Il Cucciolo could win an award for cuteness with its two arched fairy light-filled windows either side of a small arched door just up the street from Technicolor Piccadilly Circus. Inside is as cosy as you’d expect; neatly dressed tables subtly illuminated by faux candle wall lamps. Patient, polite staff expertly serves a modest range of traditional Italian pasta, meat, vegetarian, rice and fish dishes. Carefully-prepared specials change daily alongside a very good value set menu!

    This was my forth visit to the restaurant. It never fails to please. We had lunch on Saturday, arriving at 12.15. The restaurant was already bustling with a happy atmosphere of dining. We immediately felt welcome and spent a happy time enjoying a very pleasant meal, accompanied by a bottle of one of their wine recommendations. The service was great and the meal, for two courses, coffee and wine, good value.

    We've been to I'll Cucciolo on several occasions when visiting London. We usually visit either before or after a show. As yet, we have never had a bad meal or service. Keep up the fantastic work...
