Disagree with other reviews
After i read all the other reviews I had a great expectation about Santa Lucia, I was looking for a place where have a dinner pretty often with a good value, unfortunately they haven't been met.
The start was really good we had a delicious scamorza on the grill with bacon and mushroom to share, then i ordered Gnocchi Santa Lucia and my partner Pasta allo Scoglio.
After more than 45 minutes we received them but my Gnocchi was with 4 Formaggi sauce instead Santa Lucia, I told them and very kindly after 10 min i had the right course.
My gnocchi was ok, nothing special but ok, my partner's pasta was really too raw.
We drank 3 glasses of Red wine and a bottle of sparkling water, no coffee, no desert. We paid 63£.
I'm pretty sure I've been not so lucky and they had a bad evening but....

PS
I tag it as expensive, not in the way of classy/posh restaurant but as far as we ate and how much we paid.

Fine, but not impressive
The place is great, a modern setting even if the table was a little poorly dressed.

Gaucho is famous for its Argentinean meat, it has been presented and explained by the manager in a very good way. It was nice and of one of the best I've ever eaten in London, however I expected something simply awesome.
Not as expensive as expected. Good value for money.
The service in the entrance area and at cloakroom was nicer than what we hat at the table.

I'll come back probably just for the steak but i do not consider this place as an amazing experience.
