Il Cucciolo Restaurant

What a fabulous find. I wanted a non chain, authentic Italian restaurant for our recent trip to London. Il Cucciolo Restaurant in Soho, certainly delivered. Prices were really reasonable for London, and food quality and service couldn't be faulted. It is a small restaurant, but has a lovely bustling atmosphere. The chicken risotto was one of the best I've ever had. My husband and son said their Pizza's were as good as some that we've eaten in Italy. Thank you.

Dine here regularly and never let's us down. No thrill great food 😋

The owners worked really well together. Food was lovely. Service great.

loved it - food good as always - friendly staff - will be back

I always look forward to a meal at IL Cucciolo. It is a popular restaurant, impressively full for a Monday lunchtime. Yesterday there were 6 of us, celebrating my Birthday. We had garlic bread and garlic & mozarella bread to share and main courses were Spaghetti Carbonara, Salmon, Mushroom Risotto, Veal Milanese, Lasagna & Spaghetti Vongole. All plates were emptied as the food was delicious. We drank a 2022 Primitivo was enjoyed too. The meal ended with most of us having dessert, most of which are bought in but nothing wrong with that as they are very enjoyable. My dessert was presented with a candle and Happy Birthday was sung. Also, as it was my Birthday, we were treated to an after dinner drink.

Nice atmosphere, good service and good food at reasonable prices.

It was very busy for pre theatre dinners. Food was very good, tables a little cramped together. Overall good value for money.

Fantastic little gem of a restaurant in the heart of the theatre district. Wonderful, freshly cooked food at a very reasonable price. Atmosphere just lovely. Highly recommend

Good food, good service and value for money. Restaurant is accessible by underground station Leicester Sq

Very pleasant, good service , nice ambience , good meal. Coming back.

Love this restaurant, really great food, never had a bad meal.

Lovely food as always. I would recommend eating here -

Delicious food and drink with great service. Would definitely recommend

Real italian restaurant, loved the food and table settings, lunch is always better with linen.

Good food on two occasions we will return when in London

Proper authentic Italian food in an amazing location at a very affordable price. The negroni I had was one of the best I've ever had and that goes for the food too. The portions were huge and the food itself was delicious. I will definitely be back.

Very delicious. And service was very fast. Had a 3 course meal in just over an hour.

We had a lovely time at this very pleasant restaurant.

I have eaten here several times, both on my own or with family members and friends. I have never failed to be impressed. Will certainly return on my next trip to London

Excellent food in a restaurant with great atmosphere. Was slightly spoilt by some very noisy customers but great once they had left.

Excellent food at a good price. My go to pre theatre restaurant

Fantastic food and great service, would highly recommend. Top class !!

Brilliant visit yet again. Our go to restaurant when we go to the theatre in this area.

Very flexible staff, they accommodated an additional person to our group that was not expected. Perfect “family restaurant”. We will go back!

Very good for pre-theatre, but leave enough time for the hand-written bill.

Great meal and very attentive staff.It was very busy as pre theatre time,but you could tell the staff are used to the pressure of a busy and popular restaurant

Had friends with us, their first visit, they said best Italian meal they had had, Many thanks

Great food super fast service. Long delay with getting our reserved table though and no apology.

Perfect location for our dinner between Parts 1 & 2 of the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Food was great and portions were very generous. Would recommend

Prompt friendly service and the food was great plus great location 😊

The restaurant was very busy so the service was a little slower than we expected, but all in all it was fine. Great food.

What a find! A traditional, independent small Italian restaurant, offering good quality, freshly prepared food at a good price. Will definitely return.

Lovely family run restaurant. Warm welcome excellent food with a great selection on the menu. Good prices fir food and wine considering the location

A Cozy place, good atmosphere and very good and well prepared food, and a fair price. Will recommend this place I London, and we will definitely be back, next time we visit London.

This is our favourite restaurant when we visit London. Friends that we have taken previously now make this their first choice

We had a very good Italian supper pre-theatre, just the ticket!

Delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Great value for central London

Perfect real Italian fare. Minestrone Soup & Cannelloni always a test of a genuine Italian offer.

Excellent food.Good wine. All round enjoyable experience. I would recommend this restaurant.

Lovely warm welcoming family restaurant. Go here regularly and they always remember us. Food top notch. No bells and whistles just great food and service.

Service was not great and prices far too high for the quakity of food

Easy to book a table on line, good food and good service.

We booked for pre-theatre supper and service was prompt and food came quickly. Pasta was fresh, hot and tasty. Service was efficient and friendly. Good experience all tound

One of the items was burned and over cooked to the point that it was inedible. To their credit management took it off the bill immediately.

Always look forward to our visits to Il Cucciolo. There is a wide ranging choice of dishes from the menu, the food is excellent and well priced for the West End of London and the service is always fast and friendly. Well worth a visit!
