TOURIST TRAP. The restaurant isn't on the main road but it's close enough to the British Museum to be a mostly tourist targeted restaurant. It looks nice, service is nice, and it's actually quite quaint. However, the food was horrendous. All of the pastas were overcooked and under-flavored. The "wild mushroom" risotto only had store bought button mushrooms in it, no other variety. Without one visit tourists, this restaurant wouldn't last long. read more

I just stopped here for lunch. I happened to be passing by and liked the vibe. It is clean, bright, fresh and has a nice varied menu. I got the salad Nicoise with seared tuna and it was excellent. I don't understand why the ratings aren't higher. It was terrific. read more

On the surface, this looked like a place that would be exceptional, but the bland food and horrible service made it a dud. I visited for lunch with a friend, and we were greeted fairly promptly upon being seated. That was the only thing that was prompt, though. Everything took an exorbitant amount of time. The service was so slow that it was confusing why it was that slow. It took a long time to get our drinks (a Coke and a mint lemonade - nothing fancy), and it took about an HOUR to get our entrees. While we enjoyed having time to relax (and at least there was free Internet), it was absurd that it took that long for the food. The restaurant was neither that big nor that crowded. My friend had a bruschetta salad, which was sort of like avocado toast in some greens with a bunch of tomatoes. She added a lot of salt, but it was still an unappealing dish. Mine was even worse. I ordered the vegan Bolognese, which was the daily special. Rather than being a hearty tomato sauce with lentils, it didn't appear to really have a tomato sauce. There were lentils, but they didn't appear to be part of a sauce, or if so certainly nothing hearty. There were some eggplant chunks and peppers included as well. The whole thing was utterly flavorless, and huge amounts of salt couldn't correct the problem. After the hour long wait, I ate less than half of my portion and left it. I wish we had not come here. read more

Food was phenomenal! Service was fast and courteous, thoroughly enjoyed our evening dining before a short walk to palace theatre!

My friends and I went here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delish and the vibes were immaculate. They has a wide selection of classic Italian dishes along with some of their own selections. Everyone in our party enjoyed our meals. On top of that the service was very quick. We were seated immediately and served within 10 minutes of ordering and were given the check in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for Italian food in the area. read more

If you are in London, this is a great place for lunch. We ordered the light pizza and salad for lunch. It was the perfect combination and the pizza was better than a lot of Pizza places I have been in the US. For desert we had the lemon tart with ice cream, and OMG was that to die for. It is served warm and the crust is just perfect. Service was also quick and excellent. The cafe itself felt roomy with about 8 tables. And you can people watch as you eat. I totally recommend this place, even if you go a bit out of your way to get there. read more

The food was good, but the service was terrible. From the time that the waiter took my food order, it took a full hour to receive the food. I could understand this situation if it had been super crowded, but the restaurant wasn't too crowded and the people dining around me, who arrived shortly after me, received their food 20 minutes before me... After finally receiving the food and eating it, it took forever to flag down a waiter to bring me my check to pay. It was as if they never wanted me to leave... Anyways, the food was great! I ordered the baked brie and toast as an appetizer and the mushroom & chicken baked pasta as my entree. The baked brie was stellar. Melted cheese + bread= true bliss! The pasta was great too. While the food was great, the service definitely put a damper on the experience. read more

Pretty good esp during holiday. It was the only spot open after an evening stroll. Seated right away and service was good.

Busy as all get out, but it was just me and I didn't mind waiting. Glad I did. Wonderful menu, so many great choices. The place was packed so I had time to choose. Lovely wine list, more great choices. Enjoy! read more

Food was average at best. The upstairs looks interesting but we were stuck downstairs, which looked a bit more like a cafeteria. Service was fine. read more

Great place in the Seven Dials area. We had the sea bass and seafood risotto. Both were fresh and wonderful! Sat on the street... wonderful atmosphere. The place is casual and not pretentious, and the food and service were great! Would definitely recommend. read more

