The Italian Greyhound in City of London, Westminster

Overrated, bad service & seating of guests, quick in dismissing patrons post payment, better service at McDonald’s..

We turned up without a reservation on a Friday night for a table of five. Despite our tricky number & lack of booking, they managed to seat us outside - our first choice. The staff were great, and menu very interesting. I’m not vegetarian (far from it) but didn’t eat meat that night but very much enjoyed my dinner. We had eggplant parmigiana, pizza, pasta mains after enjoying some rustic appetisers. Everything was very good and a lovely night was had by all. This was our last night in London before heading back to the US and this was a good choice as a finale to our trip.

Atmosfera aconchegante e cardápio bem elaborado. Experimentei o ravioli com trufas, estava divino, mas a porção é pequena, recomendo pedir um acompanhamento e/ou entrada.

They have some excellent dishes; the Chicken Milanese and Tomato Salad. The Bread is over-priced and not very good. When you buy bottled water, specify a brand name or they will give you so-so water that they carbonate and charge a good price. The service is good, and an excellent value.

Fantastic modern Italian food great for any time of day with friendly staff in a lovely bright and spacious midcentury modern space.

We visited this restaurant on a busy Saturday afternoon before attending a BST event in Hyde Park. They found us a table very quickly even though we hadn’t booked. The waitress was really lovely and attentive and helped us with our choice of food, she was very good a reading the signals of when we needed our glasses refilling, when we were ready to order and took lots of lovely photos for us. We all struggled to choose as the menu was amazing and everything sounded delicious, but in the end we all chose the cod risotto and have to say we were not disappointed, it was absolutely fabulous. Clean plates all round. Would not hesitate to recommend such a lovely restaurant in the midst of the madness of Marble Arch.

This was our second visit to the The Italian Greyhound and it was delicious. Food is fresh and authentic Italian, atmosphere is lovely and we ill return!

The good was delicious. We had for appetizers: burrata and focaccia, for mains: sea bream, gnocchi, ravioli, and pizza for dessert: the cheesecake and the bombolini. Everyone was very happy with their meals. I had the sea bream and tried to everything else, except for the pizza and the bombolini. All the food had great and interesting tastes

We found this restaurant through Tripadvisor and it didn’t fail to deliver. Food was outstanding as was the host who looked after us. Thanks for a wonderful night.

This is the second time I've been here and it was fantastic once again! The food was outstanding. I had Cacio de Pepe which we beautiful, my friends were very happy with the Gnocchi and my partner thoroughly enjoyed the sea breem - which was seasoned to perfection. The drinks were also great, the decor wonderful and the staff very attentive and caring. 100% recommend. See you again soon!

As an Italian this place is 10 out of 10!! Highly recommend. Food is great and fresh and the atmosphere is nice and romantic.

Was looking forward to visiting but was let down by experience overall. Lacklustre welcome. Table for 2 in middle of restaurant with manic servers brushing past constantly. Didn’t feel genuinely Italian. Starters were ok but risotto was so bland it was tasteless. Would not return. I’m sick of paying hard earned money on ovrepriced average food.

We hosted our wedding reception here at the Italian greyhound, we had a total of 49 guests including me and my new husband. We booked this only 8/9 weeks ahead as it was a last minute decision to tie the knot, however Serena the events planner was amazing from start to finish. We visited the restaurant in December to have a look round and have lunch and we met Serena then, instantly forming a connection, we booked the date and from there we had great communication via email right up until the day. We got married at the old Marylebone town hall and then jumped onto a red double decker bus for the short journey to the greyhound; we arrived earlier than expected but this was not a problem as everything was set up perfectly, welcome drinks ready and waiting. We opted for a 5 course menu and all of the guests loved the food, we did too. The staff on the day were great and so helpful. All tables were decorated according to my written instructions which I had dropped off the day before along with the cake too. The florist was able to get in on the morning around 11 to do the table flowers which also looked wonderful. A lovely day had by all, food, drinks, staff, decorations, all great. Thank you so much Serena and the staff that worked on our special day. We will be back to see you soon.

