    So glad we found this restaurant! Visiting from the US, it was very close to our hotel. We selected it bc of some great previous Open Table reviews. Rigatoni with sausage and meatballs was fabulous, outdone only by the tiramisu. Support this restaurant!

    Very impressed that this Italian restaurant on Great Portland Street keeps being consistently good. My personal favourite is the rigatoni with Tuscan sausage and meatballs....❤👌 Service always good and attentive, without being over-bearing.

    I have been to Demartino twice in 4 days! I went on my own during a business trip and brought more people the second time, including an Italian friend who said they'd never tried stuffed gnocchi and that it was authentic and delicious! The seafood linguine was divinely packed with seafood. Excellent all round and well worth the price, which is moderate.

    Myself and four colleagues had lunch here. Used to be regulars many years ago when we worked nearby but hadn’t been for a long, long time . It didn’t disappoint. Very friendly staff with just the right amount of attention so we didn’t feel pushed but never had to wait long . Food was classical Italian nicely presented. Decent wine list . Busy but not too noisy .

    A loveIy restaurant, delicious food and wine and lovely staff and service. Just a shame that they didn’t notice that I had noted in the booking that it was mine and my husband’s wedding anniversary yesterday when we visited. Sometimes it’s nice to be made a fuss of. Maybe it would have been better if I’d have booked DIRECTLY with the restaurant I think as, sadly, message from Open Table that I put in booking went unnoticed.

    Excellent and very friendly service in an authentic Italian restaurant. The Main course of wild mushroom risotto was disappointing as the portion size was too large and it didn’t look very appealing as it was the same colour as the plate it was served on and the taste and texture wasn’t very nice. My sister had the ravioli and the sage ingredient was overpowering. Delicious crème brûlée but too big. Prosecco and wine also nice.

    We have been coming here for over 20 years. It is always excellent - great food, decent wine list, fizzy atmosphere. The escalope milanese cannot be bettered, the fried zuchini is a winner. Friendly staff with attentive service. Another excellent meal.

    The service was excellent, and personnel were lovely and pleasant. The food was OK. The fish and see food seemed fresh, but everything else was not very interesting or even dull. It was rather loud when the place is full, we managed to have a conversation, but we had to speak up.

    We went to Demartino as a group of 5 on Wednesday evening for after-work meal. We had garlic bread and bruschetta with burrata for starters and they were delicious. Then we went for stakes and they were amazing! All staff was very friendly, professional and great fun. We can't wait to visit Demartino again.
