Sergio’s Restaurant

Good atmosphere. Friedly people. I didn’t like main dish. Yes I did ask for substitute sauce, but what I got was not really a sauce. Starters, desert and drinks were good.

See my check in for details. In short if you are able to this is one of the restaurants you should eat at. Make it part of your plans. Great seafood and seafood pastas.

Spectacular Special Butterfly Prawns £22.00, enough for two really, only just did it justice, but it was delicious. Post BBC Tour called in as it was recommended by friends. The staff are really busy and attentive to the right amount, the owner loves interaction with his guests. All around the walls are loads of pictures of the owner and family greeting stars of stage and screen. The starter of Insalata Tricolore was huge too.

I ate here last night with guys from work. We were an unexpected group of 9 and they seated us fine, received drinks and put orders in easily. The food was amazing and all came out at the same time. Only slightly on the pricey side, but the portions are huge, so it’s definitely worth it. Not so keen on the celebrity covered wall and rotating photos on the TV screens. But it hasn’t put me off, I’d definitely go again!

came here for my birthday lunch and they treated me wonderfully. They provided me with balloons a decorated table and birthday cake none of which I was expecting. Great pizza and great service

Nope. Nope. NOPE.
As an Italian, I’m always looking for the perfect pizza when abroad (everyone grows home-​sick from time to time). Sergio is just not there, pizza is clearly under average, pricey, topping quality is poor and dough tastes like an undercooked cracker. Just… NO.
But let’s take a step back and see it from the beginning. We go there and we find cards with prostitutes in the menu (yes, I’m not joking). In the room you can distinctly feel a terrible smell of bad fried fish. The menu is proposing about 30 mains (from pasta to meat) and pizza, which is already a bad sign. Yes, I must agree, this IS a «real» italian restaurant, exactly like one of those terrible, overpriced places for tourists that serve bad quality food, which is unfortunately so common in Italy. Just avoid the place, like you would in Italy, and go anywhere else

I made reservations through Unilocal,when our party arrived they welcomed us and we opted to sit outside. The food was great but the service was a little slow but it was a busy Saturday night. Overall, the group was very pleased with their food. We all had the special, spaghetti with prawns. Great meal and recommend.

Sergio’s is up there near the top of my list of best dining experiences while «on holiday» in London. The staff was great, the food was great, and even the customer sitting at the table next to us was great. He was an older gentleman who insisted on buying my wife and me a glass of Limoncello after dinner.
As for the food, the olive tapas — which we don’t normally munch on — were fantastic! They were drizzled in oil, infused with citrus with a little bit of cracked salt on top, and were so good. My wife says that the Pollo Principessa (chicken in breadcrumbs with asparagus and tomatoes) was the best meal she had during the few days spent in London. The lasagna I had was also delicious.
The only downer was that the waitress kept wanting us to fill out a card to potentially win a free meal or whatever. Being in that city for such a short amount of time, there was no need to give up our personal info, but the waitress really didn’t like that we weren’t filling out the card anyway. It made things a little awkward but, other than that, I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience.

Super fun, friendly, and food was delicious! We ended up here merely by looking around Unilocal to find local restaurants. What a treat! The owner is very present, chatty, friendly and the staff is just as fabulous. Generous portions and great variety for our party (several different palates). You can eat upstairs or downstairs where they have music, magician, and dancing. Seems like a great place for a large party.

Wow, I’m shocked at Sergio’s gets 4 stars overall. This place screams tourist — token chef statue outside, pictures of owner with people on the walls, cheesy American pop music blasting, and even a karaōke bar downstairs. The food is just OK, but waaay overpriced — £22 for spaghetti with prawn and £6.50 per glass of house wine that taste like a cheap bottle from Tesco. Service is also a bit lacking. There are much better Italian places in the area for the money — Bellaria across the street and Demartino’s (on Great Portland St) are better choices.

Sergio’s is not a place that would normally attract me, but I found myself here for Eurovision this year with a large group.
This restaurant has to be the most accommodating place. Normally when confronted with 60 of us you’d see smaller choice, flustered waiters and a general frenzie. The main man Ronnie put on an amazing spread for us. We were all sat in the beautiful downstairs area, an intimate cave. He’d provided game sheets, balloons and even prizes.
The waiters took all 60 of us ordering multipul different things in their stride and were polite and attentive throughout. There was such a big choice on the menu and when the food came out I can’t think of one person who was disappointed.
Fresh, simple, hot Italian food. Comforting and delicious.
We all had such a great night with this place going above and beyond!

