    The Ned is a stunning hotel and this restaurant, to the right hand side of the Lobby, is a great addition to it. I love Cecconi’s food and also how their three London restaurants are so different. This one benefits from the hotel’s live music, helping to create a buzzy vibe. This one also has a good size bar too (in addition to the hotel’s central bar) - a great place to hang out whilst waiting for guests. Great food, great atmosphere and good service - no faults for me.

    Simply put, my dinner at Cecconi's was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Everything is done well here - the atmosphere is warm and elegant, the service is friendly, and the food is outstanding. I started with their Island Negroni and the mushroom arancini, both of which were done well. For my main, I ordered the beef tagliatelle; the pasta was cooked perfectly and the beef sauce very tasty. Service was attentive throughout, and the focaccia basket is proactively refilled. I'll be sure to return the next time I'm in the City.

    We had a very lovely evening at Cecconi‘s at the Ned on Friday evening. The service was amazing and the food at Cecconi‘s is never disappointing no matter which one you go to. You know that you will get high quality authentic Italian food. The cocktails taste amazing and the live music playing made our date night truly special. The only thing I must say though is that, as a regular customer at Cecconi’s, I have noticed a 80% price increase on a few meals (especially starters and pasta). If you google a menu from Winter 2020 and compare it to the most recent one, you will see how drastic they have increased their prices.

    Italian 🇮🇹 food heaven in the heart of the city! ⭐️ + Fantastic menu with exquisite food. It was hard to choose dishes so many were great. + Staff were friendly and had a sense of humour making the visit feel a relaxed and special affair. + The beef carpaccio was delicate and light. With the lobster 🦞 linguini being phenomenal. Loads of lobster pieces with most of the work done for you which helped a lot. Super tasty. + Dessert 🧁 🍨 was like being in Italy! The tiramisu (as you can see from the photos) was unreal and so tasty. - Little bit difficult to find as there are 9 restaurants. - Very very busy but you’d expect that from such a great place, and the staff made it not feel busy. Great place to come and a little gem 💎 considering it’s in such a huge place. Good for lunches and a special occasion.

    Love this restaurant. The staff are super professional and on point. The setting is beautiful (it's a former bank, now hotel). The food is excellent. I ate vegetarian options, my guest ate meat and fish. Save room for the desserts. It's usually full of city works having an expense account lunch. I went with my financial advisor and he paid so that was good for me!! It's pricey but worth it for good food and a special occasion. I wrote a review for my blog so am sharing some of those pictures with you.

    We tried the Sunday feast which costs £90per person, with the price tag I expected the food to be a lot better than what it was. Yes the lobsters and oysters are unlimited but the lobsters were SO OVERCOOKED it’s chewy. Hot dishes are generally poor too, pasta is under seasoned, lasagna less than mediocre, Yorkshire pudding is burnt, selection isn’t huge and a lot of them are just salads… desserts were just horrendous, so bad that supermarket desserts can easily beat it. Both me and my partner were just very disappointed. Service is decent but could be more attentive. live music is WAY to loud and not very good, rather listen to Spotify.

    We went twice for the fest at Cecconi on Sunday. We find it quite tricky to book for table there as the demand is quite high. They charged £90 per pax and it is a buffet setting and comes with a glass of beverage of your preference(Prosecco, champagne, beer) Ambience: I would say the seating area it is clean and nice, live jazz music while you dine, could be abit of noise if you sit nearer to the band. Service: Might need some improvement on the service, we see the waiter walking here and there but they just wouldn’t clean our plates after we finish for rounds. Could be more attentive given the price you charged us is service inclusive. Food: Good selection given that this is in London😂 I mean I wouldn’t have sky high expectation for buffet in London, but I’m quite happy with the selection at Cecconi. The selling point is they offer unlimited lobsters, fresh oyster, prawns and smoked salmon. Taste of the seafood is fresh at least, it’s a eat-all-you-can so I wouldn’t fault it the way it cooks, I am happy as long as it is fresh. The rest is just mediocre dish such as variety of salads, lasagne, hot pastas, pizzas and nice selection of dessert as well. I really do enjoy the pana cotta, tiramisu and profiteroles! Bummer is they don’t offer a free coffee/tea to compliment with your dessert…you have to pay for extra if you want to have a hot drink later. Overall was quite a pleasant meal at Cecconi the Ned! I would recommend my friends and would revisit again(not in next few month as I had way too much lobsters since my last visit😂)

    The atmosphere of this place is amazing. The building which the restaurant is in is beautiful and when we came here for a late dinner there was live music which made the vibe of the place even better. The food was really good, especially the pizza tasted amazing. When you have a simple pizza with anchovies and you still cannot forget about it - then you know it was good. The place also does amazing cocktails and in the late hours it definitely have the nice bar vibes.

