The best restaurants serving Italian food in St James's City of London, Westminster London

Had a great experience at Bella Italia at the Strand today! Lovely food and service, especially from Gabriele! Will be coming back

La vespa used to be one of my favourite restaurants in London, unfortunately I assume they closed the restaurant and the place called “little Italy” bough them. The food is not the same anymore and is not a typical Italian food with Italian ingredients, is overpriced, honestly just save your money and go somewhere else.

Pepe serves great Italian street food in a great variety. Visitors can dine on pizza, pasta and other Italian-style cuisine. Pepe is popular with local residents and visiting tourists. My partner and me loved Pepe, we had a great tasty Italian lunch in London.

No worse than any other pizza joint. All claim Naples authenticity, but what we get are bland, soft, undercooked soupy pies. As one review had it “pillowy” meant as a compliment. San Marzano tomatoes in juice make for a watery mess with no herbs and no taste. London needs to get out of the fake Napoli deal and start offering some variety like NY style, deep dish, New Haven, Rome pizza Al taglio, etc. and for god’s sake, add some FLAVOR!

Muy buen helado. Tenía una selección de 3 sabores. Muy caro pero fue una oportunidad única en la vida para probar esta marca. Grandes colas.

Tuve una gran experiencia aquí! Rao y Jay eran muy amables y se tomaron el tiempo para ayudarnos a entender todos los sabores de helado. Hicieron algunas recomendaciones geniales y el servicio fue muy bueno. Sin duda volvería de nuevo!

Almorzamos aquí. La comida era muy sabrosa y hecha con buenos ingredientes. Sin embargo, no creo que volvamos aquí de nuevo. No creo que el menú dijera que habría un 14. Cargo por servicio del 5% en la factura. Habría pagado felizmente si el servicio hubiera sido bueno! Nuestro camarero nunca sonrió y fue difícil escuchar lo que nos estaba diciendo. Además, el agua costó £ 5. Así que te recomiendo que pagues £ 1 más y consigas una cerveza.

Lovely venue, food amazing - would recommend the seafood risotto. Staff welcoming, attentive and friendly, decor elegant and pretty, music good and not too loud. Will be back.

Absolutely fantastic!! Great food and service was awesome. So friendly. Brushetta was so flavorful.

Late servic, rude staff, overpriced

We fancied a pasta dinner and as we couldn't get a last minute reservation at our favourite Italian in central London we thought we'd try Cafe Murano, which is the little sister of the Michelin-starred Murano in Mayfair. Well it wasn't bad but it was just so very very ordinary. Among the starters, the bruschetta and the arancini were fine - in fact the former was a little different from most - and that was laudable - but the portions were small. But these paled into insignificance compared to a standard glass of (red) wine, which must have been the smallest size I've ever seen - and this really left a bad taste in our mouths. As for mains - the choices were extremely limited - and quite often that's good because those menu items are excellent. Of the three, the skate wing was decent but the sausage ragu and the gnocchi were extremely pedestrian.

Amazing food, the meatball burger is something else! As is the banoffee pie full marks

Great food, portions middle size and it is enough to order 2-3 for 2 people. Not 4 as recommended. Unless you are very hungry. Freshly made. Good selection. Music is played but with the noise level in the restaurant it isn’t heard but just adds to the noise.

We found this restaurant in lockdown 2021 and it was great. Not been back for a while and still excellent. Great varied specials too. Very handy pre theatre eatery. Thank you

Gran servicio y con una sonrisa en una de las noches más concurridas del año hasta ahora! Un poco caro, pero esto es Londres y tuvimos una vista maravillosa sobre la Piazza Covent Garden. Sin duda volveríamos aquí de nuevo.
