5/10The pizza was above average with generous amount of topping but the pollo milanese was unusual. The chicken was baked hence not crispy and was served with spaghetti bolognese instead of a tomato based sauce. There wasn't a small portion of salad to go with it. We were the only table on Saturday lunch hence no vibe at all. The waiter did what he needed to do, but without a smile.

We don’t fry the chicken because it would absorb to much oil and it would taste of oil, We always served with spaghetti bologna since we opened 14 years ago. If you want different you should have asked, as you should have ordered the mix salad since it’s not included in the meal you ordered, There wasn’t many customers because of the bad weather, we normally have a good number of customers. It does happen when it is like this, but it was raining and groom. The waiter has done a good job, and he is a kind person and he doesn’t interfere with your meal as in many other restaurants waiters in general trying to sell more. Not everyone has to smile necessarily as long as they treat you with respect as you received respect. That is the most important thing. You have been in our restaurant more than once and always treated well and with respect. Thank you for your kindness.

8/10This is a small and friendly restaurant. The service was good and the food was great. The only problem we had was being seated close to the door in December. A sharp cold blast very often as people came and went meant we left a bit sooner than we intended. We will definitely go back in warmer weather

10/10Excellent food served with a smile. Lovely place to find some authentic Italian cuisine. Busy and bustling, welcoming families, couples and friends alike. When one dish was served not as described in the menu the staff were very apologetic and very quick to make amends. My son, who’d not been here before, and who was treating his mum to a special meal, was very pleased with my choice. I was too. Will definitely be returning.

10/10The menu is quite wide & extensive & covers all the usual pastas, risottos & pizzas, also fish & meat dishes. I had a prawn/crab cocktail to start, which was very fresh tasting. The anchovy, caper, olive & tomato risotto I had was delicious, but I'd had the starter & couldn't finish as the portion sizes are not mean & small. Fortunately the waitress packaging up the leftovers as a takeaway. I had a luvveelly strong lime marguerita cocktail priced at £8 which is still good for London especially at weekends. Soft & hot drinks are sensibly priced. Waitresses are warm, welcoming, polite & attentive. The restaurant seems to attract all types of people from lone diners to families & has a laid back approach. This small & clean restaurant allbeit with some cheesy old hollywood pictures is dog friendly which was the best & most memorable highlight. A water bowl was duly brought out which I love.

10/10Another delicious family meal at Ibleo this week, my husband had the Wild Boar stew which he loved , he always likes to try something from the special board , which truly is unique, he has tried so many things that he has never had before, and it’s one of the reasons we are regulars.

5/10Sadly disappointed with venue and food. Lamb was overcooked and not very tasty. Prawn were good. Will not be going back Thanks for having us
Ibleo Restaurant • Owner
We are not very expensive, if you go in the other restaurants near us they are all 20% more expensive than us. If you didn’t like the lamb, I guess you choose the wrong food, we can’t control personal tastes, we can’t read your mind if you choose food that you don’t like. We have a 100% good reviews in every platform and you can check yourself. We are an independent family run restaurant and we are just coming out of covid where mist business has suffered a lot. Thank you. When you say you will never come back again that means for us that you don’t understand nothing about food. We’ve been making food for 31 years. We are Micheline star chefs. Thank you.

9/10The food here is always excellent. An amazing range of dishes and cooked really well. We had very good service from a cheerful, polite and knowledgeable waitress. The only problem was it was almost empty but hopefully good reviews will bring more customers and it was a Wednesday evening to be fair.

6/10It was quite busy and the waitress forgot our water. The starter was good with the garlic prawns being firm and very nicely prepared so that I could eat them with cutlery, no messy fingers . The main was adequate but as it is a pizza/pasta restaurant it was a reasonable price and they tried hard. Table clothes were paper and looking at the diners this seemed reasonable too although not what I am used to. I would not go back there.
Ibleo Restaurant • Owner
Most restaurants nowadays don’t have linen. Not even michelin star restaurant. If you don’t come anymore it’s your loss. Not ours. We’ve been working hard for 31 years in this road and we know all the locals.
