Description: For nearly thirty years, this family-run restaurant has been the place that local business people and residents of Mayfair return to again and again. A cozy, intimate atmosphere prevails in the traditionally decorated dining room -- that is, if you get past the friendly long bar where snacks are served. The menu is Italian-influenced, with very good pastas and dishes like Saltimbocca alla Romana, but some of Fino's most popular dishes are classics like hot salt beef or roast fore-ribs of Scotch beef. The international wine list is also Italian-influenced, delightfully so. Fino's is not trendy - just very, very good.

I know it doesn’t look a very warm welcome at the top of the stairs but down you go! Into a wonderful underground restaurant unchanged over the years. We must have been drinking and eating here for at least 30 years. Food is cooked perfectly and to order. Mix up anything on the menu and they do it! Great Spanish... More

Nice enough basement restaurant but quite corporate in style and certainly nothing special Menu came and we ordered 8 dishes. The waitress then told us 2 of the dishes were already finished and...

The experience started well - the staff member who greeted us was friendly but after she had passed us to the waitress who was to look after us for the evening, it all went a bit down hill. Service was extremely slow and the food was just dumped in front of us before the various team members swanned off again... More

This place is massively overrated. Very mediocre food, overpriced, boring corporate atmosphere, uninspiring. The tortilla was all runny , the croquetas were not as good as those you get in most cheapo tapas joints, yet cost a small fortune. The manchego slices were wafer thin. The food's not BAD, it's just not very good, not as good as the cheapest... More

Tapas food given a classy high end treatment plus other dishes such as quail. The restaurant is on Charlotte Street, London but the entrance is just around the corner on Rathbone Street. Friendly staff and a really nice ambiance. Good bar for pre dinner drinks but not cheap, £11 for a Pisco sour but I hadn't had one since celebrating... More

Always a favourite in Mayfair. I have been going since the mid 80's and it still offers value, great food, sensible and good wine list.

Like a previous reviewer I have been coming to Finos since it opened in 1971 and have enjoyed very many lunches and dinners over the years. Finos has the rare advantage compared to run of the mill managed bars in that the owner, Marco is almost always in attendance and serves all his loyal customers alongside his friendly staff. You...

Have been using Fino's since 1971 - not so often now as I am retired. Always a brilliant venue and place to take people, and some of the original staff are still there. Keep it up!! Peter & Crew - Northamptonshire PS: Some very pleasant memories we ALL have of this place.

Love it, fantastic food, great Italian wine list, really atmospheric... with fantastice hidden coves... Great service and loads of traditional Italian dishes to choose from as well as special additions... the Valpolicella Red is to die for... I think I spelt that correctly!?
