Wildwood in City of London, Westminster

Fab, great food and service, our waiter Samir was fab

I just had an amazing meal! The vegan lasagne was honestly one of the best I've ever tasted, plus the rosemary garlic bread was a perfect start. Everything was spot on – the atmosphere was lovely, the place was super clean, and the service was friendly and attentive. I even enjoyed a delicious Cookies & Cream Cheesecake, which was a highlight, although I wouldn't have complained about a slightly larger portion! Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that I can't wait to repeat.

Visited on a Saturday night pre theatre with my daughter and husband. Kids menu - what a bargain for London 2 courses and a drink for less than £8, daughter (8) enjoyed her spaghetti and took her ice lolly out with her. Husband ordered from the half pasta half salad option, spaghetti carbonara, it had absolutely zero taste, however the salad was fresh and dressing tasty. I ordered a pasta arrabiata which was more garlic than it was pasta, large chunks of raw garlic beyond anything you would imagine was the only heat added. Very disappointing for an Italian.

I booked Wildwood for a family meal our kids before the theatre. I called to explain we were running late & the restaurant were informed. On arrival we were warmly greeted & I asked if we could please be out by 7? Our order was taken before we even sat down & arrived in no time! Our waiter, Tarek, was great with our girls, made a hat from the napkin & did drawings with them. He also checked on us throughout, advised on best wine for my food, & ensured we received the kids dessert & bill quickly. All the food was so tasty & delicious, staff were so helpful! What a great team. Perfect meal before theatre. We’ll definitely be going back!

Perfect place for lunch, always friendly staff & the lunch deal is amazing value - right in the heart of Covent Garden ❤️❤️

Came last week, had a table for 15 people for our Mum’s birthday, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone loved their meals! Our waiter Tarek was attentive in ensuring we had everything we needed - drinks flowing, offered recommendations, and was brilliant with the younger children - bringing colouring and paper hats etc to keep them occupied. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and will certainly be back again for the next family function! 🤩

We Came here to eat lunch before going to the theatre nearby. The food was great as always and service was amazing will be back

Lovely restaurant, great food options the pizza was divine and the spaghetti carbonara was amazing. Good little place to grab food before heading to the threatre or catch up with friends. It was family friendly and the service was outstanding.

Great gluten free celebration meal!

Good food, excellent service easy to book, deal on pudding + coffee. My partner and family enjoyed their time and meal.

Price and quality are not compatible, poor quality

I had an absolutely brilliant meal here! The buttermilk chicken burger was a standout with its tasty presentation, and the chicken piccata Milanese didn't disappoint either. Everything was spot on – the service was friendly, and the whole vibe of the place made for a great night out. Plus, the chocolate brownie was the cherry on top! Can’t wait to come back for seconds!

A great place to eat for a pre-theatre meal, right opposite the Royal Opera House and close to several other theatres. Service quick and efficient which is really important, as well as friendly.

We had such a lovely time at Wildwood Covent Garden’s yesterday. We had just seen Matilda and were turned down for a table for 5 at a number of nearby restaurants. Stumbled across this restaurant who could accommodate us plus a coeliac child! Bonus that the kids from Matilda were sat right next to us! They were also fab with the children and couldn’t do enough! Really good value for money and tasty Italian food! Thank you!

If your near covent gardens the give it a go. Reasonable prices and friendly staff! Has 10% service charge auto and ask for tap water but otherwise we'll worth it for the atmosphere and quality of food and drinks!

Awesome meal! Attentive service! Well versed in and careful about allergies! Tarek is a gem!

Great food, service & ambience. Good value for money especially on the lunch menu.

lovely staff, especially Tarek !!!

Encantadora bienvenida, buena comida y Tarek nuestro camarero para el día era muy amable. También era fabuloso con los niños. En general una muy buena experiencia y sin duda volvería de nuevo

Great food, friendly staff, location is perfect and it's good value for money

Great food. I had the risotto. Don’t skip the cookie dough desser

Really delicious food. The service was fine. Its a nice place for a quiet and calm dinner.

Super cozy place. The food is very delicious. Nice service. We found the place by accident and we did well to sit down to eat. Thank you for the experience!

I had an outstanding meal recently that left me completely satisfied. The food was phenomenal, especially the Spaghetti Carbonara and those Sweet Potato Fries – both were spot on in taste and portion size. The service was top-notch; the staff were super friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The whole atmosphere was just right, making for a relaxed evening. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Wonderful restaurant. Service amazing and lovely food

It was great! Enjoyed our time here.

