Vecchio Parioli - Menu

Just lovely. Delicious food, really nice staff, great ambience. We came here before a concert because we couldn’t get a booking inside the Barbican but this was so much nicer – it’s my default from now on. What a delight.

My wife and I went for a meal before a concert at the Barbican. My food was OK but nothing outstanding. Presentation was a bit rustic and the service was adequate. Part of my wife's fish dish was undercooked and inedible. I wouldn't particularly recommend.

Superb! My wife and I popped in after having been to a show at the Barbican and we were quickly seated and indulged in some of the desserts here and a coffee to finish. The staff were fantastic given we arrived so close to their closing time and we left happy and content. View menu

Very disappointing in every way, the food the ambience this is a very tired old Resturant. The food was extremely below Par tasteless without any salt how can you describe Italian food as tasteless. They have succeeded in doing that. I feel very cheated that I wasted a meal and time at this restaurant.

Gambas in tomato and garlic sauce was divine. The pasta with sausage in tomatoes was equally good starter portion is adequate if having a genuine starter otherwise go for the main portion. Food is served hot and in a timely manner. Only down point is there is there should be 2 waiters instead of 1 to cover the 12 tables. Overall a good experience and will be back.

My wife and I stumbled on this great little Italian restaurant on our first meal together 7+ years ago. We were both struck then by how good the food was, and I'm pleased to report that nothing has changed. I had a really tasty minestrone followed by the best gnocchi dish I've ever had real depth of flavour. My wife's pollo alla Milanese was top notch, too, and all brought to us by friendly staff. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. View menu

Very authentic Italian food. Every pasta is delicious, and the grilled seabass is also excellent (but there are more fish bones, so be careful and don't talk when eating). Because I live nearby, I used this restaurant as a New Year's Eve dinner venue during the Chinese New Year. I was not disappointed. The food here is delicious and the service is also very good. The caramel pudding is sweet but not greasy, with the fragrance of lemon. The seafood pasta dish costing 16.60 pounds is my favorite. When I eat it, I feel like I am in the Mediterranean and I can feel the Mediterranean sea breeze

What a gem of a find this place is. Did some research and booked it for dinner with close friend and am so pleased. It is a small family run restaurant that has authentic italian feel to it. So quaint and peaceful, the food was exceptional. The prices are amazingly reasonable and the quality/quantity don’t justify the prices either. I had the grilled vegetables and cheese platter and my friend had king prawns which she said was soul warming. I then had a pasta from the set menu as a la carte which the restaurant happily obliged to, and she had the salmon. We had the home made tiramisu which was the best Ive had too. 100% recommended if you want authentic italian tastes with fair prices.

I used to go in here for lunch sometimes, more than 10 years ago. This time we were going to a concert at the Barbican and my first thought was to book us into one of the restaurants there. But they had no space and I’m SO GLAD because it forced me to remember Vecchio Parioli and we had the most lovely time in there. Among the four of us we had cod, pasta and veal. All reported as delicious! Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere is very perfectly family-restaurant. It’s unashamedly old-school, calm, and pleasant. We also had a lovely bottle of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo which went down very well. We made it to our concert ok but on a future occasion I will allow more time so I can en... View menu
