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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Great little family Italian in the heart of London. Honest authentic food one of the best homemade tiramisu I’ve had all the veal dishes were excellent.All served in a typical Italian family way that makes you feel that you are sitting in a small town in Italy not the bustling centre of London

I have been going here for over 15 years and the food never disappoints. The bread (Bruschetta and Garlic Mozarella) is excellent and the Spaghetti Melanzane is my favourite pasta dish. Best Italian I have been to in London and rivals many I have visited in Italy. Great spot for pre/post theatre supper.

For the starter we had the Sardines. They were so delicious. Simply seasoned and cooked. For the main we had the prawn linguine with chilli and the mushroom risotto. Again, both dishes were delicious. A point to note - because the linguine has chilli in it; it might be a bit spicy for some - but it was just right for me. Reasonably priced. I would go back again.

The staff and food at Cucciolo are great. There is a warm atmosphere emitted from the staff. The garlic bread con mozzarella was really tasty and well balanced. I had the penne Arabiatta which although simple was full of flavour and was a decent size. I will return for sure.

My wife And I had two courses. There was a bit of a wait.....about 30 minutes between them which made us a little edgy that they had forgotten the second course. However all was well and it eventually. Turned up. Our main courses were veal and the house giant prawn pasta dishes. Both were excellent. Overall a good meal with good service.

We had a lovely pre theatre lunch at this beautifully traditional Italian trattoria. My Scaloppa Miilinese was perfectly served and my companion's linguine was, I am told, delicious. Our 5 year old's Marherita pizza was gobbled up and the service and ambience was quiet unobtrusive and family friendly. Prices were par for the area but good value. Very highly reccomended. I'll definitely return.
