We came here yesterday for a hen do and were not disappointed. The venue, atmosphere, food and drinks were excellent and it was a lovely afternoon lunch.
The food specifically was literally outstanding. I had the beef tartare, pumpkin risotto and finished of with tiramisu and oh my gosh, it was unreal. The drinks were lovely also - we tried some of their champagne and a couple cocktails and they were wonderful, particularly the Old Fashioned.
The service was good too as was the atmosphere. The inside of the hotel was amazing and so full of character, plus the live music in the centre was incredible.
I would definitely recommend a visit! :)
We were served today by Emilia.J. The service was amazing. Our table was continuously cleared and set with fresh cutlery. The food was fresh and the options were really great. We were two adults and two children. Our children loved the selections and enjoyed the fine dining! We will definitely be coming back.I would definitely suggest going for the brunch.
The atmosphere of this place is amazing. The building which the restaurant is in is beautiful and when we came here for a late dinner there was live music which made the vibe of the place even better. The food was really good, especially the pizza tasted amazing. When you have a simple pizza with anchovies and you still cannot forget about it - then you know it was good. The place also does amazing cocktails and in the late hours it definitely have the nice bar vibes.
Amazing place for a special occasion, live music, stylish interior with indoor seating. Delicious pizza and pasta with lobster, friendly service and great wine list
Nice experience, nice location, great service, nice atmosphere. I tried the Sunday Fest all in all it didn't go badly you can eat without limits, honestly for what I spent I would have gotten a better quality result by ordering à la carte, but rightly you can't have everything in life. Experience to do.
Came here for breakfast and got the prosciutto, eggs, and burrata dish which was topped with some freshly sliced truffle. It was very good and very filling! The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked.
It was not crowded but busy in the morning. The ambience and service were great. Would recommend this spot!
Wonderful dining experience on our wedding anniversary. An experience to saviour. Special mention for Adam who took care of us and the the food was delightful.
Started of with a not so good and overpriced starter of calamari; I’ve had way better calamari for less. Also the attitude of one of the male servers was a bit passive aggressive. Despite that, the main and dessert made up for it, and the other female servers were lovely and patient. I loved the live music and the vibe and atmosphere of the whole place in general.
The most incredible Full English breakfast today – eggs, sausage, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The service and atmosphere were absolutely top-notch. Highly recommend giving it a try! 🍳
Fresh and really delicious food, lots of options, good service.
We went twice for the fest at Cecconi on Sunday. We find it quite tricky to book for table there as the demand is quite high. They charged £90 per pax and it is a buffet setting and comes with a glass of beverage of your preference(Prosecco, champagne, beer)
Ambience: I would say the seating area it is clean and nice, live jazz music while you dine, could be abit of noise if you sit nearer to the band.
Service: Might need some improvement on the service, we see the waiter walking here and there but they just wouldn’t clean our plates after we finish for rounds. Could be more attentive given the price you charged us is service inclusive.
Food: Good selection given that this is in London😂 I mean I wouldn’t have sky high expectation for buffet in London, but I’m quite happy with the selection at Cecconi. The selling point is they offer unlimited lobsters, fresh oyster, prawns and smoked salmon. Taste of the seafood is fresh at least, it’s a eat-all-you-can so I wouldn’t fault it the way it cooks, I am happy as long as it is fresh. The rest is just mediocre dish such as variety of salads, lasagne, hot pastas, pizzas and nice selection of dessert as well.
I really do enjoy the pana cotta, tiramisu and profiteroles! Bummer is they don’t offer a free coffee/tea to compliment with your dessert…you have to pay for extra if you want to have a hot drink later.
Overall was quite a pleasant meal at Cecconi the Ned! I would recommend my friends and would revisit again(not in next few month as I had way too much lobsters since my last visit😂)
We are back home in Sydney now – the end of our 2 month holiday in Europe – but before we left London last Tuesday, we celebrated with a late lunch at one of our London faves Cecconi’s, in the beautiful Ned Hotel. If you haven’t been I highly recommend it as one of the most beautiful establishments around - from start to finish, around every corner, there is yet more to adore. Restaurants, cafes, bars… I will write a separate review about The Ned.
