    Crab Tagliatelle and spaghetti with tomato sauce
    Nina V.

    We found this spot after a long day of sightseeing and wanting some tasty pasta. The food was good and authentic. The staff was super friendly and attentive and the location is great. It is not overly busy as it's off the beaten path a bit but has a good location.

    Food is good but not really remarkable. It's good to go once but I wouldn't go back. The staff was really friendly and we felt very welcome.

    A good alternative in an area where it is hard to eat welll for a decent price. Al Duca serves a traditional Italian menu with a good mix of antipasti, primi (starters) and secondi (main courses). I had the spaghetti with crab which was very copious and ok (could have been less pasta and tastier) followed by the tagliatta (beef cut in small slices) with spinach and potatoes. The meat was really excellent and served with rocket salad perfectly dressed with real balsamico. The chianti was good too and the service ok. The deco is less than average as it's pretty basic but their menu (£25 for 2 courses and £27 for 3) is good value for money and quite varied. But by the end of the evening, adding our good chianti in, we ended up paying £60 per head which felt expensive. A good place for pre-theatre or lunch if you go for their fixed menus. NB: Note that they got a bad reputation in teh past 2 years as the chef has left, Michele is now back and sat at our table telling us about his food etc. That was quite fun and felt a bit like being in Italy where these things happen all the time. Try it and report back!

    We went to Al-duca with a party of 15. The food was delicious and the service was great in a very comfortable setting.

    The decor is nothing to write home about, however I found the service friendly and the food quite good.

    Rude staff. Subpar food. Corked wine. Can't recommend this restaurant. Not very accommodating.

    Stopped by Cecconi's while in Mayfair and had a really nice experience…read more The service stood out right away. Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made the whole meal feel easy and relaxed without being too formal. Food wise, everything was really good. I ordered the cacio e pepe and it was cooked perfectly. Simple dish, but when it's done right, it really hits. The drinks were also great and ended up being the perfect start before walking around the neighborhood afterward. Overall, just a really solid Italian spot in a beautiful part of London.

    Beautiful space with extensive outdoor seating. Unfortunately it can't be reserved and was full of…read morepeople having drinks, taking advantage of the unseasonably nice weather. The hostesses were nice but spunky, taking no crap whatsoever. Our waitress was very nice. We had a stop and chat with her midway through the meal. There was a variety of wines at a variety of price points. The primitivo got the job done. The restaurant presented an excellent bread basket to start. It was delicious- a great contrast to the notoriously bland bread that we recently had in Florence. We shared an order or grilled asparagus to start, in a somewhat futile attempt to be healthy. It was pretty good, but there were a lot more interesting choices at the top of the menu. My wife had the tortellaci with ricotta and spinach. It was very good but was sitting in a pool of butter. I had tagliatelle Bolognese. It was good. Very nice space with very good food. Keep the outdoor seating in mind for a nice day.

    Yum! Delightful, intimate,…read more Enjoyed the pasta de fruit. Lovely flavors. Small seafood bits. The clams were Very small. Close to my hotel. Would come again. .

    My husband and I stumbled (quite literally) into Bocconcino after hitting a wall of jet lag and…read morehunger. The hostess took pity on us and allowed us spots at the bar without reservations. The bartender was absolutely charming and amazing, and he made a truly outstanding Ramos Gin Fizz (a cocktail from New Orleans that few people know how to make, and even fewer want to make). Not sure how that cocktail came up, but he seriously deserves a round of applause for making not one, but two. He truly revived my soul! I split the gazpacho and short rib pasta with my husband. The short rib pasta was magically both light and hearty; it was exactly what we needed after 18 hours of travel. We frequently travel, and I am highly skeptical of Italian food when outside of Italy. Bocconcino was an authentic experience that rivals many of our meals in Rome. Maybe it was jet lag, but I did almost lock myself into the water closet and luckily after a few minutes manage to unlock the stall door without calling for assurance. I suggest visiting with a friend for gossip and security! As far as ambiance, there was great people watching with the Saturday evening patrons; it was an experience in learning about London 'going out' fashion, and watching the very attractive staff interact with customers was a prime education in upper class customer service/flirting. My parting comment is that the bartender stole my heart and I hope to have another of his delicious beverages on a future trip!
