Locanda Ottoemezzo

Our waiter AJ was very friendly and had a great sense of humour! We were a group of 9 & couldn't fault his level of service or attentiveness. The restaurant itself is a gem and I'd recommend taking some time to admire all the quirky little arts which have been placed all around (incl. facilities). Great atmosphere. The food! Everything we've ordered were done to perfection, I'd probably say all but the steak - although it's an English Olive fed Wagyu so it was still top marks!

A beautiful, outstanding, delicious place to eat. Ran by people who are true with what is available and understand ll you need to know to ensure each visit is unique and fulfilling. The food is varied and all on offer has a miraculous taste. Drinks are plentiful whatever you choose and the service in no way can be faltered. This is a restaurant I look forward to coming back to many more times, indefinitely!

We had the best italian dinner in London. We could feel the love in their food and their service!
Hope to come back some day!

Authentic Italian food, somewhat expensive but worth the detour!

The restaurant has its own cachet, composed of small rooms over 2 floors and uniquely decorated.

The menu is short, which is always reassuring and shows freshness, and mostly composed of the daily specials. My girlfriend and I started by sharing a plate of pasta and beef carpaccio with black truffle followed by veal ossobuco and porc chops. The sides were the same for both main dishes and very tasty (the potato millefeuille was "wow"). Throughout all these dishes you could really taste the true flavor of the ingredients with the right amount of seasoning to flame things up. We finished with a tasty Tiramisu and accompanied the entire dinner with a lovely Italian wine.

Probably one of the restaurants I am most looking forward to go back in London. One star less on the food because the porc chop was slightly raw on the bone side. Overall the price felt a bit above what was expected but it remains a very enjoyable dinner.

The owner/manager as well as the main waiter are very professional- solicitous without being intrusive and friendly without being familiar. The restaurant is quirky in that it is divided into small rooms which keeps the noise down and has a charming atmosphere. The food is excellent if slightly on the expensive side and the markup on the wine is high but perhaps that’s what they need to charge these days for a restaurant in an expensive area of London. All in all, a very pleasant and satisfactory experience. Will definitely go again.

Food and ambiance is great!

I took my wife here for her birthday just recently and the food and service was phenomenal. Everything we ordered was delicious. I had the Jerusalem artichokes with truffle and Parmesan crisps as a starter and I highly recommend. For a main I had linguine with Devon crab. My wife had a blue fin tuna as a starter and seafood pasta with black squid ink. Both amazing.
The service from the warm and friendly Italian gentleman who waited our table I can’t appreciate enough. When he brought dessert he also brought a little portable record player to the table with Happy Birthday playing as he knew it was my wife’s birthday. Thank-you!
Love the decor inside.
Great place for a date.

I came (to the cafe) for the pizza, and could have stayed all day for the vibe.
Very relaxed, quiet, friendly ... perfect place to enjoy perfect pizza crust and very good food across the menu.

Excellent service. Ordered the 'signature' dishes and they were very good. Lovely, cosy restaurant. Recommended.

Nice local cafe with some really nice wall art form vintage French and Italian films. I recommend !

Love this place. Superb food. Quirky and individualistic. Has a great vibe to it. London has so many good restaurants that we can try a different place each time we visit, however we will make a point of returning here because we like everything about it.

Fabulous restaurant with amazing owner and staff. Try the Parmesan risotto

Wonderful experience. Owning a house and spending a lot of time in Italy, I rarely go to Italian restaurants outside of Italy, unless it’s for pizza. However, Emidio greeted us warmly and enthusiastically and the evening continued on that note. Wonderful dishes that were well prepared and delicious and authentic. Fresh spring ingredients such as asparagus and stuffed zucchini flowers exemplified the meals and the decor is fun and festive. Great experience in London

8.5 out of 5…amazing food, wine & service….a great Italian gastronomic experience. Will be back for sure!!!

Honestly the best Italian cuisine I have ever had the wagi pasta is to die for and the staff are really nice all in all what more could you ask for

Incredible food and service. Most authentic italian in London

Very fancy place! It's very atmospheric place. Food was great! Wi-fi isn't working at underground floor

Great old fashioned Italian …. As for the Spaghetti carbonara!!! Best since a classic Italian in Pisa…!

Incredible service, attentive but not over bearing or hovering. So friendly. Quirky, fun interior of old film posters from Italy. Sensational food. Great wine list. We had an absolutely wonderful evening!

Surprisingly an amazing Italian restaurant. I've dined at many in London and Italy itself - really didn't expect this little place to be so good (kinda judged it on the decor), but better than most. Great pizza, great pasta, great antipasti. Excellent service, too.
