    Cacio & Pepe.  Outdoor table.
    John S.

    This restaurant was featured in a YouTube video, "20 dining places to visit before you die". The Italian neighborhood in London where this restaurant sits is very picturesque. Make no mistake, this is authentic Italian food, and you're going to pay for it. It's well worth it though, as it saves the expense of a visit to Italy. For dinner, a couple of sides, cocktails, and coffee; we paid 130 pounds for four people. In my mind, the only thing to order here is their signature dish, where the restaurant derives its name. Fresh tagliolini pasta, Cachio&pepe style, in a crispy Parmesan basket. The cachio&pepe style means they twirl the pasta inside a giant cheese wheel until it is completely infused with the essence of cheese. I asked to video this and was denied. Not surprising, because I'm sure every tourist that visits this place has the same request. This dish costs 14.50 pounds and I paired it with a stirred martini. They bring you Castelvetrano olives and crispy flat bread and regular bread to begin the meal. The bread and olives were fresh, the martini dry, and the pasta delicious. I loved how the pasta was drenched in cheese and they give you a generous portion inside the edible Parmesan bowl. This dish tasted as good as any I've had in Italy. The side dish of spinach tasted superb. If you love great Italian food, visit here. Just expect to leave many pounds lighter.

    Outstanding food served with care. The signature pasta dish was infused with a balanced cheese flavor and served in a Parmesan bowl. Outstanding. The garlic roasted broccoli was also a nice pairing. The sea bass dish also looked to be on the next time list. And the prices reasonable considering the quality and warm experience. A top 10 globally on my list, and I travel the world.

    I've had my eye on this place since we decided to go to London and we conveniently ended up getting an airbnb around the corner from this restaurant. Let me tell you - this place does NOT disappoint. Literally everything was amazing and this is hands down one of the best cacio e pepes I've ever had in MY LIFE. If you're visiting London you MUST come here at least once - it's absolutely worth it.

    We come to Casio de Pepe whenever we come to London! The staff is incredibly warm and friendly not to mention FUN! Especially the manager Wuafa and her brother Samir! We missed seeing Francesco though this time! And then there's the delicious Italian food offerings and wine and drinks A "must eat here" several times each visit to London! Thanks for always giving us wonderful evenings out DeeDee & Robin Thomas

    Amazing Italian food in London. My friends stumbled upon this and we were not disappointed. The chicken is fabulous and the drinks are very well done. Overall a great dining experience.

However, I need to warn my fellow Yelpers to stay away from Oliveto if you value Good Pizza! I mean, how hard is it to have good pizza!?! It is a simple staple which I have enjoyed in the US, in China and yes even in Italy. At it's most basic, it should be dough, sauce (doesn't have to be tomato necessarily), mozzarella and maybe some toppings, right? Here is where Oliveto went wrong for my mother and me: 1) they use cheap cheddar cheese - not mozzarella! 2) not a lot of sauce, maybe just enough to color it 3) the dough was soggy and didn't rise (I actually like thin crust, but this was inferior doug and 4) topping that were not as advertised, i.e. prosciutto should not look like and taste like store-bought sliced ham! Service was okay - the men like to talk about customers in their native tongue, thinking that patrons don't know what they are saying about them. We were so glad that we split a pie - most tables got a pie per person. Neither of us could finish this "pizza" honestly. Perhaps the only redeeming thing are the prices - this might be the cheapest choice in an otherwise expensive neighborhood.

    Great, great pizza! Staff is super friendly and efficient in moving tables. The sausage pizza…read moremaybe one of the best I've had in a while.

My mom is, which is why we went but there are rather limited options, at least on pasta courses, that don't include pecorino. 2 - we tried three different pasta dishes. What made them truly stand out was the freshness of the pasta. That said, the sauces weren't remarkable. I tried a special pasta with pecorino, butternut squash, and mushrooms which was nice and not heavy but not partial flavorful. 3 - the ambiance is great if you like a small restaurant- with maybe 10 tables and 500 sq ft of space, this restaurant has character and charm. 4 - the service was outstanding. The staff were kind and efficient. 5 - the dessert was just OK - had some scoops of ice cream and the peanutella was outstanding while the strawberry and the pistachio were just fine. 6 - the appetizer cheese plate was the real highlight of the night here. Fresh cold cuts and cheese with the most wonderful fig jam. All in all; this is a good stop and you certainly won't have a bad experience! Perhaps just not the most notable.

I ordered the lamb chops and personally I wouldn't recommend. For the price, I was disappointed in the size. While in the photo they may look large, the chops were almost the same size as the potatoes on the left. So although they were seasoned really well, you'll still be hungry after. The old fashioned was very pleasant however. Would recommend for sure!

I'm not sure on that, it's just something I thought we caught on to before we left and there started to be RESERVED tents going on the tables. We went and had Scotch Egg, Calamari, Arancini, fish & chips and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. Oh. My. Goodness! First the Scotch Egg. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but it was....ok. It was a little plain. A little tasteless. They could have thrown a few spices into the meat, just a little something. To say that we've made better at home wouldn't be far out. But still good. The calamari was cooked just right. It's what you expect out of a calamari appetizer. Was it the best you'll ever have? Not really. Worth the price? Add it to your appetizer list! The rice balls, which is arancini is, were good. Add a little salt to the top and they were, also, as you'd expect. The fish & chips were exactly as we were hoping when visiting an English Pub for fish & chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, the coating was fabulous, and of course the chips were a perfect compliment to the fish. A great fish & chips experience. The star of the show was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. What a treat! Granted I've nothing to compare it to, this was my first time having it, but whether I've had it before or not THIS was perfection. Perfect texture, the flavour was amazing, the caramel drizzle was perfectly proportioned, and the little bit of ice cream on the side was just perfect. I would go back here simply on this dessert alone. As for the drinks, because, you know, it's a pub....I couldn't say. I don't drink alcohol but my Diet Coke was great! Fresh bottle! ....I suppose I could have gotten a non-alcoholic beer. Wait....did they have non-alcoholic beer there? SOMEONE FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER THERE. The atmosphere was great. I can see how it would be perfect in the evening and on into the night. Very welcoming with a great looking bar.
