Aragosta

This place is amazing, i'm a regular in this restaurant and they have never failed to disappoint. I have been for the pizzas which are the best i've tasted in any italian restaurant and the steaks are divine! And the fish?! Fresh and juicy as if caught that day! Im a regular because i cant help to think what else they can offer me on their wonderful menu. They give you exactly what you ask for, its a shame there are some negative reviews as i find this restaurant to be my favourite.

My wife and I were back at Aragosta last week and the majority of reviews have got it spot on, the food is excellent, although we only eat fish and vegetarian options (which one would think might restrict our view), the service just right, solicitous without being intrusive and the prices are good as well. They invariably chuck in a complementary drink of some sort and know how to keep the diners happy.

£30 a head may sound high to some, but is about right; four of us went there before last Christmas and we had three courses with coffee, a couple of bottles of wine, soft drinks etc for that. Portions are just right, you'll end up full but not stuffed!

We all enjoyed ourselves, the atmosphere is always welcoming and they seem busy pretty much throughout the week. One of our party was strictly a 'meat and two veg' man and very fussy to boot, he said his steak was the best he could remember, so your last reviewer must have got a different place!

We live fairly local to the restaurant and would echo your other reviewer's pizza experience, whenever we fancy a take-away one we order from them; their veggie options are excellent as well and good value...

In an overlooked area for good restaurants this is one of our faves, we've never had a dud meal and I'd have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

I went to this restaurant because its local and also because of the comments on this site, which are good in the extreme and boy was I disappointed.

I ordered a medium rare steak but what I got was blood red under the surface. It was taken away and it came back well done, tough and tasteless.

The waiters were bored and curt bordering on rude.

This is a genuine criticism of a poor over priced restaurant unlike the suspiciously rave 'reviews' I read before I went.

Went there based on recommendations here and was in no way disappointed! All three courses were delicious, the swordfish I had as my main was lovely and soft and tasty and the vegetables I had with it were cooked to perfection. The venue is very nice, and the staff were both very efficient and very friendly. Will definitely be going back!

This has to be one of my favourite Italian restaurants in London. Absolutely excellent food and service.
