  “One of my favourite places in London. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and consistently good service. Christina always makes me feel welcome and somehow remembers exactly what I like to order. That personal touch is one of the reasons I keep coming back almost every weekend. Highly recommended.”

  “Tucked away just off Regent Street and moments from Savile Row, Ristorante Frescobaldi occupies one of Mayfair’s most enviable locations, offering a sophisticated Italian dining experience in the heart of the West End. Housed in an elegant setting that reflects the heritage of the renowned Tuscan wine dynasty behind it, the restaurant exudes charm, refinement and a sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive. Service throughout the evening was warm, attentive and genuinely engaging, striking the right balance between professionalism and hospitality. The lively atmosphere, enhanced by entertainment and the buzz of a well-heeled Mayfair crowd, makes Frescobaldi an appealing destination for both special occasions and leisurely evenings out. The menu offers an impressive breadth of Italian classics, with generous portions that provide excellent value for such a prestigious postcode. Standout dishes included the bruschetta, which arrived fresh and beautifully presented, and an indulgent tiramisu that delivered the comforting richness expected of a traditional Italian dessert. Where the experience fell slightly short was in the execution of some of the main dishes. While the ingredients appeared fresh and the presentation was polished, several plates lacked the depth of flavour and seasoning needed to elevate them from good to memorable. Given the restaurant’s reputation and pedigree, the food occasionally felt more restrained than inspiring. That said, Frescobaldi remains a highly enjoyable restaurant thanks to its elegant surroundings, impeccable service and vibrant atmosphere. It is a venue that excels as a social dining destination and wine-led experience, even if some dishes leave room for greater culinary impact. For those seeking a stylish Italian evening in Mayfair, it is still well worth a visit particularly for the ambience, hospitality and a tiramisu that lingers in the memory long after the meal has ended.”

  “The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was really nice, at least from what we could see of it from our table :) The only downside was the seating for the live entertainment. We paid the same fee as everyone else, but our table was in a corner and a wall blocked most of our view of the performance. We mentioned it to the waiter and were told that the performers move around during the night, which they did. However, most of the show took place in one area, so we still couldn’t see much of it. It was disappointing to pay for the show and then miss a large part of it because of where we were seated.”

  “There were a lot of people from our hotel here the night we ate here and about five tables filled. We wished there were more people just to make it a little more festive. Our wine was fantastic along with the roast chicken dinner. We loved the olives that had chiles and small bits of peppers on them....delicious! It's not easy to find this place so allow enough time to find it down an alleyway.”

  “We had such a lovely evening at Ristorante Frescobaldi London — it felt like a little escape to Italy in the heart of Mayfair. From the moment we arrived, the ambience stood out: elegant, warm, and relaxed without being pretentious. It strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort — ideal for a date night or special occasion. The service was exceptional throughout. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. Their recommendations were spot on, and everything felt seamless and well-paced. The food was beautifully executed. We especially loved the Tagiolini al Tartufo Nero, rich and indulgent, and the Spaghetti Vongole, fresh and full of flavour. We also enjoyed refined starters like scallops and burrata-style antipasti, all showcasing high-quality ingredients. What really elevated the experience was the attention to detail and how well looked after we felt without it ever being intrusive. A truly memorable evening — perfect for great Italian food, a romantic atmosphere, and impeccable service. We’ll definitely be back.”

  “The food was excellent, but the menu is very limited. On the plus side, it’s easy to get a table even without a reservation. Worth visiting if you don’t mind the small selection”

  “This place is highly recommended if you want good Italian food in Central London. My husband booked this place for my birthday celebration and what can I say the food, the decoration, the atmosphere, the service all are excellent! Staff was really friendly and helpful. Gave us a few recommendations which were spot on! Little bit expensive but worth a try. Great place for a date, Birthday celebration, Anniversary or just family or friends day out for great food, music and drinks. You cannot go wrong with this place!”
