Vespa Italian Restaurant

Came in with no reservation for a table of 7 - the staff were incredible - my daughter (8) who was getting tired from a long day was being fussy and the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate her food requests - not something you would get from a food chain. The food was phenomenal , priced really well and the decor was fab and quirky. Would definitely go again

This was my first time at the restaurant. The food itself is acceptable but by no means remarkable as Italian restaurants go. Despite the distinctly average food, the venue is cute and the staff are absolutely lovely! Alfie was our waiter and went out of his way to converse with us, remembered our names and was found common ground to connect. He was really lovely as were all the staff. The lovely vibe offset the food quality to make it an overall pleasant visit.

So we came tonight at 1930 for a anniversary meal, we arrived at 1920 and were seated straight away with a choice of indoors or outdoors, we chose outdoors as it was a lovely evening. A server immediately offered us water and a drinks menu and it was ice cold and clean glasses all round. We ordered food and drinks almost immediately as we had prechecked the menu. The drinks we ordered was delivered really quickly certainly within five minutes and we're to the standard expected. The starters were served within 10 minutes and they were delicious! We had bruschetta and garlic bread and it was fresh hot and delicious, it had a real Mediterranean feel and tasted like it had been prepared immediately for serving. The mains we ordered were spaghetti carbonara and tagliatelle Bolognese and they were exquisite. Fresh pasta used in both, sauces were the finest examples I could find this side of the Chanel and the flavours were balanced wonderfully. The servers were very attentive and it felt like a really personal experience, the only thing I could add which would give it 5 stars all round would be some music but arguably the overall atmosphere of Leicester Square provides a great back drop. I fully recommend a visit if you want a authentic Italian experience in London.

We dine in here last wednesday. We were meant to go to other italian restaurant however this young lady from vespa proactively approached us in a friendly manner. She didnt force us or anything. She just offered assistance and guess what. We ended up here for our dinner. Food is so tasty and authentic. It looks few on pictures specially the pasta but i'm telling you its a lot. (For me). Aside from the food. The service and ambience is really great. Family friendly should i say. Thank you vespa!
