A lovely little restaurant ideally located for pre- and post-theatre meals. Excellent service and delicious food! The size of the pepper grinder needs to be seen to be believed!

Nice warm welcome and friendly service. Food oversalted for our taste and desserts not made in house, otherwise a good follow-on to our theatre trip.

Great little family Italian in the heart of London. Honest authentic food one of the best homemade tiramisu I’ve had all the veal dishes were excellent.All served in a typical Italian family way that makes you feel that you are sitting in a small town in Italy not the bustling centre of London

I have been going here for over 15 years and the food never disappoints. The bread (Bruschetta and Garlic Mozarella) is excellent and the Spaghetti Melanzane is my favourite pasta dish. Best Italian I have been to in London and rivals many I have visited in Italy. Great spot for pre/post theatre supper.

For the starter we had the Sardines. They were so delicious. Simply seasoned and cooked. For the main we had the prawn linguine with chilli and the mushroom risotto. Again, both dishes were delicious. A point to note - because the linguine has chilli in it; it might be a bit spicy for some - but it was just right for me. Reasonably priced. I would go back again.

The staff and food at Cucciolo are great. There is a warm atmosphere emitted from the staff. The garlic bread con mozzarella was really tasty and well balanced. I had the penne Arabiatta which although simple was full of flavour and was a decent size. I will return for sure.

My wife And I had two courses. There was a bit of a wait.....about 30 minutes between them which made us a little edgy that they had forgotten the second course. However all was well and it eventually. Turned up. Our main courses were veal and the house giant prawn pasta dishes. Both were excellent. Overall a good meal with good service.

We had a lovely pre theatre lunch at this beautifully traditional Italian trattoria. My Scaloppa Miilinese was perfectly served and my companion's linguine was, I am told, delicious. Our 5 year old's Marherita pizza was gobbled up and the service and ambience was quiet unobtrusive and family friendly. Prices were par for the area but good value. Very highly reccomended. I'll definitely return.

One of the best Italian meals that I have ever had and I dine in quite a few. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was really good too. A gem of a place and I believed it is a family ran business. Its a must visit.

The service was great and fast. The lovely food was tasty and came in large enough but not huge, perfect size pasta. The atmosphere was cosy and relaxing. Quite stereotypical family run Italian restaurant. We felt at home there.
