Zilli Cafe in City of London, Westminster

Hemos ido varias veces, la mejor opción de comidas en nuestra opinión es la Calzone o la pizza, todo lo demás parece fallar. El vino tiene un precio razonable, así que si decides que una buena pizza y una buena botella de Rose están en los planes, este es un gran lugar para conseguirlo.

Pedí uno de los cafés especiales zilli en nottingham Parcs de centro. fue pasta con espinacas y champiñones en una cremosa salsa. Lo que llegamos fue sin duda espinacas y champiñones pero en una sopa aguada, de hecho estaba demasiado aguachento a ser sopa. Fue sin duda no es una cremosa salsa. También es falta cualquier tipo de sabor y tuve que usar un montón de pimienta molida. Una muy mala experiencia y sorprendente que zilli Aldo quiere poner su nombre.En una nota positiva el personal era encantador.

Visité este café ayer con mi madre. Asumiendo que sería bastante bueno ya que era un restaurante 'chefs como un gran error. No había ningún tipo de cualquiera de los platos de pasta y cuando pregunté qué Pasta Alforno con pollo y bacon era luchó para explicar. decidimos probarlo, la camarera nos dijo que era cocinado en el horno así que me imaginaba algún tipo de pasta hornear. Lo que en realidad era un plato de comida precocinada pasta en un horno con unos 3 piezas de pollo y la misma cantidad de bacon gotear en aceite de oliva - no cebolla, ajo o cualquier tipo de aromatizantes que. pan de ajo que habíamos pedido no vienen cuando me recordó a la camarera, hizo detrás del coutner y troceados algo de pan que ha comprado , le dije que no nos molestó.Cuando intenté pedir el vino tinto me dijo que debería tener vino blanco como estaba teniendo pollo!!! El vino tinto vino y era muy normal £4.00 botella de supermercado de vino, pero cuando la ley habían achaco a en la factura como una merlot cuando era de hecho su vino de la casa. Aunque tomaron este fuera de la ley, y se disculpó por el error que tuve que me pregunto si fue un error! Volvería sin duda está no lo recomiendo y os aconsejo Aldo Zilli hasta la salida su café. Además de esto, también parece que podía hacer con una limpia y necesita de algunas reparaciones en general.

Popped in to Zilli Cafe yesterday after scouring the area for an Italian lunch. Thought with Zilli's reputation we couldn't go wrong. The Caprese salad was nice but the Tortellini were a little on the oily / stodgy side and the coffee was, unfortunately, lukewarm.However, food aside, I couldn't recommend this place for one major and a couple of minor reasons. Firstly the major - hygiene. The gent's toilet was an absolute disgrace - I would advise Mr Zilli (who surely must visit his own establishments) to cancel the TV appearances for a while and invest in a bottle of limescale remover and some bleach. Also, if he can find a screwdriver, perhaps he can tighten the excuse for a lock that's on the door (also, why does the miniscule WC require a grotty old CD player and amplifier with wires hanging out of it in there?) The floor of the dining area wasn't much better with a grimy appearance and even a couple of pieces of litter blowing around.Minor points are that the place was unbelievably cold and the staff weren't particularly attentive, despite them outnumbering the customers!

we arrived around 6pm friday evening the place was empty. the floor was filthy, you could see dirt and on the underneath of my handbag was a layer of white dust when i picked it up. we had to ask the staff to trun down the heavy metal/grunge music and put something more suitable on. our order was taken, after being given a dirty crumpled menu, the food was served very quickly. we then had to ask for salt & pepper and not once sis anyone ask if everything was ok or did we want another drink etc. we asked for the bill, and then had to ask for them to come and take payment. this place needs a thorough clean - apparently the gents was dirty with no paper towel to dry your hands. the staff were engrossed in chatting to each other rathe than being attentive. very dissapointing.

Pasear por los teatros en Londres que estábamos buscando un sitio para comer, y tropezamos Zilli's. El hombre mismo hizo una demostración de comida en la cocina (que se puede ver desde la calle), así que nos marchamos el menú y decidí que sería ideal. Por desgracia la calidad de la comida que se sirve en la cafetería (no puedo opinar sobre el restaurante adyacente) estaba por debajo las expectativas. Dos personas de nuestro grupo había langostinos, que comprendía tres grandes gambas con nada; otros dos contaban con un plato de pasta con pollo y bacon, pero ninguno plato tenía más de un pequeño trozo de carne, y la parte inferior de los platos tenían alrededor de una pulgada de aceite grasienta. Las otras dos comidas estaban bien, pero no genial. Evidentemente, nos quejamos de la pasta, y el personal era muy servicial, ofreciendo una pechuga de pollo, y a informar al chef del problema del aceite. Cuando las pechugas de pollo llegamos estaban poco hecha (es decir cruda por dentro). Para ser justos con el personal, no cobran por las comidas de pasta, el pollo, o las patatas fritas adicionales que pedimos durante la larga espera para ser servido, y nos ofrecieron cafés gratuitos y postre. Sin embargo, cuando posteriormente leer críticas de esta cafetería, notamos exactamente los mismos comentarios, así que la "pasta con tapaderas" parece ser estándar. En un punto, el Sr. Zilli mismo vino a través del café, pero no nos hablan - quizás el personal no le habló de los problemas. Por último, si va a visitar este lugar, no utilizar los aseos a menos que realmente tiene que - estaban vergonzoso (ambas damas y caballeros).

