We love this place. It has to be one of the best simple pasta restaurants in all of London. We…read morealmost cancelled this reservation because we were so full from pasta lunch, but was able to push it back an hour bc we didn't want to miss out on their famous lobster for two meal as recommended by fellow runners. When the dish came out, we laughed at how much pasta there was. No way we could finish it, but to our shock, we ate it all up! It was so good that we enjoyed every last bit of it. Also our host & server Belle was so sweet to help move our reservation, encourage us for the marathon, and let us know that they offer a free pasta dish for all marathoners that present their medal after race day and helped us book a new reservation. When our new reservation came up, we thought about cancelling again bc, seriously, how much pasta can we eat this week, but we are so glad we didn't! The second time we tried 3 different pastas, and the best part was, Pastaio also offers half sizing which was perfect to try a variety of dishes. We got the ravioli, carbonara and bolognese. First bite of the ravioli lit us both up. Then the carbonara. Then the bolognese. Wow, trifecta. Everything was so good and the pasta was perfectly al dente. I couldn't believe I could still enjoy pasta this much after nonstop carb loading, but that's how good Pastaio is. Also the tiramisu is light and fluffy. Perfect treat at the end.

However, I need to warn my fellow Yelpers to stay away from Oliveto if you value Good Pizza! I mean, how hard is it to have good pizza!?! It is a simple staple which I have enjoyed in the US, in China and yes even in Italy. At it's most basic, it should be dough, sauce (doesn't have to be tomato necessarily), mozzarella and maybe some toppings, right? Here is where Oliveto went wrong for my mother and me: 1) they use cheap cheddar cheese - not mozzarella! 2) not a lot of sauce, maybe just enough to color it 3) the dough was soggy and didn't rise (I actually like thin crust, but this was inferior doug and 4) topping that were not as advertised, i.e. prosciutto should not look like and taste like store-bought sliced ham! Service was okay - the men like to talk about customers in their native tongue, thinking that patrons don't know what they are saying about them. We were so glad that we split a pie - most tables got a pie per person. Neither of us could finish this "pizza" honestly. Perhaps the only redeeming thing are the prices - this might be the cheapest choice in an otherwise expensive neighborhood.

The company was great, the food was good and the service was terrible. The other 3 gentlemen ordered 2 pizzas, while I ordered ravioli. Notably ordered at the same time. And it is not to say that the pizzas were dropped instantaneously but after a reasonable wait. The came un-cut, and we asked the to please cut them. Miraculously, by the time they came back to the table, their cuts had already healed without major scars. And once the pizzas had been consumed, notably also not in a few minutes, the ravioli were still not in sight. Asked the waitress twice to check. Yes, yes, they are coming. They did not, and I canceled the order. Poor service. Would not recommend. There are literally uncountable better alternatives in London.

Between us, we ordered the Pepperoni Pizza, the Chicken & Peppers Pizza, Truffle Fries, and Chilli Garlic Cheese Fries. The pizzas were doughy and generously topped, the fries indulgent but somewhat predictable. Each dish was competently prepared though none, in truth, were particularly memorable. Service was friendly and accommodating, the staff struck a good balance between attentiveness and ease. While it would be overstating matters to call the experience exceptional, it was, in every practical sense, enjoyable. All things considered, Prezzo offers a polished yet unpretentious dining experience in the heart of London. It may not have redefined Italian cuisine, but it nonetheless provided a conducive environment for a perfectly pleasant supper.

We ordered the Bolognese, a Margarita Pizza, and the Gnocchi. The Pizza was delicious, i was impressed with the crust. The bolognese was had a healthy ragu and nice noodle, but lacked flavor. And finally the gnocchi was served very hot, with a healthy topping of cheese, simmering in a red sauce. It sounded delicious, looked appealing but unfortunately underwhelming. It was missing the depth you'd expect when it's a simple gnocchi , sauce and cheese. I'm sorry I couldn't give it a better rating.

Cons: The restaurant would benefit from another waiter for lunch hour, as service was slow due to the customers outnumbering staff, but the staff was doing the best they could given the situation. Or, maybe, Americans lack European patience. Lastly and most importantly, the food review... I found the food to be a bit underwhelming; the Carbonara lacked quality taste after the first few bites, it was almost as if you were only eating a wet warm noodle. Perhaps the sauce needs to be more infused with the noodles or just more sauce in general. The Caesar salad was okay, but the salad needed to be tossed with the dressing and the lettuce tasted a tad off.

We order a couple starters, including arancini and meatballs. I have a severe nut allergy, so we alerted the server as always. Once the starters had arrived, I asked the server if everything was nut free. He acted shocked and then told me he would check. He returned shortly with the good news that everything was safe. I had two arancini, which were good, but I still felt uneasy about the sort of careless attitude the server had. I started to get really anxious, so decided to ask the server one more time. He came back to me saying "I made a mistake". He showed me the chart which said the arancini DID in fact contain nuts. I began to freak out while he checked with the kitchen to see which nuts were in the food. He came back saying there were no nuts actually, so the chart was WRONG, but that I couldn't eat anything else except the salad I had ordered, "just in case." There was nothing taken off our bill, even though our server was extremely negligent. I do not know if other things on that chart are inaccurate, so please steer clear of this restaurant if you have any allergies or intolerances.
