Reviews of Cecconi's Pizza Bar

A. P. C.

Great experience. The food is delightful and very nicely presented and their pasta as well as their desserts are to die for! The staff are kind and very fast. Overall a high quality restaurant for family and friends.

I. N.

Nice dinner experience in the hear of Soho. Close to all of the London attractions, it's a nice pre / post theatre hang out. The pizzas are quite good, well baked and creative. I do find it weird that some pizzas are not with mozzarella by default, and yet the waiters ask you to add a supplement for. The Caccio e pepe was very good and it's nice to have the choice between small or normal portions for the pasta mains. The service was all in all quite good and the atmosphere was nice. One thing that I do find weird, is the fact that on the check, they charge more money for a single espresso than a double. In our case it didn't matter much, but overall very bad.

O.

Accommodated a table of 17 for us. Did a great set menu sharing board of starters, then your own main, then shared desserts. Amazing food! Pizza was huge and great. Pasta was small though - only negative I had. Thanks so much guys was incredible!

R. A. A. L.

Very central. In the heart of Soho. We had a glass of Prosecco, an Aperol spritz and a focaccia. All three were nice. Quite difficult to find a seating outside as it was very crowded although it was a Sunday evening. Great place for an aperitivo.

I. A.

I love this place! I've been there a couple of times, and always left having had a great experience. If you ask me, my favorite thing in the menu is their Truffle Arancini - definitely a must if you go there!

J. F.

Mixed experience. Apart from the one very friendly waiter, who had a great energy it was impossible to enjoy this place due to an obnoxiously loud staff who was commanding the food orders and pretty much yelling like a gladiator - in London I have never experienced anything like this. Shocking. I could not hear my friend talking to me. It's a shame, because the place is nice enough and the food was great. Just how can a human be so insensible?

R. T.

Excellent food, kind staff and very decent prices, less expensive and less fancy than the original cecconi’s but same ownership apparently. Would definitely recommend. Almost everything we ordered was excellent, especially the truffle cheese balls and the pizzas 😋

D. N.

Delicious food and cocktails, charming professional staff and good vibes

S. R.

Finally reopened!!! Was waiting few months to eat my fav pizza and zucchini ❤️ delicious like always! Many thanks to manager Arleta for a warm welcome and looking after us like a pro 🥰 See you soon!

I.

One of the most fun pizza bars ive been to. I went out with a bunch of friends in Feb 2019 and we found this bar that also sold the most delicious pizza ive ever eaten. Amazing to get drunk and have super amazing pizza. There's also great music and a little area to dance. One of my most memorable evenings ever!

S. B.

Starter and dessert, very good. The main, they weren't bad but, I would have expected a bit more for the price. The pumpkin ravioli with truffle had literally only 4 ravioli....honestly 6 wouldn't hurt as it's a main; however they were very tasty. The pizza was good, but maybe overpriced by the fact of having a bit of truffle, next time I would try something without truffle. The panettone was very very good, I loved it!

C. B.

Have been here a few times now and it never fails to deliver. Top food, fast service and strong cocktails. Try the meatballs starter, as it's possibly one of the best sauces / gravy's you've ever had.

D. D. R.

Cozy pizza bar in the heart of Soho. Prices are as high as you would expect for the location, but food is grand and staff extremely friendly. Nice interior design.

L. K.

Stopped here after seeing a show at The Prince Edward theatre and thoroughly enjoyed the pizza. The only downside is we had to wait over 30 mins for our table even after booking ahead. The staff were very considerate though and provided great service once we were seated.

A. D.

Best food in soho Chef Andrea surprised our table with the best fresh food. Hardly recommended!

N. K.

The pizza here was nice but could've used a bit more cheese. However we were looking for a nice restaurant but the music here was too loud for us. Might be someone else's cup of tea. Buratta was amazing and staff were lovely.