NEVER, NEVER AGAIN !!! First time in life a ate pizza/paper ! I order pizza with mushrooms and black truffle. The truffles not fresh and slices as paper cigarette were in oil for months certainly but worse is to eat pizza and paper ! Between the wood dish and pizza a paper white and blue , for what ..? I don't know..... so each time i cut my pizza i ate paper white a and blue. I ask to change knife 2 times cause doesn't cut the pizza! Pasta taste chewy and not crispy at all. Expensive and not good, very disapointed.

Had an early dinner on a Friday. Quite simple but warm. Bit disappointed with the menu. Not an amazing choice. It’s Italianish I guess but to be fair the buratta starter was really good. Mains were quite disappointing all round. Service was friendly and ok, ambience ok, prices ok. Think that’s the thing, it was all just ok. You would however have more chance of seeing a greyhound than an Italian in here.

This is our second time at The Italian Greyhound. Unfortunately the second visit was a pale shadow of our first (5star and great) experience. It was a Sunday evening and the place was quiet so the chef and staff had no excuses for the lukewarm food we were served. Was the chef was more focused on clearing his kitchen than ensuring the plate was warm and the food hot? Whatever the reason, there’s never an excuse for serving lukewarm Pasta! And on top of that, the prices have gone up steeply since our last visit 18 months ago. Premium prices for mediocre food is a recipe for business disaster. We stay nearby quite often but will never dine here again.

I visited TIG with my company for an event of 52 people and the events manager could not do enough to accommodate us. In my group we have allergies, last minute changes and chose the 3-course menu and everyone was raving about the food afterwards over drinks at their bar downstairs. We thoroughly enjoyed last night - a real gem of a venue with great food and even better wait and bar staff! Thank you so much 😊

We ordered two appetizers, focaccia and tiger prawns and for mains the crab linguine. We also drank some coctails and wine. I'd say that the food overall was good, not superb, but worth trying. The atmosphere was nice and suitable for a date night. The portion sizes were quite large, so be mindful of that when ordering! We were very full after our meal. The staff was friendly.

We really enjoyed this busy innovative Italian not far from Marble Arch. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous so be careful not to over order as I did. I recommend the crab linguine. They have a great selection of cocktails too.

Fabulous wedding party. Great private room, and every mouthful of the canapés then the meal was delicious. Highly recommend

Helen was brilliant, she marked the difference between all your staff. She really cared about the service while the rest of the staff that attended us was really rude. She is a good asset for The Italian Greg Hunt

What a lovely meal and service we had all night, all thanks to your lovely waitress Helen! Helen was attentive and top class! We were all sad thinking she had left for the night before she appeared to take our final order ❤️

Väldigt god mat. Trevlig inredning. Vänliga kypare. Klen vinlista, men det man beställde var gott. En riktigt bra italiensk restaurang!

Great convergence of timing, talent and tastes. Floor manager JP seated us promptly at a four top disguised as a six top. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the culinary combined with the convivial. Our server Helen was the epitome of friendliness. The pizza was deemed outstanding by a good friend who has global pizza expertise. Overall a dynamic and delicious experience. A++

Took business clients to dinner recently. A great time was had by all. The food was amazing which was only topped by the service and hospitality. Josh did a tremendous job at making us feel extremely welcome. Will be sure to visit again as will my clients.

Perfecte avond gehad met het gezin. Zelfs de hond was mee in het restaurant. De service heel goed! Het eten was heel lekker.

We visited the Greyhound on our recent trip to London. We had a wonderful experience with great food and cocktails. Big shout out to their friendly server at the bar, Josh. He was so helpful, giving us tips on the local area and was so genuine and thoughtful. Thanks again for a great evening! We’ll stop by again ☺️

We went to The Italian Greyhound for a mid-week lunch and were made to feel instantly at home by a great welcome. The atmosphere was lively and the service was flawless and cheery from start to finish. The food was also fantastic, with excellent presentation and portion sizes. Well done all around to The Italian Greyhound Team!

The food was amazing, cozy place and super nice service! It was very easy going in there and you could really enjoy the atmosphere :) The server was kind enough to help us call taxi.

What a great find! Impressive service and outstanding food. The best Italian we have had for a long time. We will be back!

Arrived with friends for a casual mid-week lunch. Really excellent! The restaurant is bright and airy and the staff both really attentive and helpful. All our food choices were delicious and fresh. Location wise it's super easy to get to. Recommend and will definitely return!

We chose The Italian Greyhound for our wedding reception after our ceremony at the town hall. It took months of searching for a suitable restaurant that could cater to all our needs for children etc. The service we received from point of enquiry, to booking...

