About this restaurant

Great for fine wines
Charming
Lively

A small corner of Italy in the heart of Covent Garden.

The Wine Place offers an authentic Italian experience focusing on an unmatched range of Italian wines that can be purchased or tasted by the glass.

The wines, spanning all 20 Italian regions, can be enjoyed alongside meticulously sourced Italian cold cuts, cheeses, salad, hot snacks or main courses and our special "Pinza"(traditional pizza from Rome) with gorgeous toppings .

The menu is simple focussed on high quality ingredients. Best coffee and teas are also served throughout the day.

We are open Monday to Friday 17pm- 10pm, Saturday from 11am - 10pm and on Sunday from 10am - 6pm.

We are really looking forward to welcoming you back!

Salute!

Our fourth visit to the Wine Place as we love to visit every time we come to London. In a great spot in the plaza to watch live performers (unfortunately we were too late this time so noted for the future!). Super friendly service and they are always very kind to my son, who also loves the food here. We booked an outside table beforehand. Good choices on the menu - we enjoyed the Parmesan lollipops and bruschetta to start followed by the baked Camembert and a hot pepperoni pizza. Everything was delicious. Prices are very fair, considering the location. We will return! Thank you

Great experience! Very friendly, helpful staff. Brilliant wines, great choice, top-notch food but be prepared for relatively high prices. Interesting environment, a bit cramped, not especially comfortable, lively. Would definitely recommend highly. Would certainly visit again.

The food is excellent! The service on our visit was also great! We talked to a young guy with a beard and he was excellent as well. The only thing might be that other members of the staff could work on their behavior. But it is a minor issue.

Booking was not honoured by the restaurant. We had to find another restaurant on a very busy Saturday night.

I think that this is a lovely place and I have always enjoyed going there. The food is delicious simple Italian cuisine and the service is prompt so ideal if going to the Opera or theatre. My only criticism is that the wine is rather expensive and it would be good to have the option of a 175 ml glass of red at about 8£

We simply loved our trip. What made it extra special for us, was allowing us as a family sit together and accommodate us earlier than our original seating time. Staff were brilliant and attentive, and quick to follow up on any concerns. The wine was lovely as well.
