We decide to go here only to avoid the rain! It was random and I wouldn’t say their food or service was anything special. It simply is a restaurant catered to tourists who crave Italian food. The staff was friendly and the service was decent. We never tried to food there, but according the the other reviews on Unilocal,it can be better. We ordered some cake and wine. Their wine selection was very Italian based. Which is great for those who crave white wine from Italy. I’m more of a Italian red wine fan, but I wasn’t feeling it when we went. The cake selection was very«retro.» Chocolate cake vs Strawberry Cheesecake? I would prefer Chocolate at this restaurant.

Fantastic Italian food for my family for a late night dinner. Carbonera is awesome! I would recommend for anyone looking for a good itialian meal.

Il n’est pas dans mes habitudes de donner des commentaires negatifs, en general je prefere passer mon chemin. Mais la, il est important de preciser que meme si les serveurs sont tres sympas et la carte assez variee, la qualite de la nourriture n’est PASDUTOUT au rendez-vous. Sur 4 plats(lasagnes au boeuf, pizza 4 saisons, burger au boeuf et risotto) un seul(le risotto) etait a peu pres potable tant en qualite qu’en quantite! C’est un ratio qui malheureusement vaut d’etre partage. Le burger né devrait meme pas porter ce nom. Un steack aux oignons surgele, une claquette de fromage pas fondue, une tranche de tomates, une feuille de salade, un pain presque macdo, et pas de sauce! Le prix, pas vraiment cheap, est surement du a la l’occalisation uniquement! Peut etre sommes nous juste venus un mauvais soir, mais malheureusement ce sera suffisant pour né pas retenter l’experience! Desolee Cucina restaurant, mais c’est un zero pointe pour cette fois!

This place is not authentic italian. Steak was over cooked, their«new» menu item — eggplant parmesan was very bitter, and the seafood pasta tasted like a frozen dinner. The service was just as horrible. We ended up here our 2nd night in London as it is across the street from our hotel. If you are looking for authentic italian I highly recommend La Barca, 80 – 81 Lower Marsh… otherwise you are better off eating at the mini mart next door to it, even with better service.

Nice ambiance, service a bit clunky. We had breakfast, huge portions, but not that great. There are better places for breakfast.

My husband and I ate here because it was directly across from our hotel and near the London Eye. It’s definitely a place to try 1x… But I’m not sure I would go back. I had the bangers and mash, and my hubby had the chicken breast. The food was decent enough but maybe a little overpriced in my opinion. The service was great though and the atmosphere was fun. The table settings were definitely big enough for average size folks, but I did see some larger people struggle a wee bit.

Nice quality Italian — slightly cheesy Godfather/Casino/Goodfellas theme going on with the décor but still a nice place. Good range of the usual pasta/pizza and fish/meat dishes with generous portions and nice wine selection. Reasonable prices and serves food til late — we turned up at 10pm and customers turned up after us. Good service and located opposite the Premier Inn London County Hall and the London Eye.

Great breakfasts, good pasta and paella, nice staff and classy restaurant. Also a handy location. Can get very busy at times though.