We gathered as a family for my partners 70th birthday. Zak and the whole team were truly amazing. They found a quieter table for my granddaughter who is autistic. We had a small child( colouring pencils were provided) and a gluten free request. We all...

Found this place as a last minute option but would defo go back again Service great, food excellent and nice atmosphere as well

The food was good and we really appreciate the staff and interior. There was a very nice scented hand sanitizer on arrival a well as life smelling soaps in the loo. No queues and well attentive staff. Will come again. I had the ox cheek...

Service was efficient but not friendly. Starters were excellent - we had focaccia, burrata, tiger prawns & chickpea fritters. All good portions and very tasty. Mains were something of a let down, chicken Milanese (chicken in breadcrumbs) and veal Bolognese were enjoyed but pizza had...

Amazing Italian food in a prime location. Great selection of both food and wine with such a nice ambiance.

Such a great venue, great energy and vibe, and the food was fantastic! Great value for money too. A Must Visit!

At first the waiter was really attentive and then once he’d taken our order he disappeared and we were then ignored. We wanted desert and coffee but as we couldn’t find anyone to take our order we decided to leave. When we asked for the...

I have visited this restaurant before which is situated near Marble Arch . The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly . The food was fantastic , I had the best ravioli ever . Prices are what you expect for London and for four of us...

Excellent service, great food and a relaxed atmosphere made this highly enjoyable for lunch. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. Attentive without being over bearing and very professional. The food and wine selection and quality were excellent. Thank you for a very enjoyable visit

We booked the beautiful garden room with the bar for our group of 32 (post wedding) and could not have had a better experience. Food was DELICIOUS and staff (Frankie, Mitch & Patrick) were fantastic. Ideal atmosphere for our party and we enjoyed a bit...

The food was good and ambience nice. Helen provided excellent service and was particularly sweet with our 15 month old toddler.

We hired the private dining room for our wedding reception and party following our wedding at Marylebone Town Hall and the day could not have gone better. We have been in regular communication with Frankie (the events manager at IGH) since January when we made...

I have been dining at The Italian Greyhound with my friends on a regular basis and it has never been a disappointment. Food tastes very typical and the combination of ingredients it is always so accurate and spot on. Really feel like to raccomande the...

The ambience and food is OK but it’s not an Italian restaurant. We can tolerate the usual food pairings only foreigners like, such as serving focaccia with olive oil to dip (nobody does it in Italy), or burrata with hazelnuts (why oh why). But …...

We chose this restaurant for our first night in London due to its proximity to our hotel, and it did not disappoint. The laid-back, yet refined decor and superb service (including when I accidentally knocked over my glass of wine, breaking the glass, and they...

The food here is very good. We had crab linguine, pizza, chicken Milanese etc. Service also good. Taken one point off for two reasons: the cancellation policy of £20pp I believe is a bit over the top. And sides a bit expensive considering most dishes...

Service and food at its best. We visited with our 3 dogs and were made to feel so welcome. marcin and his team were exceptional . The food was delicious and wine very well priced. Thank you!

Great atmosphere and service but gluten free pasta option was poor. Ragu pasta dish was like mush and over cooked. Very disappointing. Went with someone new so didn’t want to make a fuss by sending back. Could do better if you advertise you do gluten...

Delicious and creative italian dishes. Salads. raviolis and pasta with crab were delicious. Good wine selection. Very comfortable dining room. Accomodated us without reservation first dinner and made reservation for other night. Short walk from Sumner Hotel

Still very good since I last visited 3 years ago. This time I had the Chicken Milanese which was cooked just right. Will definitely come again.

This restaurant was close to our hotel and we had here dinner twice with friends. Great choice of Italian dishes, including vegetarians, fast nice helpful staff, modern decore and happy atmosphere. On our second visit we descovered that the restaurant have a basment floor for...

Went for an early dinner. Nice dining room in a modern style, efficient but unhurried service. Good value food (for London) ; particularly delicious burrata. Would derinitely return.

...you get them to turn off the background music. That helped a lot. The food was served family style, and most of it was good. Opinions varied from dish to dish. Portions were perhaps a bit skimpy, but I managed to have enough to eat.

