Italian Graffiti

I have just read the review of Alexander and was shocked by what he had put. Is he really talking about the same italian restaurant? I was recommended to go to Italian Graffiti 5 years ago by some friends who happened to stubble on this restaurant by chance. I now go to this restaurant everytime I'm in London and recommend all my family and friends to go there too. Italian Graffiti is a cosy restaurant with great food and the staff are more than helpful and very friendly. I have even decided to go to London for my birthday this year and of course I will be having my birthday meal here with friends as in the last 5 years I cannot report one bad experience.

Went with a big group for a cheap monday dinner and fitted the bill perfectly. Fireplaces made it slightly different but mainly good, inexpensive food and really good service. Had people turning up at different times, babies bottles that needed heating etc and the staff were great with all of it. Think we ended up sitting there for about 2-3 hours, with no rush even after we'd paid the bill.

I have visited with my two colleagues Italian Graffiti on 9 March. Due to fireplaces it is a bit more attractive than other surrounding Italian restaurants. But I can not say that cuisine is something special. It is ordinary cookery which you meet in every low budget Italian restaurant in London. I can not say that it has reasonable prices. For the quality of courses we get it is expensive.

We were almost speachless when in the end the waiter bring to us piece of paper with handwriten something except receipt when we asked the bill. We asked him to bring us sales register receipt where we could see for what we should pay. He refused. He offer us empty blanks of receipts where we could write what we want if we need expendure report to our office. Then we asked him to write in details for what we should pay and found that he wanted cheat us on 2.5 pounds. It was something new for us visitors of London from Eastern Europe to found that in center of London people do not pay any taxes and so shameless cheat their visitors.

We stumbled across this place on Saturday afternoon (20/11/06) and booked in for 5.30 for a meal before going to the theatre. The food was excellent, staff were excellent and the prices were very reasonable. Its in our phone for next time.

I took my boyfriend to IG for his birthday after reading reviews on this site. I have to say that we had a lovely evening. The staff were friendly, the food was great (my boyfriend loved the fish soup!! and my quattro formaggi pizza)and it was very reasonably priced: only £54 for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts and a bottle of wine. I would definitely recommend Italian Graffiti to anyone who loves good food and good company!

The minestrone soup as a starter was generous and tasty.it had a certain home made feel to it.Main course was an equally generous spaghetti dish with crab meat.it's churlish to criticize but the first time i cam here on a date,the atmposphere was too noisy and i was anxious to leave.A small penalty perhaps.

I have been to this restaurant several times and have always been impressed by the quality of both the food and the service. The "fish soup" starter is well worth the effort (though not a "first date" item as it's rather messy to eat!), while the deep fried cheese starter is yummy. The pizzas are great, and the desserts are to die for! Reasonable prices too. Not open Sundays.

I went to Italian Graffiti for lunch on Staurday based on the good reviews on this website. I ahve to say I was disappointed as were my mum and sister who came with. The pizza bases are good, but it's a shame that the toppings are rather bland. My isster was also less than impressed with her spaghetti bolognese.

I have been going here for 8 years now, I only have the pizza and it really is one of the best & authentic in London. It's light and crispy, cooked to perfection, the mozzarella is real mozzarella (it comes out all melted and delicious), the tomato is light and tasty and the toppings are always good quality. Having lived in Italy, I know a good pizza when I taste one and I always go to Italian Graffiti when I want real pizza.

I cannot comment on the other food they serve (except the pizza garlic bread....delicious), but why go to a Pizzeria and have chicken anyway?!

Stick to the pizza and you will not be disappointed!

Pleasant ambience with lovely roaring fires in the frosty months. Reasonably priced food. Not gourmet but far and away better than certain kiddy-targeted pizza chains I could mention. Why oh why do parents keep going to those grease pits? Do yourselves a favour & take the kids here instead, it certainly won't put a big dent in your wallet.