Very disappointing dinner. The food was very poor. The steak was not nice, overcooked and incredibly tough. The chips were unpleasant. Something so simple to get right in a restaurant equipped kitchen. The sticky toffee pudding was a joke – the worst I have ever had, again such an easy crowdpleaser pudding. We were lucky to get in given how busy it was but it wasn’t the lucky find I had hoped for.

I liked it that they welcomed us even with walk in on a busy Saturday night and all the more when a neighbourhood restaurant despite booking couldn’t welcome us and was not at all accommodating since we were early there. Having tried wildwood in chelmsford previously, we preferred to dine here. We were being served by Samir, he was kind & patient & he remembered not to add mushrooms in repeat order of Grilled courgette pizza even though we missed to mention & despite being so very busy. In food, we had ordered Grilled courgette & goats cheese pizza ; vegetable primavera; super food salad ; truffle & cheese fries and focaccia. The food was decent though I would have preferred pizza to be more hot. Repeat order of goats cheese pizza was served hot & that was delicious. Good option to dine in when around covent garden

Tarek was absolutely wonderful and brilliant and really helped us thoroughly and took care of us! would totally recommend to my friends and would definitely come back

I happened upon this wonderful place when looking to take my friend for a birthday lunch, he atmosphere was lovely and relaxed the staff really friendly and helpful and the food was great a real gem in the heart of London. Most highly recommend.

Had a decent meal in here before the theatre. Was expecting a bit of a standard chain experience but actually it was nicer than that, food is good, service was quick, and we found it easy to get a table. Only gripe is the price, we managed to spend £80 between two people despite only one person having a main. I know it’s prime tourist area but, still.

Hassled service from an overworked staff. Food VERY underwhelming. Several starters cold and returned. One starter unavailable despite being pre-ordered and only notified as starters came out despite having arrive on time for booking and waiting for almost an hour to come out. Won’t be returning

My family had a lovely lunch here today and I would happily recommend. Lovely busy atmosphere but it was the service from Tarek that really stood out. He made a great impression, clearly has a passion for great service and it shows.

Just dropped in to here to get some dinner after being turned away by several nearby establishment's for seemingly no reason it was fantastic to be welcomed into a friendly environment, all we wanted was a relaxed dinner and this place delivered, along with the great staff that catered for our every need.. nice cold beer on tap and outstanding pizza, great serving sizes. My wife and I didn't really need the deserts after such a great meal, but we had to try a couple of different ones so we could sample each other's desrets.. and wow, just wow, simple but delicious, it's so good to be able to get food and service like this in this area without paying through the nose, dinner for both of us was cheaper than breakfast and my wife had 2 cocktails and I had a beer.. in fact our drinks were cheaper than our coffee's on this day which we got just down the road, what a gem of a restaurant, and thank you to the staff that made us feel this way I can highly recommend this place..

I ordered a chicken burger, the bread was completely burnt, I showed it to the waiter and they only brought me the top part of the sandwich, the bottom part remained burnt.

Courteous staff, food was excellent. Pizza 🍕 very tasty. Very satisfied and recommended.

Absolutely amazing place! Pizza was unbelievably good! The portion was a good size and the price! Very very cheap for the area you’re in. Definitely recommend. The service was amazing also; shout out to Samir! Will definitely come back for more!

We were just able to arrive at 7:30 PM without a reservation. Pizzas can no longer be ordered. Delicious food and very nice service. Closes at 9:00 PM, which is a bit early. No tip possible when paying by card, a bit strange.

Staff was great and friendly. Food was so-so. Chicken piccante ok, calzone was cold in the middle and there was almost no tomato on the pizza margherita. Honestly felt like the whole thing was taken from the freezer and heated up.

Just perfect to our amazing day in London, we had just been skating and tried this place by chance. We were so pleased to get a table here, it was really busy. The service provided by the fine gentleman serving us was first class, absolutely perfect. Not too much and not too little, he was very much on the ball. The food was just beautiful and so good. There was a lovely vibe in the whole restaurant along with a relaxed playlist. This fine restaurant really made our special day finish off so perfectly. Well worth going to, one to come back again for sure.

