Vecchio Parioli

A fantastic little Italian restaurant. Service, atmosphere and food outstanding. We shall defiantly be going there again. It’s so popular you must book in advance, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I used to go in here for lunch sometimes, more than 10 years ago. This time we were going to a concert at the Barbican and my first thought was to book us into one of the restaurants there. But they had no space and I’m SO GLAD because it forced me to remember Vecchio Parioli and we had the most lovely time in there. Among the four of us we had cod, pasta and veal. All reported as delicious! Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere is very perfectly family-restaurant. It’s unashamedly old-school, calm, and pleasant. We also had a lovely bottle of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo which went down very well. We made it to our concert ok but on a future occasion I will allow more time so I can enjoy this great restaurant thoroughly.

Just lovely. Delicious food, really nice staff, great ambience. We came here before a concert because we couldn’t get a booking inside the Barbican but this was so much nicer – it’s my default from now on. What a delight.

Very disappointing in every way, the food the ambience this is a very tired old Resturant. The food was extremely below Par tasteless without any salt how can you describe Italian food as tasteless. They have succeeded in doing that. I feel very cheated that I wasted a meal and time at this restaurant.

What a gem of a find this place is. Did some research and booked it for dinner with close friend and am so pleased. It is a small family run restaurant that has authentic italian feel to it. So quaint and peaceful, the food was exceptional. The prices are amazingly reasonable and the quality/quantity don’t justify the prices either. I had the grilled vegetables and cheese platter and my friend had king prawns which she said was soul warming. I then had a pasta from the set menu as a la carte which the restaurant happily obliged to, and she had the salmon. We had the home made tiramisu which was the best Ive had too. 100% recommended if you want authentic italian tastes with fair prices.
