Forty Dean Street is the pinnacle of affordable Italian cuisine in busy Soho. We are a small, family run restaurant dedicated to providing incredible food at incredible prices. Our set menu boasts a variety of sensational dishes built around fresh, seasonal produce and has customers coming back on a daily basis. Our à la carte menu is a favourite with our regulars, the media crowd and tourists alike.
Italian food has been served at Forty Dean Street for more than 17 years, so we like to think there’s nothing we haven’t mastered. So pop in for an Aperol Spritz!

    Although the ambience was good and our waiter was new but charming, there were a few issues which impaired our visit: Incorrect order meant overheated food, not replaced with fresh; unable to swap tables from doorway despite others being available - and generally slow service.

    This was my third visit to Forty Dean Street this year and it never fails to provide a warm and welcoming experience to meet with friends, or for a business meal with a client. Highly recommended!

    I made the reservation on Open table for 9:15 pm and when I arrived at 9:10 they told me that the kitchen closes at 9:15. So i had to order in rush and the first dish was served at the same time as the main. So we could’nt appreciate our meal.

    We were very impressed with this restaurant. Our waiter was outstanding, the service in general was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious, all served in a very buzzy attractive, cosy restaurant. We were on a deadline to be in time to see a show and the staff ensured we had prompt service and finished our meal in plenty of time. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

    I chose to have my birthday here with my favourite friends and as always you and your staff (kitchen and restaurant) excelled themselves. It was such a lovely, memorable evening. Thank you for everything.
