"I used the OpenTable app to book La Cucina as a last minute booking. When I walked in the door with my family, we waited to be seated, or for someone to approach us to ask about a reservation this didn't happen so I approached the bar/desk about half way up the restaurant. I showed the staff member my reservation he explained there was no space. He seemed to confer with a women who didn't look at or approach me, and when he came back to me said I would have to wait about 20 minutes. I returned to my family by the door and realised I was unsure if I actually had a booking here and there would be a table in 20 minutes or I was coming back to check if there was a table. I approached the desk again and spoke to the woman this time who dismissed the reservation I had and said they never received it. I asked when I would be able to eat, and she suggested coming back in 30 minutes. I asked if there would be a table in 30 minutes and she said that she would hold one for me she didn't take my name or any details. I didn't return and I won't. I don't mind if something went wrong with my reservation and if it wasn't received. The dismissive attitude and ambiguity about whether I would be able to get a table at any time turned me off this restaurant."

"Great pizzeria with real Italian vibe. It is always full which is a very good sign so try to get there early as possible. Pizzas are delicious and clay-oven baked so they have that typical Italian taste that fast food ones doesn't. The oven is at the back of the restaurant so you can actually see when the pizzas are taken out of it once ready. I have also had the Carpaccio di Manzo (raw filet slices), the Gamberoni Frittii (fried shimps with garlic) and the Linguini alle Vongole (pasta with tomato sauce and clams) and they were all delicious."

"We arranged to have a celebration meal for my sons birthday. We obviously wanted to make a fuss over him turning 9. I arranged it when we originally booked and also spoke to the waitress who took our order and delivered our first 2 courses on two occasions. She even took a note of my sons details but then nothing ever happened. Will probably head back for a meal at some point. But feel a bit frustrated over how much we paid with very little back. Only 2 adults one child and a toddler. Now we're home I feel I could have better spent the money on something else. Bit of an anti climax to our afternoon/ evening."

"Just what I was looking for! After several days of traveling and lots of pub food, I wanted some savory Italian cuisine for comfort. The menu was unassuming with lots of traditional options. The pizza was fantastic with really amazing crust. My colleague enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs. The wine selection was nice for an inexpensive and home style meal. We were well cared for and offered an lemoncello after our meal. The server called us a cab so we didn't have to walk around in pouring rain. I'd definitely eat here on my next trip to the Windsor or Maidenhead area. It was nice to have a change from a super tourist dinner or a traditional pub dinner."

"as soon as they enter the restaurant, they feel the warmth of the server. Before I commented on their dishes, I would like to say that the server were exceptional! they were very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and more. our experience here was much better because of the staff. for eating! I have eaten a lot of authentic Italian food, and la galleria sits right on the zaun of authenticity. the dishes we ate were delicious in view of the price, but if authentic Italian cuisine is what they are looking for, they could be a bit disappointed here. only light. I'd eat here again!"

"We didn’t actually get to experience the restaurant as the place decided to close without telling us. I had an email confirmation for a reservation on 27th December before a trip to the Barbican to see a concert. I tried to phone that afternoon and as there was no answer, just presumed they were busy as it was the first day that the Barbican had reopened following their Christmas closure. I didn’t want to let an independent restaurant down in the current climate so we still went, to find it ‘Closed for the Christmas break until 4th January’!!!!! We were so disappointed and it really took the edge off our evening. There were no other options so we had to jump back on the train to Liverpool Street and grab a McDonalds….. not really what we wanted for our Christmas Day out in London. Shocking customer service given that they had my email and mobile number. Even now, Google and Trip Advisor say they are open and there is no post on their Fb or page or website to say they are closed. No message on their voicemail either. A business should know that our of date social media and internet exposure is worse than not using it at all. Get your act together Cozzo. I will be calling you for your comments when you reopen!!!!"

