Forty Dean Street

Had an early dinner there by myself before going to The Lyric theatre. Staff were friendly and lovely. Food was delicious. I ate all my favourite things. Sorry I forgot to take photos before I started eating, but hopefully you still get the idea. It was lush!

Disappointing. I’ve been here a few times over these couple of years and had never been this disappointed. I always had good food here, epspecially the lobster ravioli. However, this time I believed something changed. I ordered the crunchy squid, caesar salad, mushroom risotto, and lobster ravioli. The crunchy squid was amazing, and i enjoyed it very much. Then, the other dishes came and everything went downhill. Firstly, the caesar salad came with grilled chicken that tastes so bitter i almost had to spit it out. The chargrilled part of the chicken was just not right. The rest of the salad was fine. Then, my friend ate the risotto and said it was a bit salty, so i tried it. Oh Jesus. It was the saltiest risotto I have ever eaten (this was without the parmesan on top). We had to return the dish and told the waiter to try it to make sure that we’re all on the same page about the taste. This issue was handled perfectly by the staff, and they took it off the bill for us. Lastly, the ravioli. This was the most disappointing out of all since I looked forward to eating it the most. I am normally not a fan of seafood, but I just loved the creaminess and the taste of the ravioli here. This time, the sauce was watery, the flavour was bland, and everything just didn’t feel right. I called the waiter just to check whether they changed the recipe or the chef. I was told that they didn’t change the chef nor the recipe. Come on! Just look at the pictures and judge for yourselves. I think the difference is quite clear. That’s all from me.

Back here for our 3rd anniversary and our waiter Danny made it the most special night!!! The personality, the service and the humour made everything 10x more special! We cant wait to spend each and every anniversary going forward here all thanks to Danny! He adds that special touch ! As always the food didnt disappoint and ill highly recommend the lobster ravioli.

Food was good, we ordered Lobster Ravioli and pistachio tiramisu which were delicious. Seating space is very less, tables for 2 are congested. You need to be very careful while sitting and getting up that you don’t spill anything on your neighbour’s table! But food wise it is recommended!

Must say this was a really great surprise. The food was delicious. The service was excellent small intimate restaurant. Everything they made was good. We had the chicken dish that was really different with spaghetti. The salmon was very good and the salads so good

Impeccable service!! We stopped in on a holiday weekend on a Saturday (thankfully early enough in the evening - 6pm ish) that we were able to get a table...

Food is amazing! And the staff was great! One of my favorite restaurants in London so far. Visiting from California :)

We arrived for a 5:00 pm reservation before a show with a family of 4 (including 12 and 14 year old). Upon entering the restaurant, we were told that...

This restaurant offers excellent customer service delivered by the amazing Ruth. This young lady managed the lunch service all on her own. Starters and mains were flavoursome and satisfying, although £30 for a plate of pasta is heavily overpriced. The dessert menu was limited but offered good value at £7. This restaurant has a tasteful decor and excellent lighting . The only negative is that the patrons on the day were loud making it difficult to hear my partner sat two feet away. It was disappointing to pay £6 for a bottle of water, although the cocktails were exceptional value at £13 and expertly mixed and provided by the ever smiling mixologist. Overall a good experience mainly down to Ruth’s expertise, courtesy and professionalism . Take a bow Miss!

This restaurant is fabulous. The food, service and wine were superb. We didn’t book, so our only option was to sit outside, even though it was February, the patio heaters kept us toasty. The highlight of our weekend in London ❤️

What a lovely place with amazingly good food. Went here for a dinner with my boyfriend and we both loved it. Definitely recommend!

Had a fabulous long lunch at this gem of a restaurant yesterday. Service was friendly & efficient and the food could not be faulted - beef carpaccio followed by mushroom risotto & a few too many bottles of rosè! Really sensibly priced - especially considering the location. Would def recommend & we’ll be going back! X

This little gem on Dean street is a Must if you require the authentic Italian experience. The table was small and bijou and close to other tables where everyone but this enhanced the experience. Service good and attentive Food was excellent and generous size Wife had the Caesar salad which was tasty , salty and fresh which succulent chicken I had the pork belly with mash and greens which as crunchy and moist with tasty greens Nice place to lunch with a good selection of food and wine
