The Wine Place Covent Garden in City of London, Westminster

Pizza was bad, lasagne was good. so so

Today I had a lunch in the wine place, such amazing place food, music, service. I'm working in hospitality for almost 10 years, is really rare find a place with good attitude, smiles and good service. I'm really enjoyed my time. You guys made my day today. I' m not used to write a review but you deserve it. Thank you.

Pedimos una lasagna que estaba "pasable" y unos gnocchi horribles. Parecían recalentados. Literalmente incomibles. En pleno Market de Covent Garden. Mesa pequeña e incómoda. No tienen baños propios sino que son los del patio de comidas que a las 21 hs ya estaban cerrados.

Best place for a moment of calm and good music!

We had some drinks to rest for a while in a place that is in an enviable setting, they seated us quickly and seated us and served quickly as well, but I asked for water twice and they didn't bring it, and the bill took 25 minutes to bring, we had it to ask 3 times...

Por mucho la peor comida de nuestro descanso en Londres , comida terrible seca y sabe menos y muy sobreprecio por la cantidad que recibimos, por favor evite si es posible

Clean, stocked, friendly staff.

Good wine selection, but staff is rude. Plus the woman auto tipped herself 25% on my card without asking us, which is fraud. Edit: Given management's response below, where they weren't even apologetic and effectively called me a liar, I'm downgrading to one star. Good wine, but if you're going to come here, bring cash so they don't commit fraud.

Cute cozy place to go with friends or on a date. Loved the different wines and yummy Italian bites. Favorites were the prosecco and aubergine lasagna.

Great wine, delicious small bites! Really enjoyed the selection of white, red, and sparkling wine that they provided.

Elegimos visitar basado en otras críticas. Sin embargo, debemos haber elegido un mal día. Estaba claro que no lo estaban sobrellevando y el caballero parecía abrumado. Esperamos unos minutos mientras se iba una gran fiesta, con la esperanza de que las cosas se calmaran y él viniera a ofrecernos una mesa adecuada, pero al final estaba claro que no quería nuestro negocio, así que nos fuimos.

Melhor lasanha que comi na minha vida! Cheff brasileiro muito atencioso como todos no restaurante, recomendo demais!

Right in the centre of Covent Garden. Lovely staff, great wine list and nice, intimate atmosphere inside!

The Wine Place was an excellent pre-theater spot to enjoy drinks, dinner, and live entertainment! They offer a lovely selection of Italian treats including tasty Bellini's, a fabulous mortadella/burrata pizza, and yummy gnocchi. We were able to watch the live performances in the square while enjoying our meal/drinks. Plus, the service was friendly! If you're looking for a causal and delicious experience, The Wine Place is an excellent choice.

We enjoyed a fabulous bottle of red!

A nice little restaurant in Covent Garden..

I was always like to plan ahead so took to trip advisor to find for somewhere for pre theatre nibbles and drinks in Covent Garden. This place is ideal the staff are really nice and the quality of the food & drinks were perfect definitely be back again. Just like other reviewers have mentioned we were entertained by the buskers who were fabulous.

We sat in the courtyard, inside the market, with a live opera singer entertaining us all. It was wonderful. Wine is a little pricey but acceptable given you're literally in the heart of covent garden. I especially like the fact we could hear each other talking - many bars in the area are just too loud and you end up shouting at each other. Not here.

What an amazing experience. We enjoyed our supper and the wine was lovely.

We went there for the second time, everything was amazing, service outstanding and the food amazing. The tiramisu was 🤌🏻, and collections of wine were so good. We look forward visiting next year! Thank you Marlène for taking such good care of us💕 Regards María and Eyrún from Iceland

If I could give 10 stars for service I would. Bruno was fantastic and made our birthday girl feel so special. Aperol Spritzes were quality and the Parmesan lollipops were wild. Great atmosphere with the live music too!

Extremely steep price for some supermarket-level meats and cheeses. They were also very dry, possibly opened from their package the day before… But it’s probably what you normally get in this location.

Small place...but with great goodness in the dishes...few but excellent! The wines ... here too Great choice in the cellar! Prices in line with London! Then the legendary Raffaele & Company complete the adventure from "The Wine Place"....(Gaeteno...Gaeta'...Gaeta'...Gaeta'..)

Excellent service. My friend and I were the last ones there, yet the staff were not trying to kick us out. The service was amazing from beginning to end. Aman let me try two wines when I wasn't sure which one to choose. When the toilet across the restaurant was closed, he asked the next door restaurant if the guests could use theirs, as it was the end of the night. He went above and beyond and it was greatly appreciated! We only had drinks, so can't comment on the food, but if you are looking for a friendly place with great service, I recommend this place.

