Il Cucciolo Restaurant

Loveliest little Italian restaurant in central London. Best Italian food I have tasted in London, but most importantly... They haf the friendliest and most personal staff I have met in a long time!

Lovely food, good service, great choice of food (for veggies as well) and reasonably priced. Easy to book online and the table was ready when we arrived. Would definitely recommend.

Booked to eat before a gig at the Pizza Express Jazz Club. A lovely authentic Italian restaurant. Lovely attentive staff and the food was excellent. Plentiful, tasty and very well presented. Will go again when we come to see Motown the Musical!

We went as family of four with teenagers. Had A la Carte menu. Plenty of choice available. Good service, good food. Had a great time. Will recommend.

Thanks for a fab night, the Staff we’re very friendly and attentive! Excellent food and wine. We wil definitely be returning in the new year. Thanks

Very nice meal. Friendly staff and good service. The food was well presented and piping hot. Service charge added though, and I thought this should be optional.

Good food ,great atmosphere.Only slight drawback was closeness of other tables but this did not really diminish our enjoymemt of a good place to eat after theatre

Excellent traditional Italian restaurant in the heart of Soho. Friendly service, tasty home-cooked food (fish soup was excellent!) and a nice little touch at the end of the panacotta present to take away (I guess because it's Christmas?)

It is always nice to come back to this restaurant, nice polite staff, nice food. 100% recommended. Prices are good too. We will be back soon!

Good service and good food in a very full restaurant- friendly, family run and reasonably priced. Glad we booked as many were turned away at the door.

Great food and service. Very friendly family run restaurant. Excellent value for money set menus. You get the feel of a little Italy in the heart of Soho.

Lovely food! And good to support an independent restaurant. If anything the portion sizes were a bit big - a welcome change from a leaf with a bit of drizzle. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great find, needed a quick pre-theatre meal and couldn’t have found a better Italian. Service was prompt with super quality food served with a smile.

Brilliant old fashioned (in the nicest possible way!) family run Italian. Excellent food with good friendly service. Highly recommended, this is our third visit and will certainly be going again when we visit London

Lovely old school Italian, ideal for relaxed catch-up with friends, didn’t feel rushed at all. Delicious pasta and tiramisu and very drinkable house red. Good value for the soho location.

Great food. Lots of choice. A friendly, family run restaurant. Convenient for theatres. Not too pricey. Quick service. Good wine list. Comfortable and cosey surroundings

Lovely food in a lovely restaurant! The price was good and some very nice wines on the menu as well! All in all very enjoyable.

We booked the restaurant for a pre theatre meal and were not disappointed. The service was excellent, welcoming and efficient. We booked off the a la carte menu and all three courses were plentiful and tasty. The house white wine was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Superb food. Wonderful staff - full of characters and kindess. Given the location, quite reasonably priced. I will certainly be going there again. A fantastic place.

Good food, quick service and reasonable price. Perfect for a meal between the two parts of Harry Potter Cursed Child, just minutes from the theatre.

Visited on a Wednesday early evening. Ideal theatre location, happy and friendly staff, good atmosphere, delicious homemade food - who could ask for more in central London!

Really lovely food , good atmosphere, friendly fast service, ideal for lunch before a show, very reasonably priced we would definitely recommend and will be going again soon

Had the prawn starter which was nicely presented and tasted good. The pizza I had the for main was exceptional one of the best I’ve had in a UK restaurant. Only thing that stopped me giving top marks was the main too a while to come out but other than that brilliant experience

we Really enjoyed our mean here. There is a comprehensive menu and the service was great. We all loved the food. The location is great for the Piccadilly /Leicester Square theatres.

Lovely cosy restaurant and great food! Went in with two children and the staff were great with them. Only downside, there is no children’s menu.

We likes everything about the restaurant. Great pizza, great wine and great straff. Highly recommended. Two grownups and four kids. Location is perfect in Soho.

Great food, Really helpful staff. Made us feel so at home, was ok that my 2 girls shared an adult meal between them. Fantastic restaurant

Excellent meal. Staff were attentive and friendly and we were not rushed in any way to vacate the table. Lovely end to a good day out in London

Fabulous food, friendly staff, clean toilets. All very good, reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend and return. ‘Best lasagne ever tasted’ was a comment from our party!

Visited this restaurant prior to a performance at the Donmar Warehouse. This is a small intimate restaurant with excellent food and fantastic service all at a reasonable price.

Very tasty food, ample but not over-sized portions. Service good - not hurried nor over attentive. Cosy seating but not cramped. Dessert selection mostly "bought in" but home made tiramasu very nice.

Lovely small, friendly restaurant that serves great food. Due to a points failure on the DLR we were running quite late but thankfully the restaurant held our table for us. The service was quick, efficient & courteous & the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food, a lovely family run business in the centre of London, and excellent value for money - we will be back! Thank you! :-)

First class food & service - a delightful taste of Italy in the heart of Soho ! Long may it continue to prosper & provide such great value.

Very good service and excellent food, I would definitely recommend to my family and friends. What a lovely little gem of a restaurant, top stuff!

We had a nice experience when we visited the restaurant on 02/08/2018. The food was very good and the service was very friendly. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating was the fact that we had to ask for cutlery a few times after each course (which the waiter/waitress kept forgetting to bring us). With our main pasta dishes that we ordered the staff didn't give us any spoons to eat with and I found it hard to eat my main course with just a fork. We did ask once for a spoon but as none arrived we continued with our dinner without making a fuss. All in all it was a good experience.

Friendly staff and good old fashioned Italian food. Nice pre- dinner drinks, tasty starters and lovely veal Milanese for main course overall very good value and will return

Initial thought was that it is an ordinary old Italian restaurant. But our concern turned to delight. The service was attentive and friendly. Our food was above expectations. Although there is no children's menu, they were happy to serve a single dish split into two. For our post theatre lunch, we couldn't have chosen better.

A really nice restaurant in a great location. Tasty food, generous sized portions and lovely, low-key setting that feels miles away from the overly hyped restaurants of Soho.

An absolute pleasure from the moment we walked in to the restaurant. The welcoming and attentive staff ensured we did not go without, and the food exceeded my somewhat high expectations- will be back!

We visit this restaurant regularly. On Saturday they were busy and we had limited time. They served us an excellent meal with great efficiency so that we did not feel rushed at any point

A lovely little restaurant ideally located for pre- and post-theatre meals. Excellent service and delicious food! The size of the pepper grinder needs to be seen to be believed!

Great little restaurant - we ate there between the two showings of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and service was prompt and the food was delicious

Excellent Italian food and fast service. Convenient to theatre district. Only complaint was the amount of time we needed to wait for our check after dinner.

A lovely quaint restaurant. The food was very good and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning on our next theatre outing in town.

Fantastic little gem of a restaurant. Staff could not have been more accommodating. Made our trip really special for a 50th celebration. Food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back 😊

The quality of the food was outstanding, the selection of wine excellent and the staff did everything they could to make it a very pleasant experience

Good food friendly service and great value for money and we would not hesitate to eat here again if we are out in the West end

Nice warm welcome and friendly service. Food oversalted for our taste and desserts not made in house, otherwise a good follow-on to our theatre trip.

The food is excellent, real traditional Italian cooking, the staff are welcoming and friendly and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. One of my favourites in Soho. Highly recomendad
