"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 enjoy this great restaurant thoroughly."

A fantastic little Italian restaurant. Service, atmosphere and food outstanding. We shall defiantly be going there again. It’s so popular you must book in advance, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

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.

overall a very decent meal, good quality, right aromen, but something lacks creativity and raffinesse (my spinat with garlic was much too garlicky) and the weinlist could be a bit longer and better. ok for a meal, but I wouldn't just go there for her food. atmosphere cozy and warm, friendly service.

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.

vecchio parioli is a beautiful inconceivable Italian restaurant. from outside it is hard to perceive its authenticity is on a dark road and can easily be missed. but when they go in, they feel like home (I lived in parioli, in rom). for 14.50 you will receive a three-course menu from one of the set menus. the more expensive set menu is 25 pfunds that gives them a larger selection and a glass prosecco! the portions are generous and eating is classic Italian. the service is also very friendly, with all staff is Italian. for me this is a cozy restaurant, perfect if I miss parioli and Italian hospitality. ps the tiramisu was great!

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.