Stopped for a glass of wine and pizza on a Friday afternoon. Entertained by a troop of musicians belting out some great classical music.

Very helpful staff. In the active there are very often busker concerts and a very pleasant situation is often created in one of the iconic places of London. The steak wasn't very popular so I don't recommend it

Great for a pre theatre meal and drink. The performers in the arena where the restaurant is added to the atmosphere and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Lovely location with option to sit inside or outside. Food was fresh and delicious, staff were friendly and good at making recommendations!

Great food, fantastic wine, beautiful location.

We try to visit this place as much as possible when I’m down in London for a few days. Myself and my daughter sit on a little table outside and listen to the buskers, drink superb Italian wine and eat an array of delicious delicacies. The staff are always lovely but yesterday Amman made the experience even more wonderful with his five star service, the kind I have only found normally at Michelin level. All the details taken care of, pre-empting if we needed something, and serving us in a friendly but very professional manner. We had the perfect afternoon, thank you.

Dudi was tremendous in how cheers looked after us. He's a star.

What a gem! Very welcoming and the food and wine were as good as I had hoped. We’ll be back!

It is a really cozy place with a large Italien wine selection and very tasty Food! If you want to have a nice relaxt time you have to come here! Staff is sooooo lovely and helpful at any time!

A little gem in Covent Garden. Excellent wine list ( of course!) and unpretentious but good food. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic cosy vibe - great customer service

Tiny place in the lower square in Covent Garden, mostly inside with one table outside, we had the outside table which added to the atmosphere of the singers in the square! Food was tasty, lasagna, pasta and a pizza! Not huge portions!

Interesting place to grab a wine in the madness of Covent Garden

We opted for a gratinated Bolognese lasagna and a dish of aubergines gratinated in a tomato sauce. Simply delicious! The restaurant is small, intimate and has an extensive wine selection. Really a favorite!

Wonderful wine selection and a nice Covent garden vibe.

What a delightful experience! Atmosphere, service and food were excellent. The restaurant is on the lower level of Covent Garden. We had a reservation, and were given a choice of tables inside. The owner/manager chatted with us amiably. The two of us ordered a bottle of wine, the insalata legumies (spelling?) and the Parmigiana de Melanzane to share. All terrific. We found the live music from the courtyard to be delightful, too. We felt like we were dining in a wine cave.

the staff is lovely and welcoming and the food/wine excellent too! The space is cozy and looks like wine cellar. Will visit again.

My favourite in Covent garden, great wines, lovely cheeseboard and fantastic music with the different acts entertaining crowds.

the vibes are great around Christmas, Service is excellent, friendly and with a smile. Beautiful wine, delicious food and very entertaining viewing the Covent Garden this time of the year

An absolute treat to find a place like this not just in central London but in one of the busiest tourist attractions in the city. The atmosphere is relaxed but not dull and the service was first rate. The food relatively simple but in no way boring and the number of veggie options was a refreshing change for the wife. The manager also paired a perfect wine with our meal. I'd got my booking times wrong so we were 15 minutes late, which had triggered a perfectly reasonable and polite call from the manager, but my apology was accepted in good grace and didn't in any way affect the service and interaction. With the exception for a few minutes of a performing opera singer right outside the window, which could shatter glass, the evening was exceptional. Very much recommended.

52£ pour un bœuf Bourguignon et une boisson pour deux personnes. Le plat arrivé en même pas deux minutes : il était froid des patates écrasé n'importe comment. 🤢🤮

Great place to stop for a bite to eat and a nice glass of wine. During the day you can listen to the buskers and on a night you can sit and enjoy the ambience

Such a lovely and cosy place in the midst of the busyness of London. The staff was lovely and the food was authentically Italian 🇮🇹. The tiramisu was not the best and not sweet enough. The only drawback is you can’t smoke easily. They could have benefited from some techno music 🎶.

Family lunch. The waiters are very kind. It is a small restaurant inside Covent Garden Market. The food is very good and you can taste a very Italian plates. Highly recommended

When you find it, go visit!! We kept coming back to enjoy the live music from SUPERB Street performers while tasting the flavors of Italian wines and great food! The owners hospitality was amazing and very welcoming, he knows all the Street performers by heart. It was a joy to visit here! Definitely Recommend!

