Rossopomodoro Covent Garden

I went on a Tuesday night @ 7, the restaurant was almost full but the vibes were good. The gluten free pizza dough is really chewy and yummy. I ordered the Napoletana GF and it was a little oily, maybe bc the anchovies, but good. My BF liked the Ventura with regular crust. The regular crust is more fluffy while the GF is expectedly flat. The pies came out super fast, just a minute after the drinks. The sharing cocktail just was huge!

Great spot to grab a quick pizza before or after theatre. The staff was great, and the Neapolitan style pizza was very good. Busy place but tables open up relatively quickly. The Italian pop soundtrack adds to the good atmosphere.

Came her to experience Italian food. The restaurant is located along a sharp corner in Soho with incredible views. Great ambiance, friendly staff, large windows. Plants, window paint, and fun decor rings the tables. The ragu I had was delectable and the meat was so tender and flavorful. It took forever to get the bill, but we popped in right before the dinner rush and the mostly empty restaurant was filled by the time we left. The area this restaurant is located in is prime, and it was incredible food if you're not snobby about your Italian food.

We enjoyed this place - they offered gluten free pizza which we welcomed after a long day of exploring, and before going to a show. The staff was nice, the atmosphere was a bit loud, and we did actually have a celebrity sighting in the restaurant which was pretty neat.

We've eaten at Rossopomodoro's before in Venice and Los Angeles and had great experiences there as well.
However this time we came pretty jet lagged and tired from a long flight and as always, the food was great! We were energized after dinner which was greatly appreciated lol.

But would definitely recommend it (keep in mind the prices are pretty high but considering how touristy the area is, it's to be expected)

Not good. Not only did I see the food sitting getting cold, I watched a waitress with her hand put the ham on the pizza after was waiting.
She then gave the pizza to us not even cut

Pizza was not even done

Terrible place to go waiting for a show. Bathroom smelled horrible

The best thing about this place was the friendliness of the welcome, both from the person on the door controlling numbers and our server who was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.
Food was good but there are better pizzas and pastas in London, main courses were priced reasonably for this part of London at around 13 pounds for a pizza or pasta dish. The starters and dessert were overpriced, the bread basket was not really a bread basket with a variety of breads, it was four slices from an ordinary baguette, no butter accompanied it, two of us were dining and we commented it was almost a pound a slice. The mixed olives were 3.75 from memory and were ok but I have had more flavorsome olives from the deli counter in Waitrose for example.
Would I dine here again, I would if the person I was dining with either wanted to try it or was crazy about it but there are many other experiences to chose from in the area so I'd probably give one of those a try next time.

Came here as a way to escape the rain but turned out to be a good surprise. We got two pizzas and two pastas to share between 4 people, and we had leftovers.

The place has a second floor so at least they can accommodate a lot of people.

I ordered the parpadelle which has pancetta which was really good.

The pizzas, however, were quite underwhelming.

I think I would want to try their other pastas if we were back, but i wouldn't lose sleep if we never went back either.

No sure, why the poor review here. I was taken here for lunch by my (very) Italian manager. Her stamp of approval was partially responsible for my slightly higher expectations coming in. I was a little disappointed by the lack of lasagna on the menu, which I was really craving. However, I ordered the closest thing to lasagna on the menu, which was the beef bolognese. I loved that fact that the pasta was hand-made and the sauce was rich.

The icing on the cake for me was literal icing (cream) that came with the affogato. They served the espresso in a separate kettle, which allowed me to control the ice cream to espresso ratio throughout my indulgence. Brilliant!

Also, one of my friends at the lunch, made a bold claim that Rossopomodoro have some of the best pizza in London. I'll have to test that theory next time around.

The food was ridiculous salty! We literally chugged two big jugs of water with our pizza and pasta. I really wanted to like this place - the staff was really welcoming and attentive, the restaurant is at a great location (it's about 15 minute walk from the British Museum, between Seven Dials and Covenant Garden) but the amount of salt they put on their food was unbelievable.
Salt level aside, the pizza was well-made and the crust was soft and fluffy. The spianata salami was delicious. The Carbonara sauce tasted very different from the typical Carbonara you get from the U.S, so I'm not sure if this is supposed to be more authentic? I didn't love it. The calamari was a total miss - they put a good amount of fried dough with seaweed into the dish so you end up getting maybe 8-10 pieces of calamari for £9.95...I wouldn't recommends this place.