We’ve eaten here several times - the food always consistently good. The staff less so unfortunately, though I should say, there is a pecking order of levels here, from basic servers to more senior waiters - this time we were lucky & our waiter was a dream - he dealt wonderfully with all my nitty gritty questions, knew all the answers and helped me so much, with no attitude whatsoever. He welcomed & in fact encouraged my questions, which is extremely rare!
Wayne had a delicious Chardonnay - Cervaro Chardonnay, Castello della Sala, Umbria, which at £19 per glass you’d hope so! My non-alcoholic Punchy was perfect. We shared 2 entrees which were delicious - the Vitello Tonnato is one of the best. Very generous serve – tender & the sauce just right. Our mains were superb as well - my pasta was cooked al dente & the cheese was so refined. Personally I think a thinner pasta works better to soak up more sauce but it was delicious all the same. Wayne’s Veal was so tender & tasty. Rarely can we fit in dessert - how do people do it!
One of the best Italian restaurants in London. Lobster ravioli and agnolotti with truffles are 10/10. However, vitello tonnato and limoncello baba were quite mediocre.
Love this restaurant. The staff are super professional and on point. The setting is beautiful (it's a former bank, now hotel). The food is excellent. I ate vegetarian options, my guest ate meat and fish. Save room for the desserts. It's usually full of city works having an expense account lunch. I went with my financial advisor and he paid so that was good for me!! It's pricey but worth it for good food and a special occasion. I wrote a review for my blog so am sharing some of those pictures with you.
Had 8PM reservations at Cecconi’s last night. Restaurant was pretty empty, asked to sit in a corner booth and the hostess said there was a party of three reserving that spot but no one ever came the entire night we were there (we left around closing). Took them a while to come to our table to take our drinks orders. When they did come we ordered espresso martini and a vodka martini. Definitely regretted the espresso intake last night, heart was racing. Two is more than enough. The espresso martini was sooo good we ended up ordering seven of them. The vodka martini was very different compared to what we are used to; not bad but didn’t order again.
For our starters we ordered the San Daniele, Gnocco Fritto, Focaccia bread w/ olive oil, Buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil pizzette, and the Beef Carpaccio. The focaccia bread tasted a bit stale so we ended up telling the waitress and she was kind enough to take it off the bill. The beef carpaccio was good but needed some more dressing, and tasted a bit plain. The pizza was very very tasty. The sauce and mozzarella on top were delicious. But the SAN DANIELE WAS TO DIE FOR. My boyfriend and I were so obsessed we were going to go again for dinner to just order that. It was fried dough almost like zeppolis with thinly sliced prosciutto. SOOOO GOOD!!
For our meals we got the Veal Milanese and the Cacio e Pepe. Both tasted amazing. The veal could have been a little thinner and needed salt but when we squeezed extra lemon it tasted good. I asked for the cacio e pepe with less black pepper and they listened. Cooked to perfection and tasted sooo good. The pasta was al dente just how I like it.
For dessert we got the Profiteroles, amarena ice cream. Looked so good on Instagram pictures but when we tried it, it wasn’t for us. The ice cream in the middle tasted icy and the profiterole itself was hard. They came to the table and poured hot chocolate sauce all over, very nice but still didn’t help with taste. They were kind enough to also take that off the bill since we both only took one bite.
If we are ever in London again we would definitely love to come back. Located inside of the Ned Hotel, has romantic vibes with dimmed lighting and live band. Loved it!
Our food came out relatively quickly and was fresh and flavorful. Cocktails were excellent. There was a live band and many guests were dancing. The ambiance was warm and cozy.
Perfect menu, portions, amazing flavour with amazing ambience to match. The live music is 10/10 as usual. A gem in the city (and in London generally). I was served by, or should I say, well taken care of by Dorin. He’s an absolute credit to the spot and his friendly service was the cherry on top of what was an incredible meal. I’m already looking forward to coming back again soon.