I came back and had dessert as I promised I would. Awesome place, there are few places in central London where you can order a starter, 2 mains, a dessert (that was the size of my head) and a bottle of wine for under £60 (not inc. service). If the cost doesn't sell you on this place the food should. We (my bf and I) shared the baked brie, what's not to love about melted cheese and crusty bread, I had the Fiorentina pizza (which I took home it was that big) and then we shared the Tiramisu for dessert, it was delicious, it was huge as well - sorry no photo :( the wine was excellent and our waiter was really accommodating, providing us with extra bread, boxing up the remains of my pizza and was generally an all round nice guy. Again my only niggle is that there never seems to be enough staff, it was full and a Wednesday night yet, there were only 2 people serving (that included getting drinks too). Although we were not, I imagine some people may be in more of a hurry or have time constraints if visiting the theatre and that could be difficult. read more

Stopped in for a late dinner when my friend and I, having a drink across the street, realized we were both starving. Given the kind of touristy area, I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. We got seated right away and though I see a few Yelpers griping about the service, we had no issues... Maybe a little bum rush out the door at the end of the night. We had a bottle of pinot grigio that was crisp and reasonably priced (~15£ for a bottle). We also shared some olives and bruscetta, which was excellent. I had a seafood risotto special. Fine. Nothing to wrote home about. Nice tomato sauce with a little kick to it. A solid 3.5 stars in my book... Almost 4 because the prices are very good. 3 people with wine, starters, and mains for about £20 each is pretty good for central London. read more

I'd accidentally stumbled across this place last year and had one of the best salads of my life. Seriously. Their super food salad is so great. Since then I totally forgot the name and where this place was (at the time I was new to London and was ridiculously overwhelmed at the size of it). Then last week I happened to stumble across it again! Amazing! It looks small but it has a downstairs area too. Upstairs is small and cozy with windows on both sides; great for people watching or just generally watching the buzz outside while you enjoy your meal. The menu is really nice. Not just the typical pizza and pasta dishes (although yes, they have those too). I went for a very typical carbonara this time, and my friend had a peri peri chicken pizza. The pizza was really great. The pasta, meh...I was hoping for a tastier dish. Still, I'd be happy t come here again. read more

Went there with three friends before seeing a show and were happy to find something that affordable near a west end theatre. Two of us had the pizzas and two the paellas. The portions at this restaurant are sure to fill you up, and the pepper oil on the table was quite good. My pizza had a very nice crisp crust, but other than that was a tiny bit boring (nothing too special, although still tasted good). They have a really nice selection of wines as well for those wine drinkers of any price range. The restaurant itself is really nice with open bay windows (try to get a window seat if you can, as it's great for people watching!) and really nice lighting (although music seemed to be a "best of the late 2000s" playlist which was in sharp contrast to the both the food and the aesthetic of the restaurant. The biggest downside to this place is the service as we all agreed. The waitress tries to push appetizers and sparkling water on you multiple times (careful, it is not free, i.e. 3.50 for a few pieces of grilled bread). When she saw we didn't want any she was rather rude about it, including when we asked for a few more minutes with the menu (friend had just arrived). The rest of the meal was each serving staff stalking over us and talking to us which was pretty distracting when you're trying to enjoy a meal. Hate to focus so much on the negative, but poor serving staff can really ruin an experience. If you're seeing Matilda and on a budget (aka you lined up for early morning tickets like we did) then this is place is nice because it makes you feel like you are at a high-cost restaurant even though the menu is quite reasonable. Just be sure not to expect any friendly service from some of their wait staff. read more

Pretty solid spot. Quality food that won't break the bank. Adequate service, clean and inviting atmosphere. A good option for a low-key meal out. The pizza was nice. read more

Pretty good italian restaurant, very good considering its in a touristy area. We managed to get a table straight away when other nearby restaurants had queues to get in. Prices were reasonable, a margarita around £7 and a bottle of beer for £3.85. Pizza was big and was of a pretty good quality. The small salad was small and the starter of field mushroom topped with cheese was tasty but also on the small side I thought. The service was friendly and as attentive as they could be - they were rushed off their feet. All in, a good italian to get some food and wine but perhaps nothing to get excited about. read more

I would rate this place a solid 3.5. Nothing to write home about - but very reasonable prices, decent thin crust pizza, and lovely soup (it was a special). For central London it's a bargain. If I'm ever stuck in Leicester Square and trying to get away from the crowds, I'll definitely come back. Service was slow, but decent. They could use one more waiter on call. read more

