La vita e bella 19th November 2008

I first discovered this restaurant about 10 years ago in its first incarnation as "Bella Napoli" - and what a true find it was! Thanks Miranda! It was the most traditional restaurant in Soho, as far as I could see, and it made a welcome difference to all the other places trying to be cool and trendy and not focusing on the main event - the food!!

It was such a gem that of course it's popularity grew and fans kept coming back for some wonderful food along with the personal touch that the owner Mimmo gives to each and every customer that walks through his door.

A facelift came but still his fans poured through the door each and every night. Food is wonderful and portions are big - just the way I like my Italian food! It's true comfort food at it's best - i love the Vitello Milanese - mouth-watering and just so tender and succulent - not chewy and bland as you can find many times with this dish.

Pizzas are great and if you are in a big party it makes sense to get it by the meter and share - such a great way of making food fun as well as delicious! And the atmosphere and service is first class. It's a great location too on Dean Street.

So why not mosey on down to Dean Street and say Ciao to Spacca Napoli....

This was one of the first restaurants I went to after coming to London. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed and you are never rushed during your meal. The waitress was able to offer suggestions and recommendations from both the food and wine menus and her suggestions were really good!

The food is authentically Italian and tastes amazing. I had lasagne and I can still say it's the best.

I visited again with friends who have a young child and he was made welcome, even taken to see pizza being made which he loved!

All this for incredibly reasonable prices!

The best Italian in London! 22nd August 2008

Spaccanapoli is on of the best Italian’s in London and I will often make a trip to London just to eat there!
The food is amazing and tastes authentic and yummy. Try the mussels and bruchetta for starters-it’s great! The pizzas are fantastic and their bread is delicious.
The staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. The restaurant can get very busy at the weekends so make sure you book a table!
The prices are reasonable for such good food and they are fine with you sharing starters and main courses.
If you’re in London this is definitely worth a visit! Bon appétit!

Food was lovely but the owner is a rather disturbing individual. A young italian man, about 5'3" with dark hair. He did nothing but glare at my girlfriend all evening and was practically drooling on her when taking her order showing blatent disrespect for me and the other customers. Won't be going there again for that reason, shame because as I say the food and the rest of the staff are fine.
