Four to Eight

The food was excellent, an interesting twist on standard Italian favourites, and the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. I would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely restaurant next door to The Duchess Theatre, opposite The Apollo and just around the corner to The Lyceum, such a great location. I had the crispy pigs head to start followed by crab linguine and then a selection of cheeses, everything was very tasty and served by friendly and helpful staff. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

Food very tasty, but portions a bit on the small side. Staff very nice and a very good atmosphere! Would definitely visit again and would recommend to others!

Lovely food but the service was lacking, partly I think because they were busy and also a lack of training on the part of the staff. They didn't bring out one of our extras and still didn't bring it out when we enquiried about this. I am vegetarian & our waitress was trying to convince me that certain items on the menu were veggie even though there was no (v) next to them whereas other items were clearly denoted as vegetarian on the menu. I don't think that some meat eaters understand that some cheeses for example are not necessarily vegetarian! At the end of the day if a dish was veggie it would have had a (v) next to it as other dishes did. Also the choice for veggies wasn't great and I was initially told that I couldn't have the veggie main dish off the set menu but I didn't like the veggie main dish in the main menu. They did concede this point in the end though. Also the set menu had no veggie option as a starter That saidi I would still go back since the food was very tasty and I liked the restaurant itself. I will probably just check their menu before I book next to ensure there is something on the menu I like / can eat.

Went for evening meal in June. Good attentive service, very good food, duck Ravi and cheesecake were particularly good and best Novaracella olives we've had. Lacks a little atmosphere but decor is great.

Great place to go before theatre. Really friendly staff with quick service (which we needed!), a bit of good humour and very good food! Highly recommend this restaurant!

As always, a very warm welcome. Our guests were hugely impressed with the food and atmosphere; we treated ourselves to a wonderfully fresh white wine (the list is varied and interesting) to match the octopus starter. The lamb neck was beautifully tender and succulent. We will all be returning!

Smart decor, very good service from staff who know the menu and come across as helpful and cheerful, terrific menu and gorgeous food - the stone bass with buttery sauce and salsify was amazing and it has the variety of a pasta and a fish dish of the day. My friend's lamb fillet was very tasty and tender too.

The service was excellent but I was not terribly impressed by the food. I had the vegetarian option, which was fine but I thought the starters were below par for an Italian restaurant.

Very good food in an attractively designed restaurant slightly away from the more touristy heart of Covent Garden. Helpful staff and nice ambience. Will be back.

Always enjoy coming here. The staff are friendly and attentive without overdoing it They accommodate every wish Would happily recommend it to anyone Great opening times too.

Very nice meal, with swift and friendly service. Food was well cooked and elegantly served with an interesting menu. Had the set theatre menu, but keen to try the a'la carte. Will definitely be going back.

It was the first time I'd been to this restaurant. It has a fairly short but very interesting menu. Not your typical Italian. The food was excellent - very tasty. I can recommend the octopus and fish of the day. We were a group of four and wanted sociable evening. We weren't rushed at all. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is very stylish. I will definitely be going back.

Excellent service the food was great and the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone .would go again next we are in London.

This was our first visit to 4 to 8. Excellent menu; all the dishes we had on our table of 4 were delicious; knowledgeable staff and very good wine list - we will definitely come back

Food was ordinary but the bill was extraordinary. 10 £ the small glass of Chardonnay ! The service was not so friendly,the waitress looking in the other direction if you call her.

Every bit as good as we had hoped, perfect for pre theatre dinner. We had intended to have the pre dinner menu, but were seduced by the daily specials. The food was excellent, only one small thing, down to personal preference I would have preferred a little more kick to the beetroot starter. Great attentive but not overbearing service meant we got apperitifs, three courses and coffee in an hour and a quarter. will recommend to friends and return again ourselves

It was absolutely awful . Whilst our waitress was lovely the 3 main course for a party of three were of the most appalling quality . I understand that our reservation was for 10.30 and the chef probably wanted to go home , however that in no way excuses what was served up . Furious

Lovely food and service with good wines. Menu is interesting but any regular visitor will want the menu changed monthly to keep it fresh and interesting. Given the awful restaurants in theatre land this is an excellent exception and deserves success.

Nice food and a lovely atmosphere, service was rather slow even though it wasn't a busy night. I will have to try different recipes to make a better judgement

Fantastic service and excellent food. Normal London prices but good value for money in my humble opinion. Perfect pre-theatre venue just off Drury Lane, particularly well situated for the Theatre Royal.

Great pre theatre meal with children 8 and 9yrs old. (And grandparents!) everyone happy with atmosphere location food and especially service. Gino and his team provided everything with a helpful smile.

Really good food, service was lovely.. And cocktails were tasty x3! Easy location for anyone watching a show at the theatre. Would return, and certainly get more olives!

Stunning food, lovely ambience and a pleasure to done in. A wonderful meal (and a brilliant wine selection) staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. also very central!

Watch out for the price if you choose the Dish of the Day, rather badly out of line with the rest of the prices. OK otherwise.

Good friendly service, good straightforward food, smart place for a friendly lunch or pre- or post theatre dinner. Dessert particularly good. I'll definitely return soon.

Excellent and well thought out menu. The food is delicious and the service warm and welcoming. Make sure you begin the experience with their beautifully fresh olives.

We went for a pre - theatre lunch. It's definitely either booking in advance as the place gets very busy. Service and food were outstanding. They even cook off the menu for children (within reason), although with their mixture of pasta and steaks you don't need any extras.

Excellent food and service .. Will definitely be going back there

Service ok mais prix trop élevés pour la qualité . Trop bruyant ce n est pas une ambiance cosy mais plus une ambiance brasserie mais viande grillée ok .

First time visiting this restaurant. The food served was excellent and the service was of a high quality. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent night. Superb service and the food was absolutely delicious. A few unusual dishes to chose from too if you fancy something a little different. Would happily recommend to my friends and certainly would return.

NICE ATMOSPHERE, service exellent, waitress very friendly.Just after the theatre there were a little rush, but the orders were taken immediately.Lamb was not as warm as one would expect.Good anyway.

Really enjoyable place to go. The staff are fantastic-knowledgeable, fun, engaging. The food fabulous-interesting and well presented-I like my food major hot, as in temperature and so that was my only fault not quite hot enough for me.

Service a bit slow to start and they forgot a few things but this improved as evening went on . The good was great two of us had the tasting menu and when we commented we didn't like one of the courses they replaced with another of our choice which was good if them . Overall a lively restaurant with great food and staff lovely

The food was beautiful, the staff were absolutely lovely and everything about the experience was great. We went 7 of us for a quick lunch break that lasted two hours because we forgot we were on lunch and the time went so fast! Food 10/10 Staff 10/10 Price SO affordable ... Recommend!

Food was great. However, service was a let down. Waited over an hr for very simple items and tbh not that much food. Waiter didn't ask if we wanted any other drinks.

Great no fantastic place to dine will be going back again and again :-) Food is well prepared and well presented. Waiters are attentive and knowledgeable of ingredients used in dishes

Easy to find as it is beside the Duchess Theatre. Staff welcoming and very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Attentive, food was wonderful, a great experience. Thank you.

Had a really great evening. The food was excellent and the cocktails and wines were also outstanding. Great atmosphere and fantastic service. Will definitely be back.
