Wonderful service and fantastic food. Kudos to Matteo and the entire team.
great experience, great food, great service. highly recommend Beso !
Great place! Friendly service and delicious food. The desserts were spectacular. Portion sizes just right. Great location. Really, I've said everything I need to say but this silly app is requiring more words so there you have it!
Great food, we went for the pre-theatre menu which was good value for money. Could be more choice though. Good service. Would go back again.
Good food for reasonable prices in the area. We had a Friday night booking and it wasn’t overly busy.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and absolutely delicious food! The small plates/starters were particularly good, as was the Gnocchi. Overall the value for money wasn't great (a diet coke costs £4) but otherwise no complaints!
Food was good albeit not very imaginitive, service was quite slow. They have several vegetarian options available, which is great. Excellent location and great place for a pre-theatre meal.
great food, wine and service - we had lots of sharing plates and the house red (which was Nero D'Avola)! Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.
Chose the theatre set menu. Good value for money with a glass of house wine included with two courses. Also indulged in cocktails and desserts. Really enjoyed the food. Limited choices for our vegan diner but she enjoyed her choices. Friendly staff and overall nice ambience.
Great place for a pre theatre bite. The staff are lovely especially Valeria who is delightful and great asset. Food well presented and great cocktails
Very nicely prepared food with different but tasty seasonings. Menu a bit small but very adequate with good choices. Service was prompt and efficient. A welcome addition for pre-theatre in Covent Garden. Will certainly return.
The welcome was warm, decor beautiful, lighting was spot on and the food was outstanding. Khalid and his team couldn't have taken better care of us and my clients loved the experience. They will be returning with friends, as will I. This is exactly the kind of restaurant I can return to again and again. Jessica Seal
I had lunch here yesterday with two guests from Canada. The food was delicious, especially the calamari. The staff were both pleasant and efficient. I’m looking forward to a return visit when there will be time for a dessert!
Great service with a fantastic menu. Perfectly themed and definitely the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in London. The raspberry sorbet was especially good. Loved it.
Brilliant, excellent service, great food! Awesome atmosphere and was a really nice touch when the Chef came out to the table to ask how our meal was! We will be back!!
Good food and friendly staff in a nicely decorated environment. My only issue was that the vegan options were almost non-existant even though the website promoted the restaurant as “vegan friendly”. That said, for those of us that weren’t vegan, the options were good and overall the food was great.
would have a slightly better score as food, atmosphere & value was good however they did forget our mains orders (which they remedied promptly once alerted) and waiting staff neglected to check why we were sitting there like lemons.
Friendly staff, great cocktails and tastey food. My only criticism is that there was no vegan options but the meat eaters thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I would say not great for vegetarians or vegans, otherwise had a really enjoyable evening. Good food and ambience.
Fabulous! Loved the ambience, food and waiting staff - definitely my kind of restaurant. Menu is original without being over quirky/fussy with a slight leaning towards vegetarian/vegan food but also good meat/fish options too. All very fresh and beautifully presented. I would definitely say give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Very tasty food (crispy squid and duck) and quick, good value pre theatre menu. Service was efficient but a bit soulless, general atmosphere was pleasant. Overall not mind blowing but would happily go back
Really good tasting food at a reasonable price for central London. Lunchtime was quiet, fewer than 10 diners when we were there. Service attentive and good atmosphere. I'd recommend this as a great place to relax and eat if you are in the Covent Garden/Shaftesbury Ave area.
We visit a small number of restaurants regularly when we for dinner before we go to the theatre but this was the first time we have visited this restaurant. Will now be adding this restaurant to the list! The service was really good, really polite and friendly from all the waiters and waitresses that served us. The menu was great, we opted for the mushroom gnocchi for mains which was a generous portion, freshly made gnocchi and very tasty and the hake was cooked to perfection with really delicious sides! Have already recommended to family as a go to next time they are in London.
Food was delicious! I had broad beans on sour dough for starters and the lamb with side salad for main. The service was also great and friendly.
Het eten was erg lekker. Het resaturantje zit er ook leuk uit. Tafeltjes, barretjes een grote driehoek tafel. Maakt het heel sfeervol. Ook de bediening was erg aardig
The place and staff are nice, but I think they can do better with food. I think it’s a little expensive for what it is.
Great restaurant, good central location with a nice relaxed vibe. Very good food at quite reasonable prices with friendly engaging staff, ideal for post theatre dinner
The fact that the chef came out of the kitchen to check how we were enjoying our food was a blast from a bygone era. All the staff were really great and the prices for central london were very reasonable. Try the grilled hake---it was divine.
Friendly staff. Very nice goats cheese starter but two pieces of toasted bread on larger board would have been nicer. Nicely cooked duck leg, one more vegetable on the side would also have worked well. Nice and helpful friendly staff, including look-a-like Ariana Grande!!
there was a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. Staff were polite and welcoming. There was good choice for vegetarians and excellant wine list
Very attractive venue, lovely food and very good front of house gentleman. Waiting staff very nice but service outside of actual food a bit slow (hard to attract attention to place order, follow-up on requests, water took 20 minutes to appear, bread requested to accompany them arrived after we had finished the starters) but in fairness it was quite busy. Would visit again
Really great experience. We had a leisurely catch up with friends. Delicious food, great cocktails and friendly staff. Unhurried and cosy atmosphere on a grey November afternoon.. Hope to return.
Delicious well prepared food in a friendly place. Friendly staff, good choices, fresh ingredients. Stumbled across it by accident - will definitely come back again.
Lovely surroundings, very tasty food and attentive staff would recommend highly. Prices very reasonable for the location the restaurant is in will definitely be back
the food was delicious, however the service was well below par. Food arrived at diffeeent times and we were left waiting for a side which we had to ask for twice before coming at the end of the meal
We arrived quite early, but staff were relaxed, friendly and welcoming. The pre-theatre menu advertised wasn't fully available, but staff were very accommodating, and we decided to order a la carte anyway. The restaurant is small, and nicely lit, so on a rainy Monday evening there was still a nice atmosphere! Gnocchi with gorgonzola and mushrooms was delicious, like autumn on a plate, and the hake and chard dish was (apparently) really well cooked. Puddings were less exciting, but still very nice. Great wine list too. Friendly place, tasty food, perfect location for theatreland. We'll be back!
This is a fabulous restaurant. The food was really tasty and good choice for one vegetarian and one meat eater. We were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely return.
Staff were super nice and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious along with the lovely wine. Would highly recommend and definitely go back again.
Had a very enjoyable pre theatre lunch today and some very nice Prosecco,friendly staff, would eat here again. The restaurant had a nice feel, very close to the Shaftesbury theatre.
Excellent food, great service. The chick peas we had for nibbles to start were unbelievable. The mains were just as good. You really shouldn’t have a minimum word count.
The food was excellent but the service slow - we booked for 5pm and were almost late for a 7.30pm show two minutes down the road. The individual waiters were very attentive but the head waiter seemed distracted and was often deep in conversation with the front of house (including when I had twice asked for the bill)
