First off, everyone there was just amazing! Soooo nice and a lovely time. The owner came out and let my 11 year old cousin talk his ear off and laughed and smiled the whole way through. The food was amazing but what stood out the most was the calamari. It’s one of my favorited foods and I can for sure say that this one was the best I have ever had.

I had lunch at Delfino Mayfair and would rate it 4 out of 5. The food was delicious, with generous portions that were very satisfying. However, the restaurant felt quite tight, with no sense of privacy, which was a bit uncomfortable. The value was reasonable given the prime location, but the service could have been better – we had to call the waiters a few times as they weren’t very attentive. Overall, a pleasant experience with room for improvement.

Traditional Italian restaurant at the heart of Fitzrovia, Sergio’s is a favourite with any regular visitor to the West End as well as attracting tourists with the combination of an excellent Italian menu and warm welcome. Occupying and enviable corner spot on Great Titchfield Street, the restaurant is easily spotted thanks to a large red awning under which diners enjoy al fresco eating whatever the weather.

Great tasty food especially with the specials. It is better to sit upstairs if you can. Service was friendly just a little haphazard/ chaotic. You may need to repeat your order to make sure it arrives. I absolutely loved all the festive decor.