We visited on a Wednesday evening for dinner as a group of friends. The food was delicious and the wine and cocktails really good too. The staff are v friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

We had a fabulous family dinner here. Food was delicious, service was polite & efficient and the general ambiance in the restaurant was very buzzy, warm and welcoming. Crab linguine was a particular hit. Cocktails were fab and the wine was well priced. Will return...

We ordered the arancini to start, which was delicious, then a pizza and ragu both were fabulous for the price. On the drinks menus is a good range of low-alcohol beers and cocktails! We will be returning soon!

We had the opportunity to dine at the Italian greyhound during a visit to london. The restaurant is conveniently located near marble arch. The restaurant had a nice ambience. The menu boost many delicious Italian favourites. Service was good and prompt. Definitely worth checking out

Our company organised our Christmas gathering here recently. All the dishes were pre-ordered for us, comprised of a nice balance of shared plates. Most were good (not outstanding), but my stand out favourites were the arancini and foccacia bread. The restaurant's ambience was spacey, chic...

We went for a late lunch. the Gin and Tonics at £12.50 arrived in large wine glasses with an olive and rosemary; both a strange choice for the drink…….. We had some ‘sharing’ starters, they were very mean, not for sharing and completely underwhelming; transparent...

I was surprised… it looked great online, but you never know. The food was good. The service was also good! We had a nice evening.

Enjoyed the place: Food was very good and so the selction of wines. Great spot for genuine Italian food. Cannot recommend it enough.

Back home after a not memorable dinning experience at The Italian Greyhound. Portions were small, overpriced for what you got and the worst was the so called 'Gelato' (which it wasn't) ice cream which was inedible, so was not eaten and was sent back. Very...

Friday lunch. Excellently cooked salmon and hake. Manager double checked that we were happy to have the salmon cooked pink. Both plates were perfectly cooked and well flavoured. No need really for sides (we only ordered one). Polite and attentive service.

We held our wedding reception for 50 guests in the garden room. The Space. The room is bright, modern, and cool. We added bud vases and candles to the table, one large urn, and a couple of small vases dotted around and this was more...

What really made our dinner an experience, rather than just a meal, was the quality of food and mostly, the waiters - Osko and Marcin. The food was extremely tasty. Great selection of cocktails and wine. I would highly recommend this place for a quality...

Had excellent dinner. Tamara waitress from Crotia superb service awesome Italian food superb ambiance! Hvala! Will be back again Baie Dankie

Amazing food! Super delicious, efficient and super friendly service. Thank you to the team for a fantastic birthday dinner.

Bit of a disappointing lunch after 3 years of waiting for a reunion post covid. Worst of all we were told that one of the desserts was ok for a dairy intolerance but our friend was ill on the way home. The menu has no...

Fantastic food and service. Great neighborhood. The perfect casual dinner spot. Dinner is only the dinner order. No bread included and you must order. Still, well done!

We were surprised to find this excellent italian restaurant as we were passing by. We endes up with a tree course dinner. Very good food and the venue has a modern design. Recommended

My husband and I found this little gem when searching for a late lunch. We shared the burrata, my husband had chicken Milanese with rosemary potatoes, followed by tiramisu and I had pappardelle ragu, followed by chocolate cake. All the food was delicious and the...

I held my wedding lunch in The Garden Room. The food was excellent, my guests thoroughly enjoyed the feasting / sharing concept. The Ravioli with black truffle was the culinary star of the day. The room was perfect for 20 guests, light and airy. Lastly...

What a lovely venue for a Summer Saturday Supper. We had an outdoor table on the small terrace. Service was great. We shared the burrata and arancini starters. I would recommend both. I had the salmon with capers and peas which was zingy and fresh....

I had dinner at this restaurant with my wife in June 2022. We were staying in close to Edgeware Rd and wanted a place close buy and not formal, the restaurant good reviews and we like Italian food and decided to try it out. As...

Be aware that this reduction is off a limited menu not off all drinks. Living locally I think board outside is misleading as on ordering a Crate beer was not told it was not included, this was charged full price, Not the money but the...

The food was excellent and the staff were magnificently attentive despite it being a busy evening. The portions were small but perfect - from the salad to the dessert - quality and taste over volume.

Had dinner with colleagues. Was recommended the restaurant by neighbours whilst I live in the area. Food was good, wine was ok, service was ok. Would return again for straight forward dinner with business in mind.

