Rossopomodoro

Pasta was horrible. I am sure the pizza was good, as I looked enviously at the plates of all the other diners. Never order a pasta there, it won't be what you expect. The red sauce tasted like Chef Boyardee (if you are from the states you will know what this is, basically pasta and sauce in a can) and the other pasta dish tasted like the noodles were simply doused in cream cheese.

We booked a table at Rossopomodoro in Covent Garden upon recommendation from a colleague. The restaurant was really busy (and quite noisy) but this didn't bother us too much as we were looking forward to the food! Whilst seated, the couple next to us returned their chicken/beef salads saying that there was little flavour to the dish, and that they could do better themselves. This put me off getting the salad. In the meantime, the table on the other side of us was returning a pizza to the kitchen. We ordered a olives followed by pizza and a pasta dish. Unfortunately we found that the food wan't that great. The olives seemed to have come straight from the jar, and were undressed. The thin crust pizza was sloppy (not crusty) and didn't have the choice of topping requested, and the pasta dish was bland, which led me conclude that it was not a very skilled kitchen, hence the reason I have come to write this, and the poor rating. Rossopomodoro need to up their game!!

Came to this place last saturday evening for the first time as i just moved to the area. I must say I have never been happier with a restaurant experience. The service was super friendly and attentive, the atmosphere buzzing and the food was delicious! My girlfriend and i shared the buffalo mozzarella starter and then shared a pizza! Never had pizza that good! Found my all time favourite place!

Went here last Saturday with some friends who were visiting. Haven't been before but always looked quite lively and buzzing when walked past. From the minute we walked through the door it was an amazing atmosphere. They'd gone to town with the Halloween decorations, carved pumpkins everywhere, all the staff were dressed up, the (male) manager was even serving in 3 inch heels! All the staff seemed to really be enjoying themselves,and I think that speaks volumes as so often I have been to restaurants with really surly staff. Anyway, there was quite a bit of a wait for the food, but the place was really busy and we didn't mind too much, although if we'd had theatre tickets or somewhere to go, we might have brought it up, but as it was we were quite content with our drinks and soaking up the atmosphere. We didn't order any starters just went for pizzas (3 and one Calzone) I can't remember what mine was called, it began with a V but it was amazing, the cheese was so gooey, the dough perfect and it had truffle oil on it which I love. Everyone else loved their pizzas, and my friends Calzone was absolutely enormous. I really loved being able to see pizzas go into the oven too. Will definitely be going back!

Service is good - althou the meal isn't a traditional Italian meal, seams to cater for Americans... With it being deep fried in some cases. Only come here if you miss the food in the states. Very commercial, doesn't have that home cooked effect to it.

Had loads of good meals at this place. I've always found it to be great value for money and simply don't think there's a better pizza in town. Salad has also got much better recently too

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very good service - the best pizza restaurant in London!!!

It is the first time I manage to find a real authentic Italian restaurant in London, finally! The pizza was excellent, it was as good (if not even better) than those I usually eat in Italy. The service was perfect and the whole atmosphere very enjoyable. I had very pleasant evening. I would recommend it to all Italians who want to feel back home and to all those who want to try high quality Italian food for a very reasonable price!

Delicious food, super friendly staff, great enviroment. We had hot and cold starters which consisted of meat and fish, mains were salads and pasta dishes. Everything was presented very well and all the food was seasoned perfectly. The enviroment at the restaurant was lively and the team are very friendly and were always on hand. 10/10

Fantastic service, nice, laid-back atmosphere and a brilliant new menu. The asparagotta pizza and grilled vegetable salad were both delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed myself last night and will have no hesitations recommending the place.
