Uffizzi Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in London

5.4.18

Having gone from going weekly we have been twice in the last 2.5 months. The prawns have been really overcooked (really white in colour and fibrous visually then chewy once touched) the last 2 times and the Carbonara has been really inconsistent. The last Carbonara the bacon was overcooked and hard with zero sauce which meant the pasta was dry. This time I asked for the bacon to not be overcooked and for some sauce, the bacon was perfect but instead of Carbonara sauce it was mainly cream, which is better than dry but not perfect as I've become used to. The pasta was warm.

Another gripe is that I normally order a large portion of prawns (x2 starter portions) as a starter. We've been charged £8, £8.50, £9, £11 and £11.50. One could argue that they're all cheaper than 2 starter portions of totalling £12. I did ask why the price was so inconsistent and the waiter came back after asking and said that someone else determines the price. As a result I've ordered a normal size starter portion to save on confusion.

We've been going to a closer Italian for my Carbonara fix but they sadly don't sell the garlic prawns.

With each visit being disappointing I've been less inclined to go back since it's a mile walk to get to.

Love love love Uffizzi. I always order the butter king prawns and either a Carbonara or the spaghetti meatball dish. Pasta portions are HUGE and my husband LOVES their crepes. Their pizza's are delicious. Desserts are always good too.

The service is consistent as is their food. The prawns are always done just perfect. I'm Chinese and always appreciate it when seafood is cooked well (the prawns should be not quite grey or white in colour - which is perfection). Uffiizzi definitely cook their prawns well and they're ALWAYS fresh. My throat swells with any seafood which is older than 3 days, I've never had any issues with Uffizzi. In other restaurants I have to ask if the seafood is older than 3 days and when it is I've been told to order something else. I don't ask Uffizzi because it's...

Myself and the wifey, went to Uffizi, yesterday afternoon (Sunday) as we hadn't been there in quite a while. For the life of me I don't know why we left it so long. Just as I rememberd. The Food was outstanding. We had the starter's, Alette Di Pollo (which was chicken wings in a slightly spicy tomatoe sauce) that was fingerlicking tastey.

The wifey had Garlic pizza bread with mozzarella. Told me that she could of eaten more of that. (even tho to me it looked like a small pizza, and thats a good thing) Our mains were Lasgane and a side of fresh chips, wifey almost licked the bowel on that, but thought better of her etiquette, lol. I had the Calzone, of which I kindly asked if I could swap out the ham and pepperoni for beef and chicken and the waitress said, "no problem". For drinks we had a shandy and a glass of coke. with the meal.

As we were leaving we were deciding to go somewhere for cocktails, But so happens that we saw the chalkboard sign outside the restaraunt. which said happy hour from 5 to 7. So yes we went back in, to the Lounge/Garden Bar at the back of the restaurant. It was like a complete different building. So to us, it was the cocktail bar we were looking for, yaaa. I had the Negroni wifey had the Pina-Colda. A super great experience, The waitress' Linda and Maria were amazing, and chef's food was oustanding could not fault them at all ... Oh yeah I almost forgot that we also had a complimentary Bailey's either that, or the Lemoncello. I must highly recommond this restaraunt, without a shadow of doubt. Thanks so...