    We are back home in Sydney now – the end of our 2 month holiday in Europe – but before we left London last Tuesday, we celebrated with a late lunch at one of our London faves Cecconi’s, in the beautiful Ned Hotel. If you haven’t been I highly recommend it as one of the most beautiful establishments around - from start to finish, around every corner, there is yet more to adore. Restaurants, cafes, bars… I will write a separate review about The Ned. We’ve eaten here several times - the food always consistently good. The staff less so unfortunately, though I should say, there is a pecking order of levels here, from basic servers to more senior waiters - this time we were lucky & our waiter was a dream - he dealt wonderfully with all my nitty gritty questions, knew all the answers and helped me so much, with no attitude whatsoever. He welcomed & in fact encouraged my questions, which is extremely rare! Wayne had a delicious Chardonnay - Cervaro Chardonnay, Castello della Sala, Umbria, which at £19 per glass you’d hope so! My non-alcoholic Punchy was perfect. We shared 2 entrees which were delicious - the Vitello Tonnato is one of the best. Very generous serve – tender & the sauce just right. Our mains were superb as well - my pasta was cooked al dente & the cheese was so refined. Personally I think a thinner pasta works better to soak up more sauce but it was delicious all the same. Wayne’s Veal was so tender & tasty. Rarely can we fit in dessert - how do people do it!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, and let me tell you, it's like a culinary amusement park. The venue itself is a wonderland, but the service is a bit like playing roulette - sometimes it's a hit, sometimes it's a miss. Now, when it comes to the menu, it's like a gastronomic symphony. You've got your high-end delights and your cozy comfort food all in one place. It's like they want you to experience an epicurean rollercoaster. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out on a food adventure of epic proportions. The place is massive, with so many nooks and crannies to explore that you'd think you stumbled into a food labyrinth. It's like a treasure hunt for foodies, and they've hidden amazing, high-end bars throughout, just waiting to be discovered. One thing I must commend is the impeccable cleanliness of the toilets. It's a small detail but makes a big difference in the overall experience. Now, let's talk about the soul - not the philosophical kind, but the dish. It was cooked to perfection with crispy, golden bits and succulent, tender flesh. It was so beautiful that I almost felt guilty for devouring it. The drinks? Oh, they were spot on. Perfectly poured, perfectly served. No complaints there.But here's where the story takes a twist. The food ordering experience was a bit hit and miss. It felt like a slow-motion race to get our orders in, and there was a delay that even a sloth would've found frustrating. Maybe they were trying to build suspense? Who knows?All in all, it's a fantastic city venue with an upmarket feel and a great ambiance. I'd say, keep up the good work, but maybe work on the speed of service. This place has all the ingredients for a fantastic dining experience – they just need to mix them a little more efficiently.

    Came here for breakfast and got the prosciutto, eggs, and burrata dish which was topped with some freshly sliced truffle. It was very good and very filling! The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked. It was not crowded but busy in the morning. The ambience and service were great. Would recommend this spot!

  • 5/5 Andrea T. 4 months ago on Google
    Great spot inside the Ned where you can taste some one of the best pizzas around the City! Prices can be high considering the the high end location and atmosphere, but if you are looking to have some very nice italian food Cecconi is definitely a great option. Came here on a Thursday evening and had one of the best pizzas while being very well positioned to see and listen to live music in the main hall. Service was ok considering the busy night. Beer was overpriced for a half-pint, but if you feel like having a tasty pizza in the City look no further.

    Started of with a not so good and overpriced starter of calamari; I’ve had way better calamari for less. Also the attitude of one of the male servers was a bit passive aggressive. Despite that, the main and dessert made up for it, and the other female servers were lovely and patient. I loved the live music and the vibe and atmosphere of the whole place in general.

