Verdi - Italian Kitchen at the Royal Albert Hall - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, london)

Jacob N We had a great time at Bocca Lounge. Everything we ordered was excellent, very tasty, crafted to a high level of quality. Friendly service, very polite and accommodating throughout the experience. Definitely recommend the Wagyu Beef Sliders, although they were smaller than expected. The watermelon + mint hookah as well as the cocktails and especially the espresso martini or the Negroni were our favorites. The food and the drinks took some time to arrive, but if youre with good company and enjoying the atmosphere then its not too much trouble. We would come back again. Thank you Mahr!

Alexis P The food came around quick, and tasted amazing, you really get the quality and flavour for what you pay, the waiter who served us was so lovely, friendly and really attentive. Will definitely come round again.

Romir Singh Personally, my experience was great in the other kitchen. I was served by Guru. I can’t explain how courteous he was. He made it a simply sublime experience just from his presence. Friendly, welcoming, with a genuine care for the work he does. Will definitely come back. And look forward to meeting him again

Aari Lemmik The service was outstanding—our server Maruf was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We had Pistachio Chicken Korma, Lamb Madras, Malwa Mango Chicken and Ajwaiji Salmon Tikka. While everything was presented nicely, the flavors felt a bit flat and the dishes didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the stellar service. Flavor is key in Indian cuisine, unfortunately it was missing this time. I’d return for the great hospitality and beautiful interiors, though I really hope the chef rediscovers their joy in cooking so the meals can improve and authentic rich Indian flavours will be re-introduced. Special thanks for the excellent espresso; it was a highlight of the dinner.

Jill Hoppi We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, comfortable, and well organized. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained, making it easy to relax and feel at home. What truly stood out, however, was the breakfast. It was absolutely exceptional — without a doubt one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever experienced. The selection was incredibly varied, with fresh fruits, high-quality pastries, delicious hot dishes, freshly baked bread, and excellent coffee. Everything was beautifully presented and constantly replenished. You could really taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. A very special mention goes to Cecilia, who made our breakfast experience even more memorable. Her service was outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She greeted every guest with a smile, made sure everything was perfect, and created such a pleasant atmosphere in the morning. Her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference and started each day on the best possible note. Thank you for such a fantastic stay. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Hope £1 oysters on Saturday, what more could you ask for. Large oysters, good complementary sauce, lemon, Tabasco. Drinks a little on the spenny, as are chips (£6!!), soda bread, croquettes, all good. Crab linguine good but not a big portion. We came for my birthday and they gave me a little birthday truffle dessert which was cute. Atmosphere is nice. Service friendly.
