We visited late after we could not make the time of our booking. We were welcomed like list travellers and the hospitality turned out to be excellent. Staff were attentive and engaging. The real strength of the restaurant is the food on offer. Extremely tasty...and well presented. This restaurant must be one of the top Italian restaurants in London.More

The worst food I have eaten. I ordered a Mozzarella served with asparagus, cherry tomatoes, orange and crispy ham salad £16. What I was served was a bland buttata floating in oil with basil. A slither of ham and asparagus. See picture. Very disappointedMore

I'm sorry, but if you don't know what you ordered, the best is if you stay at home and make yourself a soup. It was not mozzarella, but burrata and not Buttata. FYI, she is soft inside and is good and very welcome for it....More

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime and had a perfect couple of of hours from the warm greeting through to our final spoon of dessert. The food was interesting and excellent. Generous seared crab for me and burrata for S were both very strong. My...main of Beetroot Risotto was lovely. Finishing off with a very authentic Tiramisu. Our Sicillian wine was recommended and a very good choice and we welcomed the chance to taste the recommended Chianti. Service was attentive and relaxed. If you find yourself in Pimlico or anywhere around Victoria you should seek this place out.More

Very bad experience. The food was very bad , cold and the service was pathetic . The female manager of the restaurant was continuously screaming at her staff, was very rude and was continuously banging the kitchen door with aggression and anger. It was such...a unpleasant experience. We went with our 2 kids for dinner to have a nice meal in London but landed up so upset and disappointed. One of the worst experiences!More

We are staying in Pimlico for the London leg of our vacation, and we’ve eaten at Cacio e Pepe twice in the past three nights, ordering different things for each meal. The food is uniformly superb, equalling anything that we’ve ever had in our many...trips to Italy. The service is attentive, friendly, and efficient.

We came here by chance and managed to get a table - very glad we did! I'm English but spend a lot of time in Italy with my Italian husband and it is refreshing to find a chef who cooks fish (orata) simply but very...well! We had a lovely meal with attentive service - grazie mille!More

We made a booking for 12.30, and when we arrived, the restaurant was not open. We waited for 20 minutes and despite staff inside, they still didn’t open the restaurant. After we gave up and went somewhere else, I was sent a seating confirmation, despite...the fact we were never able to go in. We were really looking forward to this visit, and very disappointed by our experience.More

We are sorry, but the problem has been only that we forgot to take away the tag CLOSED. It was enough to push the door, it was open.

Not sure if the food was quite on the money but good enough and a really friendly and helpful pair of waitresses who made a quick dry Januaru lunch an absolute pleasure.

After eating here quite a few times I was really looking forward to having the new Year's celebration dinner , as the food was always good . Well , to my utter surprise the place was almost empty . As the food started to come...to the table it was obvious that a significant downgrade if the menu had taken place. The food wasn't close to the taste and quality we had on numerous normal days when we ate there. I must say that the cheese basket with the pasta was just as excellent as always , the rest really left a lot to be desired. You don't expect this from this place , and when we take into account what we payed , it certainly felt it was a waste ! I would have preferred to have been told that they weren't going to do the dinner as there were not enough bookings ??? The atmosphere was non existent. It would have been more honest to cancel the evening.More

Hugely overpriced for very underwhelming food. Chose this restaurant based on Gluten Free options - which is merely one type of pasta (fusilli) - tasted shop bought dried rather than hand made fresh. Both dishes were barely luke warm. Small portions. Poor presentation. When I...said the dish was disappointing and cold - the restaurant staff weren’t interested. Merely intent on processing the bill. If you aren’t genuinely keen to provide an excellent gluten free alternative then best not to bother!More

The restaurant is about a 7 min stroll to the Theatre. Book your table for dinner 2 hours or so before curtain up.