Visitado en familia después de que la hija mayor recomendó como ella había estado con un amigo. Antes de escribir esta reseña envié un correo electrónico al restaurante para darles la oportunidad de opinar. Fui el sábado pasado y envié un correo electrónico esa noche, así que tuvieron la oportunidad de responder y no lo han hecho... Llegamos antes de las 6 pm para la reserva de 6 pm. El saludador no era muy amable o feliz en absoluto! ¡No es acogedor! Cuando nos mostraron a nuestra mesa teníamos otra señora muy gruñona. Los 2 servidores jóvenes eran tan agradable, pero lamentablemente tuvimos el más viejo gruñón! ¡Iba tan lejos como para decir que era grosera! Esposa pidió su comida sin el pulpo, que el servidor dijo que estaba bien, pero la comida todavía venía con él más 4 de los mejillones que no podía comer como no abierto. ¡Seguro que esto es pagar por comida que no puede comer! El servidor no sonrió ni una vez. Incluso la oí decir "pesadilla" cuando se alejó de la mesa a nuestro lado. Ella arruinó toda la experiencia. Lástima que pagamos el cargo por servicio, ya que realmente no recibimos un buen servicio en absoluto! Pero estoy seguro de que no se molestaron en absoluto por esta crítica. Así que una pena y una visita tan decepcionante! 😔 En un positivo buenas elecciones de alimentos a base de plantas, por lo tanto dio un 2 en lugar de un 1 !

Reservado y contento de que lo hicimos en un sábado ocupado en diciembre, llegamos y todavía tenía que esperar a nuestra mesa, pero estaba lleno. El menú es de precio razonable y buenas opciones, menú para niños es variado aquellos pizza de mi hijo era pequeña! Las bebidas como la mayoría de los lugares son caras, la comida se servía caliente y era abundante. El personal era amable y atento y no se sintió apresurado incluso aquellos que estaba ocupado y se necesitaban mesas. Gran ubicación y buen ambiente.

Good food and great service. Rebecca provided an exceptional service - thank you!

Arrived at 20.15 for dinner and turned way by the waiter because they had done enough for the day

Pizza wasn’t too bad, quite dry though and the fact they don’t have jalapeños is borderline criminal (can you claim to be good at pizza if you don’t stock jalapeños?). We did notice that the staff were absolutely freezing cold, not a smile in sight. Wednesday from the Addams Family is positively congenial in comparison. Unusual for central London in this day and age. Thankfully there are thousands of better places nearby.

We stopped here last minute on a Friday eavning. We was able to get a table very easy. Even though they were very busy it was not a problem. Its our 1st time here and we were very impressed with the food. Cooked well , taste amazing and Service was very quick , the staff were very lovley. I definitely recommend!!

I loved my traditional bolognese pasta, what a delight, in short if you are in the area GO FOR IT!!

Not even worth a one star. Service sucks, foods are overpriced and the portion is small. Among our big group, only soup was worth it. I returned my fries and they gave this fries with ashes, burned like hell. Water jug looks like IKEA jug. My friend ordered soup and they forgot to give spoon. Overall, the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Please don't visit. Such a waste of money.

Pizza for chumps. Charged around £14 for a moudly tasting base, very lightly brushed tasteless tomato sauce and a stingey amount of bland tasting cheese. To make it worse, charged £1.60 for literally 4 crumb size peppers. Has to go down as the biggest rip of pizza ever. Staff and environment were nice. Maybe pizza is not wild woods thing. Buck up the pizzas!

We had the lunch menus .Very nice food .

We came to eat at 5pm as a group of 3. And the response was shocking, we came celebrating our friends cancer recovery! They stsrted to look for us as we didnt have a reservation. We were looking for a drink and some deserts to continue our evening. And they literally stopped looking and immediately said they were too busy! Too busy , with tables vacant. The way this was said was rude, and there is no way I would ever come back here again. Or recommend anyone else to. We understand it's a Saturday, but that was just plain rude!

I’ve been to this place a few times before, and it never disappoints! The food was top-notch, especially the Seafood Linguine and Chicken & Chorizo Calzone, which were spot on in taste and presentation. The service was fantastic too; the staff were super friendly and checked in on us regularly. My only critique is the Penne Arrabbiata was a bit too spicy for my daughter, but overall, we had a great experience. Definitely coming back for more deliciousness!

The food was delicious.I recommend their vegetarian pizza

We had an awesome meal here. Our server Tarek was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and funny. Our meals were all delicious, the wine Tarek recommended was really good 👍 the atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend this place, make sure you book to avoid disappointment!

A great restaurant with great staff well worth a visit!

Gran comida, gran servicio. El personal era muy servicial y servicial. Me encantó la comida! Lo único levemente negativo es que los baños estaban desaliñados, lo que es decepcionante 😞

Tarek was amazing! Very friendly, very funny and overall an amazing host! Thank you😊

I dropped by this restaurant and it was a good experience all around. The food and drinks were both good, though the garlic bread could have been better if it hadn't been burnt underneath. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we were enjoying our meal without any hassle. The atmosphere was nice,. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Food was delicious and great lunchtime deals

Delicious food and drinks. Very friendly staff and a great place for lunch (or dinner). Not too busy when I visited but there looks to be plenty of seating available even during peak hours. Lovely area too.

