My first visit to the new location but the food and service are exactly where they always have been. Among the best Italian food you can find in London and with a well chosen wine list. We chose lamb chops as a dish but left everything else to the team. I won't even list them as not one of us had anything negative to say about any of them. Can't be faulted in any way and when the weather is as sunny as it was, sitting outside is just wonderful.
Fabulous place, good atmosphere. Food was outstanding. Originally I went for cod,which was very nice, but others were very impressed with lamb chops. I never liked lamb as it has that specific taste, but my colleague gave me the piece to try and that was unbelievably delicious, so more lamb chops were ordered. Tiramisu was gorgeous as well! Thank you, and sorry about the noise, luckily we were in your glass room which probably absorbed a bit of noise thank you once again.
We were welcomed by a very friendly team of staff who clearly like working at the restaurant. Says a lot about a place when the staff are so happy. The service was fantastic and the food was another level. We felt very spoilt. If you want authentic Italian then this is the place to go. We were very happy. No pizza to be seen! Perfectly handmade pasta and other wonderful choices. We look forward to returning
December, 2019 The best Italian food in London!! Local friend took us to this place and it was a great experience! All the dishes were more than amazing... :)
This has been my favorite Italian restaurant in London since I discovered it 6-7 years ago. We still explore new places, but while many are good, we always end up saying we should have gone to Vasco and Piero instead. That staff and service are always impeccable. It’s the perfect restaurant for before or after a show, a lovely lunch, or a special date. They are equally good at providing a faster paced meal if you need to get to a show, or facilitating a long relaxed dinner filled with wine and conversation. I have eaten there too many times to count and have never had an issue with anything I’ve ever ordered. Mostly we just sit there saying “omg this is so good”. I like food a lot, and while I rarely send things back, I am very critical. I enjoy digging into the good and bad parts of every dish with my partner and talking about the elements. I’m usually disappointed by at least one dish at every new restaurant I try, but Never at Vasco and piero. The simplest thing on their menu is usually stunning, sometimes sticking in our memory for years (I still think about the vegetable soup I had that couldn’t have been simpler and tasted like magic) It’s clear this place is a favorite with people in the soho theater/acting/film crowd as we have seen many recognizable faces. Do yourself a favor and eat here. Also, try the Tiramisu. My husband isn’t a coffee drinker and never liked tiramisu. He tried this one reluctantly on my recommendation and now it’s one of his favorite desserts in London (and he actively goes out with a desert club to try desserts all over the city). He orders it every time we eat there. I could talk about many different dishes I love eating there, but honestly everything is delicious. They have that magic that all good Italian food has, it seems simple, uses limited perfect ingredients, and you know you could try to make the same thing at home 1000 times and it would never taste like magic the way it does when prepared by their kitchen with their specially sourced ingredients.
My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant from 2007, when the owner Paul’s father ran it. Every meal we have had here has been spectacular. Simple food, cooked to perfection, using the best ingredients. This is the best italian Restaurent in London!
The food from, starter to dessert was amazing. I was thrown away by the yellowfin tuna, tortellini beef ragu and the mini bonet and mini tiramisu. A perfect night was spent here.
Outstanding service and super friendly staff. Excellent menu choices great wine list. Worked in London for 20 years and only first visit. Shame on me!!! Go enjoy delicious Italian fayre.
