachable.

Gets three stars for 13.5% cover charge added onto bill that I was told I can’t take off! You are not told about this upon entering the restaurant nor when ordering. Just slapped on bill as a surprise at end. Service was slow. Food nice, nothing special though.

Good Food, good service in a good atmosphere. Pasta portions good size and well made. Had a good Italian IPA real ale. Prices reasonable for the location of this restaurant.

Muy buen restaurante, las pizzas y los espaguetis eran deliciosos, y los postres eran excelentes. Además de eso, el servicio era muy eficiente, y el personal era muy amable. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

No habíamos reservado, pero tenemos una mesa encantadora aquí antes de nuestro espectáculo. El servicio fue excelente, tuve una ensalada César y honestamente puedo decir que fue el mejor que he tenido, el aderezo era divino. Sin duda volveré en mi próxima visita a Londres.

The pizza Margherita was really delicious. The linguini Gamberi a little bit spicy for those who love hot sauce, it was delicious too. Special thanks for the staff who was carrying.

It was a wonderfull time here at this lovely restaurant with its italian charme. Would go again asap. Thanks!

Very crowded and tables next to each other. Food is good but I remember it was better last year we visited.

Festive season, restaurants running full so any customisations are out of question. We asked for it and got denied. So had to order what was available and was not well suited to our palate (bring on the spicier side). Overall good food, great service and a good festive dinner at a place buzzing with customers. Good vibes.

We tried the Spaghettata for 2 people of Spaghetti with polpettine and we loved it! Only for two people you are left hungry. The desserts are also good. I recommend booking because it is very full. The service a little slow.

Everything beautiful. Good quality-price ratio. They serve you spectacularly. Delicious food and great area.

Food was really nice, it was clean, with a good atmosphere, and amazing staff. However there was a 13.5% cover charge added to the bill (hidden at the bottom of the menu) for “maintenance of the building” that didn’t even cover a tip for the staff!

Staff weren’t very friendly, food was ok. We Ordered a salad and came with a hair on it, waiter didn’t apologise or say anything, just took it away and bought it back 10 minutes later. & The salad and service charge were still on the bill! Wouldn’t recommend

We've had lunch at this place a couple of times and the service was good, sometimes excellent. Delicious food

“Spaghetti House near Covent Garden is a hidden gem! Big portions of delicious pasta that will make your carb-loving heart sing. Perfect for a quick bite or a cozy meal after exploring the area. Come hungry, leave happy!”

i don’t really know why there’s so many bad reviews. the food was fantastic, arrived fast and was warm. no wait time. amazing food!

I like the food, service can be better Very tight spaces Ordered wine and spaghetti, very delicious.

His spaghetti was very simple and tasteless, I was very surprised. I do not recommend it at all, the prices are very expensive, there are many nice restaurants nearby that you can go to if you pay that money. Additionally, the female employee who served our table was very cold and harsh. We said "thank you" twice and she did not respond at all. We were not satisfied at all, it was the standard spaghetti bought from the market, you can make much better ones at home.

Very busy evening however staff were welcoming and efficient. Service as also quick

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, with delicious food and a friendly, attentive staff.
