Valeria Went there for dinner, had lovely food and the service was great. I had vegan bibimbap with tofu, the scallion pancake, we shared some japchae and drinks. All came to about 40£ per person. Would go again

Alessandra Scotti We had a wonderful experience at Vasinikò. Despite it being a busy Saturday evening and us arriving without a booking, they still managed to find us a table straight away. I mentioned that I was feeling a bit cold, and they immediately adjusted the air-conditioning so it wouldn’t blow directly on me — such thoughtful service. I ordered a gluten‑free Margherita and it was absolutely outstanding. The tomato sauce was excellent quality: sweet, rich, and full of flavour. The pizza base was honestly the best gluten‑free one I’ve ever had — soft, elastic, light, and not heavy at all. You could really taste the quality of the extra virgin olive oil, and the fresh basil on top made it perfect. The service throughout the evening was courteous, quick, and genuinely caring. Our waiter checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely recommend Vasinikò, especially if you need or prefer gluten‑free options.

Christopher Villegas If you enjoy eclectic, odd, unconventional places in London, this checks all the boxes. Starting from the street, you can already tell this place is going to be special. When you open the door, your first reaction should be WOW! It reminds me of being on stage and backstage all at once. If there is room in one of the box seat tables, ask for them as you get a fantastic vantage point of the entire restaurant. The food is delicious and does follow the Mediterranean inspired menu. Some of the items are large enough to enjoy on their own without having to do the preset course. The bathrooms have explicit and sexual visuals so if you’re bringing kids, be ready to do some explaining. There are usually live performances daily and typically in the evening hours. Plan accordingly. They also cater to large parties so depending on time/date, they might be completely booked. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful when it came to ordering items off the drink and food menu. There is a tribute area to Richard, who seemed to be the spirit of the restaurant. If you have some time, be sure to look at the tribute area near the entrance.

J GONCALVES My first time visiting itsu and I was not disappointed. The service was ok and the food is not that expensive but I did not feel full after eating, it felt more like a snack than actually a meal (portions can be small) personal opinion. Only 2 toilets, one was closed and the other really smelled. I’m gonna give it another try in the future, the menu has a variety of different options that I’m interested in.

Xanthe This is hands down my favourite restaurant in London. I have dined here over the years alongside their sister restaurants and it’s just the best. The food is always incredible and the staff are amazing. I always feel welcomed in this establishment. They are attentive and great to see the kitchen in action as you dine. I have never had a bad experience here and honestly I don’t think I ever will. 10/10!

Seiriol Dawes-Hughes High quality food served by charming staff in a classy setting. Great location for a pre-theatre meal. The schnitzel was great and the shared souffle was well worth the wait and made for a fun end to the meal. It was quite pricey but this is central London after all and it felt like a great. It got rather noisy towards the end of our meal as the place filled up to capacity. But would definitely return for a pre-theatre meal in the West End
