  I hate reading bad reviews about such an awesome place. I have been here mutual ole times as it is in my monthly London routine.
  
  I have always been greeted by friendly staff with great recommendations although I usually end up getting the lasagna. So great!
  
  The inside is small, but comfortable. My wife originally found this place back in 2013 and I have been coming for the past two years.
  
  Great place, enough can not be said about it! Come see for yourself!

  Yes!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. The service is the best ever at an Italian restaurant, and the interior is cozy and you get a feel of Italy, with this old Italian music playing in the background as well.
  
  This incredibly great restaurant is located just a few blocks to the north of Piccadilly Circus, and there are no tourists at all in the restaurant. The food is so delicious and warm, and you just get feelings and thoughts of Italy.
  
  I really recommend eating here. You'll instantly notice the reason when you do it!

  Such a great little Italian restaurant. We were looking for somewhere good to eat on a Sunday night in London which proved to be a trying experience. London, wtf? Anyway, we strolled into the Piccadilly Restaurant around 9:30pm; we were the only people there at the time and still received excellent service from both the host and the waiter. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and has a very cozy feel. The decor is quite interesting which framed photographs and caricatures on the walls.
  
  The menu offerings were more extensive than many places we had been to (and looked up) in London. We started off with the garlic bread - the bread itself was light and fresh but it wasn't super garlicky (we like ours super garlicky). Additionally, it costs $2.95 per person to get rolls, butter, and olives for the table which we found kind of weird. Nevertheless, the main courses were delightful. I tried the Scampi Provencal which was a great little dish - I asked if I could opt for pasta rather than rice and it wasn't a problem at all! I also tried a side of the spinach which was delicious. My other family members had the Cannelloni, Vegetarian Lasagne, and a veal dish - all of which they enjoyed greatly.
  
  We weren't planning on getting dessert but upon seeing the dessert menu featured a "Bombed by Chocolate" dish, we couldn't say no. We also tried the Creme Brulee which was fantastic, and I had an espresso which was incredibly rich.
  
  A great experience overall; however, its bathrooms are NOT handicapped accessible as they are located on the 3rd floor (up two flights of stairs) which is not the most fun after quite a meal.

  Second time I come here. Ok restaurant. Nice profile as they don't do pizza, so you can get other real Italian dishes you might struggle to find in most other Italian places in London - which do nothing but mostly pizza and pasta.
  However, food could be better, and it is quite pricey for the quality. Carbonara, I could make the same quality in my kitchen. Good, but really not impressed and worth £12. I hear the veal is worth it, though. Tiramisu tastes like industrial crap and is £6.95 a piece...
  Mixed feelings overall.

  The waiter was extremely rude and outright deceptive. The food (including the meat!) wasn't fully cooked. I guess the location was convenient...that's the only positive thing I can say.
  
  When we asked for regular water, the waiter poured expensive bottled water before we could say no. 4 pounds. He then made it sound very much like a salad was included with entrees, only for my two friends to find an additional salad charge. 7 pounds each.
  
  We were the only people in the restaurant on a week night, and when we did get our food, it was not horrible. However, the meat in my ravioli wasn't fully cooked - my friend and I shared a panicked look when we saw the pink meat - but nobody ended up with food poisoning.
  
  Between four of us, we ordered risotto, ravioli soup, the chicken entree and the meat ravioli, and nobody particularly liked our dishes, especially for their extreme prices. In all, with just a basic dish and no alcohol, it ended up being 80 pounds for four people. Ridiculous. Never coming back.