    Had 8PM reservations at Cecconi’s last night. Restaurant was pretty empty, asked to sit in a corner booth and the hostess said there was a party of three reserving that spot but no one ever came the entire night we were there (we left around closing). Took them a while to come to our table to take our drinks orders. When they did come we ordered espresso martini and a vodka martini. Definitely regretted the espresso intake last night, heart was racing. Two is more than enough. The espresso martini was sooo good we ended up ordering seven of them. The vodka martini was very different compared to what we are used to; not bad but didn’t order again. For our starters we ordered the San Daniele, Gnocco Fritto, Focaccia bread w/ olive oil, Buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil pizzette, and the Beef Carpaccio. The focaccia bread tasted a bit stale so we ended up telling the waitress and she was kind enough to take it off the bill. The beef carpaccio was good but needed some more dressing, and tasted a bit plain. The pizza was very very tasty. The sauce and mozzarella on top were delicious. But the SAN DANIELE WAS TO DIE FOR. My boyfriend and I were so obsessed we were going to go again for dinner to just order that. It was fried dough almost like zeppolis with thinly sliced prosciutto. SOOOO GOOD!! For our meals we got the Veal Milanese and the Cacio e Pepe. Both tasted amazing. The veal could have been a little thinner and needed salt but when we squeezed extra lemon it tasted good. I asked for the cacio e pepe with less black pepper and they listened. Cooked to perfection and tasted sooo good. The pasta was al dente just how I like it. For dessert we got the Profiteroles, amarena ice cream. Looked so good on Instagram pictures but when we tried it, it wasn’t for us. The ice cream in the middle tasted icy and the profiterole itself was hard. They came to the table and poured hot chocolate sauce all over, very nice but still didn’t help with taste. They were kind enough to also take that off the bill since we both only took one bite. If we are ever in London again we would definitely love to come back. Located inside of the Ned Hotel, has romantic vibes with dimmed lighting and live band. Loved it!

    The Sunday Feast is really an experience! The service and atmosphere was utter flawless and the food is good, but not outstanding. I gave 3 stars due to the fact for 90£ per person would be great to have the table for 3 hours and really take the time to enjoy everything on offer. I overate so quickly I literally gave myself stomach cramps! Don’t be greedy! Take it easy.

    We came here yesterday for a hen do and were not disappointed. The venue, atmosphere, food and drinks were excellent and it was a lovely afternoon lunch. The food specifically was literally outstanding. I had the beef tartare, pumpkin risotto and finished of with tiramisu and oh my gosh, it was unreal. The drinks were lovely also - we tried some of their champagne and a couple cocktails and they were wonderful, particularly the Old Fashioned. The service was good too as was the atmosphere. The inside of the hotel was amazing and so full of character, plus the live music in the centre was incredible. I would definitely recommend a visit! :)

    Amazing place for a special occasion, live music, stylish interior with indoor seating. Delicious pizza and pasta with lobster, friendly service and great wine list

  • 4/5 Andrea C. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice experience, nice location, great service, nice atmosphere. I tried the Sunday Fest all in all it didn't go badly you can eat without limits, honestly for what I spent I would have gotten a better quality result by ordering à la carte, but rightly you can't have everything in life. Experience to do.

    Wonderful dining experience on our wedding anniversary. An experience to saviour. Special mention for Adam who took care of us and the the food was delightful.

    Dined here because I was unable to book a table for Ned’s Feast on the opposite side on 3/12. Cecconi’s is slightly different from Ned Feast, having bottemless pasta and pizza to order from the table. Lobsters,oysters and sunday roast are also available and a glass of processco is included. Lobsters are very fresh and meaty but the oysters are on the thinner side. There was a huge variety of desserts and cheese on the other side and I do recommend having the Tiramisu at the end to wrap up the huge meal. Overall, the bill is on the pricey side and there is less variety of hot food available when compared to buffets in Asia. However, I cannot complain too much as there was limited hotel restaurants hosting buffets in London . I would say it still worths a visit if you have a large stomach and a seafood lover.

    Wonderful afternoon at Cecconi's Feast, their version of the wildly successful Ned Feast that's been drawing in crowds on the other side of the room. An array of food, from salads and charcuterie to a full roast and lobster, weigh down the bar. Pizza and pasta is available to order. And a wonderful dessert table full of brownies, jelly beans, panna cotta and tiramisu. At £100 a head (£165 to include unlimited champagne) it's not cheap, and firmly falls into the "special occasion" category. But it's a gorgeous setting, the food is fantastic and the service excellent.

    Bad food. Tuna tartar looks more like arugula salad and is very salty. Can barely taste anything but salt. After I complained starter was too salty, the next dish lobster spaghetti is flavorless. Could be a place for drink, def not for meal.

