Quick info
About Verdi - Italian Kitchen at the Royal Albert Hall
Verdi, Italian Kitchen sits inside the Royal Albert Hall, an Italian restaurant serving pizza, pasta and antipasti in a spacious room built around an open kitchen. The menu runs to twenty dishes, including Spaghetti Carbonara, Sea Bream and Bolognese on Sourdough Tagliatelle, with Tiramisù and Profiterole among the desserts. For guests attending a performance, desserts can be arranged in advance and brought to the table before intermission. Service is walk-in, with staff seating diners as tables become available. The room draws pre-show crowds around concert and performance times, so a wait can build then. Table service continues throughout the meal.

“Really great experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional and my guest and I felt well taken care of. Food was fabulous - we had pizza which was wonderfully hot on arrival. Cocktails and wine recs were also fab. I would like to shout out Viktor and the older gentleman in the black suit for taking care of us. The service was exceptional and better than some of the top London restaurants.”

“We had a most wonderful lunch at Verdi before enjoying an amazing performance of Cirque du Soleil's OVO. The food was delicious, plenty full and well presented. Our server, Zin, was most attentive, but not intrusive, and arranged for us to enjoy our desserts during the interval at the same table. It was perfect to have them already at the table when we arrived. Overall a very memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you Zin.”

“My Dad and I had a beautiful meal here before the Sigur Ros concert on Wednesday. It was quiet when we arrived but soon became very busy so highly recommend a reservation. Amazing location; the staff were wonderful - friendly and really attentive but unobtrusive. Really delicious food and cocktails; absolutely loved the raviolini and tiramisu. Really appreciated the fact that despite it being really busy and us being in a prime location we weren’t rushed at all. Highly recommend!”