Our party of three were looking for a pit stop for a snack en route to the Novello Theatre, and stumbled upon this place on the lower tier of Covent Garden. Great ham and cheese focaccia washed down with a fantastic rose'. Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff, made for a great lunch whilst we listened to a street opera singer. Highly recommend this place.

Great service, delicious food and wine.

Really nice place, excellent food and wine.we had lasagne..Great service..really friendly..we will come back again

Great place, excellent food and great service. Try the pizza was delicious. We asked for a Wine recomendation and they gave us the best one, we loved it.

This place utterly sucks. The most pure definition of style over substance. An adorable, cozy location in Covent Garden. Looked romantic with the firefly lights. Less romantic with the obnoxious, drunk, boorish couple who seemed to be friends of the owner loudly bellowing over the other guests. Meal starts out with a dirty fork. Wine is…mediocre at best for a place with “wine” in its name. Main course comes and one of the orders is wrong. We politely agree to eat the incorrect entree. The gnocchi tasted boxed, the sauce bland and…well, hope it came from a jar bc if it were homemade, I’d suggest the chef quit today. The very small portion of lasagna lacked flavor, and oddly sat in oil in a cast iron dish rather than sauce. The server apologized for the incorrect entree and said “we’ll see what we can do about this.” Apparently the answer to that was “absolutely nothing.” He brought our bill, read thru it one by line and asked if it looked correct. It included the entree we never ordered. If you want an overpriced, bland, forgettable meal that is good solely for instagram, definitely come here. If you want a substantive, delicious meal and customer service to match, go elsewhere.

Vini da tutto il mondo abbinati a piatti di salumi e formaggi Servizio perfetto

Excellent wine as you would expect but the food was delicious for us. It is situated in an super location where you can enjoy in peace or with the live music performancing outside. One of our favourite places in Covent Garden. Staff are always beens helpful and welcoming, especially when needing help to choose a good wine to try. I am sure we will return again and again.

Very nice place in Covent Garden, not touristic. Large choice of wines and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Excellent! The waitress was super pleasant, the food is excellent, the service rapid ... perfect I recommend 100%.

Incroyable vraiment. Je recommande vivement ❤️

Très bon restaurant. Atypique. Les plats étaient très bons et le service au top. Nous reviendrons lors de notre prochain séjour. Merci pour ce bon moment

This is one of our favourite place every time we come up central London. You can have great selection wines/Rodier Champagne with reasonable price & yummy pizzas. The service is great, super friendly team. Specially Jack the manager. It always busy in this location but lovely crowds people. Thank you guys for always look after us!

Had lunch here. Nice to sit and watch the entertainment and hours on. Nice selection of wines. Disappointed in the food. Gnocchi was chewy and overcooked. The Pinsa romana very average.

The manager was extremely rude. Booked a table but when turned up 15 mins early there was no evidence of a table reserved and when asked if there was a table free was told bluntly no. Asked if could wait for a table and use the toilet was directed to a toilet that we then had to pay 1.50 to use! Needless to say we left and went elsewhere where we were given a table without a reservation and treated far better. I would definitely avoid this place and go elsewhere.

Lovely to sit outside and watch the live variety of performers, however, it was very busy so I sat inside. It was a little warm but can imagine it being very cozy in winter. I had a Caprese salad, with focaccia, the salad was good...

The place is very cosy and the service is outstanding. The best place in London for a wine with your partner or friends. Looking forward to go back.

The place was just perfect for gathering with my friends. The service was attentive, shout out to Simone and her staff, really helped us and recommend the best wine and food to match.

I’ve been there a few times and I absolutely love it! The place is really cosy, with amazing wine selection and food (try the pizzas!) and service is always great. I totally recommend it.

A great place for a drink, pizza or pasta plus great entertainment

First impression was bad. The table we got was sticky. Very unpleasant. We changed the table. Second impression - much "better": we asked for every little thing: spoon for soop, spoon to mix a salad etc. The salad, made from bad tomatoes they promised to change, but... forgotten... Even for a check we waited more than 30 minutes. Bottom line In short: never again.

My wife and I had a wonderful farewell to London dinner. Made a reservation and we’re seated at a small table with some exposure to the surrounding marketplace. A bit hectic at first but calmed down and then during dinner a String quintet began playing...

I loved this place, really cute and cozy and the food was amazing! I'll definitely go back!

What a wonderful dinner at this great little tapas restaurant in Covent Garden. The manager looked after us from start to finish, was welcoming, warm and funny. Service is everything and he and his team are first-class! Would highly recommend this restaurant for a relaxed...

