My Daughter and I visited Little Italy prior going to a show and we found it a charming restaurant with excellent service by the staff. They made changes to the meal on the menu to accommodate us. Nothing was any bother.
We had the pre-theatre meal which was delicious. The main course was marinated chicken that was well cooked and very tasty. We chose profiteroles for the dessert and they were absolutely out of this world, they were so lovely.
I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone and will visit them again whenever I visit London.

And to those who say expect to pay this amount if you're in the west end - I can give a dozen other restaurants where it's worth the money.

Over-priced, horrendous music (unless 'It's raining men' or ''I will survive' is your kind of thing), sleazy men and full of London tourists. I won't be going again.

Music is for people who are 50-60 years plus which is a shame as place and atmosphere great and fun. Who wants to dance to 'build me up buttercup' and 'sweet caroline'. So much potential but a clearly stressed and scared dj who won't deviate from his playlist to accommodate his 30-40yr audience. Shame.

I went to little Italy on Saturday after a friend had raved about it. I had one of the best nights in the west end ever. The atmosphere was absolutely electric, especially around 11pm when everyone gets up to dance. The staff were so attentive, cheerful and utterly charming to everyone. The food was top class; we had the lobster linguine - fresh chunks of delicious lobster with every mouthful. We didn't order a starter as the bread at the start and fondant at the end was plenty. If your going to go for a meal and pay west end prices then this is the place to go especially if you want to get your dancing shoes on!!

Well I go here a lot, this place is a party place. Best time to go is about 9pm it rocks around 10.
You want fine cuisine go elsewhere, though the food is traditional and high in quality.
Dont like the prices? Stay out of the West End then.

We went for my sisters hen do and were told we had to have the set price menu (£45 a head). The atmosphere was really lively and fun but the food was overpriced, bland and badly cooked - I have eaten better set meals at a staff Xmas party!!! This place is very over priced for what they deliver. I would only go back again for the disco and drinks.

Awful. Went for a late lunch on a Sunday. No one else in the restaurant - we soon discovered why. A basket of bread was the best part of the meal and we hadn't ordered it, A bowl of pasta and a glass of red = £26. They are having a laugh. Never again. Also very limited menu and very average cooking. Don't go.

Rip off - Popped in on Saturday for lunch with a friend. Upon arrival we were given canapes and and a big basket of bread which was nice. However, when it came to the bill we were charged for the bread and they had not told us this was going to be the case. CHEEKY!
Additionally, we were charged £3 "Consumer Charge" when we asked what this was apparently it was for the tablecloth!
A starter of Calamari was £14 and definitely not worth it. Pasta was fresh but the sauce tasted like chive gravy.
The bill was £87 for 1 shared starter. 2 bowls of pasta and a bottle of house rose......not worth it.

Really not impressed went with a group of friends on saturday. 3 of the girls ordered the ravioli which 2 of them had been made with crab when I told the waiteress she clearly misunderstood and said if you like you eat. I then told her that my friend was allegic to shellfish and this was not what we ordered. it was taking away and replaced 2 with crab meat before finally getting it right .
Everytime I went to the bar the price of the drinks doubled on about my 3rd trip to the bar I noticed a small sign that said after 11pm all drinks were double. Will not be going back there in a hurry.
