    Really great restaurant with a buzzy atmosphere and very tasty food. You order lots of different plates, like tapas, and thus enjoy a miscellany of flavours . My guests and I loved it and not a scrap of grub was left over. A reasonable price for a Covent Garden location.

    Kids loved this for a pre theater dinner as it was fast and had good (but not great) food.

    With this our first visit we were impressed with the restaurant. Waiters were attentive and choices were enough to suit everyone. A very vibrant and popular choice. Well located close to the square in Covent Garden. We will return.

    Great meal in a great atmosphere; when booking, we had not realised it was a tapas style Italian where you need to order a number of small/medium sized plates, but actually it is the best way to experience the variety of great food they offer. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and the the service was just excellent.

    Good easy place to eat in Covent Garden. Service as expected with timing as busy was slightly slow. They were all very friendly and helpful. Food was nice.

    First time dining at Cicchetti. It’s got a wonderful decor and ambience. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Menu had a great variety in selection and the food was delicious. It’s in a great location to the surrounding theatres in the area. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for a great pre theatre dining experience.

    We so used to love this restaurant. Ate at all its London branches. But last visit was so disappointing. Maybe because it was pre theatre. It was very busy and crowded. The service was flaky and a bit stressy. But what bothered us was that the food was cold and simply didn’t have the delicious taste we were used to at Cicchetti. Carbonara was tasteless. Like a cheap tasteless cheese is being used instead of what they used before. Very disappointed and disappointing.

    Gorgeous restaurant just off Covent Garden This restaurant does tapas style Italian dishes, all of which are very tasty. The waiters are all very charming and attentive. Would definitely recommend this place to eat.