We were staying just around the corner from this super Italian restaurant, which was popular with the local professional business community. One of us had a zingy n'djua pizza and the other a crab linguine, food envy ensued! Both were freshly cooked perfectly and accompanied...

It was a big birthday celebration and so my wife and I were in London for a show. We also wanted a nice meal and based on reviews thought the Greyhound would suit us as it was very close to our hotel. We were made...

We arrived on spec at about seven and the team welcomed us and found us a table; actually near the door but tucked away and cosy in a sort of corner alcove. The food was heavenly. Portion sizes just right; pasta beautifully al-dente; tastes, colours...

We came upon this restaurant by chance on the way back to the hotel whilst on a visit to London. Simple menu. Very good food, pastas and pizza all excellent; pasta portions could have been a little bigger. Staff first class, helpful and engaging. Would...

I went on Sunday with my Husband and they served Sunday menu. I ordered Spicy Nduja Pizza, Crab Linguine, and Beef roast, Tap Cider and Caffè macchiato. I love how flavorful Spicy Nduja Pizza with broccoli in it. If you love Seafood, Crab Linguine was...

Very Good & Authentic Italian having Italian friends who cook for us when we visit the bench mark is high, have read a couple of negative comments and my feeling is they may not have been in the same place? We visit every time we...

This restaurant is worth a visit. It has a very imaginative menu and incredibly good quality of product. All very seasonal and fresh with a heavy emphasis on fish. It is Italian with a wonderful twist. For example, fabulous pizza with potatoes, thyme and wild...

Service poor waited a long time for food. When it arrived it was lukewarm. Pasta over cooked. For a limited menu, attention to detail was not good. The place looks good but for us that is where it ends.

The menu is a little deceptive in that the pasta dishes listed are the starter price, to make it a main it is an additional £5, so essentially we ended up paying £20 for a place of pesto pasta. Disappointing and quite basic for the...

Delicious meal, my only criticism was the frequency with which staff kept wanting to top up our wine. Much better to leave you to pour as and when you are ready, but other than that a very pleasant evening with great food.

I visited this beautiful place with my family and the food was absolutely amazing. Starting with delicious pizzette ( best prosciutto in London ) and following by Pappardelle Pasta with slow-cooked beef and more… Also all staff members was so welcoming that I definitely want...

On a recommendation, we booked lunch at the IG for us and some friends and boy were we glad we did. Wonderfully tasty food, fabulous service and just a beautifully relaxed vibe. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

What a great addition to the London food scene. A relaxed Italian restaurant serving delicious imaginative food and cocktails. Excellent service by our waiter with different coloured eyes! We shall DEFINITELY go back.

We popped in on the off chance after walking past a few times during our trip. The staff could not have been more accommodating or friendly. They were all very attentive. Food was gorgeous and fresh. Enjoyed a nice bottle of malbec. They even made...

Our first visit to the “Italian Greyhound,” and I hope it won’t be our last. The food is seasonal, fresh and delicious. Three courses, a taste sensation. Outstanding service and value for money. Compliments to the chef. Thank you so... much for a lovely evening.

Great place very charming decoration Menu is just so tasty food was amazing (would have loved a bigger portion size for my ravioli it was exquisite) we loved every dish and the staff is just fab: really care for customers and they are very friendly....

First meal at this establishment. Really nice, friendly and busy. Food was exceptional, especially the pasta and desserts. Our waiter was new, gluten free was a challenge, but the lack of understanding did not detract from a great meal. We will be back.

I've tried this restsaurant over the last 3-4 years, when it was Bernardi's. It started good, then became a bit hit-or-miss and last Saturday the food was just plain awful. I gather their previous chef has left (who was no big deal). I don't know...

Fresh authentic Italian food pasta amazing Pizza as good as we have tasted in a long time c/w friendly staff, do not miss this place highly recommended

Our events club for single professionals had a wonderful night at Italian Grey Hound. The transformed Bernardi’s was the perfect setting for our singles to mingle. It’s spacious garden room and restaurant refreshed with subtle hues; think Farrow & Ball and stripy awnings with plenty...

Very smart casual dining restaurant. Lovely to see a short menu as you know every single dish is going to be good. Food and Wine was excellent. The restaurant is very well run and the service from every member of staff that we had contact...