E. A.

Lovely restaurant and perfect for date night. Great atmosphere and food is 10/10 have been twice and both times staff were friendly. Great mojitos too

C. R.

Amazing location!! There is never a bad time. one of my top 5 favourite places in London...classic food, drinks, and atmosphere.

M. P.

Excellent food and wonderful service, will definitely visit again

C. F.

Booked a table here on Monday and really had a lovely experience. We sat outside the restaurant to managed to get an overhead heater. We had the pleasure of being helped by the lovely Emily, not only was she very knowledgeable but also an absolute joy to talk with. We had the focaccia and truffle arancini to start and we where blown away at how good they where. Then we ordered a pizza and pasta dish for our mains. Large portions and both dishes where delicious. Having only eaten in the original cecconis in Mayfair I was interested to see how such an iconic restaurant would keep their standards with another restaurant but I guarantee you’ll not be disappointed. It’s a little more casual here but just as fun with amazing service and great food. Hope you enjoy as much as we did and we look forward to visiting again.

Y. R.

My favourite place in Soho, you can always gaurentee great service and amazing vibes

K. L.

Food is nice but pretty average... beware the bowls of pasta are teeny tiny. Service was quite slow and they didn't bring the water we asked for. Vibe is fun though, especially with all the tables outside

E. S.

Really lively atmosphere, tasty food, friendly service and decent value - what's not to like?

A. C. C.

Good service and good food. Our favourite was the truffle arancini. The Napoli pizza was a bit on the salty side, that's why the 4 stars. Tiramisú was also really good.

E. W.

They have chilli flakes and not chilli oil. The mark of excellence

H. X.

The waiting staff are lovely, always smiling and very patient with people but the food was not great. The pasta portions were small and over salted and the garlic bread was very salty. I would go for the pizzas If you go.

J. M.

I had a great time, food and service was just perfect. Thank you

R. P.

The staff are pleasant and fairly attentive. The avocado, chickpea and chilli starter was okay, but needed seasoning as did the rigatoni bolognese as the ragu was a little bland. The zucchini friti was delicious. I wish I ordered a pizza to test the quality. It's a shame as we expected the excellent service and very tasty food we've experienced at Cecconi's Mayfair and at The Ned, but Cecconi's Pizza Bar unfortunately didn't live up to the standard of it's 'big brother and sister'....

L. L.

They were busy so service was off to a slow start outside. But once we got going the waitress was super efficient. Possibly the best pizza sauce I’ve ever tasted. Zucchini fries were awesome too. Best place to people watch. Definitely recommend.

G. M.

The food was delicious. But the service was not attentively. It was very cold because the door didn't close properly. The pricing doesn't make any sense. You pay double the price for a small or big pasta but only a small difference for a tiny pizzette or a big pizza. I didn't get it and I was unlucky with my choice of pasta. If you're hungry always get the bigger choice in pasta or pizza.

A. F.

I go to Cecconi's pizza bar every Saturday evenings either for dinner or for drinks. It is a cool place because you can have tasty Italian food (I am Italian and I can assure you it is 100% authentic) while enjoying the nice vibes. On the evenings the lights go down and the musics turns up for those who love good music but also enjoy a chat with good friends. Last but not least, Giulia, the general manager with her staff always providing an excellent service. Highly suggested.

G. S.

Very busy pizza restaurant, got a table quickly despite it being full. Ordered drinks and water and courgette fries, but had to ask again after the fries appeared with no drinks. Cocktails are well priced; they definitely do not make them weak, but lacked finesse. Had an intact half a lime in mine, made me laugh a bit. Pizza's are large for the price and decent, but again not amazing as a lot of people have said here. Wouldn't take much to make them really special. Mine got cold quickly, which is a shame because even the crust was good. Apart from the delay in getting drinks, the staff were welcoming and quick to serve.

D. D.

Quite a fun place for late drinks (music gets loud), but service is appallingly slow

K. I.

Very vibrant and lively pizza bar. We sat at the bar and ate as there were no tables, but I'm glad we did as it was great to see everything going on. Will definitely be going back as the pizza was lovely and the staff and service were great.