We selected Zilli Cafe for a post award family celebration for 8 people from 18 - 88. Their website advertised a buffet with drink but when we got to the Cafe, there was no buffet option. (I now notice that this is no longer on the website!) The set menu had a choice of three options for starter, main and dessert. The choices were not very interesting. We had to ask for bread three times even though we were one of two customers dining there. One of the mains was fergulla pasta but we were told that they didn't have any more so it was served a bit of calamari and olives in an oversized bowl. We were charged for a bottle of wine at £19.00 when we had ordered only a glass. (this was refunded after we called it to their attention). We were mischarged when when two of the party decided to go from two course to three course. I phoned to complain twice. After being passed from one person to another, I eventually was passed to Aldo Zilli's PA. She said she would talk with Aldo and get back to me. I have never heard from them. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

We had lunch here last Saturday. There were only 4 other diners in around 12.30. We opted for the set £9.90 menu. My friend had the arribiata muscles to start which turned out to be the best dish we had between us! I had king prawns in lobster sauce, 3 prawns and the sauce was tasteless unfortunately. My main was tortellini with cherry tomatoes and rocket, which I assumed would be in a tomato sauce. It came piping hot as it should, but with one cherry tomato cut in half and six or seven wilted leaves of rocket in a cheese sauce - it did however taste OK if not what expected. My friend had roast chicken and roast potatoes. The potatoes were cubes and fried and COLD. The chicken just plain old roasted thighs, not even with garlic or rosemary or any kind of flavour - very disappointing as we had so looked forward to eating here.We asked for the bill and mentioned to the waiter our complaints, he just tutted and looked towards the kitchen. When the bill came, it was the wrong one! He rectified this and offered us two free coffees. The bill came to £23,99 which included a lime and soda and a diet coke.Would not bother with the cafe specials again - maybe the main menu would be better. One would hope so!

Nos quedamos fascinados por el animado ambiente. El servicio era rápido pero olvidar. platos de pasta llegó rápidamente, pero no ofrecen parmesano o pimienta. Ambos platos eran bastante pesado y aburrido. ensalada nunca llegamos a pesar preguntar dos veces y aún así apareció en la factura.Excelente ubicación, excelente ambiente. pasta de escuela servido por Sleepy personal.

Walking the streets late night after the theatre looking for something to eat and stumbled into L'Apertitivo at Zilli Cafe. We were attracted by the fresh pasta hanging in the cafe. We wanted something different than pub food and fresh pasta looked good. The Chef Simone Londra had just put together a couple of dishes for the staff that looked and smelled terrific which made the ordering much easier. We decided to go with a goat ragu with fresh pasta and a pasta carbonera. Some of the best Italian food we have ever had, whether in Italy or in Southern California. Too bad we can't find a closer late night Italian food fix closer to home.

Aldo Zilli never disappoints at this down to earth and friendly cafe , great breakfasts and lunches, with quick service here. The cafe perfectly complements his fish restaurant next door.

Thanks to all of the positive Trip Advisor reviews, 5 of us had a fabulous pasta meal here. The chef came to our table to explain the menu choices, describing his preparation and ingredients in detail and warmly welcoming us. Each of us tried a different pasta dish and they were scrumptious! 5 generous dishes, a bottle of wine, 2 shared desserts and one espresso totaled around $100. We are already planning a return visit!

The Cafe is located around Picadilly Circus in the back streets of Soho and the edge of theatreland. It is set up in a cafe style and is not a restaurant for a quiet meal for 2. It is in fact a vibrant cafe with various sitting arrangements to suit all tastes. The menu is focused on light eating for people on the go but is flexible enough to accommodate a three course meal if that is what you want. We shared a fresh bruschetta as a starter. I had the pasta special of the day which was spinach ravioli in a mushroom, cherry tomato and truffle oil sauce. There are 6 fresh pasta sauces and 4 different types of pasta offered so happy with the recommendation of the special. My hubby had a mixed grill of lamb, chicken and Italian sausage with a Greek salad - he says it's the best lamb he has ever tasted and we definitely overcook lamb! Hubby had the tiramisu to finish off. We watched the world go by on this busy Soho street, ate amazing food, drank Italian beer and had a fantastic evening. The above plus three Peroni and a Pellegrino came to £34 - best value for money you will find in London! Love yourself enough to visit Zilli Cafe!

food fantasic service great you get far more for your money very plesent place to eat and moden would recoment this place to anyone who likes italian food

Fantastic coffee, tasty salads, pasta & sandwiches
