EXCELLENT Based on 366 reviews Posted on Lisa TolmieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came here on a week night for dinner and for the price point we were unfortunately left slightly disappointed. One of us had ravioli, the other carbonara and both were just a bit bland. The only redeeming quality was the authentic guanciale for the carbonara. We had bruschetta as starters, which were average. It could have been due to time of year and certain ingredients not being in season, but at these prices I'd only consider returning in summer to try with hopefully fresh ingredients.Posted on SimonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Zorg voor klanten aan te raden . Top doe zo voort. Prettige feestenPosted on Luca GVerified A Wonderful Italian Gem in Westminster I recently visited Mr Francatelli in Westminster, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and inviting—warm lighting, tasteful décor, and a relaxed vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. The food is truly the star here. Every dish feels crafted with care, from the beautifully fresh ingredients to the authentic Italian flavours. The pasta is exceptional—perfectly cooked, rich, and full of depth. The seafood options were equally impressive, balanced and vibrant without overwhelming the palate. And whatever you do, don’t skip dessert: the tiramisu was light, creamy, and genuinely unforgettable. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The staff offered great recommendations and made sure every detail was just right without ever feeling intrusive. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a relaxed evening with friends, or simply some of the best Italian food in Westminster, Mr Francatelli is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be returning! 🍝🇮🇹✨Posted on Kevin UVerified Fantastico!! Fantastic find. This place is the nicest food most attentive service and pleasant atmosphere Italian restaurant we’ve found in the UK. Just like being in Italy with holiday Italian coming to the fore. We’ll definitely be back!!Posted on Paul WVerified Great restaurant This hotel was across the street from our hotel, and after a long day touring London, we stopped in. The food was absolutely amazing. The staff were all excellent. The menu had a lot of selection. We might stop in again, as we are here for five days!Posted on gino sVerified Un tuffo nella buona cucina italiana. Stavamo cercando un ristorante Italiano vicino al nostro hotel, ma non soddisfatti dalla varie proposte che sia Tripadvisor che Google Maps proponevano abbiamo cercato con più attenzione ed alla fine è comparso questo ristorante che aveva dei voti altissimi sia su Tripadvisor che su Google Maps. Abbiamo deciso di dare fiducia e ci siamo recati al ristorante. Siamo stati accolti da Davide, un giovane ragazzo siciliano molto professionale, che ci ha seguito con molta attenzione e consigliato nella scelta dei piatti. Un percorso degustativo curato da una chef Umbra con spaghetti alla carbonara e linguine all’astice come primo e un ottimo fegato alla Veneziana molto abbondante come secondo accompagnato da un contorno di patate arroste e broccoli. Visto che eravamo rimasti solo noi, abbiamo fatto una piacevolissima chiacchierata con Davide terminata con un piacevolissimo assaggio di un tris di digestivi rigorosamente italiani gentilmente offerti. E’ stato un tuffo nella vera e ottima cucina italiana gestita con passione che riserverà sicuramente molte soddisfazioni nel futuro.
Mr Francatelli offers authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Westminster, refined dining, delivery, and bespoke catering.
