Have been to Zero Quattro a number of times now and felt i should write in. In short, its an excellent Italian restaurant. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and deal with a full restaurant very well indeed. Ok so if they are one or two staff down, you expect to wait a bit longer between corses, but its such a good atmosphere, its easy to pass time quickly. Food : the simplest of dishes are full of flavour and depth. The tortelloni with sage and butter is divine. The asparagus and goats chees risotto melts in your mouth, the tagliolini with speck and mushroom is sublime. there isn't anything on the menu they do badly. The desserts are wonderful, in particular the tiramisu, maybe the best i've had. The ice cream profiteroles are fantastic too. The thing i love about this place is that they remember you when you go back, the little touches like a parting shot of Limoncello after your meal, they are accommodating in requests as well. As for the 12.5% service charge, i personally have no problems with that, and feel its a justifiable amount to pay. basically it's worth it. For those of you who say its on the pricey side, you need to re think what pricey is. Dont expect 5 star food for Little Chef money!! This is seriously good food, at great value for money. The set lunches they do are incredibly cheap, so if the thought of parting with £30 a head leaves you undecided, then go for lunch first of all.

We need more places like this in London. Long may Giovanni and his crew continue doing what they do best.

Zero Quattro is worth every penny you spend. The starter, the main, the wine and the puddings are delicious! I also rate the atmosphere highly as Giovanni keeps everyone's spirits high with his entertainment!

The food is fantastic - we have never been disappointed. We also love the atmosphere, but if you are looking for a formal, quiet meal this is not the right place. Go with a relaxed attitude and enjoy a genuine, delicious Italian meal.

Went to Zero Quattro to celebrate a friends birthday. Had a lovely evening, fantastic food, great service! A bit on the pricey side - so perhaps only for special occasions.

I was taken to the restaurant on Wednesday 8th February to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed the cosy friendly atmosphere and the friendly service. I lived in Italy for several years and I was most impressed by the excellent food. We had a most enjoyable evening but I am afraid that I agree with the number of reviewers who complained about the 12.5% service charge which is surely unnecessary. If the service is good and the food is enjoyable, why add a 12.5% service charge knowing it might annoy some of the diners - I was astonished to see so many complaints on the web-site!!!

Ate here with some friends a couple of weeks before Christmas and definately won't be returning - ever! The service was the worst I have ever experienced. And I agree completely with the previous reviewer about the waiters being too much. What should have been a nice, fun meal with a few friends turned out to be an extremely stressful and horrible experience. When we asked for the service charge to be removed the waiter sung a whole verse of 'We wish you a merry Christmas' to us. Don't go here - it's really not worth it.

Ate here tonight. Food was quite good. Menu mentioned 12.5% service charge for parties of 6 or over. We (4 people) received the bill with 12.5 service charge added. When queried the first waiter pleaded ingonorance..."I don't think the menus says that sir". When we insisted he went away to check...and vanished. When we asked another waiter we were finally informed that everyone gets charged 12.5% and that the menus need to be reprinted (apparently in 2 weeks). No offer to remove the charge...I probably would have added it anyway. Don't enjoy being treated like an idiot. Will not be returning.