Really tasty food, we were able to pay extra to have toppings on our pizza. We felt sorry for the staff, this branch was a lot busier than the Seven Dials branch and there was only 2 people on the floor, one which I think was a manager so was dealing with bills more. Maybe it was just a one off and they normally have more staff but did feel bad for them. Food was hot, tables were clean

Good value, friendly staff, good food. Very enjoyable.

Lovely restaurant and great atmosphere. Friends pizza was tasty and fresh, a large size. My philly sandwich was tiny though. Seemed to get the tail end of the sourdough bread. Not worth the money. I've been to the States and tried the real thing. Wildwood philly sandwich a bit of a let down. However, would go back for a pizza.

We have been to Wildwood Covent Garden before & are always keen to go back whenever we are in London. The location is ideal, the food is great & the staff are always helpful, charming & very attentive. It’s also very good value for money for Central London.

Was amazing! food was delicious, service was so fast and everyone was so lovely! definitely recommend had the best time!!

really lovely atmosphere, lighting, and excellent food and service. thanks!

Absolutely amazing everything tastes perfect, service is great and it's a really nice environment. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Friendly service, good food, fair prices, lovely venue and atmosphere, very quick service. Went on a Friday night, full but not too busy. I had made a reservation 2 hours before just.

Restaurant sympathique avec un accueil convivial. Les burgers sont délicieux et servis rapidement. Le seul bémol c'est que les tables sont très serrées et ne permettent pas de pouvoir discuter de manière aisée.

Great quality, decent price, fast and friendly service. Could not fault anything and Tarek was exceptional

The service was wonderful, the food amazing and the atmosphere was so comfortable! The team went above and beyond to accommodate, 11/10. Special thanks to Blerim and Tarek.

Raining hard outside and by luck we found this lovely restaurant. Great food and service and not too expensive. Would definitely recommend.

16 of us enjoying dinner as part of my daughters hen. The food was delicious, service was quick and the staff attentive and friendly. Would recommend.

I never review places, but this restaurant was so lovely and affordable - a rarity in Covent Garden! My friends and I had the lunch special which was delicious! Such a cute spot as well.

We enjoyed the food and drink here. Ordered Philly cheese steak sandwich and fries, steak and fries, prawns and a Caesar salad. Plus desserts. Tasted good and well presented. Drinks cocktails cider and long island tea. The long Island tea could have tasted better as didn't seem to taste much alcohol in the drink. The waitress who served us was very nice.

Average food for the price paid. Had better. Service none existent, would have been nice for the staff to come over and ask if all was ok and if you needed anything else.

Have been here a couple of times and loved it! Revisited on Thursday 15th last week and the food was amazingly delicious especially the carbonara and chocolate brownie. We were served by Hannah most of the evening who was super polite and friendly and made sure to check everything was okay. She even allowed us to try a wine so we could make sure it was the right one. Tarek was also friendly and funny, he served us a few times and made us feel comfortable. Definitely will be returning more than once!

Such lovely food, wine & staff, a little chilly due to the air con but otherwise a brilliant experience celebrating my birthday :)

Spaghetti carbonara with chicken & chorizo is creamy, juicy, delicious, French Martini is delightful & the sticky toffe pudding is really good Service & staff are top level

Really good Italian food for a decent price in Govent Garden area 🥰 our server Tarek was really funny and friendly!

great customer service-Hanan was so welcoming! Theyre eco warriors too- they serve your water in a recycled flower pot

This place had incredible food and very quick and friendly service. I had the 10oz Ribeye steak and the cookies and cream cheesecake and they both came in very good time and tasted amazing. The staff were all friendly and cheerful even when they had to keep running outside to bring me things. Prices for the food weren’t too bad either considering the area and the quality of the food. My only minor complaint is that the drinks were slightly expensive but other than that would highly recommend. 10/10

Likely bit of grub in this place, had a Philly cheese steak sandwich, highly recommend.

Pre-theatre lunch (Frozen at the Drury Lane Theatre) with our grandchildren. Excellent location to get to the theatre in a minute or two. Children had a two course meal plus drink for £7.95 and we were impressed by the portion sizes of both the pizza (chicken and pepperoni - 75p extra for a second topping) and warm chocolate brownie with ice-cream. The spaghetti bolognese was a good size too. The activities on the children's menu kept the children occupied for some time. Our grandchildren were aged 7 years (with a very large appetite) and five years. As adults we had spaghetti pomodoro and Philly-steak sandwich. I was surprised the draught Italian beer worked out a lot more expensive than the bottled equivalent and opted for the 660ml bottle (same price as a draught pint).. Our waitress / server was particularly good with the children - although the two men, who appeared to be management, were watchers rather than do-ers. Good clean toilets (downstairs).

