Good food and lovely service. The mixed starter plate was all very tasty and was plenty for four. The other menu options were also very good. It was difficult to choose what to eat the menu was so good and none of us were disappointed.

It had been quite a while since I’d last been to 500 and I wish I hadn’t left it so long. It’s such a neighbourhood gem. We had the most delicious meal - Marsala duck and pan-fried halibut, followed by caramelised rhubarb and strawberry sorbet - and the service couldn’t have been friendlier. They even gave my mother a birthday bowl of tiramisu complete with candle on the house.

Friendly Italian restaurant. I doubt if there is better Italian cooking in London. Brilliant Pheasant quenelle and wonderfully flavoured pot roasted quail. Spot on fish cooking. Interesting and not expensive wines from all over Italy. Best green olives from Puglia and home baked bread assortment. Excellent pasta dishes.

It’s becoming our usual valentine’s day restaurant and never disappoints! Food is beyond awesome, the service is really good and prices are not too expensive for the treatment! Only one complaint: Peroni is an awful beer, try to have more choice..

500 is a fab place with gorgeous food! It’s great value too with wine from £20 - £30. Quandoos booking system didn’t work though for some reason so they didn’t have our reservation but they managed to fit us in on their one unbookable table. They couldn’t have been more helpful!

We found this restaurant recommended in the Waitrose good food guide so had fairly high expectations, "Thick leek and potato soup" was not thick and it was tasteless. My main of pan fried halibut was also disappointing, the fish was nicely cooked but the skin should have been crispy but it wasn't and was unpleasantly chewy. This was served on what I can only describe as a puddle of puréed carrot. My partner and son described their meals as average. Service was good enough but we won't be back!

Attentive serving; delicious food & great to be able to have half size (& price) starter & sweet - for those with smaller appetites! Would love it if there were more white meat @ vegetarian options.

We have been there many times. The food is always good, fresh and tasty. The home made bread is a must. Not forgetting the service which is always with a smile.

This restaurant is a real gem. The staff are delightful and the food is exceptionally good. Cannot understand why this restaurant is not packed. Wonderful fresh fish and lamb cooked to perfection. Will be returning to this unpretentious and great little restaurant.

We have been going to this restaurant on and off since it opens. It is a gem. Wonderful authentic Italian food, lovely staff, very good value, excellent portions. Very interesting menu which changes regularly, inexpensive wine list. What more can I say. This place is great. The only snag is that it is small and can get noisy. It depends when you go.

Lovely food in relaxed atmosphere. The dishes range from refined to really satisfying Italian home cooking. Starters were amazing. The pasta dishes that followed were really homely and scrumptious.

Lovely local Italian, good food and attentive but not over attentive staff. They don’t hover and keep filling your glass but they are very responsive. They serve a mean Frito misty occasionally as a starter, the menu changes I think every month so always new things to try along with regular homemade pasta dishes.

The food is utterly delicious and staff is amazing! I don't normally go out for Italian meals... As an Italian I am very picky: no fake Italian food for me. 500 always hits the spot!!!Highly reccommended.