A. R.

Family here from Australia. The staff here were incredibly, fantastically, unbelievably friendly and welcoming, even when we had minor money crisis and payment was an issue. Through it all and even after everything was sorted, the manager and all the servers (Alex especially) were so hospitable it almost brought us to tears! On top of that, the food was brilliant and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful. Please please stop by this place if you’re nearby!

J. A.

Nice Pizza Bar. I visited during the 3-6 happy hour which advertises pastas for £5. I would recommend ordering 3 pastas between 2 alongside a pizza as the pastas are quite small. I have been to other branches of Cecconis and this is definitely a lot more informal than the other branches.

S. V.

Very good pizza and a great atmosphere

R. H.

Great food. Had such a great experience before, but very poor service today, having to get the attention of staff and no engagement when paying the bill, just walked off. Such a shame for such a great place.

J.

Love this place. So good we went two nights in a row. Pizza is as good as it gets. Pastas and salads are excellent. Incredibly reasonable pricing. No wonder it’s hopping. Great concept for Cecconi’s. I hope they open other.

A. P.

great staff, nice atmosphere and a proper Saturday night out vibe

J. H.

Really very different from the Cecconi's in Mayfair, and impressive that the same owner can create two venues which have such dissimilar vibes. Presumably a lot of this comes from the location, and this place feels very Old Compton Street. Staff friendly, food seemed very reasonably priced (especially if you're familiar with the Mayfair branch), the pizza is decent and they have Negronis pretty much on tap.

B. D.

Friendly staff, good service with a decent deal on moretti

S.

Lovely staff & OK food

J. M.

Finally a place where a health conscious person can get food and drinks along with their friends who like carbs loaded grub. Only one negative is Music is too loud. I was told I wasn't first one to complain about this. Shane this puts the best experience down unless management decides to change policy.

A. M.

Great food for a decent price. The calamari was incredible. Good music and atmosphere for a saturday night. Definitely recommended.

a. a.

Guys I really recommend Cecconi Pizza Bar, amaizing atmosphere for a great evening were you can enjoy an authentic and delicious woodoven pizza plus the stuff are really friendly especially Mattia his very helpful! PS:You must try the TIRAMISU there it's the best in all London ❤

E. G.

Adriano and Silvia are the best! I really reccomend the place and these bartenders! They take care of you, so friendly and they make you the best drinks in the Italian style!

S. S.

Good place for nightime munchies but shame bout the fire last night

G. H.

We came here for a quick meal and got a dish of pasta and pizza within about 10 minutes, and the £10 deal for a drink and pizza were great. Maybe during peak times this place isn’t so great, but when it’s empty this place is amazing.

S. P.

We LOVED Sylvia and her amazing positive attitude & brilliant customer service - even remembering us 6 months after our first visit!

G. M.

Best time with friends to enjoy the Italian style aperitif with Cicchetti and Italian food, affordable price for tasty food!!! Good for lunch and dinner in the heart of Soho! Must be there to enjoy it!!!

N.

Food was so good, especially the truffle arancini. Service was brilliant even though they were really busy.

h. s.

Service was a bit slow to start, waited 15 minutes for wine, even though the restaurant was quiet however it did get better. The cichetti was great and the live music was good fun.

(Translated) Good Italian cuisine, well known as a restaurant chain. On a Friday evening quite crowded, but at the bar you will find good space. Great pizza, good atmosphere, good DJs, although the music was very loud. All in all, good, have paid 30 pounds per person including alcoholic drink and appetizer. (Original) Gute italienische Küche, recht bekannt als Restaurantkette. An einem Freitagabend recht voll, an der Bar findet man aber gut Platz.

(Translated) Just in the night.Stuff is ok, beer and cocktails are a bit expensive and not so good compared to other places. Dono was only in the evening in pubs mode, the place is nice with nice people but I noticed that the cost of cocktails and beers were a bit 'high compared with other clubs in the area.
