Ristorante Frescobaldi

A fantastic Italian restaurants, one of the best in London. The heritage of the place is felt at every moment and the atmosphere is very nice. It is truly a fine dining restaurant, I recommend the truffle spaghetti and Bolognese. The best dish we had was the truffle pizza- a delicious, delicious dish. Cocktails are great as well. Service is impeccable.

Second time I've been here, both times for celebrations, and I will definitely return. The food and service have been 10/10 both times, the team has kindly prepared a celebration desert platter for those celebrating their birthdays. The staff is always very attentive and professional.

We had white risotto with white truffles, it wasn’t great, no flavour to the risotto at all and it was cold(we added white truffle on) Other dishes were ok, not for the price you pay for. You can have much better pasta other places in London. Service was good.

This was the best Italian food I've ever had. The bread was so soft and savory, the cheese was so nutty and flavorful, and the olives were the best olives I've ever had, taste and texture. And that's just the Starters! The stuffed pasta was incredible and the fish tasted amazing! The staff were incredibly helpful accommodating our 10 month old with a personal chair and extra care. He loved the mushroom soup! Incredible experience overall. A bit on the very expensive side.

Visited Ristorante Frescobaldi for a work lunch for seven of us in May. The food and service was fantastic 👌. I had carpaccio for starter and cod for main. We had cheeses and bread with pre lunch drinks. The wines are amazing too, ask for advice on which to get. I highly recommend

This place is highly recommended if you want good Italian food in Central London. My husband booked this place for my birthday celebration and what can I say the food, the decoration, the atmosphere, the service all are excellent! Staff was really friendly and helpful. Gave us a few recommendations which were spot on! Little bit expensive but worth a try. Great place for a date, Birthday celebration, Anniversary or just family or friends day out for great food, music and drinks. You cannot go wrong with this place!

Very expensive restaurant for very ordinary food! The lady at the entrance has a very arrogant attitude. But waiters were very friendly and nice. Sea food resotto had not pleasant taste from mussels as well as its contained pieces of sand or small rocks. It wasn't fun to eat this dish! Plate of mussels as well had bad taste and smell. The only really tasty was mille-feuille. It was fresh and crunchy. Overall, it doesn't worth even trying. All that you will pay for is Pathos!

Had a really lovely dinner here on a Saturday night in late July. Its a bit of a hidden gem I would say, as its just off the beaten path, but worth a visit. We both has the Pasta with Veal Ragu, and it was lovely. Nice intense flavours, and fresh well cooked pasta. For desert the Ice Cream was great as was the Creme Brulee. Forgot to take pictures but recommended

Aside from the kitschy faux greenery on the ceiling and the pushy wait staff trying to get one to purchase more drinks, the food is mediocre. The prosciutto was the best item we had at the table despite being served with honeydew melon and not cantaloupe as the menu stated. The truffle pasta was gummy and jarred truffles. London is a large city and there are too many wonderful choices. Skip this one.

Was recommended this restaurant by my hotel concierge. At first was skeptical about the low rating but instead it exceeded my expectations. Workers are very nice and friendly. Drinks were great. We ordered the Burrata with tomato and an artichoke salad for starters and it was very yummy. For main we ordered breaded veal, fish, mushroom risotto and they even allowed my daughter to customized her own pasta which she loved. Highly recommend trying this place out. Our server Luanna was so kind and helpful, letting us know what we should try on the menu. Manager Raz was very welcoming as well. Will most definitely come back if I am ever in London again.

Went last night. Staff pushed expensive cocktails, pasta was just average, sand in my clams, and took forever to get a check. When they realize you are not going to buy an expensive bottle of wine, service, at least what it was, fell off. Then they began breaking the restaurant down as people were still eating. Expected much more. Staff training is needed. Too bad. Many other fantastic offerings in London.

amazing! must go when in london. amazing food and service. manager and waiters made our experience SO memorable. wine list is also so so great and extensive. 10/10 RECOMMEND!

This is a quite nice Italian restaurant in London. Order: tagliolini with black truffle; arugula and Parmigiano salad; apple crumble dessert AVOID: crab cakes; tiramisu This is a classic Italian restaurant in London. The decor is cute and maybe a bit kitschy. All servers are friendly and eager to please. The bread comes out fast and is served with the Frescobaldi olive oil (one of my personal favorites). I greatly enjoy salads, so I ordered their arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano salad. It was simple but nice. Make sure to ask for their balsamic vinegar - it's thick and sweet and really completes the salad. Do not get their seasonal artichoke and potato soup - it lacks all flavor and is extremely thin. For my entree, I ordered the tagliolini with black truffles. I absolutely adore freshly made tagliolini, and this was a perfect example. The sauce is a creamy butter sauce and fresh black truffles from Italy are generously shaved over the top. Take a minute to really enjoy the smell of the truffles. This dish was superb. The penne arrabiata is one of my favorite dishes when I go to Italy, and though this was a nice representation of it, I did not find it to be spectacular. My companions ordered the crab cake appetizer for their entrees. THIS WERE AWFUL. They tasted like flavorless potato cakes. I honestly didn't see any crab for all the filling. If you truly enjoy lump crab meat, avoid this at all costs. Easily one of the most disappointing dishes I've tried in London. My companions switched to the tagliolini with truffle after trying my dish. I will say, although the waiters were quick bringing out their replacement dishes - until one of my companions brought it to their attention, they included the cost of all pastas and all crab cakes on the bill. Dessert - the tiramisu is very pretty, but not very good. It doesn't gave that nice custard-like filling and instead tasted like soaked lady fingers in espresso and thick whipped cream. The Apple crumble wasn't at all what I expected, but I found it to be very nice. One companion loved their cappuccino they got with dessert. After dessert they bring jars of Italian candy which is cute.

