"Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants in St Albans. The food is lovely and the employees are delightful. We had a fairly large group of eight and were accommodated quite easily and with no trouble at all. We had appetisers, mains, desert and coffee. The food arrived on time, hot and was absolutely delicious. The wait staff were super friendly, relaxed and really appeared to enjoy their jobs. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and tidy. Absolutely no complaints. Five star service and food. Will most definitely visit here again and highly recommend Bar Espresso to anyone wanting a really nice meal and good service. Thank you Bar Espresso."

The name belies the awesomeness of the service, vibe and exceptional food. Generous portions of superbly presented meals. I will return with friends. Thank you for an amazing Xmas Party feast.

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is fantastic and Ross makes you feel very welcome. He has made my granddaughters feel extra special on their birthdays. The constant busyness shows how popular it is.
Suzanne
Absolutely outstanding. Food was exceptional. Very Italian taste and vibe. Very attentive but not intrusive staff. A great restaurant where you are made to feel like part of the family. Looking forward to trying their new restaurant. Would highly recommend! View menu

Genuine Italian cafe and coffee bar which is popular with the Italian community in the area. Great coffee, breakfast, lunch, and cakes. I have not tried the evening menu but it looks good. Has alcohol license and free wifi. Located right next to the main station in St Albans. Highly recommended.

Third time eating here and again, the food and service was wonderful. Staff are really friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Four of us had three courses each (two of the main meals were beautifully cooked fillet steaks), a bottle of house wine and three beers... Total bill was £35 per head. You can't eat at a Beefeater for that money and have the same quality of food and service. Make sure you book a table as they're always busy. Tonight was a full house from start to finish.
