    Complimentary bread and oil
    Julie V.

    Delightful and cozy. Came here after a long day of travel followed by a long day at the Natural History Museum. The atmosphere is warm and the food feels simple with complex flavor. I had the tagliatelle and the sauce was rich and went well with the 3 meat blend on top. Very close to a tube station as well.

    This family run Italian restaurant is located right opposite the Victoria and Albert Museum making it a great stop for lunch. This place serves good pastas and delicious desserts. The portions are generous and good value for price. Service is attentive and friendly with the Italian waitstaff and owners.. IMO ~ Molto Bene!

    Orsini is a friendly little Italian restaurant with a laid back and cosy atmosphere. I've only ever visited for lunch and we're usually surrounded by smart families, shoppers and museum goers as it's only a couple of minutes from exhibition road. I like the food here because they keep it plain and simple, emphasising good produce and fresh flavours. The pasta is particularly nice and they do a really good gnocchi in white wine sauce. There are also daily specials and today i tried the chickpea soup that was very wholesome although it did only come with one small bread roll that was a bit disappointing. The coffee is great and of course they serve the Italian staple beverages; big, glass bottles of chilled San Pellegrino and strong coffees. The creamy hot chocolates are fab too. It's best for a quick brunch before hitting the shops as there service can be very quick if you tell them politely that you're in a rush. Three of us went in today and ordered prosciutto and mozzarella panini's, that were made with lovely warm crispy baguettes. More importantly, we were done and dusted in half an hour, even though the restaurant was full.

    Excellent quality Italian food! Our family had home-made pastas, seafood soup, and salmon. All food was delicious! We came in at atypical hour (15:30) and there were no people in this otherwise busy spot. The service was impeccable!

    Bruschette for starters!

    Was walking around after a full day of exploring and came across this little place. I looked it up on yelp and since they had decent reviews I decided to go in. I was greeted promptly by a very sweet Italian waiter. I got the menu and after a while of deciding what I wanted, I ordered a special seafood risotto and bruschette for starters. The bruschette comes with chopped tomato, an olive paste, and delicious roasted garlic. Each item complemented the other very well. Did I mention that the bread was delicious? Crispy, warm, and light. The seafood risotto came with prawns, calamari and the sauce was this creamy tomato sauce. It was topped with capers, which I felt wasn't needed but still AMAZING. All of this came to about £20, which I felt was much only because the food took a significantly long time to arrive. After I was done with my bruschette, I literally felt like I waited a solid 30 minutes for the risotto to come out. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious but I did wait a while. The risotto was also piping hot, so I wasn't quite as peeved, since it seemed like it was made fresh. My other gripe was that the service was subpar. All the interactions I had with the staff consisted of them having to come to my table. For example, seating me, taking my order, giving me my order, and giving me my bill. No one came to ask if I wanted anything else to drink or to see if I was doing ok, even though the table next to me had plenty of that action. With that all being said, the food was still fabulous and I'll give them some slack cause that's what Jesus would do. Overall, is definitely come back if I was given the chance.

    Delicious Italian food. I'm usually not a fan of risotto because I don't like the mushiness of typically, poorly cooked risottos. But, Orsini does them right. If anything, the risotto was undercooked, which is perfect for me because I like my rice on the harder side. The seafood in the risotto was also very fresh and well mixed into the sauce. -- taste / 5 aesthetics / 4 vibe / 4 service / 4 price for quality / 3 OVERALL / 4

    Amazing homemade pastas in a cute and modern space. Perfect for an afternoon cappuccino or evening outing after the museum.

    Fantastic Seafood soup

We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all.

It was nice to have some vegetables and it was enjoyable. The vanilla scone came in warm and enough clotted cream and jam. The pot of tea was plenty for 2 people. The quality of tea is nothing special just a traditional British breakfast tea. The service was fast and friendly. The interior was decorated that really feels traditionally British, it was a nice touch to the overall experience. Cute tea cups were used as well.

Around here it's all been the main chains, and lunchtime sandwich bars. Quality's therefore ranged from acceptably-above-mediocre to DIRE. With the arrival of Fabio & Charlie and The Flat Cap Coffee Company however all this has changed, and proper coffee can be found in the streets of Westminster! Fabio is an expert barista with incredible knowledge and attention to detail, and insists on using high-quality ingredients (incl. Square Mile Coffee) to produce a cup which is something I genuinely look forward to in the morning (as opposed to the routine "heart starter" that a coffee once was). The prices are on par with other places around the area - somewhere in the vicinity of £1.80 to £2.20 depending on what you're having. They also sell a very tasty range of pastries & whatnot brought in from Villandry, although you've usually got to get in pretty quick in the morning!