"Me and my 16 year old friend purchased a pizza yesterday evening after sitting up on Primrose Hill. Whilst waiting for the takeaway box (as we didn’t want to eat in), my friend accidentally knocked a pepper shaker off the table. As I was in the toilet at the time of the event, I had no idea it had even occurred. As i returned to the table, i was preparing to pay the bill and a male waiter starts aggressively asking me if I was also going to pay for the broken shaker. Stunned into silence at the fact this grown man was shouting at two clearly young girls in the middle of the restaurant, as well as the fact I hadn’t known what had happened, I couldn’t answer him. He proceeds to say ‘are you stupid? Am I speaking Chinese? Answer the damn question’ still shouting. A very kind female waitress proceeds to tell him I wasn’t present and it was my friend that broke the shaker. My friend apologised profusely as well as me, yet he continued to berate us until we left. If I had been at dinner with my parents and I accidentally knocked over a shaker, I am almost certain quite a scene would’ve never happened. It disgusts me that this restaurant believes they could treat two teenage girls as less than human, showing no compassion whilst we showed mountains of remorse. I actually really enjoyed the pizza but will never EVER be returning because of this treatment."

"The venue, food, service, value and portions are all 10/10. I absolutely love the whole vibe of this restaurant, it feels so authentic and the staff are all so lovely. My first encounter here was a first date back in 2015; we have visited many times since but to point out a few special ones, we returned to celebrated our pregnancy news, our engagement and then most recently when that date became my husband, we came back to Sorrentina with our family to celebrate our wedding day. The organisation for our party of 25 was impeccable, the food all came out in a structured and timely manner. The quality of the food was incredible as it always is fresh, authentic Italian food cooked to perfection Sorrentina is the perfect little spot for a romantic dinner, a family meal or a larger party meal. Sentimental feelings aside, I truly cannot fault it in any way. Needless to say we’ll be back! But more importantly, the feedback from our 20+ guests that hadn’t been here before was that they all really enjoyed the food, the staff were lovely and that they’d definitely return. Some have even gone and recommended it to their friends and families local people supporting a small local business! A humongous thank you to Tony, Emilio, Adriano and all the rest of the lovely staff, there wasn’t any other place we’d have wanted to spend our day."

"We were dinning here a few days ago. Waiter was standing and looking at us the whole time. We ordered pasta dishes, could eat quarter of it as all was swimming in butter and fat. Worst part was a dessert, after we ordered the other waiter at the bar was heating all our puddings in the microwave behind the counter and looking all the time that noone sees what he is doing. I would never go back, for the same price can eat fresh and nicely cooked food in other places."

"Having eaten in many Italian restaurants, including in Italy, I find it near impossible to find a decent Italian restaurant. However, the food and atmosphere is as good as being in Italy. The food: Always delicious. I've eaten here more times than I can remember. I've never had a bad meal. The dishes are all full of taste with generous portions. Everything is homemade and tasting amazing. The service: The owner Fabio is a true host. He is friendly, welcoming and always happy to recommend and help you choose. Despite being busy he makes time to come to your table and say hello. Atmosphere: A restaurant with every table full, all smiling, laughing and often regulars, what more can you ask for. In my opinion you will love this restaurant. Everyone I have introduced has come again and repeatedly loved it."

"this is by far one of my favorite restaurants to visit the city center. I have always visited with a gourmet society card, which means 50% of the total bill. the restaurant also offers a lunch that is absolutely worth it. even at full price are the parts enormous and excellent. I recommend the quattrozero board. this is an excellent taste of all the best of the dish antipasto, paprika salat, arancini, calamari. we had this in the past for two, but believe me, there is more than enough for four. Now as gluten-free diner, italian is not a kitchen that I would choose in the rule. I was very impressed when they offered me a gluten-free pizza. my other favorite option is the melanzane parmigiana as a lasagne, but with cut aubergine instead of pasta leaves. a word of warning, although- the portion is huge and I have begun to ask for half a part as I can never finish it! my non-GF friends were always satisfied with their meal times. what is really great is this place offers so much more than just pizza/pasta, but right, delicious Italian cuisine. quattro zero never lets you impress. the staff is wonderful and the food is delicious filling and comforting. make sure to add it to their lists."

