La Goccia

Our experience at La Goccia, the Italian restaurant, was truly delightful. We savored a delectable variety of dishes, including mussels, fried squid, mushroom risotto, and potato and focaccia. The standout was the good white wine that perfectly complemented our meal. The atmosphere in the restaurant was charming, and the well-thought-out design added to the overall appeal. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing our dining experience. I highly recommend getting everything to share, as it allows you to savor a wide array of flavors. This wasn't our first visit, and we're already looking forward to returning with friends. La Goccia continues to be a favorite choice for a memorable dining experience.

"La Goccia is like the tapas version of an Italian opera, right next to Covent Garden! Each small plate is a delicious aria that makes your taste buds stand up and applaud. The terrace is so pretty, it should have its own Instagram account. If you're in the mood for bite-sized Italy in the heart of London, this is your stage. Encore, please!"

Happy to say the place has improved significantly. The food quality in particular is much higher, and service is great. The whole "tapas style" is annoying because it's really obvious why they're doing it. That said the quality of the food is really good. The gnocchi and fried squid were awesome. Review from many years ago: Nice service staff but pretty amateurish otherwise. Firstly, the food is very plain. Everyone can make a toast and put an egg on it. Service is questionable; food came before drinks (but as I said, it's easy to make) and they didn't bring any milk with tea. That said service staff are attentive and very nice. Chairs are uncomfortable; the back rest is shaped like a leaf, which hurts your spine.

Such a great place to visit on a sunny day for dinner! The gnocchi was amazing- very light - I would definitely recommend it. The fried chicken is also amazing - well flavoured, tender and juicy- a favourite of the table. The service is good but be warned that they operate on a fixed 1.5 hour +15 minutes per person policy.

Amazing Resturant with fantastic food and great service. I’ve seen many people comment negatively on the portion size, however it is clear on the website and explained by servers that it is Italian style tapas type plates, so select a few to share. We followed their recommendation of 3-4 dishes per person and it was perfect! Food was DELICIOUS and incredibly satisfying! Took 2 photos then just forgot to take more as the food was so good! Love the organic/local source concept it really shows in the food!

The restaurant itself was quite alright, but the food is rather expensive for the portions you get. The food itself is really great though. Just be aware that this restaurant has a sharing concept, which is not really clear from the menu. You have to order at least 3 dishes per person to have eaten sufficiently. Also the sound insulation inside is not good. So it is very difficult to understand each other and the servant. So I would consider to sit outside if you can. Especially since the courtyard is very cosy.

I went to La Goccia on Friday with some girlfriends and it was fantastic, the food was stunning (sage and anchovies are so good!!) and the drinks were also fab!! The service is great, everyone is so friendly and was very approachable!!!! We stayed at the bar and it's a good place to have a few drinks and small bites!!!! We really had a great time ❤️
