Excellent food. Excellent friendly service. My wife and I had 4 appetizers and were very pleased. Portions were big. 2.5 appetizers would have sufficed as a meal. read more

This little Italian place in Covent Garden treats you like family. We found based on popular Yelp reviews and made reservations. The cafe is tiny, with maybe a dozen tables inside and another dozen on an enclosed patio. The place is dripping with Old World charm right down to the deli counter. We sat inside in a cozy corner table. Tables are so close that you get to know your neighboring guests. In our case, the neighbors were regulars and gave us some menu tips. We laughed and visited. The servers are all friendly. We had several people serve us. Water came quickly as did our wine and beer. For dinner, I had the Oak Smoked Salmon Salad. The salmon was delicious and plentiful. The capers were salty and exquisite. I loved the gently pickled onions. I was given olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dress the salad as I wanted. My husband had the Gnocchi "nduja" which was spicy and delicious. We also enjoyed the Garlic Bread which was a stone fire cooked flatbread. I'd return and highly recommend. read more

Mediocre food. Not what the other reviews promised. Chicken salad was a scam. Pasta dishes were very ordinary. Not worth a visit.

We were hesitant at first but after our first sip of wine we knew it was going to be great. The red wine Barbara was delish! Suggested by the staff. Best expresso martini we've had in a while! We also got the cacio de Pepe and the wild boar ravioli. They both were delish but wow the ravioli was next level! Highly recommend eating here! read more

We had a great time at Prins Sapporo d'Italia. The staff was friendly and helpful. We sat on the patio and with the heater and wind block it was a pleasant night in November. The drinks were good. But the star of the show was the pasta. Both gnocchi dishes were excellent. The carbonara was one of the best we had ever had. I had the truffle dish and it was good but not as good as the others in the group but theirs were fantastic. Our friend who got the salad said it was fine but regretted not getting pasta big time. Definitely would go back and check this place out if you're in the area! The table next to us had pizza that looked good too. read more

This was the sweetest little Italian restaurant with AMAZING food and wonderful service. I had the wild boar and truffle ravioli which was so delicious and my husband had the tagliatelle pasta with 3 meatballs which was also so good. But the service here is the star, I have never laughed so much during a meal. Best pasta dinner ever. read more

I'm American. I came after the market closed. Immediately had an espresso martini. It was delicious. Our server was super kind. We ordered a carbonara and a bufalina pizza. Both were phenomenal! I had a bottle of Malbec. Beautiful. So much food we needed to-go boxes, which they gave us gladly. They even gave us a limoncello shot before we left complementary. Service was excellent. read more

Great location, nice European streetside cafe vibes, decent food, slightly disappointing serving sizes. We got done with a matinee show (Frozen) with the kids and weren't ready for the day to be over and the kids love pasta, so we looked for well rated Italian nearby. This place popped, so we came. I was expecting a bit of a fancier Italian place, but I actually kind of dug the casual cafe vibe. The white plastic sign above the place saying "pizza & pasta caffé" that looked almost fast food touristy, maybe didn't but I ignored that. We were able to get a four-person table outside immediately and the service was fast and friendly. We all got pasta, my wife got the carbonara, I got the sausage and mushrooms and we just got the kids plain pasta. The actual pasta was all clearly home made (or at least not store bought) and yummy. It wasn't amazing, but at least cleared the bar for what you might expect from a decent Italian restaurant. As far as the accoutrements, the carbonara was very good. My wife has always been obsessed with carbonara after having had it done amazingly a long time ago. I've never quite gotten her obsession, but this was the first time where I thought it was really, really good. It was easily the best thing we ordered. The mushrooms and sausage were good , but other than butter and garlic there wasn't really anything going on. I don't have anything against butter and garlic, but it was just missing something. We also got two glasses of montepulciano that were easy drinking and nice to enjoy while outside on a warm summer day, but nothing to write home about. read more

Fantastic Italian restaurant. It felt like we'd transported to Italy. My wife had the Tagliatelle Carbonara. This was a creamy pasta dish with just enough guanciale (tasted like bacon) to give it a meaty twist. The first waiter, he brought us drinks, said the best dish is the Ravioli Tartufo & Porcini. The second waiter, who actually took out the order, said he had the same dish for lunch. I couldn't go away from two separate witnesses. They were absolutely correct. The wild boar Ravioli was awesome. Absolutely recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, the food, and the service! read more

If you're craving some delicious Italian food... this is the place! I ordered the ravioli... Wild Boar with mushrooms. I can't remember the name. It was delicious. Our service was excellent. Not hovering but took care of us. We dined outside. Beautiful real flowers. Not much traffic on the street. read more

Very good Italian restaurant that's around the corner from Covent Garden Market. Seems like more of a local place and not "touristy" at all. The food and service were top notch and my pork shank was hands down the best I've ever had! Never had to use a knife b/c it just fell off the bone and melted in my mouth! read more

As an American who isn't familiar with Jubilee Market but has been to the adjacent, more popular Covent Garden, the restaurant can be a bit hard to locate. It's a great setting next to a fresh flower vendor. The service was good. The menu was very good, lots of options. My wife is gluten intolerant and her pizza was terrific. The crust was one of the best she's had. My adult children had pasta dishes and they enjoyed them both. The serving sizes were ample. read more

The crab ravioli was really really good and my husband got a mushroom tagliatelle dish which he very much enjoyed. We also got bruschetta and burrata with prosciutto which was not bad. It was a good meal, but there was something lacking. The ambiance was a little loud (not patrons) from the banging of dishes and servers. It was located semi in a shopping area so easily missed. The meal also wasn't particularly a good value and there was a 12.5% fee added. All in all, it was a decent meal, but for $70+ meal, I would've wanted just a little more something. read more

