Hai Cenato

Very close to theatre offering pre theatre menu which was well priced
However it was not made clear when I paid the bill that service charge was included. Lesson learned to read bill very closely. I was in hurry to get to theatre! Left tip as well so turned out to be rather expensive. Food was good though. Wine expensive

We had booked a pre theatre supper before going to see Hamilton for my 14 year old daughter’s birthday. Great looking restaurant but the huge glass windows meant that the first table they offered us was cold and drafty so we asked to move. A fairly poor second option was offered but it was a little warmer so we settled in. We had two courses, starter and main, and the food was delicious although the service was a little rushed and impersonal. I had mentioned in my booking that it was my daughter’s birthday but not a mention was made of it by the staff. I got the impression that ‘theatre supper’ visitors are a bit of an inconvenience, given the crappy tables around the edge and not given much in the way of service or attention. It’s a shame as our food was great but I wouldn’t go back.

We went to Hai Cenato for dinner after seeing Hamilton, unfortunately we were over an hour late for our booking. However, I must applaud the manager and staff who could not have been more helpful despite the fact that they had already started to close down the kitchens for the night. We were encouraged to stay, the pizza ovens were switched back on and we had delicious pizzas and drinks, served by attentive and accommodating staff. They even appeared with an ice cream and Birthday candle for one of our guests without any prompting. Its amazing in this day & age and especially in London to receive such excellent service. The food was also really fantastic. Would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant as a great place to dine, but best to come before Hamilton as the show finishes later than expected.
Will definitely return to try out all the other dishes on the menu.

Pre-theatre dinner - excellent service and food. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had 2 for £12 cocktails and the set menu with a delicious ham and broad bean risotto starter, one very rich beef shin ragu pappardelle pasta and a four cheese pizza plus a bottle of wine. We shared the pizza and pasta. All the food was really good. Pretty good value for a Jason Atherton restaurant, although the set lunch at Social Eating House is still my favourite. It was warm so we sat outside. We had booked as we were going to the theatre and arrived at 17.30, but by 18.00 it was getting busy.

Service is outstanding, food very good and above all, this is a relaxed and friendly venue where you can meet friends and enjoy good food and wine.

Terrific service.
Amazing pastas
Risotto brilliant too

Great restaurant. The pizzas are amazing and the cocktails are great too

We enjoyed a fabulous pre-theatre meal at this restaurant and appreciated that we could book from either the a la carte or the pre-theatre set menus, which suited the range of tastes in our party. We ordered three courses and every dish was presented tastefully and was delicious! Cocktails and wine were also fabulous and overall, the service was outstanding. We would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to another visit on our next trip to London!

Really good authentic italian food...get the burrata and arancini
