Joanna SuchomskaMarch 1, 2015The spinach and strawberries salad is a must. If you're into pasta, I can recommend the basic tomato sauce and mozzarella one. Great place, good value, will be coming back!
Mag KeFebruary 28, 2015Very nice choice of pasta and pizza here. You may choose the type of pasta you like the most. The size of meals meets the price exactly (e.g. £7.95 for a huge amount of Bolognese).
Jacky YanSeptember 5, 2015Great pasta and big portion. The pasta will come with two pieces of sourdough that really wins my heart. This worldwide self service Italian restaurant has come one of my favorite restaurant!Must Try!
Joana MagalhãesFebruary 21, 2016another amazing experience here!! funghi risotto with extra prawns, carbonara and calzone really good, the best italian ever!! staff always amazing. Noise and busy... cheap!!!!!
Adam QRSeptember 28, 2014What a phenomenally amazing restaurant. Self service with friendly chefs and a great menu selection. The Perla is fantastic with a large ball of good Buffalo mozzarella and a huge helping of Parma ham- Matt TaylorSeptember 14, 2014Take a card, walk to your chosen food counter and watch as your meal is prepared in front of you. Generous portions at great prices in a lovely atmosphere. And you can say exactly how you like it.
Emily-janeJune 6, 2017Choose your own pizza toppings, type of pasta, add ingredients you want in it and watch it all cooked fresh in front of you! Electronic billing card system, fast fresh food perfection!!
Shaun WestonJuly 19, 2016Hard not to love Vapiano: good Pasta Basilico, good Amarone, nice bread, nice pizza and indoor trees. The music is a bit loud, and the queues can be horrendously long. Otherwise, top notch eats.
Chris R (thechristophe)March 1, 2015Great food and concept, 'fast pasta' (and pizza), tastes lovely and excellent value for money in the heart of London. Brilliant ambience too. Erdinger and Peroni on tap.
Michaela WatkinsonNovember 26, 2017Had a garlic mushroom penne pasta, so nice! Really good place for groups as everyone orders and pays separately.
Janka RigóováDecember 15, 2017Really good taste. I was here first time and I am really happy. Food is not too expensive. I recommend
Mark AshworthNovember 16, 2014I love the pasta here. The friendly chefs will ask you exactly how you like it and then cook it in front of you. It's a shame that most people can't get their heads around the ordering system.- Joana MagalhãesDecember 14, 2015amazing food, tried two pastas, to die for... good price as well. Good concept and italian staff! a bit loud but beautiful
It's a fun experience with the payment cards and in-front-of-you cooking, but be sure to leave something on your seats while you go to order, or your seats will be taken!
Bruno B.July 22, 2015The best of the Vapianos in London. Never crowded like the Portland St but very central compared to the Southwark branch. Try the pesto rosso with campanelle!
James PearsonSeptember 18, 2014An interesting way of doing things, watch the chef make your food and swipe an oyster like card then pay on exit, I love it! Oh and the pasta is great too!
Ian BurnipAugust 20, 2014Great new Vapiano right in the heart of Soho. Downstairs has a great ambience. Quieter than the Portland St one and not much further from Oxford Street.
Melissa MeowDecember 24, 2015It is fun to watch the chef prepare your food in front of you and you can tell them exactly how you want it to be! Really reasonable portions for the price!
Matthias BauwJuly 11, 2016Had the salmon pasta. Really good flavour. I liked it a lot. Service was. Good for a quick meal when you're going to see a West End show- Get the huge antipasti starter platter to share. Meant for two, but it can easily feed three!
Hela SlimNovember 28, 2014Very nice concept with the payment card. The cooking is done in front of you. Warm atmosphere and good food!
Andrea LazzariniJuly 31, 2015One of my favorite places. All the plates are cooked in front of you and customized by you. Excellent Italian dessert. I LOVE this place!
Cathy CApril 30, 2016Generous portions of tasty pasta cooked to your liking and a great atmosphere downstairs. Long queues at weekends though, still with it
Scott InglisMarch 13, 2017Bolognese was brilliant, if you fancy something a little different you can get stir fry mixed with pasta! I highly recommend!
Maha AMay 8, 2017It is so crowded & loud but omg their pastas 😍😍😍 I regularly come here for Prawn Spinach Pasta 😍
Fatimah AlTassanSeptember 14, 2017I made a special order of mixed mozzarella&parmesan pizza ..so yumm, plus the spinach and strawberries salad it's a must👌🏼
Yiota PapMay 3, 2017interesting concept: order your dish and watch the chefs prepare it in front of you. however, if it's busy you might end up standing for a while
Aidana AssylbekovaApril 2, 2019Chicken estiva is perfect 😋 Recently tried pizza as well. It was delicious 😍
- At the starter counter, you can taste their dressings with bread. I stuff myself with them, and suggest you do too.
Nicole DixonFebruary 16, 2016Best pasta I've ever had. Fresh and al dente - delicious! Biggest juicy prawns too!
Nice Italian fresh made food. I've tried pasta as well as pizza and salads. Everything is amazing everytime.
Dimitra L.July 6, 2015Great pasta, freshly prepared in front of you. Pizza also jummie with thin and crispy dough.Value for money 💰
NabilJuly 16, 2015Great concept (you order at the kitchen and watch it get made) but wait can get long and you're standing in cue- Fancy pasta? Try the pesto rosso on rocket ravioli. Dark, rich, tomato-y, and so, so tasty.
Thierry LevenqNovember 24, 2017Quite expensive for a restaurant with zero service. Pizzas are good but certainly not to die for.
Jessica AnsaldiSeptember 27, 2016Lovely fresh pastas and pizzas. Cool and modern atmosphere. Customisable dishes. Fresh ingredients. Always a lovely meal.
Aled SamuelDecember 6, 2015Weird place, they use some odd card system which is kind of cool. But then you go to a counter and order food like some animal and wait there for ages. Luckily my friend knew what I wanted and got it.
KseniaJuly 13, 2015Pizza Crudo - yum. And if you want a really really really lotta chocolate, take death by chocolate.
Sarah 🍪 FinautJuly 11, 2016Tasty pasta, cooked to order. Simple, fast and inexpensive. Friendly staff. Good for a quick meal.
Alexandra TritzOctober 30, 2016Very nice pasta ! A lot of flavours to choose from and it was not expensive at all !
- Tom LiemApril 25, 2015Good pasta and pizza, good environment and good service and Cheap. Definetely value for money!
abdulla alJuly 11, 2016The gamberitti pasta is the best here. In Vapiano I recommend u order only pastas
Dirk De duytscheSeptember 27, 2019A good Italian in Soho. Quick services, good food, friendly and good price for Soho.
Justine RJune 23, 2016Not the best Italian out there, but it's perfect for a quick pasta/pizza stop. Good value as well.
Kleber PintoAugust 30, 2014Fresh sauce and tasty pasta! Difficult to choose from so many good options.
Armando TreppiccioneJanuary 19, 2016I went on a Saturday night, worst experience ever. Staff wasn't polite at all. Pizza wasn't good and not cheap as a Margherita is £7.25 (considering there are no waiters!!). The place was also dirty.

"The food is simply coherent and harmonious. The small salads and coppa plates are a great start to get ready for tagliatella with pork ragu and cappanela w brown crab. Finish w roasted hog shoulder"
