64 Old Compton Street

Completely fell in love with this place! Really lovely interior, atmosphere was cosy and intimate. The service was excellent, very quick pace for such a busy restaurant, and the staff were incredibly friendly and funny too. And best of all, the food! It’s been a long time since I’ve been with a group where we all agreed the food was perfection. We ordered the penne arrabiata, spinach ravioli, and spaghetti meatballs. All relatively simple dishes that we’ve had in many other places and they are average at best, nothing special usually. But 64 Old Compton Street knocked it out of the park with each three dishes. The flavours were incredible, we all spent a good few minutes after our first bite either complete silent so we could devour our food or just expressing how incredible the food was. Solid 10/10, I highly recommend and we will be returning!

Had a family lunch today, what a wonderful find! Gorgeous interior, amazing food, superb customer service! Thank you for a super experience. It was a relaxed atmosphere, we felt very well cared for. Will definitely be back.

I recently dined at 64 Old Compton Street, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! First and foremost, the staff were amazing super friendly and attentive. I especially want to give a shout-out to a lovely girl from Canada who made our visit even more enjoyable. Her warm personality added a special touch to our dining experience! Now, onto the food: it’s clear that this place takes its Italian cuisine seriously. I ordered the truffle pizza, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, making it a standout dish. For dessert, I had the affogato, which was equally delightful it's hard to go wrong with that classic combination of ice cream and coffee! A lovely surprise was when I ordered an Americano; I was given a cute Italian biscuit alongside it. It’s those little touches that make the meal feel even more authentic and special. Plus, I appreciated having free matches available, adding to the Italian charm of the place. The only downside was the condition of the toilets, which were a bit smelly and not as clean as I would have hoped. It’s a small quibble, but still worth mentioning. Overall, aside from the minor issue with the restrooms, everything else was perfect. 64 Old Compton Street is a wonderful spot for a genuine Italian meal, and the friendly staff only enhances the experience. I look forward to returning and trying more of their menu!

What a wonderful restaurant, the food was fabulous, I loved the decor and it was wonderfully festive. The pomegranate cocktail is a definite must! We will definitely be back!

64 Old Compton Street is a proper Soho experience, full of life and character. This family run spot feels like you’ve stepped into a place where food is made with love and every detail matters. We started with burrata and heritage tomatoes - fresh and simple, but so good. Then came the aubergine parmigiana and the goat’s cheese, beetroot, walnut & pear salad, which honestly could be my daily go to. For mains, the penne arrabbiata was perfectly spicy, just enough to excite the palate, and the homemade beef lasagna was rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. All perfectly paired with a chilled bottle of rosé. Desserts were a dream: pistachio tiramisu and salted caramel cheesecake with pistachio ice cream. But what really made the night was Lisa and the team. This place isn’t just about amazing food, it’s about heart and soul. It’s a genuine, human Soho kind of thing that you fall for. Looking forward to visiting back.

The parmigiana was delicious. But the service wasn’t the best, we were told we would have a table inside and ended up outside. The waiters made us feel like we were just bothering them.

Perfect place for dinner if you’re seeing a show! The food was excellent and so is the location. However, if you have places to be after dining, allow yourself additional time as service was a bit slow (but still incredibly friendly!) The lasagna was some of the best i’ve had, and a surprising star was the super fresh salad! I also ordered the carbonara and it was delicious as well. I definitely recommend making an advance reservation as inside seats maybe 20 and I believe there are only two table in addition to that outside! You may get lucky as a walk in, but perhaps be prepared to wait.

It was so lovely, I was served by a lovely woman who was very attentive and also a lovely man making my mocktails. Food was amazing I definitely recommend
