    Food was great, really buzzing little restaurant, but our reservation on Fork wasn’t there, and they were unable to take card payment. We were told as we sat down, but a lot of other folks found out as they got their bill and were not happy.

    The waiter went out of their way to offer someone something not on the menu when’s they couldn’t find something they liked which had been in a previous menu……exceptional service

    I felt the food really lacked flavour and a real waste of over £100! A shame

    For a restaurant just off Leicester Square I was pleasantly suprised how good this small Italian restaurant was. The staff were really friendly and attentive. It felt very lively but the music wasn't so loud you couldnt hear each other . The menu was not extensive which is always a good sign, the food simple and tasty and reasonably priced. Great for pre-threatre, I would definitely book again. Thank you.

    Lovely and genuine Italian welcome. Service was impeccable, we had our first course outside and when the weather started to turn we were very kindly moved inside by our lovely wait staff. The food was to die for, fresh pasta cooked perfectly and a delicious risotto, highly recommend the tiramisu also. Upon finishing our meal the heavens opened and it started to lash rain, the staff went above and beyond attempting to source an umbrella for us!

    We had a quick meal here before the theatre, and was very impressed with the service, the menu, and the drinks. The limoncello spritz was fantastic, not too sweet, tart, and refreshing. The pasta was delicious, and the waitstaff were kind and friendly. Wish I lived in London so I could go back often! I highly recommend it.

    Went to Vespas this evening after reading the good reviews however was disappointed. First they forget our order so was left waiting for an hour after our starter. When mains did come they not very good however the prawn pasta was very nice. Our waiter was also very nice along with the manager.

    A pleasant restaurant where to be fair the food was very good especially the ravioli with spinach and ricotta. The seating we had though was awful a bench which I struggled to fit into. Unable to be moved due to a large booking ariving though we had left before they arrived. I would not go again purely for the cramped seating and layout. Less busy day if I was passing then maybe.

    I just saw this little family restaurant as I was walking by and then I found of the Fork. I had great salad to start and amazing carbonara pasta full of cheese. Very nice polite staff and good quality food for price. I will be coming back X