Once I noticed the humongous downstairs seating area I made a mental note of this place, particularly as we managed to snag a table on a Sunday without any hassle. Always good to know of these kind of places away from the tourist bustle of Leicester Square. Unfortunately everything else lands Wildwood a solid 3 stars aka 'meh'. Service was a bit shoddy - took a while to get noticed and very much felt like an afterthought. Food was okay - nice enough, but nothing special. That said, the price was very reasonable for Central. The deserts looks pretty impressive though and if I ever venture back and try one it might knock this review up a star. read more

I thought the service was great and the food came out quick too. I had the seafood ravioli with shrimp butter sauce and it was amazing. My dad had a dish called Peri-peri a marinated boneless chicken with fries that was truly outstanding. For dessert we had a salted Carmel cheesecake with Oreo cookie crumble and Carmel sauce! Very happy with everything and definitely want to come back. read more

We dropped into this restaurant to have a quick lunch before doing some sightseeing (and to recover a little bit from the 193 ill-advised steps we climbed out of the Covent Garden tube station). The food here was first-rate and quite affordable - we had the mojo chicken and a risotto, and both were delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant; had no trouble hearing my dinner partner across the table (sometimes a problem in crowded spots). There were quite a few families seated nearby, so it seemed very family-friendly. My only real complaint was the service, which was barely adequate. Food did arrive promptly, but after that point the waitress seemed to forget we existed. After finishing our food and our drinks and waiting another 20 minutes or so, we finally got up and waited near the door. She saw us and asked us with surprise if we needed anything, and seemed very confused when we said that yes, we'd like to pay and leave. Perhaps other patrons linger over empty wine glasses for longer than we did? Unsure. At any rate, I can definitely recommend it for the food, but not so sure about the service. read more

Cheese burger and fries were superb. Lovely with a glass of prosecco on a hot summer's day. Service was quite erratic and overly pushy. Not great when you just want something yummy, and chill. Apparently their spaghetti carbonara special with asparagus is the bees knees, but wasn't available in July. Its a great location and yes i would come back but probably at a better time when they have more staff on duty read more

The service I experienced on my last visit to this branch of Wildwood was just dreadful. Not only did we have to wait ages for drinks, to order and for our food but a number of the dishes were substandard and the waitress couldn't have been less interested. She merely blamed it on the fact that they were busy with customers that had come in after us - even though we had a prebooked table for 20 and should have been dealt with over walk-ins that arrived after us. I've been to other Wildwoods and the service is much, much better. read more

Really tasty pastas. My cocktail was also good. Service was friendly and they got us out in plenty of time to get to our show. Pizzas on neighboring tables looked great too. read more

One of the best meals I have ever eaten!! I ordered a chicken dish; very tender and flavorful. The side salad topped with green beans was well seasoned. Very affordable prices. From now on, whenever I eat a chicken breast, I will use this as the standard! read more

I'm sorry that this place got 1 Star. We went on a Saturday and were seated and served right away. The service was lovely. The pricing was the most reasonable we've had in London. Great wine. The baked Brie is to die for. Please do yourself a favor and get the sticky toffee pudding with custard. It was the best we've ever had. read more

Fantastic. The sauces and flavor and baked spaghetti... delicious. Such friendly service.

Good, cheap food. Deserts were especially good. Service was a little iffy, but okay. When we arrived it was almost empty, but filled up quickly. There's a lovely downstairs too, which they didn't open when we were there despite them turning people away at the door. read more

Worst place in London. Pizza is tasteless. Service is dreadful. Just don't waste your money here.

Great food and amazing prices. Waiting time was short and the set meal was amazing for its price. Range of food to eat and worked for the whole party. Definitely would recommend and would love to come back. read more

Small Italian restaurant worth delicious pizzas!! The staff is friendly and we say outside sit was a Beautiful day! They have Lunch specials!! read more

There was a dead spider in our jug of tap water, waitress was not apologetic AT ALL and only exclaimed "poor thing" about the spider. Starters were bland and scarce. Service was slow and terrible! We we were the first to sit downstairs (which was also cold) and by the time we actually received our mains everyone else who sat down after us were already getting the bill/eating dessert. After (rightfully) complaining about the spider in our water the waitress swapped with a waiter, we asked him twice where our main was (after over 30 minutes)--which he then went to whisper in the waitress' ear who then gave us an awful look. Mains finally arrived, flavours were mediocre at best. All four of us ended up with severe gastroenteritis. Also adding we were the only black/brown table of people in the entire restaurant---will never ever eat here again, and will also advise all my friends and family to do the same. read more
