    We had dinner here with a group of Italian friends, and we can be very demanding when trying Italian restaurants here in London. It turned out this was a very easy win. Luigi was a wonderful host, professional, funny and very charming at the same time. He served us some complimentary ciabatta and olives to kick off the evening, and the starters did not disappoint. For me especially, I was able to eat alici fritte, a rare find in London, which were just perfect. Calamari fritti were also perfect, tender and juicy. The most popular main course was homemade gnocchi with a seafood sauce, which was straight out delicious, but panuozzi with burrata was also a big hit. Special mention to desserts: amaretto tiramisù and mojito panna cotta are a must if you have a meal there. We'll definitely go back for more and take more friends around!

    One of my greatest experiences in London, awesome staff and incredible tasty food. Probably one of the best restaurants in the English capital. Thank you GM Gigi, Chef Lello and Andrea for your talent, passion and enthusiasm! I highly recommend Spasso for anyone in NW and beyond!

    I had dinner at Spasso with my girlfriend, back in April. We had the cheese and charcuterie board to start with and two pasta dishes to follow. We were then too full to order a dessert. The quality of the ingredients was great and Luigi, the owner, was very knowledgeable and approachable. He even let us try his special homemade limoncello. We will definitely go back.

    My friends and I were in London last week, and one guy had been planning to eat here since before he left the US. I meant to review the wonderful meal we had. We all tasted each others orders, and two of my four-person group said that the steak I ordered was THE best they’d ever had. It was a top 3 for me for sure. The co-owner who I think is named Emilio (sorry mate, memory is fading in my dotage!) was a delight to chat with as was the chef, who came and spoke with our group for some time. I will definitely return if life brings me back that way, and I highly recommend them.

    Last week, I celebrated my graduation at Spasso. I ordered the event's menu, which included meat and vegetarian options. I had a wonderful time. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive to details. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed this special celebration.

    A true little treasure in the neighbourhood. Their menu doesn’t try and do 100s of dishes, but does a few things to perfection. Had a wonderful meal, starting with some tasty, creative, and surprising cocktails, and then on to beautifully flavourful starters and mains. Everything was brilliantly cooked, and delicious. The staff were welcoming, and the chef gave us the insider’s view of the dishes. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough; we will be back, sooner rather than later.

    WOOW!! This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool snd their staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups. Food is HILARIOUS, the best italian classics, and their prices are 100% worth it ;) Thanks Luigi and Chef Lello, Andrea

    Absolutely brilliant experience at Spasso! Had the most amazing Tiramisu Martini and incredible service. Luigi is the perfect host. They made space for us when they were busy and were chatty and attentive with our table. Food was excellent and overall made a lovely evening out. Would absolutely recommend.

    A comforting experience for a Neapolitan girl like me who found the friendly atmosphere of a Neapolitan restaurant paired with a level of service that's true high-end London. And the food is just amazing. The chef Lello clearly knows how to handle his ingredients and gave us tasty dishes that were very true to the originals. Recommended to those who want to try the amazing flavours Neapolitan cuisine is famous. Really proper seafood, and we're definitely going back to try more and more of the specials. Staff were all lovely and discreetly checked in on us throughout our meal, so we felt looked after but never inconvenienced. Andrea was an attentive and friendly waiter who greatly contributed to our lovely experience. The restaurant has a clean, cozy and relaxed vibe while also being stylish.

    The food was tasty and served in a good portion. We had a warm welcome from the staff. Our order was taken quickly and the food arrived rapidly on the table but to be fair, we were the only customers in the restaurant. The reason why I don't give 5* it's mainly because of the prices. I managed restaurant in central London and my prices are less hight (comparative made on the drinks). See pics of the bill. But other than that I recommend the place.

    I had to write this review immediately!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How many stars can I give this place? I came here from the reviews and I am not disappointed. The food is Thoroughly and Authentically Italian and delicious 🤤 🇮🇹 The owner Luigi was so friendly, thoughtful and attentive to everything we asked. Andrea was also extremely friendly and attentive and you can tell that the staff here take an extreme level of pride and care in what they do. It was a lovely environment with lots of different couples and families. Everyone was made to feel welcome like part of The Spasso family. I cannot recommend highly enough.. Thank you to you all for a most wonderful evening.. we will be back and very soon. (Essie massage therapist)

    Came in here not knowing what to expect, but got served by a friendly waiter and loved the atmosphere. Was a little surprised that as an Italian restaurant, pizza wasn't on the menu however I got a really delicious carbonara. Everything felt very authentic with a great drinks menu and had a lovely evening. Can't wait to come here again!

    Went there the other day at a friend's recomendation. It did not dissapoint. The cocktails were great tasting and nicely presented ( the negroni especially) and the seafood pasta was just amazing. Luigi was very curteous, and we ended up having a great evening. If you like italian food, this is one of the few authentic places that can satisfy you.

    My husband and I really liked the food! We ordered the rib eye steak and also the duck breast. Both are very delicious and a must-try! On top of that, we also tried the tiramisu, which was amazing! The owner is very friendly. He even gave us a complimentary chocolate almond cake that we also liked. Pretty sure we will come back here soon.
