“ A very cozy and amazing atmosphere, perfect served the waitress had an eye for every detail. The food was amazing. I’ll recommend the place 10000% ”
“ So we came tonight at 1930 for a anniversary meal, we arrived at 1920 and were seated straight away with a choice of indoors or outdoors, we chose outdoors as it was a lovely evening. A server immediately offered us water and a drinks menu and it was ice cold and clean glasses all round. We ordered food and drinks almost immediately as we had prechecked the menu. The drinks we ordered was delivered really quickly certainly within five minutes and we're to the standard expected. The starters were served within 10 minutes and they were delicious! We had bruschetta and garlic bread and it was fresh hot and delicious, it had a real Mediterranean feel and tasted like it had been prepared immediately for serving. The mains we ordered were spaghetti carbonara and tagliatelle Bolognese and they were exquisite. Fresh pasta used in both, sauces were the finest examples I could find this side of the Chanel and the flavours were balanced wonderfully. The servers were very attentive and it felt like a really personal experience, the only thing I could add which would give it 5 stars all round would be some music but arguably the overall atmosphere of Leicester Square provides a great back drop. I fully recommend a visit if you want a authentic Italian experience in London. ”
“ Went here before theatre. Great vibe, friendly and caring staff, comfort food made with love. The restaurant itself was clean, and the decoration set the scene and made it inviting. I'm definitely returning here. ”
“ What a gem of a find, right near the theatre we visited. Even though they were really busy and we didn't have a reservation they booked us in, sent us off with a little device which buzzed when our table was ready . By the time we'd had a little look around it was ready for us. Food was amazing and service fabulous ”
“ Staff were super nice and friendly. The place is so dog friendly that dogs were served water before we even placed our order. Food was delicious. Great atmosphere in general. Highly recommended ”
“ This is a nice and pleasant place to eat it's is reasonably priced and the food is served in a timely manner. The waiters make sure to ask if you are ok during your time there it's also very clean but small inside there is also chairs and table so you can eat outside, it's family friendly and child friendly too. ”
“ Great little place right near Leicester sq. Loved the meatballs ,pasta and pizza. Great customer service at this place, very friendly vibe. Nice touch with the Vespa outside the restaurant and decor indoors is equally good. Very easy to get to, perfect for pre-theatre, allow yourself 2 hours and let them know you have a show to go to and you will be well looked after !! ”
“ We dine in here last wednesday. We were meant to go to other italian restaurant however this young lady from vespa proactively approached us in a friendly manner. She didnt force us or anything. She just offered assistance and guess what. We ended up here for our dinner. Food is so tasty and authentic. It looks few on pictures specially the pasta but i'm telling you its a lot. (For me). Aside from the food. The service and ambience is really great. Family friendly should i say. Thank you vespa! ”