"We visited a fast food restaurant with a comfortable seating area, including high chairs for children (a nice touch). My family and I visited last Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a variety of Indian, Chinese, and standard fast food items such as kebabs and pizzas. Our order was freshly cooked and overall very tasty. We would definitely return in the future. I agree with other reviews that the staff was friendly and the service was good. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, with spacious seating areas."

"We had a lovely time at this place. We were 4 mums and 5 children ages 2 to 10 years old. We didn't book but they made a space for us. The staff are very welcoming and made us feel welcome as soon as we came in. We were offered high chairs which were a good height so the 2 and 3 Yr old could eat at the table. The atmosphere is vibrant which I like. Very Italian. The food was lovely. The chicken Kiev usually comes with potatoes but I exchanged it for fries. Everything came out hot and fresh. The pizzas and garlic bread were very nice. My 10yr old had the pesto pasta which she said was delicious. I had the tiramisu which was awesome. Homemade. Thr mascarponi was so delicious. I was stuffed until I couldn't move! The bill was £160 for 4 adults and 5 kids which I thought was fantastic value for money. Would definitely return."

"Nice, warm and lovely place. Already have been in there a couple of times but never had the chance to take some pictures and to write a review. The food was always good and never had any issues, the staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are decent for food and drinks. We’ll definitely revisit the place at some point."

"Went here randomly as the nearest place to where I met a business partner... and was blown away by the food quality and service. The staff were fantastic attentive and engaging, and clearly very experienced. The price seemed impossibly good for such high quality meals, with very decent portion sizes. The spicy chicken penne was amazing. The tomatoes tasted very real and the aroma reminded me of my Mediterranean heritage. The pizzas looked amazing too, freshly made on site from scratch, baked in view of the seating area, and a very good size considering the price and attention to detail. No silent adding of tips to the bill was the icing on the cake."

"frightening customer service. rude and indifferentes personal. does not believe that we are booking for afternoon as “we do not take bookings in a weekend”. they gave us a table. tee arrived and the brioche so advertised was missing and the scones were rock hard. When I drew attention to it, I got “so you waited 10 minutes to tell me about the scenes”. there was also a language barrier, or at least it was like they didn't understand what we were trying to tell them. I never had such a terrible experience as this. Avoid this place as the plague. I wish I would be on trip advisor. the reviews for this place are not good."

"The food was great (had a very lovely afternoon tea) but unfortunately the service was poor; although polite when speaking to us the service staff pretty much ignored us once we had ordered our food. My friend and I wanted to order another hot drink but had to wait 45 minutes for someone to take our order (despite attempting to get someone’s attention several times) and then again when wanting to get the bill it took standing up and putting our coats on after another long time waiting (and asking several people) to actually get the bill. I want to blame it on how busy the restaurant was however we saw several tables around us come and go in the time we were there."

"Small, busy and crowded restaurant but with a great ambience and a welcoming vibe. The food, when it came, was very good indeed. We ate early on a very hot Saturday evening and had to wait more than an hour for our starters to arrive. The service, though friendly and efficient (requests were actioned properly and promptly with a smile) suffered from a kitchen that didn't seem able to keep up with the orders. In fairness, this might have been because the place was packed with diners the whole time. This meant it was a very noisy restaurant and it was hard for our table of 4 to hear one another speak without shouting. The location is excellent and we will definitely come back possibly at a quieter time of day/week."

"Top grade experience overall, the staff were very kind and approachable, I wouldn’t advise coming here alone or at all if your a wheelchair user though, the main toilets inside the restaurant were up a flight of stairs and there was a small lip in the doorway of the restaurant entrance, to which I luckily managed to get my wheelchair over with the assistance of my sister, who was with me at the time and two other staff members. When my pizza was being served I didn’t think it was fair that this deserved a place on the pizza scale because when I indulged the first mouthful of the pizza I had it was off the hook scrumptious and matchless to all pizzas I’ve had in the past 6 months in a restaurant. I will definitely be looking forward to visiting again soon, I may even consider for my 23rd birthday, it was a delightful experience."
