About

Il Cucciolo could win an award for cuteness with its two arched fairy light-filled windows either side of a small arched door just up the street from Technicolor Piccadilly Circus. Inside is as cosy as you’d expect; neatly dressed tables subtly illuminated by faux candle wall lamps. Patient, polite staff expertly serves a modest range of traditional Italian pasta, meat, vegetarian, rice and fish dishes. Carefully-prepared specials change daily alongside a very good value set menu!

Great restaurant

Return visit and once again can't be faulted : great food ( choice & quality ). Food is fresh and always hot and simply presented. Ciabatta for example is extremely fresh. Great choice of drinks and great ambiance, even at 12.30 lunchtime.

Plentiful plates, packed tables, but lacks something

We visited for a pre-theatre dinner on a very busy early evening service and place was packed out - disappointed patrons were being turned away without a reservation.  It is a very small restaurant and tables are very close together - do not go here if you are still social distancing!  The food is plentiful, if anything too plentiful as I really could not finish my starter for fear of not being able to manage any of the main course pasta.  Quality of the food is ok, but nothing to set the world on fire. Service was a bit lacklustre and distant, which was a shame but may have been due to how busy it was.  But for value for money in what is usually an expensive part of town, it is hard to beat.  We'd certainly use again for a quick bite to eat but it is not a place to really linger and savour.

Super find right near the theatres

This was a perfect family run restaurant right in the heart of theatre land.  I would advise you to book a table if you want to eat between 6pm and 7pm as the restaurant was fully booked.

Good food selection. Portions were good, hot and very tasty. Only waited about 10 mins max.

Very reasonably priced for London.

Super convenient.
