    The food was excellent from appetizers to pasta , pizza to dessert - I would recommend the slow cooked duck ragu. Staff were helpful and courteous We went on a Friday night so we also had live entertainment which adds to the place's charm. The only thing I believe could have made the experience even better was if the songs played were more familiar

    There is no toilet facilities for restaurant customers. Restaurant customers must use public restrooms with different people who drink beer in the street. Some of them very unsocial ... Punks, freaks... So it is impossible to have evening dress dinner there....

    We went on a free music friday and it was a lovely ambience and setting. They had gluten free pizza and gnocchi which was great and whislt they were decent, they weren't amazing. Would highly recommend for a pre performance meal or just an unusual setting.

    Booked Meal @ Friday's music event for 8pm. Pianist did not show up. No music at all. (Not even background music). Ambience poor as most people seemed to be there for event. We were looking forward to the meal & event as we were only in London for 4 days. Would not really recommend cheese platter as there is hardly enough for one person, never mind to share. Main meal was fine. Staff were pleasant. However, manager did not advise that the pianist was not coming until well after 9pm. Customers seemed to leave quite soon after that. A disappointing evening.

    Booked this restaurant as on the website ( and on the menu) it states Live Jazz on Friday evenings. Thought this would add to the ambience along with being part of the Royal Albert Hall. We arrived for our booking @ 8pm and were shown to the left hand-side of the restaurant which really did not have much character. On enquiring about the Jazz, I was informed that there wasn't any that night! Although very tasty, our food was served incredibly quickly and it was then pointed out that the kitchen closed at 9pm so we'd need to order any desserts. Probably a great place if attending a performance, but not for a relaxing meal.

    We chose to dine at Verdi because it was within the RAH and therefore catered to the pre-theatre crowd. We booked with OpenTable, received email confirmation of our booking, but the restaurant didn't have our 5:45 reservation. They seated us anyway but we were shuttled off to the right where all the patrons were clearly headed onto the RAH with ZERO atmosphere. The left side looked buzzy and preferable. We had allotted plenty of time to dine before the show but our starters arrived within seconds of our order being placed -- clearly pre made -- and our main course arrived instantaneous to when we finished our first course so we felt like we were being rushed. In the end, we had eaten and were out in less than 45 minutes. Never again.