We had the pasta with mushrooms and sausage, the meatballs, the layered aubergine and the pesto pasta dish. Everything was fresh and flavorful. They treated us to a complimentary Limoncello for "dessert". All planning for what to have next! read more

The reasonable price in Covent garden might be your first clue. The half in half out "Al-fresco" dining would be fine if it wasn't raining or 1000° sticky hot and the kitchen oven wasn't right next to you. The service was fine; standard Italian atmosphere with the mafia boss-like manager/owner who silently exudes "we'll feed you but don't fuck with me" vibe. The table and chairs are rickety for an uneven patio. Honestly the food was disappointing. Like the menu was once delicious but the execution is now tired and lost in translation. Bread had no butter or olive oil offered. Wild boar ravioli was indeed chewy and for a cream sauce it was bland and under seasoned. The prosciutto & melon was giant wedges of unripe melon, with full pieces of prosciutto just laid over them like a blanket over rocks. The prosciutto itself was decent, but again the execution and attention to detail lazy and uninspired. I suspect unwitting tourists continue to come here because of its proximity to the market and enough high stars despite mixed reviews. With the cost of food, supply issues I realize restaurants are struggling to keep quality up, but I don't think scrimping on salt should make that big a dent in your bottom line. read more

I had been craving pasta after seeing the word 'spaghetti' on a building somewhere - the word association is strong with this one. After being turned away at a fancier place down the street, and adrift without reservations on a Saturday night in Covent Garden, a combination of Yelp and Facebook reviews (weird, right?!) led us to this spot. They had a table open right away, which alarmed me a bit, but once we were sat next to a table of Italians cheerfully enjoying a pizza each all of my worries melted away. The menu is pretty extensive, with lots of pizzas and pastas. Jonesing for a homey, basic dish I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese, and my friend got the lasagna. We also split an order of bruschetta with tomatoes - delicious, the crusty bread toasted, soaked in olive oil and garlic, the tomatoes fresh and juicy. My pasta was exactly what the doctor ordered, cooked to perfection, savory and meaty and heartwarming. My friend's lasagna tasted just like my pasta, only cheesier... I'm hungry now just thinking about it. The service was warm and attentive, with lots of folks with Italian accents in the joint. Everyone was personable and friendly. The prices were super reasonable, and the food came out quickly. I ended up being glad that the fancy place had turned us away! read more

The food was delicious and the service was great, I recommend this for genuine Italian meal.

Cute little place, albeit a little cramped (hello many places in Europe), the service was a little slow (however, it was just one waiter it appeared for everyone to share), the food was pretty tasty. Walking through London on our way to Selfridges, we stopped off for a quick lunch. Wasn't that quick, but still good! read more

Incredible. Food, vibe, & service were absolutely amazing. Went for the first dinner and last on a trip to London. The carbonara, pizzas, and truffle ravioli were phenomenal. All cocktails were well worth it as well read more

The pizza was amazing and pasta was very good. The atmosphere is a little louder and busier but I did n't have an issue with it.

Stopped here after a day of touring London. Great food. Friendly service. Busy crowded atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Excellent Italian food in Covent Garden! Not gonna lie, a little difficult to find but hopefully Yelp has updated their info The service was kind and attentive. We ordered garlic bread to start and it was delicious! It looked like a small white pizza. I had the gnocchi bolognese, mom had the lasagna and dad had a veggie pizza. Everything was absolutely delicious! We loved everything. I didn't think I would be able to find such authentic Italian food in such a touristy area but boy was I wrong! read more

My ravioli, the dish with wild bore and porcini, was fresh and tasty, if just a tad under-seasoned (salt needed). Montepciano wine lovely but the typical gouge price where you pay for nearly a bottle and receive a glass but, hey, it's London. This isn't a chain and is actually run by Italians --hooray! And yum. Service slow, but no slower than in Italy ... The place is hidden inside the Arcade behind a gaggle of artisans selling their wares....go in and look for it. There's no sign outside, as far as I could maintain. But decent, fresh fare that won't break the bank. Unusual in Londontown! Recommended. read more

My husband and I had a lovely, impromptu dinner at Prima. We loved the food, and the service was warm and attentive. We had the caprese salad, Americana pizza and bruschetta. The bruschetta was amazing, with warm artichokes and mozzarella. Our server, Yasmani, was fun, welcoming and had a wonderful sense of humor. We sat in the outdoor seating and enjoyed the cozy ambience. Prima is a great find in Covent Garden. read more

My husband and I were very satisfied with this place! We did not want to go to any franchise food place since we were traveling. My husband got panini and wine, and i ordered goat cheese salad and tea. They were all good! We are happy with food and the service was so welcoming, too. They did not rush. They check if leverything is good. If we come back to London, we will definitely visit this restaurant again. :) read more

I was drawn to this place because of the high rating. But I was very disappointed. I got the Spinach and Pesto ravioli, expecting fresh, in-house pasta (since the photos on Yelp made it look fresh). But my ravioli had that chewy texture that comes from either dried or frozen pasta. In this case frozen since it is a ravioli. Go across the Thames for fresh pasta near Borough Market (I won't name names). Sorry, Prima Sapori! read more

Cute little place just off of Covent Garden market. Couldn't find it at first but if you find Abuelo, it's just off the side street there on Tavistock street. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Very efficient with specific requests made as well (e.g no Parmesan etc). Ordered the carbonara and it was delicious! Very creamy and the bacon bits were like no other! Pricing was fair, around £20 per head for main course each and shared starter for two plus drinks. Portion is a decent amount as it is very filling! Would definitely come again. read more
