Attilio's - Carta

My little posse has a soft spot for little family-owned Italian joints, and this warmed our heart.

Customer Service NOT. Just tried booking Christmas lunch for my company of 50 people. Had phone put down on me and when I called again, was laughed at for trying to book too early!!! Its now September try in December! . The man I dealt with was rude, unhelpful and sarcastic. So much for the other reviews of friendly atmosphere Eat there at your peril!! On dear just lost a potential £2,000 booking!!

Italian jewel in farringdon. the atmosphere in attilio is very refreshing it has a pronounced local character to it; with the peculiarities, the impeccable and friendly service, as we were included with open poor (literal) in the restaurant, even if it is extremely busy and served free champagne. the dishes themselves were also very rustic and homestyled- I had a spaghetti blog with Proscuitto-Mlon as an appetizer that was finished with free dessert wing and amaretto biscuits.

avoid them. I don't want to make bad reviews. it feels quite mental and I don't want to stop anyone living in these times of economic difficulties. but I was so deceived after I visited this place that I felt that I should warn others so that they would not fall into the same. I can reluctantly accept sub-standard food when I'm in a bit hurry and it's too cold to look for food from a really decent place. as it was in the devastating night the case was, which is really bureaucratic, if this is coupled with appalling, respectful and unlawful service." Therefore I write that and will not regret it, as mentioned...more

Here's soouo sweet. there is the impression of an old school Italian trattoria with jolly service, upbeat skills and good portions eating. not the whole team are French with some Portuguese throw (the owners), but the dishes are very typical of traditional Italian pastas and pizza with some interesting secondi. with all the artisanal pizza placed and tapas bar style Italian cookers open, it is good to just keep them a good plate without nonsense pasta. without a calf, quail or any other cool ingredient that makes the round. it becomes hectic when it is busy and the evening is filled with a familiar amount they get here. mittagessen has a super-set deal menu, but...read more

a local favorite. I understand some of the reviews I've seen here. I have no idea why someone would choose this small, independent restaurant for their office party of 50 people - I'm pretty sure they can fit nothing like this number here. this is one of the few remaining traditional, independent companies in the region, and it offers a much more intimate experience than to find on the meadows of lobster burger or polpo. I do not say that it is not a bit cramped on a busy night, but this is part of its charm. And there are also sitting places outdoors when they are so inclined my eating was simple, unpretentious and excellent: my lingine con frutti di mare was packed...read more Ver carta

This is a small Italian restaurant on Cowcross Street, a minute's walk from Farringdon station. It's always pretty busy at lunch time when local office workers go for a quick pasta dish. I must admit that it does not offer the best Italian food in London but the place is charming enough (one wall is covered in a painting by the owner), the tables are small and packed in tight but it allows for conversation between neighbours and the staff are lovely. If you're lucky enough, you'll get a free glass of rose bubbly to entice you in on Thursday and Friday evenings Attilio's offers a cheap-ish sit down meal (over 30 pounds for two with main and dessert and wine) that's a good stop over at...read...