Date: 01.08.18 Time: 2pm Not too crowded but i like that it is just off Regent St and not crowded, decor and design is very pleasant and you are given both the a la carte menu and set linch menu. Both went for a set lunch menu and it was a good choice with the waiter able to take out the clams in the spaghetti for me and add garlic which was a nice touch and shows also it is made fresh. Provided a great selection of bread to start and wish i had more time to enjoy them but had a time schedule and only an hour to order and eat and pay which we managed so a testament to the service as well. Bear in mind there is an outdoor area as well which is nice during the recent nice weather we are having. The lunch set menu came in at £25.00 per person for 2 courses. Just had two course set menu this time and started with the Ham and Melon but you have three options for starters and mains to choose from and looking at their website this seems to change as the website menu is not accurate. Ham and Melon - Really refreshing and good portion of ham which was light and delicious with great smoked flavour and the melon was fresh and just right. A great starter. Spaghetti with chilli and clams - I substituted the clams with just garlic. Not the biggest of portions but not small either so for Lunch it is just right so you don't feel too bloated. Spaghetti cooked well and nice light flavour with hint of chilli and good helping of garlic sauce but not too much. I really enjoyed the dish that tasted authentic and light. Not tomato based like so many other resturant and nothing wrong with that but its nice to be able to get a more authentic taste. The menu does seem skewed to sea food and as I don't really have sea food i was a bit worried but as they were able to accommodate and the food was really nice I was glad I went and asked. In summary a nice place to visit and very convenient just a stones throw away from the hustle of Regent Street. Please decor and good attentive staff so worth a visit. Hope to go again and experience more of the menu and give a more detailed review.

I leave only 2 stars because the first visit was great, except the Sommelier was so incredibly rude. Food was great, staff was very friendly and professional. The second visit, only a few days later was ridiculous l. The hostess was friendly and very accommodating. The waiter miss understood our order, miss understood salad and only brought one., we kindly said no problem and moved on. Then he never brought our entree and insisted we didn't order it, even though we were sharing it. He never checked in for 30 minutes so we had to flag down another waiter. Our waiter didn't apologize, insisted we didn't order an entree and offered to bring the entree but explained it would take 20 minutes. After 2 hours we were done. After all this the sommelier gave us more attitude, reminiscent of the previous visit with snarl and a rude and condescending "good night" off the list! Bummer because it's a beautiful restaurant with great Italian food

Service is horrible. Waitress kept strangely starring out window at us. Very strange! Hard to even get a smile out of any staff! I have visited high end Italian restaurants all over the world and this one is bottom 10%. Ambiance is great, also great location. Calamari was OK. Chef not willing to do any modification requests to dishes. Bad sign! Do not order seafood risotto, horrible! Lobster linguine is good. Overall, not worth price.

I don't know which restaurant the other reviewers went to but this place was fantastic. We live in NYC and have eaten at many of the city's best Italian restaurants and this is right there with them. The atmosphere is great, service was exceptional and the food was delicious. The dessert w the complimentary sweets and biscottis were the perfect pair w our tea. I would highly recommend and would go back whenever I'm in London

Nice average Italian restaurant , prices relatively high for such restaurant. The Caprese salad and yellow spicy tuna as first dishes were good. The olive oil is great!!! The best I ever tasted. The main courses were ok (seabass , sole, and lobster risotto ) the red wine was great from Toscana mix of Shiraz, merlot and cabaret. Nice tiramisu which was presented differently.

Notwithstanding a recommendation from and reservation through one of London's 5-star hotels, the service and treatment was third world and grossly sub-standard. The manager, despite only 7 tables occupied on a Sunday evening, never found the time to approach our table a single time. Not even after a spilled glass of red wine caused glass and wine to be spread everywhere. The wine selection was great. The pastas for the first course were very good. The mains were extremely disappointing. Dover Sole was served very dry and tasteless. The Pork Chop Milanese was equally dry and flavorless. Exacerbating all were the interminable delays in service; from obtaining the attention of a disinterested waitstaff to order wine.......and then to order food....to pouring and then re-filling of our wine (which red wine, carafed, was inexplicably parked some 4-5 empty tables away)....to requesting our check, etc. And at no time throughput was the manager or even a captain to be seen. VERY VERY disappointing to have this experience. Buyer Beware.
