Va Pensiero - Carta

We had a family meal there on a Saturday lunch time. There were a lot of us, so we pre-ordered the food. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks.

Lovely restaurant. Nice decor. Had Baked Dough balls and Pizza Garlic bread pesto for starters. Ordered Penne Alla Siciliana and Vegetarian Pizza for mains. Had Mint Bombe for dessert. Food and service were lovely. Will definitely visit again.

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere with dim lighting, creating a warm, cozy, and romantic feel. The portion sizes are generous. I would highly recommend trying the garlic bread with mozzarella and parmesan, as well as the mixed meat dish. For dessert, don't miss the banoffee pie and mint chocolate bombe. Ver carta

We had a lovely time at Va Pensiero. Really enjoyed the food, the portions were very generous and most of the items were very tasty. Great service and we were able to find parking close by. Standout items were definitely the garlic tomato pesto bread, melanzane parmigiana and penne siciliana. Cannelloni was also nice. Would happily come back and try other items on the menu.

After a few years, we decided to revisit this restaurant and we were not let down. The food was just as delicious as we remembered, with a diverse menu and efficient service. The staff were all friendly, and despite being very busy, the service was quick. The atmosphere was lovely and we would definitely come back and recommend it to others. The mozzarella in Carroza was the best I've ever had. Thank you.

I haven't been to this restaurant for several years. The food was usually fine, but the restaurant was so noisy that it was impossible to hold a conversation. Went for an early dinner at 6:30pm fortunately the place wasn't too busy I think they have taken some measures to reduce the noise problem. Both the food and the service were very good, pricing was reasonable I will certainly start using this place more regularly, probably in preference to Storia, which seems to have gone downhill recently.

A friend recommended to come here a few years ago but I had never got round to it. Well we came here a couple weeks ago to finally try it out.. and well it seems to have gone really downhill. The staff couldn't seem more unbothered if they tried not friendly at all. I asked about gluten free options and she had no idea?! In this day and age allergens should be written on the menu. The food is really bland, does not feel like authentic Italian food. If you want proper Italian stick to Oscars Pizza Co. in Kings Langley. Will not return Va Pensiero.

I have been going to this restaurant on a regular basis for several years. On my last visit my friend and I ordered calves liver, when it arrived and we started to eat it, we realised that not only did it look like lambs liver but tasted of it too. There is a distinct difference between both. (Not just in taste and texture but in price as well) A total misinterpretation on the menu. We called the waiter over who shouted at us and laughed in our faces. The manager did not do anything to put it right, we would have had more respect for them if they had admitted it, instead they were rude and arrogant. Will never go to this restaurant again.

We have been regular customers at Va Pensiro but never AGAIN. The place is not vegetarian friendly. We ordered some chips with our main course, and found out that later that the chips are cooked in oil that is used for other meat dishes. When we told the manager about this issue, he did not think it was an issue at all and it was our fault for not asking. What is so disturbing is the attitude of the manager and not thinking about how he can address the issue but just to blame us. Terrible night and if restaurants cannot stop the cross contamination between meat and veg dishes then they should clearly state that on the menu. Will never visit this place again. Ver carta
