Harden's survey result
Summary
“Skip the Pret sandwich and enjoy fresh pasta” – “a three-course lunch in well under an hour and for only £19.50, right in the heart of Piccadilly” – say fans of this smart but low-cost outfit (with a second branch in Covent Garden). But for somewhere that’s the brainchild of a star-chef such as Phil Howard, the feedback and ratings they inspire is mixed, with sceptics saying “it’s OK for pre-show or a quickie meal, I guess, but the thought did enter my head that I could do better at home”.
Summary
“Really good pasta in the unexpected location of tourist-central Piccadilly” – and at “pretty good value for this quality” – has won numerous fans for this post-lockdown venture, which now has a second branch in equally touristy Covent Garden. Given the well PR’d involvement of Phil Howard, the kitchen genius behind The Square (long RIP) and Elystan Street, it’s perhaps short on magic, but nearly all reports rate it as a good “cheap ’n’ cheerful” all-rounder.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
