After waiting in a queue to get in (despite having a booking) we were able to sit at a table of our choice. They were out of the wine we wanted so we ordered a more expensive one. We ordered a veg and a non veg dish and a veg salad. The food was all good. We used the 30% discount offer so the bill was okay. At full price it may have felt a little expensive.

The place was quiet but as it was a girls catch up this was perfect. Food was lovely and staff was attentive as it wasn’t busy. One of my friend was gluten free so they accommodate very well. Happy to come back again.

This must be one of the worst Italian restaurants we been and we eat out every weekend. There is no separate wine menu. There are only three bottles of red or white wines to choose and then one of the red wine is not available. Our main courses of prawn linguine and seafood paste were over cooked and both sauces are just the same. Our starters were just as bad. The waiter/waiteress did not even come to ask if we want desserts. At another table diners brought their own carton of orange juices. Certain areas of the restaurant was not well lit so it was difficult to read the menu. There were ceiling lights but they were not switched on. There were no table lamps. There were wall lightings, so unless you sit at one of the tables by the wall lights you are likely to struggle to read the menu or see what you are eating especially for the older folks

Food was very low quality but maybe because I chose wrong items. Place is nice.

We had a lovely meal at Cucina before the theatre and it was great.Theres no kids menu but plenty of options on the main menu so with the fork discount we let our son choose. we did make a boo boo ordering the starter Mac and cheese which was as big as the main lasagne but he loved them both. Decor was fun too. We would never have known this restaurant existed without seeing it on fork, it's on the mezzanine inside a hotel.

Very surprised to discover this Italian restaurant tucked away in a hotel down a side street off Tottenham Court Road. Will definitely go back. Very close to the dominion theatre.

Great service from the manager. He was really friendly, food arrived in good time, and he was happy to accommodate us being in a bit of a rush with a show to get to.

Firstly they clearly differentiate the customers coming from theFork, the behaviour, the service, everything was different for us. Food was awful as well, I ordered ravioli, and my husband ordered pizza. Pizza was ok, but ravioli was terrible, uncooked! and when I request them to redo it - they were like it is fine, no apology or any thing, but the behaviour was like this is how it is eat or leave, finally they took it to the kitchen and bring it back after 20 mins and still the same stage - it was an awful experience for us

We were sat quickly but the host couldn't find our reservation- she kept repeating a different guest name every time I was confirming my name (about 3 x). Food came quickly but was very bland, the tomato sauce on the spaghetti was incredibly bland & flavourless & my partner's ravioli was beyond bland too. Maybe time for another Chef if they've given up?..
