I brought my children here. The cheerful staff and vast selection of dishes catered to our needs fabulously. The pastas, pizzas and sorbets brought smiles to the kids faces! The excellent food, quick service and fantastic coffee made me very happy too! We give Trattoria Verdi a mark of 5/5!

An old friend came into London to join me in a 10K race, so I wanted to treat her to dinner at the most welcoming and diverse Italian restaurant I know. We went to Trattoria Verdi. We dove into delicious and beautifully presented fish and seafood dishes. The waitress was able to make excellent recommendations for appetizers and wine. The entire day was a phenomenal success, made complete by dinner at Trattoria Verdi. Will be coming again soon.

Trattoria Verdi summoned the resources and know-how to seat and serve my five famished friends and me without prior reservation. We were impressed with the timely service and the food. The steaks were cooked perfectly, the pastas were delicious and generous, and when we asked about desserts, they rolled in a trolley of fresh, exciting and delectably tasty cakes alongside our table so we could point out our choices. Trattoria Verdi played superb hosts in the face of our gamble to show up unannounced. Five stars for reliability.

This restaurant proved to have a very elegant and romantic ambiance, excellent choice of wines, authentic Italian food and even live piano music – all that enabled myself and my lady friend to enjoy each other’s company and have a great time. We both feel grateful to the management of this charming place, and decided to express our gratitude in writing. Grazie!

My partner and I visited Trattoria Verdi for the very first time last weekend. We were so happy that two pastas and a bottle of wine could do wonders to celebrate my birthday. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the atmospheric piano music and the friendly service were all ideal for a couple celebrating on a budget. Thank you so much Trattoria Verdi!

Walking down Southampton Row looking for a quick bite at a pleasant place to take my lunch break I came upon Trattoria Verdi, where I have had a fine dining meal before. To me, Trattoria Verdi is an attractive place for every occasion. I was even more convinced of this when I learnt I could to order a three course meal for a song. And no fine print. I was simply great food for a fair price. I chose the whitebait, which came with potatoes and vegetables. It was a tourist menu, too! When a restaurant can serve a tasty tourist menu you know it can be trusted!

Back in London I dined at Trattoria Verdi where the meat steak is always done as I ask. This time I also tried a pizza, the beefeater, that was terrific! The waitresses are excellent! Very good place! Hans

I really enjoyed my meal at Trattoria Verdi last week-end. The Sole and Salmon were so tastefully prepared and the waitresses so poised it made me feel royal. I will definitely introduce Trattoria Verdi to my friends and business partners.

Two couples, we came early in the evening to Trattoria Verdi and spent almost the whole evening there. The food, service and atmosphere was so welcoming. We sat at a round table near the piano player. It was priced right and we got a free drink on the house.

After a day of shopping in the centre of London, my visitors were so relieved to step into friendly, homely Trattoria Verdi to regenerate before returning to their nearby hotel. The warm, friendly welcome and super tasty and plentiful Italian fare left them ready for further adventures in our capital city.