Nice ambience but the service, price and food left much to be desired.

this is an italian place where the servers speak, give attitude and flirt like italians. and the food is fantastic for italian. get the prawns. the prawns are monster king prawns. (must take picture next time… but it’s hard to waft in the aroma and pause for picture before inhaling the food.)
they have outdoor seating which is pleasant when the sun’s out. and it seems like they serve food all day so if you happen to miss a standard meal time, sergio’s is ready to serve it up.
this is a place i’m willing to take the caloric opportunity cost of consuming pasta. yum.

I’m an unashamed Italian food lover & snob so I was hoping for the best based on the Unilocal reviews. Dined here with friends on a Sunday afternoon and found a pleasant atmosphere, good food and reasonable prices for London. My avocado salad was delicious, the pasta course was good. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good. The Montepulciano de Abruzzo was wonderful. All in all I give it a generous 4 star rating.

I was pleased with the service and food, but really dis-​liked the 1 GBP cover charge. I know a lot of places do that, but it bugs me. The Shrimp scampi was excellent and I will go back.

So last Thursday night — I was walking through Fitzrovia on my way home from a little shopping on Oxford Street when I stumbled upon Sergio’s Restaurant right on the corner across from the Crown and Sceptor. Peering in at the amount of patrons coupled along with the delighted looks on their faces — Sergios had hit my hotlist of places to take my companion.
The following night, Friday, we were sitting in this very restaurant (places on the list get hit pretty soon after arriving on it) We strolled in around 8pm and the place was bumping with clientele.
Got sat at a good table right in the front room — this was especially enjoyable because Segio’s had an tall all-​glass window setup on the corner developing lots of action to be seen outside.
Quickly ordered a great bottle of Italian Rose — I believe from the Pugia region. It was fantastic.
The service here was lights out. The rounds of servers — I counted 4 — continuously stopped by the table to make sure we had everything we needed along with telling jokes and generally making the spot a cool experience.
The food was alright. This is where the 3 stars comes from. I ordered my usual Italian dish — Veal Scalloppini — and it came out bare with no lemon/​white wine sauce on the meat. This greatly disappointed me because of all the fabulous Unilocal I read before arriving here — yet I was 1. hungry and 2. do not like sending food back (worked in restaurant when younger & don’t like to hassle servers)
Following the meal — I ordered a cappucino (really good) and my companion ordered this great coconut gelato in a coconut shell. Being an odd ball, I decided to take spoonfuls of coconut gelato and dip it in the cappucino — to a glorious outcome.
Really thought I had found a hidden gem, after reading the Unilocal I was almost positive, but one below-​par dish has a lasting impression on me.

I stumbled on this place when the pub I was at down the street became too crowded. Pretty good Italian food. Family run buisness makes it comfortable, the owner even came by the table to chat. King prawns is what he recommended so that is what I got, very good indeed. Nice neighborhood crowd, I’d go back.

My wife had the best pasta of her life, my pizza was excellent. A must, Sergio and the waiter were really fun.
Tip: get a dish with prawns they are huge!!!

Wow, what a great little restaurant! An Italian restaurant, through and through. From the food to the service, everything was ace. Plus you know it’s good if Lionel Richie, Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne are regular customers (among the other hundreds of pictures of celebrities)!
After winning a pub quiz, we had £50 to blow, so we were looking for a cheap but good restaurant for the 5 of us. One of us had been to this place before and said it was really good, so we booked a table and because it was so beautiful out, we sat outside. The place filled up quickly, a good indication that this place is really good.
Everyone else went for pizza and I opted for the vegetarian lasagna. It was good, but I wish I’d gone for the pizza too (the only reason I’m demoting it a star). They were as big as bin lids (okay almost), and had amazing toppings. I managed to score a piece of parma ham and artichoke, and everything about it was DELICIOUS!
The staff were super sweet Italian men, and you could tell they were passionate about their restaurant, which was very refreshing.

What a great restaurant! Always busy. Always great food. Excellent customer services and too many choices to choose.
I always doubt restaurants with more than 10 main course!!! Sergio has proved me wrong! Their food are so tastey! I thought I was in Italy having an Italian meal. Their butterfly prawns are HUGE. I have never seen such huge prawns in any restaurants!
The staff were great! Happy, bubbly and helpful! Just when we were thinking of going to the pub across (Crown & Sceptors), they offered us free Italian shots! They made us feel so relaxed being there! We all had a fantastic time and would always go back.
A true Italian restaurant!
