Italian
Vasco and Piero opened the restaurant in 1971. Vasco and Piero created the restaurant out of a passion for good, uncomplicated Italian food. The making of fresh pasta on the premises has always been a priority. From the outset, the menu changed twice a day, a tradition which still continues.
Vasco was born in Umbria and as a result of this many foods are sourced direct from farmers in this region. Particular favourites are truffles, wild mushrooms, seasoned cheeses and cured meats such as lombetto and capocollo.
We only use the best quality extra virgin olive oil mainly from Umbria, Central Italy.
Many of our hams & salames such as Lombetto (a cured loin of pork) are imported from local Umbrian farms.
When in season, we import black & white truffles from hunters around the hills of Umbria.
Our balsamic vinegar is from Modena. We use Maldon sea salt with pure flaky crystals.

    Our table was in a quiet-ish position, as we has requested. The staff were very welcoming, polite and helpful. Our orders placed, drinks received and food arrived, all perfectly timed. Food was delicious, service excellent. The restaurant was filling up even after 2pm. the noise level mentioned by other reviewers was not high and quite acceptable. Our first visit to V&PP and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience.

    Really lovely meal for two at one of my all time favourite London restaurants. My first visit in a while and it still hits all the right spots. We started with the endive and Gorgonzola salad. I had the Italian sausages with lentils and my friend had the cod with tomatoes and potatoes. All delicious. We finished off with the panettone pudding (ordered before mains just in case they ran out). Thank you to Paul and the team. I’ll definitely be back soon. Very highly recommended.

    Out of all the restaurants we could have chosen in Soho (off OpenTable) we chose Vasco & Piero's and thank goodness we did! We were not disappointed, as the food was great and with the excellent service and ambience it was overall a fantastic night. Lovely decor and linen table clothes too! Highly recommend!

    Whilst the restaurant looks pleasant inside it is obscured by scaffolding at present. We ordered a 2 starters and 2 main courses and received totally different dishes than those ordered for both of us and for both courses. Ridiculous! Manager was apologetic and reduced bill but something is seriously wrong at present. Not a great experience sadly.

    Went for a pre theatre meal. 1730 booking so left lots of time & there were a few tables taken & filled up quickly which was a good sign. . Quite a small menu choice. My partner picked soup & we were told they’d just run out !! Strange. The service was attentive & polite. I don’t want to put this place down but it just lacked something. We sent a dish back as it was oily & dry (chicken Milanese). The seafood linguine was tasty but lacked seafood quantity. All in all a bit disappointed. Sorry

    Food was good and well presented. We were sitting in a glass enclosure at the back of the restaurant, which was unfortunately occupied by a group of four Hooray Henrys and Henriettas whose voices drowned out our own conversations despite our requests to them. Not the fault of the restaurant.

    Outstanding - as always. A restaurant which has it proprietor constantly present and talking to all - not just his favourites - has a tendency to succeed. There is no better value in Soho. Cheaper places - yes. But better value - no.

    My wife and I always have a wonderful dining experience at V&P. Paul and his team are always attentive and the food and wine options are always appealing. When we were meeting my wife’s aunt and uncle for dinner in London we knew instantly where we should take them so they could leave to fly home with an exceptional food and ambiance experience.

    This has been my favorite Italian restaurant in London since I discovered it 6-7 years ago. We still explore new places, but while many are good, we always end up saying we should have gone to Vasco and Piero instead. That staff and service are always impeccable. It’s the perfect restaurant for before or after a show, a lovely lunch, or a special date. They are equally good at providing a faster paced meal if you need to get to a show, or facilitating a long relaxed dinner filled with wine and conversation. I have eaten there too many times to count and have never had an issue with anything I’ve ever ordered. Mostly we just sit there saying “omg this is so good”. I like food a lot, and while I rarely send things back, I am very critical. I enjoy digging into the good and bad parts of every dish with my partner and talking about the elements. I’m usually disappointed by at least one dish at every new restaurant I try, but Never at Vasco and piero. The simplest thing on their menu is usually stunning, sometimes sticking in our memory for years (I still think about the vegetable soup I had that couldn’t have been simpler and tasted like magic) It’s clear this place is a favorite with people in the soho theater/acting/film crowd as we have seen many recognizable faces. Do yourself a favor and eat here. Also, try the Tiramisu. My husband isn’t a coffee drinker and never liked tiramisu. He tried this one reluctantly on my recommendation and now it’s one of his favorite desserts in London (and he actively goes out with a desert club to try desserts all over the city). He orders it every time we eat there. I could talk about many different dishes I love eating there, but honestly everything is delicious. They have that magic that all good Italian food has, it seems simple, uses limited perfect ingredients, and you know you could try to make the same thing at home 1000 times and it would never taste like magic the way they make it.