Our meals were rather disappointing.Perfectly serviceable but unmemorable. The Parma ham was poor and the breads were dry. But the staff were delightful and the service excellent. And the wines were very good.

Good food, excelent service, would come back regularly ❤️❤️

I went to have lunch with my friends, food and wine was good, tasty and fresh. Really enjoyed the experience, would come back again!!

Dopo un po' di giorni a Londra e dopo aver bevuto praticamente solo birra, avevamo bisogno di un buon bicchiere di vino accompagnato, come si usa fare, da un buon tagliere in un posticino curato e accogliete: esattamente ciò che troverete qui! Il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile, il locale tenuto molto bene e la selezione di vini canta etichette ottime. Noi abbiamo deciso di proseguire anche per cena ed abbiamo provato le insalate, i prodotti sono davvero freschi e gustosi! Lo raccomando vivamente soprattutto se volete prendervi una buona pausa in una cornice come quella di covent garden

Amazing service. Would recommend !!

One of the tastiest pizzas we’ve ever had Service was fantastic Quite a humid day and they moved us outside when a table became available 🤩

Okay place to stop at when visiting covent garden.

We booked lunch for after an early matinee show. The lady at the restaurant reception was very welcoming which is always a great start. Our waiter was brilliant. From the moment he arrived at our table with a jug of iced water (I love restaurants...

I cant praise this place enough but it was the staff that stood out. From the moment we were welcomed in we were attended to with amazing hospitality. The server and the manager made us feel welcomed, like old friends, and we were asked if...

My waiter was Amann & he was amazing! Super helpful with recommendations and helping us choose what to order. He was so kind and I want to be his friend. I’ve been here before and it was fine but it was amazing with Amann. If...

amann SLAYSSSSS! great waiter 10/10 would recommend give him employee of the month!

Amann is the best waiter ever! Was super cool, friendly, and attentive! He deserves to be employee of the year! The place was also delicious and had amazing wine <3

Te kleine porties voor de dure prijs, de lasagne was heel klein en uit een plastiek pakje, er zat nog was verpakking in mijn eten. De bediening was snel maar de muziek was veel te luid. Het water dat we kregen was gelukkig gratis.

They don’t know how to help a costumer. Asked for a table and they couldn’t even tell me who was the right person to ask for it. The manager was extremely rude. I would never recommend it.

Top quality gnocchi with pesto, which paired excellently with even the cheapest rosé. Brilliant olives to start this too, and the sour dough was none too shabby. You are in a crowded place here, but it’s all part of the central London experience. I can’t...

The ambiance was nice. The food and service was also great! The food was not overpriced and the drink selection was great.

Must go to!!! Such a fantastic wine bar. Outside a great terrace and inside a cosy little wine cellar.. great hospitality, got to try all the wines we were interested in and had great bites with our lovely wines. Such sweet and caring staff. The...

My husband and I were really looking forward to an early evening meal here whilst we were staying in London, having seen the reasonably priced menu and excellent reviews on line. The environment and staff didn't disappoint, but having been shown to a table we...

Great wine bar in the heart of Covent Garden. Lovely food and excellent Italian wine. Friendly fast staff. Couldn’t fault it. Perfect sunny afternoon.

Covent Garden is always a favourite haunt on a trip to London, so for my birthday we booked The Wine Place for lunch and what a great decision that was. We were given a table in the location we’d asked for, within good view of...

Amazing experience food is exceptional ❤️

We have been there eating on Saturday night, we really enjoyed the place and the food. Thank you very much to Marlene that was very kind with us, understanding our “trouble” and also offering us a great Italian coffee!

This is one of many small places right in Covent Garden (on the lower level). One advantage of its location is that it is adjacent to the busking performers area, and the performers at Covent Garden are very good. So there is pretty much always...

The Wine Place was phenomenal. Our server, Amman, we personable, warm, and highly attentive. The food was SUPER fresh. Best lasagna I’ve had. And of course the wine was great! It’s a cute and intimate venue. Recommend to all!

Having often looked down onto this restaurant from street level in Covent Garden... we decided to reserve a table and go for dinner. We were seated inside which was great, the food was tasty and well presented, we shared a lovely bottle of rose wine,...

Loved the flat bread pizza, the service & the entertainment in the courtyard

Lovely night out with lovely servers, delicious tiramisu and aperol 👍 the tiramisu was gifted to us for our dads 50th, very kind of them

What a wonderful place! We went there for my husband birthday, I left a note to put a candle on the desert when booking through open table and so they did. They were wonderful and the food was delicious too. Highly recommended!
