We went for the Signature menu after reading it online. For four set courses and a half bottle of wine per person, it must be the best value for money menu in London. Every course was excellent, beginning with beef carpaccio that just melted in the mouth. The primi pasta course was exceptional with perfectly cooked, al dente pasta generously filled with a duck and porcini filling and a rich sauce. The main course of guinea fowl was superbly executed while the Amalfi lemon tart was the perfect way to end a delicious meal. Service was great to start but our original waiter seemed to disappear and we became a bit of an after thought. Everyone was nice but it seemed like they were more interested in serving schmoozing over big-tipping Americans, although I do hope I'm wrong on that one.
Fantastic restaurant, can't recommend this enough. Great place for a special occasion and the portion sizes were very generous compared to restaurants of this nature... I'm a big eater and I struggled to finish everything!
Ordered the calamari for starters and the Guinea fowl for main- both were cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. Ordered the vanilla creme brulé with rhubarb for dessert which was nice. 10/10 service as well
Our must-go-to restaurant in London. Fantastic food and service. The regional tasting menus with wine parings are a sheer delight. The Sunday brunch will leave you full and content. Marvelous place!
Exceptional service, fantastic food, great atmosphere. One of the Best hotel based restaurants around. Soup delightful, lamb cooked to perfection and desserts sublime.
We came here for dinner. This restaurant is within the intercontinental hotel, on the right side of reception. The decor is marvellous. The service was great as was the ambience. We started off with some bread which was nice. We then got the cheese soufflé which was okay but lacked flavour. We also got the calamari which was nice- it tasted great with the lemon. For mains we got the lobster ravioli which was lovely and the sauce was exquisite. We also got the duck cappelletti which was good but the sauce was a bit too heavy. The angelo mocktail was also lovely. I would recommend coming for the experience but we were not wowed by the food. For desert we got the amalfi lemon tart which was lovely. Our total bill was £72 with our discount. The waiter was very considerate of our food requirements which was nice.
Had always wanted to visit and as I had a meeting in London, decided to pop in on a Wednesday evening. Restaurant was a bit on the quiet side. Several menu options, but decided on the 3 Course Set Menu, which at £40 (including a drink) was very good value. Fast and attentive service provided by Bridget and Peter.
Overall, I give Theo Randall's top marks for food and service. Plus the restaurant itself was immaculate. But for me it lacked a bit of character - maybe should have visited on a Friday or Saturday night.
And the lighting was way too dim.
Will definitely return though.
Our second time to this fabulous restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The team that looked after us were brilliant and very attentive without being overbearing. Classy but not too starchy atmosphere. The food was AMAZING and reasonably priced.
Five stars for sure and we will return for the next milestone birthday. Fantastic, and a big thank you to all.
I was treated to the festive menu for my 60th birthday and we could not have been treated better. From arriving, to the service and the food. We were explained the reasons for the wine choices and they really did complement the food, which was exceptional. Would highly recommend
Lovey Lunch here fresh Italian food and a good price for the quality of the food and expensive london location highy recommend 👌 😋

If you love Italian food and wine along with fabulous cocktails and service of the highest order from one of the very best front of house teams then a visit to Theo Randall at the Intercontinental is an absolute must. This restaurant has easily become a real favourite of ours and after yet another excellent dining experience on saturday night it’s not hard to see why.
It all began on arrival when we received a lovely welcome before being escorted to the bar area to enjoy an aperitif. Here we were greeted by Astrit who is definitely one of the best mixologists around. We got to enjoy two of his new creations. The first was the South Slope with panarea gin , aperol , lillet blanc , mandarin , lemon and bitters and the other was the Apollo with havana 7 and kraken rum , cointreau , coffee , pistachio , vanilla and citrus. These were two amazing cocktails and a great way to start the evening.
We then headed to our table and were met by Dorina , Brigida and our waiter for the evening Francisco who provided excellent service throughout the evening. On this occasion we decided to go for the a la carte menu something we hadn’t done for a while due to previous visits where we’ve loved the regional tasting menu’s and weekend brunch. We started by enjoying some Zucchini Fritte along with Focaccia and tomato crostini while finishing off our Romantica cocktail.
ANTIPASTI - Now to begin the food experience which started with two fantastic antipasti dishes. My wife opted for the Tartare di Tonno with yellowfin tuna tartare , pangrattato , rocket , capers , and amalfi lemons. I was in heaven with my Calamari in Padella with pan fried squid , cannellini beans , chilli , anchovies , parsley and chopped rocket. These were paired beautifully with a Planeta Alastro 2021 wine from Sicily.
PRIMI - We now moved on to the pasta section with the first being a Ravioli di Aragosta with dorset blue lobster , tomato and shellfish broth. My pasta dish was the one I’d seen on Saturday Kitchen that morning and it was delicious. The Ravioli di Tartufo e patate con asparagi bianchi filled with potato , winter black truffle , white asparagus , butter and parmesan. Paired once again with another excellent wine from the Planeta winery. (sorry about quality of pic).
SECONDI - It was now time to move on to the main course and easily one of the best monkfish dishes I ever had the pleasure of eating. The Coda di Rospo with cornish monkfish , charlotte potatoes , fennel , thyme , garlic , crispy prosciutto , white wine , capers and parsley. My wife enjoyed the Fegato di Vitello a pan fried calves liver with pancetta , sage , wild mushrooms and spinach. Paired with a Planeta La Segreta 2020 Nero D’Avola.
DOLCI - Now for desserts. Here my wife opted for the Cheese Course where for myself I just couldn’t decide between the Amalfi Lemon Tart and the Ricotta Cheesecake with pears , sultanas marinated in marsala and vanilla so I ordered both and what an absolute pleasure they were to. These were paired with a Planeta Passito di Noto 2019.
We finished with coffee and petit fours to bring to an end another fantastic dining experience at Theo Randall at the Intercontinental. The food was amazing , the wine was excellent , the cocktails were stunning and the service was impeccable as ever. So yes I would highly recommend a visit and it won’t be too long before I’m back again.
Thank You Theo , Dorina , Astrit , Francisco , Brigida and all the team for a fabulous italian evening and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Ciao for now.
