Eight of us went there after a show last night. Ive seen loads of bad comments on different sites about this place but I can honestly say, we all had a fantastic time!!! I think its the sort of place to go to drink and dance rather than eat. Will definately go back.

ABSOLUTLY AWFUL!!! Last night we (Colleagues AGED BETWEEN 26-60) attended the restaurant/bar/disco for our Christmas night out. A table was booked for 28 people at the cost of £46 pp! When the menu was pinned up at work I wasn't too excited. I decided to wait in case there was a menu change on the night, there wasn't! I had pumpkin soup, turkey dinner and choc tart (which was a crumb on your plate!). Overall the food was not great, but it was edible!The staff were very slow to take our drink orders and after 20 mins of waiting we went to the bar ourself! A bottle of hse wine was £22 and Pinot Grigio £26!! A total rip off. I had asked for a glass of lemonade and he opened 4 cans of airline cans (mini cans u get on planes!) and charged me £4! The second glass cost £3!! So they are making up the prices as they go along.During the meal the waitress repeatedly kept passing the food across our faces and knocking into us,. She was rude and obnoxious! Our tables were cleared so we could have a dance floor. This space was in between staircases and no bigger than a large lift space! Ridiculous!!After dancing we turned and found the staff had taken a full bottle of wine from our table. When we asked where had it gone, the waitress screamed in my face, she asked everyone if it was theirs and everyone said no! There were 15 people in that space at the time and she didn't ask one of us! I asked to speak to the manager and she said NO! I asked you if it was yours and you said NO! As the only one not drinking, I know whether or not she asked me. I grabbed the manager as he tried to dodge me as he saw I had had a run in with his staff! He tried to brush me off until I threatened to call the authorities as I believed they are taking bottles away and re-selling the open bottle of wine as glasses of wine behind the bar! BIG SCAM. When I said this he retracted, replaced our bottle of wine and gave us another on the house! WILL NEVER RETURN OR RECOMMEND THE RESTAURANT TO ANY1

A total rip off! Drinks priced at £12, glass of wine £7.50!my friend ordered whiskey with coke at the bar and she was served a WHOLE glass of whiskey and a tiny can of coke- she ended up paying £20! even though it was a misunderstanding, the bartrnder refused to accept it back.I overheard someone else at the bar who argued with the manager that she orderd 4 shots of vodka but she was given 8! had to pay for it.Definately not going back!!!

Never never ever again!
It was my friend birthday on Tuesday 12/4/11 we found the bar staff rude. Bouncers are rude. She was dancing and one bouncer came up to her saying he don't like the way she dance, ( why do we need to go dance class to dance in such place) she ignored him ,he pushed and hold her from the neck throwing her outside. I was like what is going on!! i asked what happen, i got thrown too out side he pushed and touched me and we are GIRLS.. police came but it was nearly closing time, they closed quickly and run off, We are pressing charges. He is being rude racist to my friend calling her a man! maybe they need to ask people how they dance before letting them in!! RUDE RUDE Staff. Even asking for a manager we wasn't allowed to see him! how rude the bouncers can be!! Avoid at all costs this places , drinks are pricey and staff are clever filling the glass with lots of ice and less drink. I spoke to the manager on phone next day , whom said he can't do nothing and he was backing his own staff, he even refused to watch the CCTV to see that we didn't do anything. Big mistake going there , Avoid this place at all cost , avoid avoid!!

Isn't it amazing, how these places can get away with the way they treat customers!I agree with you, this is a place to avoid at all costs! The manager is as rude as his staff. I'm not sure how old you are (I'm assuming your in your early 20's), but maybe the manager and bouncers thought as you were young, they could treat you as they wanted!! Disgusting behaviour.I'm 42 and I can say, I have travelled and eaten in many restaurants around the world and I can say, hand on heart, THIS IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER FREQUENTED!!! Never ever again will I visit this awful Place.I have written a review also, unfortunately it wouldn't let me give NO STARS!

I will not be going to this restaurant again. I had heard good reviews and we are always on the lookout for a good restaurant in London.

We had the Lunch menu, and I have to say it was not up to standard. I had the chicken it was dry, overcooked with no sauce to be able to chew it, the Soup was uninspiring, the chocolate brownie the only thing that was good. The crowning glory were the coffee's, cold, old and bitter. Not one of the waitresses took any notice of our comments or left over food.

I won't even believe the critic's advice on a good restaurant either.

It was our 35th Wedding anniversary celebration, so a big thank you to you all!

My advice is not to go to Little Italy. I certainly won't be going again.
Although the restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff appeared accomodating (at first), it did not live up to the "reputation" it seems to have.
The drinks and food are overpriced. Apparently the only ingredient the chef is aware of is salt which my main course was literally marinated in. As were all 7 of the other main courses and we consquently couldn't eat it.
When we brought this up with the waiter he just gave us a dirty look and got the manager who proceeded to tell us, "well we had no complaints over the christmas period" and walked away, without even offering some kind of compensation.
Having worked in restauarnts myself I found it absurd that the manager herself could be so ignorant.
We refused to pay the service charge. But still ended up paying £58 a head for unedible food.

I don't reccomend it to anyone at all. You would be better off at McDonalds (probably less salt content) And better service.

Obviously the people that have given good reviews have not been recentley, or have plenty of money or are friends or celebs as they obviously get treated differently to us mere mortals! 10 of us girls went there on saturday nite for a 30th birthday to eat and have the evening to celebrate. The price on the menu was more than was thought when booked and on enquiring was told by the manager that basically if we dont like the price then go! Also we quired the bill after meal as they had added 12% service charge and another member of management was very rude. They all need educating in customer care as we spent a fortune on food and drink and were treated appaling.

Will not be going back in a hurry! ive never been to a resturant ware the staff were so RUDE!! wen me & my friends was given our menus it was a very differnt price to what was given on booking, when we politely questioned a member of staff about this we was told if we are not happy with it then we can leave! unbelievable!! this very arogant attitude continued throughout the evening! we informed a member of management about this & this very rude lady could not care less!! as for the prices you pay & the food is something that could be warmed up by a 5 year old disgusting!! if your feeling thirsty after they will only serve doubles at the bar so your are muged into paying £10 for one drink! a lot of money for not much wiv poor customer service! the place is just a joke!!
