Every plate at Mr Francatelli tells a story of heritage, passion, and exceptional taste.
We come from southern Italy, where food is a way of life—deeply rooted in tradition, family, and celebration. After moving to London in 2014, we wanted to share that spirit with our new community.
In 2018, we opened Mr Francatelli, an Italian restaurant in Westminster, with a mission to bring authentic Italian cuisine to one of London’s most iconic areas.
From handcrafted dishes to warm hospitality, every detail reflects our journey, refined, heartfelt, and proudly Italian.
From classic starters to indulgent desserts, every dish at Mr Francatelli is crafted with care, tradition, and premium ingredients. Explore a curated taste of Italy in the heart of London, made to delight every palate.
We’re proud to be one of the most appreciated Italian restaurants in Westminster and in the Whole London. Here’s what our guests say about their experience with us.

My wife Mary Kay, 22 year old son Sam and I were in London on vacation. We all eat gluten free (Sam has celiac) and were excited to try Mr. Francatelli. I told the owner this - the meal I had was one of the best in my 61 years on this planet - gluten free or not. The food and service were impeccable. We will remember this experience for a long, long, long time.Posted on Google![]()

Superb Food ... everything was wonderful.. i'm italian so appreciate good italian food. Mr francotrlli provides excellent traditional home cooking. We come quite often - the Ossobuco was mouthwatering..and the tiramisù was one of the best I've tried. Certainly worthy of a prize.Posted on Google![]()

호텔 바로 앞 구글평점 4.9의 이탈리아 식당이 있어 예약없이 저녁 5시40분경 방문했다. 입장하자마자 직원분들이 웃는 얼굴로 기분좋게 맞이해 주었다. 메뉴를 고르는데 추천을 받았고 추천을 너무 잘 해줘서 대부분 추천 받은 메뉴로 주문했다. 모두 완벽했다. 음식은 주문한 음식 모두 너무 맛있었다^^ 우리가족 4명 모두 만족했고 런던에서의 첫저녁식사 성공적이었다.Posted on Google![]()

We had an enjoyable meal at Mr Francatelli. The seafood was fresh, well cooked and nicely presented. We particularly enjoyed the linguine with prawns and courgettes and the seafood risotto, both of which had good flavour. The portions were medium, and while the service was perfectly adequate, it was nothing particularly special. The restaurant itself has a pleasant, intimate atmosphere. Overall, good food and an enjoyable meal, but not quite memorable enough to warrant a higher rating.Posted on Google![]()

What amazing food for a very very affordable price! All the food was spot on, amazing burrata and calamari to start, followed by the prawn pasta and tagliata. The steak perfectly cooked. Asked for medium rare and it was. A lot of time medium rare is medium. Drank a bottle of primitivo, 42 quid. Really worth the money. We arrived at 10pm so it was quiet but the staff made us feel so welcome and not rushed at all! Definitely coming back!Posted on Google![]()

A restaurant to visit again and again This small neighborhood restaurant serves delicious food with very special specials and consistently friendly service from the front of house team. I was there with just a few other customers on a quiet Weds night and only wished it had more guests to taste from the wonderful menu.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Auténtica cocina italiana con un servicio excepcional Una experiencia excelente en Mr Francatelli. Desde el primer momento, el trato del personal fue impecable: atentos, amables y siempre pendientes de que no faltara nada. Da gusto encontrar un servicio tan profesional y cercano. La comida también estuvo a la altura. Todos los platos tenían muchísimo sabor y se notaba la calidad de los ingredientes y el cuidado en la elaboración. La pasta estaba espectacular y los postres fueron el broche perfecto para una cena fantástica. Sin duda, un restaurante italiano totalmente recomendable para disfrutar tanto de la comida como de la atención. ¡Volveremos pronto!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

That special something! I was over the moon with the service and food in this beautiful Italian restaurant. The pasta was very different and special, with cheese slices mixed in with pasta and cheese sauce. Dessert went down well too!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
