Bar Caffe Ciao

Good food for a reasonable price on the edge of the theatre district. There are toilets available in the restaurant. Staff were very good even though they were constantly on the go. This is the less busy of the Bella Italias hidden around the back of Leicester Square, therefore normally not as much of a wait for seating.

Visited here for lunch with my daughter. It wasn't too busy and as it was an extremely hot day, we chose to sit inside as it was cooler. Cellular data connection on 3 network was very sketchy, so was worth taking a couple of minutes to sign in to the restaurants WiFi, especially if paying the bill with your phone app. We had a lovely meal, both cooked to perfection and tried out a sweet pizza, which was an unusual experience, but maybe not the right choice after a meal and starters too. I was able to have gluten free pasta with my meal as well, which was a bonus for me. We wanted mixed olives, but only green were available, so we had those and were not disappointed. They were really tasty & not hard at all, like some. The atmosphere was very relaxed and all staff were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. If I visit London again, I would definitely consider having a meal at this Bella Vista again.

Great food, I like the option for 1/2 pizza with a green salad. There was a mistake with one of the meals but the team were very quick to rectify. The restaurant is quite small so you feel very close to the back-of-house, we liked it, it added to the vibe but it wouldn't be the place for a quiet meal.

Fantastic service and great food. The hardest part is taking a chance that you'll get a seat on the weekend with no reservations taken. After talking to a bot on the phone (admittedly a reasonable one), I had to call back and say "human" to get transferred and speak to a helpful person at the restaurant. The person was able to advise of no reservations on weekends. Updating the bot to say this would be helpful rather than for it to keep advising that no reservations are available within 2 hours of my requested time. This nearly lost 6 guests, if not for perseverance on my part.... 🍕🍷🍝

Food was delicious and arrived really quickly. We was really impressed with the service and the atmosphere was lovely. Staff were lovely. We was served by Baba who was super friendly, funny and helped me when using the vouchers that I had. Would definitely recommend this place for a romantic evening meal without breaking the bank :)
