Isn't this gorgeous!?! And it tasted even better than it looked.
Casey Q.

Another great example of the "outstanding neighborhood joint" you find scattered across every big city across the globe. A buddy of mine whose business has an office in London considers this his local, so when we were meeting up for dinner on a recent trip, this was where he steered me. The joint was jumping, but we managed to squeeze ourselves into a two-top in one of the dining rooms. My friend ordered pasta carbonara, and I (Madame Keto) went with a steak, which was prepared beautifully, and exactly to my doneness requirements - I basically ask that the meat be frightened by a propane torch, and then brought to me quivering in terror - so this place is on my London favorites list now.

Date night with a Yelp! elite

We were introduced to La Barca by a friend about 12 year ago. Since then this has become my go to place for family, out of town guests and clients. Nobody has ever had a bad thing to say.

Exceptional service The food and service were both on point. I had a soup and salad and both were fresh and cooked well.

Review Highlights - La Barca Ristorante

2 courses each with half a bottle of wine, and coffee came to around £80, not really in my student budget.

My friends and I went to this restaurant last-minute based on Yelp reviews, and I'm so thrilled we…read moredid. The service was incredibly friendly (Ana was so sweet!) and the food was incredible. I got the squid ink passatelli and was completely blown away. I would eat spoonfuls of their marinara sauce by itself. Their tiramisu for dessert was amazing as well. This ended up being one of my favorite restaurants we ate at while in London and I can't wait to hopefully go back someday!

This is a small, high-class Italian restaurant at the Parliament end of Great Peter Street…read more Unsurprisingly, it's a favourite for lunches with the Westminster village of politicians, lobbyists, trade associations and the like. The food is upmarket modern Italian, made with fresh ingredients, many sourced directly from Italy. I found the pasta to be fresh and tasty, with a wider choice of ingredients than I would normally come across - Cappellacci (little pasta pies) with potato & mozzarella, broccoli puree & pecorino di fossa cheese, for example. Vegetarians are reasonably well catered for, and they indicate a number of 'nearly vegetarian' dishes that can be made fully vegetarian on request, which is a nice idea. Soups and starters range from £9 to £10.50 and mains from £13.50 for pasta to £22 for steak or wild turbot (extra side dishes - vegetables or salad - come in at £3.50 per portion). Desserts come in at £6.50, but they are known for their Italian cheese-boards, featuring cheeses otherwise hard to find in UK restaurants: this varies from £7.50 for 3 cheeses, to a waist-expanding £11.50 for 7 cheeses (but can also be shared!). These are clearly very popular indeed and we saw several groups indulging. The wine list is also substantial - over 130 including champagnes - and this is a rather select mixture of French and Italian wines. A 12.5% service charge is added, so expect a two course dinner with wine to come in at around £50-60 a head: a simple lunch should be about £25 or so. I'd heard that service has been a problem for others, but my experience is that it was very good: if anything, the bread and water waiters were a little too attentive. We had to wait a little too long to order, but the food then came quickly, as did the coffee and the bill when we asked for it. It was all pretty friendly, as well - not as snooty as some places around Westminster can be. The price will make it mostly a business location, and it's clearly very popular for that: lunch bookings are essential. The tables are a little close together in places for a special intimate meal for two (some tables are better than others for this), but then again, who wants to risk having a politician on the next table on their special date? But they are happy to cater for groups and their website lists various group menus, which range from £30 to £44 per person (without drinks, sides or service). Note: they are open only Monday-Friday.
