This restaurant serves truly excellent Italian food. We were lucky enough to get seats at a high table overlooking the open kitchen, which made the whole evening both entertaining and enjoyable as we could watch the chefs at work. The food was outstanding. The pasta was delicious, the meat was incredibly tender, and every dish was full of flavour. You could really tell that great care went into the cooking. The restaurant was very busy, and since we hadn't made a reservation, we had to wait for a table. However, the staff were kind enough to fit us in later that evening, which we really appreciated. Because it was so busy, the servers didn't have much time to spend with us, but they remained friendly and efficient. The lively atmosphere, combined with the exceptional food, made for a fantastic dining experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily return.

Superb dining experience, maybe the best food I've had in London. We sat a the bar and it was by far the best choice because you feel part of the whole cooking experience and take part in the life of the restaurant. The pasta al ragu was fantastic, the tuna steak divine and a very nice surprise was the partridge on foie gras. All excellent!

Loved Bocca di Lupo I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get there it won’t be long before we go again! All the food was great, pasta on point, delicious. We loved all the dishes we had. We nearly ordered a second portion of the wine poached peaches it was so good! The menu changes every day which is great and it’s up to date on line which is much appreciated. The counter seating was great and service very friendly I highly recommend this restaurant.

This was my second visit to Bocca di Lupo and it did not disappoint. For me, it is one of the best Italian restaurants in London. I was there to celebrate my friend’s birthday and we had an amazing time. Martin looked after us really well. He gave us great food suggestions and he is very friendly and funny. The team was also very sweet and surprised us with a hand signed birthday card. We had the grilled turbot and the T-bone steak, which comes from the same cattle used to produce Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Both were excellent. The crab linguine was also very tasty. I highly recommend this place, whether for a casual meal or a special occasion.

Absolutely loved Bocca. We discovered this place by chance while drifting around Soho and snuck in for a drink and a few nibbles. We were already booking our return a week later. On both visits we were treated like family. The food was incredible - authentic Italian with food we’d never been able to find in London. The wine list by the glass is great and they have amazing cocktails. We’ll absolutely be back. Photos are only of a few of the plates we had (was too much in a rush to try the rest)
