Prezzo

Quite decent, mid-​range ‘fancy-​casual’ Italian which is more upscale than your neighborhood Pizza Express but not quite Strada level. This one is particularly nice due to it’s location near the theater and shopping. Plus I like the extra contemporary simple interior with light wood and the curvaceous counter separating the middle.
Good for:
–post graduation lunch with the grandparents after you already celebrated with your parents
–telling-​your-​best-​friends-​you-​got-​engaged dinner
–no reservation necessary post matinée lunch
–perk up salad after shopping session
We had a taste card so most food things were half off and definitely worth it.
My ‘Breasola’ (thin slices of cured beef, rocket, olives, bella lodi cheese, mozarella, and tomato) was average at best as there was not nearly enough cheese or sauce on it given that there should have been two kinds on it. Also, skimpy on toppings. I hate unnecessary scroogery.
Had a slice of the ‘Steak and Rocket’ (rare steak, red onion, tomatoes, olives, bella lodi cheese, mozzarella, and rocket) which would have been a knock-​out but for the barely there sauce and chese. Still was very jelly. The good thing with lunch is that there is always tomorrow.

You would expect a decent Prezzo branch in busy Piccadilly, wouldn’t you? Unfortunately the cooking here was below par. Combo Pasta — Spaghetti with King Prawns and Spaghetti with Meatballs — were not properly heated, so one part was cold and the other part was just warm. It could only happen when they used the pre-​cooked pasta and carelessly reheated it in sauce. Chicken Milanese was burnt and dry, and came with very small salad. The service we received from the manager was lukewarm, but when the proper waitress took over, it was far better.
The toilet was shocking! It had seriously bad odour. This made me think what their kitchen was like. We would definitely not going back.

I went to this restaurant with my wife and my baby boy without reservation in the weekend hoping to find a table and the manager was too kind and managed to get us one. I tried their beef lasagna and absolutely love it. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn’t like is the size of the restaurant and the toilet was a little bit dirty and need some care.

I just arrived home from Prezzo in Piccadilly Circus and what a shitty experience.
As we’ve done at countless mid-​range chains since the birth of our child, I met my wife and kid after work at a place that the child would eat, and we could enjoy a glass of wine (250ml no less).
After receiving the kids meal and a drink the manager arrived at the table and asked us if we wanted to order our mains so we informed him that we would not be ordering food.
This man starts going nuts, telling us we can’t drink without ordering a meal, and just keeps going on and on. I actually had to ask him to leave us alone, he was majority harassing my vibe.
It’s not our problem your waiter served me a drink, yell at him, or rather, grow up and treat people well.
I’ll have to get my executive VIP pizza elsewhere.

I went here for lunch with a few friends from work. I got here first so I was sat waiting for them for some time.
But, this was not a problem at all. They served me my wine and left me be until my friends arrived.
I have to say what put this from a 3 star to 4 star is the service here. One of the waitresses lent me her iPhone 5 charger as my phone was dying and let me plug it in! Top shout.
We all ordered lunch and the food was out quickly. Which is great if you need to be in and out for a lunchtime break.
The food was typical Prezzo food and standard, there’s not much really to add about it. It was nice.
The toilets were immaculate.
The air con was a bit brutal and I went to put my coat back on, but we said something and the waitress heard so she went and turned it down a bit, which was good of her.
We went through quite a bit of wine ;) and we didn’t have to wait or try hard to get the waitresses attention, which is always good when you are doing vino with the girls!
This is a strong contender in the area for a regular lunchtime haunt to go. We have been and we definitely be going back.
