AnaCapri

My boyfriend and I dined at Anacapri on New Years Eve. To say the least, the food was awful and unfresh. The risotto and ravioli are strongly not recommended dishes. We were rushed through the dinner. They packed too many table into the restaurant so people couldn't even leave without moving the next table. Finally, sent back the stale risotto only to be charged full price at the end. We told them how bad the food was and they didn't even apologize. This restaurant is seconds away from my doorstep and I will never eat here again! DO NOT EAT HERE...you will be disappointed if you like good authentic italian food.

I have finally found a little gem in the heart of west end.

Fantastic good at a very reasonable price but unfortunately might need to book as this weekend we got caught out and there was a queue.

Would definately recommend this if you want some real Italian food.

This is probably the friendlies restaurant I have ever been to. My Aunt lives just up the road and it has long been her "local". The staff are very attentive and greet everyone as though they are old mates. The food is delicious and clearly home-made. Always enquire about their specials of the day and try and speak to the "boss" who is always very keen to please.

Nice nibbles beforehand are generously topped up (cover charge of £1.00 covers this) and delicious mints with coffees.

Lovely place for a relaxed meal!

We love it here, the staff are fantastic, the food delicious and the atmosphere wonderful. It is a cosy old fashioned Italian. You should always ask the owner what he thinks is best dish on the menu the day you go. I have never been disappointed.

I lived by Ana Capri for about 12 months before venturing in -- I have been going back for 5 years. This is very much a neighborhood place, people who eat there live or work nearby, and they pack it out. It is my wife's favorite London restaurant. The owner knows all the regulars, often by name. It is a relaxed place, not a super chi-chi eatery.

It's important to know that there are a lot of Italian restaurant standards on the menu; Ana Capri is in central London and there are things that diners expect. The food tends toward northern Italian too. If you want to get what is really good, make sure to ask the owner for his recommendations (including wind) -- he will discretely steer you away from the things he thinks are off that day, or they things that are not really appropriate to their cooking style; he does not necessarily push the expensive. They are very generous with the crudites etc.

Try the veal, especially on a good day the veal chop, or the steaks. And remember, in any London restaurant fish is best on Friday and usually not good on Monday and Tuesday -- and that is just the way it is.
