Perfect location for breakfast, had the Eggs Benedict and my fiancee had the Eggs Florentine. Food, coffee and tea was excellent and when sat outside you get a real bet of sun in the morning.

Great ambience in a chic area of London. Great pasta. Best Ossobokoo! They can even prepare you dishes not on the menu!

Very unimpressive experience at cecconis. Atmosphere was buzzy enough but food underwhelming. My ravioli in particular was mediocre and rather dry. Service was grudging and quite frankly a bit disrespectful. Wanted to like it but didn't.

Cecconis occupies a superb corner site tucked just behind the Royal Accademy in the Mayfair area. It's a modern day restaurant serving venetian inspired food without the canals and Venice and in a way with a London/UK twist, which means it isn't really Venetian at all. Cecconis is though a fun, chic and fashionable eatery, it's buzzy and lively and... More

Everything was excellent. Of course, as all good places a little bit expensive but honest! We had an appetizer (made with crude salmon) that was very fresh and delightful, then I had some spaghetti and a "branzino". Service is fast and efficient. I recommend to reserve a table rather to trust to find one free...

Try catching the eye of a waiter in this joint (tip: don't hold your breath). I come here once a month for breakfast. It's conveniently located. The food is tasty and well presented. It's quiter than The Wolseley. And it's surprisingly good value for money. However: the staff are stand-offish, slow, and surly. And yes, that includes you, grumpy cloakroom... More

Was taken here last week for lunch. Place was very busy with a mix of businessmen and other high end clientelle. Food was excellent, has the meatballs to start then the ox cheek ravioli, both were beautiful. Thankfully I was not paying so was less concerned about the price. Service was efficient, especially given how busy the place was. Would... More

Every city has one - a restaurant so trendy the management feels they can treat guests with such utter contempt that they will not only come back but think it is cool. This restaurant was one of the worst dining experiences of my life. The staff is incredibly rude. The food was unbelievably bad. Only someone who thinks the Olive... More
