The best restaurants serving Italian food in Aldersgate, Cheap City of London, Westminster London

Warm welcome, excellent customer care and delicious food. Rich, deep flavours, good size portions and a lovely relaxed casual dining experience.

Booked this for a friends birthday - service was very slow and no refill of water or ask if we wanted more drink. Main course was very average and extremely small portions for the price - my partner was left feeling very hungry after a very small portion of calves liver. The mixed grill was not very hot and the rice sticky - shame as it looked nice from reviews. An expensive meal for not a lot of food and was left feeling disappointed.

This restaurant is fantastic the quality of the food and the great menu makes it special . Lovely setting and great people .

Agradable menú de brunch que incluye huevos, granola, papilla, tortitas, pasteles, batidos y más. Normalmente voy los fines de semana, a mi sucursal local. Todo lo que he intentado ha sido bueno, no puedo quejarme. Si vas, evita las horas pico, ya que la sucursal es pequeña, los asientos están muy apretados y está súper ocupado. Hay algunas mesas afuera también. La comida es genial como el café. El personal es amable y agradable. Mi problema es la eficiencia del servicio. Como dije el personal es lo suficientemente agradable. Parece que hay suficientes, pero el servicio es súper lento. Puedes esperar eternamente para obtener un menú o un pedido si no llamas a alguien. Normalmente solo voy al mostrador a pagar cuando he terminado de comer, ya que pedir la cuenta toma otros 10 minutos. Simplemente no creo que trabajen juntos y no puedan lidiar cuando se pone ocupado. También necesitan limpiar. Las mesas y los pisos a menudo se dejan sucios. Pedí un vaso de agua del grifo hoy cuando estuve allí y el vaso estaba sucio. Un lugar agradable y voy regularmente, pero necesitan endurecer el servicio y la higiene a veces. Muy golpeado y fallado.

Rucoletta is a fantastic little Italian spot tucked just behind St Paul’s Cathedral. I went in without much expectation and left genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. I had a prawn pasta dish (can’t remember the exact name!) — it came with giant, juicy prawns in a beautifully balanced, light sauce. The pasta was perfectly cooked and soaked up the flavours so well. You could tell the ingredients were really fresh. It was one of those dishes you don’t want to end. The service was quick even though the place was quite busy. The warm bread with olive oil they bring out is a nice touch, and overall, the prices are very fair for central London — especially for the quality you’re getting. It’s one of those rare places that feels like a local secret. No gimmicks, just really good food and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving proper Italian!

I love this place! Really great, friendly, tasty and cheap local Italian. We've been going for years and the food has always been good but has got better if anything recently.

¡Una gran decepción! Desde el momento en que llegamos, estaba claro que el servicio al cliente era muy deficiente. Nadie estaba prestando atención a los huéspedes que entran en el restaurante, y tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos solo para estar sentados. Después de ordenar, nuestros platos principales tardaron 45 minutos en llegar, solo para que la camarera trajera el pedido equivocado y olvidara por completo la bebida que habíamos pedido casi una hora antes. Finalmente recibimos la red correcta junto con la bebida alrededor de la 1. 5 horas después de nuestra reserva. La comida era buena, pero la noche estaba completamente arruinada por el mal servicio. Ni una sola disculpa por el tiempo de espera o los errores. Al final, pagamos y nos fuimos, sintiéndonos frustrados y decepcionados.

A wonderful level of care and customer service

Wonderful service and delicious pasta. The new family who run this place are doing a great job. I’m addicted to the Di Carlos pasta and my daughter loves the Nutella pizza on sourdough. 100% recommend this local gem.

The service was really bad, waiting 20 mins for a margarita to only find out they didn’t have the ingredients to make it, pre made an reservation to only be sat at a seat I front of the kitchen door. There really bad communication within the staff also got the wrong drink brought to me. The starter was nothing spectacular And the main lacked seasoning. Very bland. A disappointing experience for a mid week visit to a restaurant.

We had a fantastic evening. The food was super and reasonably priced. What a lovely buzzy restaurant. The drink prices were also very competitive. Excellent value and quality.

Het eten was heerlijk en ook niet te duur. De service was ook geweldig. Hele aardige mensen en ze hielpen gelijk. We hebben ook snel ons eten gekregen. Erg genoten en zeker een aanrader.

Wow the owner is so rude. I asked what was available in the breakfast menus and the owner barked ‘Italians only eat croissants for breakfast’ in a very aggressive way. I was so taken aback by the tone and body language. I told her to leave it and walked out the shop. Very presumptuous of her to assume I’m not Italian?!? My family is from Reggio Calabria!!! She must have presumed I’m Asian as my husband clearly is and she spoke badly to me. We Italians are friendly, warm and hospitable people. So don’t let her attitude give you any misconceptions of real Italian hospitality.

Conocí a un amigo para tomar un café, después de haber sido desilusionado por los cafés de cadena habituales cerca de la estación de Marylebone - este lugar está a 7 - 8 minutos a pie de la estación. Mi amigo tenía granola impregnada de miel (es dentista, ¡imagínate...!) más 2 x americanos y yo 2 x blancos planos y 2 galletas. Servicio muy amable, hablador y educado, buena calidad de la tarifa y un ambiente acogedor. Sin duda iré de nuevo.