To be fair it was just about the only place who had space for a walk in. Rammed. Food was ok, i had seafood risotto. It wasn’t great, watery and not really risotto you’d expect. Catering for masses of tourists.

Dropped in post theatre and pre train earlier in July. Breath of fresh air. Freshly made Italian food at its best. Really good prices, wide selection. Great attentive service. Really good atmosphere Would recommend

Had a very delicious meal with the children before the theater visit. Dishes looked neat. Highly recommended.

Very good experience The woman who served us was really nice, the place was lovely and the pizzas were good too. We took two vegetarians pizza to share between 3 persons and they were both very tasty. I highly recommend this place for the good food and the good service.

Went to Wildwood with my 2 kids and husband before the theatre. Service is excellent, and they had kids menu and crayons to keep them occupied. I ordered a buttermilk chicken burger which was quite dry and bland and the bun slightly burnt. My daughter had a mini burger which was again burnt and bitter so she didn't eat it. The kids bolognese was nice and my husband had a nice lasagna. Convenient as near to Drury Lane Theatre Royal!

Pleasant enough room, but staff could have been a bit more effusive. Chicken Milanese was pretty good and a generous portion but the Seafood Risotto was poor - chewy (probably frozen) seafood and way too much chilli

This restaurant was recommended to us and it didn't disappoint. It wasn't in the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden itself (which we were quite happy with, to be fair). Certainly deserved 5* ratings for food and service... the only reason I've put 3 for the atmosphere is because we went on a Sunday afternoon and there weren't many people in then, but again, that suited us 😊

When we arrived, it was packed, and we had no reservation. Fortunately, we didn’t wait too long to get a table for two. The waiter who took our orders knew the menu well and made great suggestions. When I ordered my seafood pasta, he recommended less chili, which was perfect. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I had the sea bass with veg. It was so disappointing. It was overcooked (burnt in one side with fish sticking to the sin like cardboard) and very small. The vegetables were very salty too. I also asked for a white wine spritzer in a very large glass and it came in an ordinary wine glass with a little jug of flat soda. I was not impressed at all. I definitely won't be going back again as the meal was substandard for the money paid and waitress did not not listen to my request. I wish I had taken a photo to show you.

Great venue to take in a pre show meal

I went to the restaurant with family for my 50th birthday. Never again. Calzone hardly had any filling in it. Was mainly dough. Resoto looked like a starter. And the sticky toffee pudding was about 1 cm thick. Felt rushed. They started clearing. the plates while people were still eating. And then gave out dessert menus while still eating mains and didn't want us to wait before ordering them. Never before have I experienced this kind of service anywhere.

Food good drinks good staff friendly , payment took 40 min was last customer to be served guest after me where serviced and left before I can pay I had to beg please take my payment service was slow and bad noisey place to eat

We went here with 7 guests tonight . A great place for pre theatre dinner . I have to say that Blemrim and his team were so welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing , nicely presented and tasted delicious. We made Blerim aware that we were celebrating a birthday and he presented a birthday candle dessert . I will be returning here for sure . Many thanks Blerim !

An extraordinary experience with impeccable service and a warm, elegant ambiance.Alina and Oana recommended a special pizza, which turned out to be amazing. Highly recommended for an exceptional evening out. They are very dexterous in their job and very welcoming. Best hospitality experience ever!!!!!

The restaurant itself looks lovely and the design of it all. We were 'shown' to our table by I believe the manager who just chucked the menus on the table and then started talking to someone else (first flag, and tbh we should have left) we then asked a question about student discount and the gentleman seems irritated that we asked really rude and just said read what it says and was not helpful at all. We then ordered and my partners food had hair in it TWICE.... We complained the first time and the dish was replaced, by this point, my food was getting cold and we were charing one plate. Once his food arrived it was nice but found another hair near the end stuck in the cheese.... very disappointing. They weren't very apologetic about this. Wasn't offered a drink or something to nibble on while be waited. This item was taken off the receipt but then said we can't use student discount as they had taken an item of the menu (like we should be thankful and they were doing us a favour) but no other 'sorry'. Over all very disappointing. Also zucchini fries were sooo oily and do not taste of anything but oil. Wasn't very welcoming or friendly at all. The lady who gave us the wine was lovely and had an amazing smile, wish we had her serving us!
