The pizza was fresh and delicious! Got the napolitana, margherita with tuna, tortellini with spinach and ricotta and puttanesca (latter was a tad bit salty). The affogato was delicious and espresso was quality. We also got the cannoli (pistachio and Nutella — pistachio was perfect) and a bottle of red wine. Between 3 people, the bill was £106 and I personally think it’s reasonable.
Best part was the staff. I made reservations which is really recommended as the restaurant is tiny which can only seat about maybe 20 people at a time. I got a call informing me that the table I have reserved isn’t ready yet and if it’s okay if they call me back when it’s ready. They have a timeline which they called again to let me know it’s ready and apologised for the inconvenience.
Our servers, Olivia and Salvatore, were ever so gracious. Salvatore was our main server and he was a delight. Giving us tips for whenever we visit Italy, and just an over all delight during the entire meal.
The staff in general are great which makes the atmosphere welcoming and the food tasting even better than...
Read moreVery lucky getting a table via walk in on a Saturday night. The food was amazing, even my dish of pesto gnocchi - which on paper is a simple dish - the pesto tasted fresh and so rich and creamy, I couldn’t stop craving it the next day!!! (Need to learn how to make that pesto!) Great portion sizes, my partner’s pizza was huge and delicious as I stole a slice.
Service was accommodating and friendly and played a part in the homely aspect of the atmosphere.
Prices are extremely reasonable - 2 mains, 2 desserts, a beer and a large house red came to £27 each.
Another thing I noticed, a good few tables had Italians seated which I think is strong indicator of the quality of the food.
5 stars as we left as very happy and contented customers. I actually work in the area so will definitely swing by again!
So if you want good quality fresh Italian food, this is the place to go. Although we were walk ins, if you’re thinking of coming here the restaurant is quite small so definitely book ahead so you’re not disappointed.
Thank you Mio Restaurant &...
Read moreI visited London this past week on my first solo international trip, and due to the dozens of incredible reviews, I decided to visit Mio Restaurant & Bar. I definitely made the correct choice because the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I ordered the special buffalo mozzarella and pesto pizza, and it was so delicious that I went back a couple nights later and ordered their spaghetti bolognese and margherita pizza! If I had more time on my trip, I probably would've gone back a third time to try something else new!
Since I was a solo eater and didn't want to take up a whole table in an already tight space, I took my food to go, but I definitely regret that choice because the entire staff were so kind and made sure that each customer was well taken care of! Even as a takeaway customer, the staff made sure to engage with me and make me feel comfortable!
I couldn't recommend visiting Mio Restaurant & Bar enough, and I will for sure be visiting again on my next...
