    The place was not that we expected, and the menu had no resemblence of the sample menu we saw online. We left before eating.

    We received a friendly greeting and taken to a good table with cpmplementary olives which was a very good start. The ambiest was traditional Italian and it soon filled up which caused the waiters to become very busy if not attentive. The food was enjoyable and we were served in good time and would definately recommend for a pre-theatre lunch.

    We booked for 6.00 to go to see Mama Mia at 7.30pm. We skipped starters just in case we ran out of time but main courses were superb. I had swordfish and my wife lamb Shank. The Tiramisu was to die for and excellent Chianti. Coffee to follow and we were finished by 7. Lovely atmosphere, great staff. Overall superb and highly recommended.

    We had dinner on a Saturday night. The place was full and our table next to the CD player. As a result, the noise level was high. Food was simple but good, service was prompt but some comments by the waiters were inappropriate, if not rude,

    Biagio is a cosy Italian tucked away in Rupert St - very nice for a pre theatre meal. The service is good but quite pushy - as if they want to get you in and out a bit too quick. The waiters tend to pounce on you - constantly. The food was average.

    Biagio Ristorante Pizzeria is certainly a wonderful slice of Italy within the heart of the West End. Easily locatable and excellent service make you feel you are part of the family. Slightly disappointed on the haphazard and slightly unprofessional menu however it's range is truely huge and caters for Vegetarians excellently. The portion sizes are fantastic and truely leave you stuffed. If you are on a budget and want to try a taste of Italy certainly visit Biagio's.

    Our evening at the Biagio was memorable, it was my son's 18th birthday and our party of 7 all had fantastic food and service, including an impromptu cake and candle supplied by the Management when they found out about the birthday - it was not pre-planned. Food was mainly Italian but something for everyone including some unusual dishes (frog's legs). All in all a real pleasure to dine there.
