"Haven't visited this place recently, as we've not had many warm summer evenings of late, but and these seem few and far between.The restaurant is one of a chain of Spaghetti Houses in central London and is within easy walking distance of the British Museum. Its charm is the large, open air shopping arcade in which it is situated.It itself, this restaurant is a decent, run-of-the-mill outlet specialising in simple, Italian dishes, all suitably tuned to the average, British taste. The wine list is standard and has a good range of low-budget wines to suit just about any non-discerning wine buff. The menu is simple and not too detailed, but with enough choice to cater for (almost) every carnivore, with vegetarian options available too. The choice of pasta dishes is extensive and they always seem to find special shapes of pasta that you just cannot buy in any shop! The quality of the food has never disappointed.The thing that has always attracted us to this place is not just the tasty pasta dishes, but also the wide, quite grand, Victorian' arcade. It is lined with small shops and book stores and the restaurant has created a very pleasant and comfortable dining area with rows of tables and chairs to the side of the walkway. So simple, yet very useful if you don't want to sit inside a warm, crowded restaurant in the summer or if you have a pushchair and young children, or if you have an elderly relative with a zimmer frame or in a wheelchair.The staff are always really good with young children and very friendly. Each time we've visited they have always been an all-Italian crew. And very jolly they are too!"

Really great food at very reasonable prices. Could not recommend highly enough... the terrace is wonderful and the staff are really friendly. Top eatery!

How can this place still survive the food is a travesty.The group used to own a factory in Seagrave road that mass produced the lasagne, ravioli and canelloni.

Always had a great meal here, they cram you in so there is always a good atmosphere, and the staff are great, good sense of humour while maintaining excellent service. The prices are very reasonable for London too....you wont be disappointed.
Bianca
beautiful restaurant quietly located just 5 minutes to walk from holborn metro station. we had dinner here beforetheatre and were close to the time, but did not need to worry, as the service was prompt and the food delicious. attention, but not intrusive staff would definitely visit again!
Sebastián
I cannot rate this place highly enough. I shall leave a more comprehensive review when I have the time but for now suffice it to say that this is the best Italian eatery I have been to. Quality fare, simply cooked. Hugely generous servings, reasonably priced, charming staff, and just excellent, excellent delious fresh food. View menu

we have booked this restaurant for a meal with our family to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary. we used to eat in this spaghetti house before we were married, so it kept special memories for us. Unfortunately, eating was not standard. there was no steak and no salate for a Caesar salad, who threw a bit down on another special day.
Heather
we have never set ourselves right, because the button movement on the reservation leads them to the spaghetti house on the goodge street, not to the restaurant on the sicilian avenue. the goodge street restaurant could not accommodate us (and were very rude) and we had no time to make it into the other restaurant, because of a theatre booking. we tried to ring, but they didn't pick up! eating and ambiente may be great, but their phone, email and communication skills are appalling. a nice pub that made a nice cake. not the pasta we had hoped for!