  • 5/5 Dominik K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails and friendly service. And let’s not forget well-crafted pizzas. Prices are in line with other City establishments & tables have a clear line of view of the live music stage, on most evenings.

  • 5/5 Celine P. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the ned and love cecconis at the ned. Food was very tasty. We visited on a Monday, the live music was great and food delicious. Only negative feedback would be that the service drastically changed towards the end of our meal, our waiter wasn’t present anymore and the manager taking our payment overcharged us and then charged one of the card again while refunding. She was very apologetic and reacted in the most professional way.

  • 4/5 Tahel P. 2 years ago on Google
    Extraordinary service. Good vibes. Food was good but not the best Italian food I had. I would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Nandini M. 4 years ago on Google
    Came for the Sunday brunch, and it was absolutely delicious. Their pastas are really delicious, we particularly liked the cacio e Pepe. The spread is incredible, and they’re very flexible with the options.

  • 5/5 Kris P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful simplified menu. Couldn't fault anything about this paradise. Staff are very professional and courteous. Arrived 10 mins early for our reservation and was seated promptly. Very happy

  • 4/5 Yahya I. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and drinks but the service could've been better. I had ordered a white russian, it comes layered so you really can't drink it without stirring it first. Had to keep asking for a drinks stirrer quite a few times. Simple request but took ages and had to ask three times.

    Went there without any reservation on a Saturday evening. It was quite late (10 pm) and they gave us the table straight away. However the kitchen was closing at 22.15, our lovely waiter (Carlo) didn't rush us. He answered all our questions about the menu calmly and professionally. My friend ordered Pasta cacio e pepe, I ordered Salmon tartare and we shared arancini. Everything was delicious! Really very tasty. Focaccia and Pane Carasau were offered to us and I have to admit that the focaccia was the best one I tried in several years. We even ask for the recipe, however unfortunately at that time kitchen was already closed. I ended the dinner with a Mango sorbetto. Lovely dinner, tasty food, good live music, amazing place! super recommended!

  • 3/5 San Jose H. 1 year ago on Google
    A bit disappointed. Our server was great and the food was nice but the person who ran the floor of the restaurant needs some etiquette lessons. She appeared at our table to say we only had about 30 minutes left and we were still eating. Her next appearance was to inform us we had 5 minutes. As we were still drinking our bottle of champagne, a more appropriate statement of “so sorry but we do have another reservation, can we move you to the bar to finish your drinks” would have been nice. Sadly, we did our after dinner cocktail elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Sian L. 11 months ago on Google
    We were served today by Emilia.J. The service was amazing. Our table was continuously cleared and set with fresh cutlery. The food was fresh and the options were really great. We were two adults and two children. Our children loved the selections and enjoyed the fine dining! We will definitely be coming back.I would definitely suggest going for the brunch.

  • 5/5 Rob B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Nice lady out. Comfortable with plenty to watch. Raised stage in the building centre and had a young band playing. Sat at the bar for a drink before going to our table 😁

  • 2/5 Social M. 1 year ago on Google
    £80 for a very average buffet lunch. Really was not worth it. It seems their big draw is the building itself and their half lobsters, but frankly they tasted recently thawed and were tough. Rest of food on offer was uninspired and I’ve honestly had better buffet in shopping mall food hall. All of the waiters were excellent, hence 2 stars and not 1

  • 5/5 Fi R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow!! What a great night! The venue is amazing, our waiter Ricardo was so much fun - he made our night! The food was perfect! We even had a magician visit our table at the end of our meal! Such a great night HIGHLY recommend!

  • 5/5 Natalia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Birthday dinner, great service and food. A fabulous fancy night. £60-100 per person

  • 5/5 Adam F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful early dinner with my family. The Ned is a superb place to visit. Cecconi’s didn’t disappoint , lovely wait staff and great good. Having the live band playing in the Ned was a great addition to the experience.

  • 5/5 Mihai M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful Italian restaurant inside The Ned London hotel, with tasty food and live bands entertainment. It is a great venue for special occasions, so I am warmly recommending it.

  • 2/5 Joe S. 1 year ago on Google
    Awful. That's the only way to explain our meal here Friday night from start to finish. Everything from the drinks served not in the right glasses to average at best starters and then the most bland and tastless mains I have had this year. I'm a big fan of The Ned and Cecconis in general but alot needs to he changed at this restaurant.
