C London

That place is really what you call OVERRATED! My family & I went to have dinner in there a while ago for the first time in that place. Despite the unfriendly staff member -unwarm welcoming- that has doubted our reservation mixing it with another person name & his head to toe look , the place was very noisy & croweded , we felt as if we were suffocating with the decor tightness & crowdness of people.

We had a set menu at that day , the food were horrible, they gave us 3 different dishes of fish which was too much! I was literally crying on the inside in every bite! & the dessert was inedible disaster! & the total amount was insane! The only good thing about it is that we spotted some celebrities having dinner & someone proposed to another! Which was deeply romantic & touching! & oh they even had a small singing band, Other than that it was a one time only experience & it shall never be repeated!

I ended up celebrating my birthday at Cipriani and has a wonderful time.

This place is definitely posh - they made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. I ended up getting some of their pasta, and it was easily the best pasta I've had since Italy.

I had a wonderful time - it was one to remember.

I stopped by on Saturday without a reservation and was pleased they were able to find me a table right away. Staff was polite and service was prompt.

The food, dessert and drink were all spot on - savory. This place is worth the trip if you're visiting London - I do recommend.

THIS RESTAURANT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE

Just to start, the tile and travertine floors were filthy the moment you walked in. All of the decor looked like someone from a 1960's boat puked all over the walls, and the restaurant didn't even open until six. Not to mention that every employee was wearing oversized white tuxedos like they were acting for a little kids birthday party.

However most importantly the food and drinks were absolutely DISGUSTING. The rigatoni I had ordered was vastly undercooked and had a gut wrenching brown color like it was sitting in the sun for a few days. The lamb chops were just as gross, with 0 flavor and tasted it like it was cooked in an easy bake oven. The vodka and peach cocktail had zero originality to it and was just juice from a can of peaches and a couple shots of sky vodka from the liquor store down the street. Oh, and I forgot to mention that they didn't even have a PROPER WINE GLASS.

This is a famous well known chain of restaurant, but this one shouldn't even be considered as one of them. My group and I literally went home and ordered McDonald's because the food was so bad. And guess what? McDonalds did it BETTER!

Do yourself a favor and never even look at this Cipriani in London. It should be wiped from the face of the earth and a convenience store should take its place.

I've been dining at C London/Cipriani restaurant ever since it opened, which must be nearly 20 years ago.

I had booked a table for my wife's birthday with our 2 children, aged 13 and 15 and they refused us entry because my 13 year old was wearing shorts. These were smart, tailored shorts and it was one of the hottest days of the year - over 30 degrees outside.

You can imagine the extreme disappointment of my wife on her birthday when her chosen restaurant refused her family entry.

We could have chosen to eat anywhere in London, spending our hard earned money at any one of thousands of restaurants, yet we had chosen you.

Not only did you let us down, you have lost a customer for life. As a well-connected, high net worth individual, I will make sure that I make every effort to convey my experience to others and to ensure you lose future lifetime revenue and customers.

We were lucky enough to have been staying in a £7000 a night suite in the The Dorchester Hotel and a quick phone call to the hotel Concierge sourced an alternative restaurant who could not have welcomed us more openly. The service was superb and we ended up with a bill of nearly £2000. I gave the staff a substantial cash tip, on top of the standard service charge that had been added to the bill.

It's incredible to hear that C London, which now appears to be back using the Cipriani name, is doing so well financially, despite other hospitality venues suffering, that they can turn down business from longstanding customers or indeed anyone who wishes to spend money with them.

Once seated, no one can see whether a child is wearing shorts and so your policy is ridiculous. We witnessed other diners dressed inappropriately, wearing revealing outfits and covered in tattoos, yet you chose to take offence with my 13 year old child's smart shorts. This restaurant bizarrely allows dogs into their venue but not children in smart shorts.

I would warn other potential diners to read the other reviews of this restaurant and to think very carefully about whether you wish to associate yourself with a restaurant that operates like this.

There are thousands of restaurants in London, so choose carefully.

Excellent food and impeccable service.

I shall expand on the above. I stumbled upon the place the night before and was looking in the window and trying to figure out what the deal was as on this quite street is a buzzy restaurant, with tall models spilling out with wealthy looking friends, super expensive cars out front. WTF is going on. Anyway, I kept it moving.

The next night I walked by again around dinner time and paused, when the doorman / bouncer asked if I had been by the night before. When I said yes because I was curious what the place was, he asked if I wanted to come in for dinner - probably the nicest doorman ever.

I got there just before the dinner rush, so they got me a table for 1 and from there I was brilliantly taken care of by 2 waiters, seamlessly filling drinks and bringing wine and cocktails, answering questions, chatting me up, etc. The food was simple; salads, bolognese, etc., but it was all very delicious. I had dessert, too. The meal was paced perfectly, they did not rush me out or anything. By the time I left, the models and billionaires from Monaco had arrived and the place was packed.

I thanked the manager personally and he gave me his card to contact him on my next visit. People can complain all they want about C, but I had one the best end to end dining experiences in my life.

Loved my experience here. I am such a fan of this chain. I have been to Cipriani many times in NY and decided to give it a try while in London. The staff are very professional, friendly and eager to please.
We enjoyed our meal, and the ambiance . Would definitely recommend if you are visiting or are a local.

Probably the most traditional Italian restaurant in London BUT the prices
I have been there 5 times, I love the food (I have been to the original Harry's bar in Venice) but come on..! 2 people brunch (my latest one) half carafe of wine £180 !! Why?!
The only place I can feel like Italy, amazing desserts and main courses.
It is ironic that they supposed to be an Italian cantina or brasserie when you ask for some proper wine glasses (which they do not have) but the prices show of a 3 starred restaurant!


Yes it is a place to see and be seen (I was there with R.Cavali, Simon from X-factor etc).
Good to have an idea how proper Italian looks like!

Amazing food amazing atmosphere amazing service. Definitely recommended.
Make sure to order the burrata and rigatoni pasta.

We were able to get a last minute reservation on Friday evening of Easter weekend, which I suppose doesn't bode that well for the popularity of C London. The inside is a bit run down, and the tables are really squished together which is rather uncomfortable. The food was good - I had creamy toretllini with proscuitto and peas, and it was rich and decadent (to the point that I had to talk half of it home!). The vanilla meringue pie is really nice and light, a great accompaniment to coffee. But overall the ambiance just doesn't suit the name or the price point.
