The food here is excellent however the service is pretty hit or miss. When you book you are asked the occasion but during our visit for a birthday there wasn’t anything done for us. We did see another table get a small cake/candle brought out but that might have been one they brought themselves. The
Dinner at Ave Mario hit a sour note that even Ave Maria's melodic grace couldn't harmonize. As enthusiasts of Big Mamma restaurants, we entered with high expectations, drawn to the lively ambiance and robust menu. Unfortunately, our evening was marred by a series of disappointments.
The night start
Location perfect!! I love the lights, decorations and the neons. I have booked this place 3 weeks in advance cause I have seen the reviews and it’s always full booked.
In my opinion the pasta was a little dry, but this is my personal taste. Excellent starters, perfect service thanks to Pablo who was
I recently dined at this charming Italian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The ambiance exudes good vibes, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a mouthwatering selection of Italian classics, and the food lived up to the hype. From flavorful pasta dishes to perfectly co
Amazing atmosphere- several different rooms with really different vibes. Downstairs you can see straight into the kitchen. Really unique place, tea served in a teapot which looked like a swan!
Delicious food, portions slightly on the small side but really tasty.
Catered very well to a dietary requir
Amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Big mama does not disappoint again. They make birthdays special - singing HBD or low key, you just need to let them know. Please think of lactose free option but to be able to enjoy the food.
Great decor. Wonderful selections on the menus. Amazing food and presentation.
The most outstanding service by Zuza. Made our afternoon special.
The food is always great and the service is friendly but spotty. If you are seated in the basement near the open kitchen, then it gets pretty hot! The pizza and pastas are their signatures but the steak is a bit on the price side! Be sure to try one of their signature cocktails 🍹
Ave Mario was delicious at first sight. It felt like home in the best way. The drinks hit the spot, the food was plated beautifully and tasted delicious. The food was full of flavor and don't sleep on the carbonara served for 2 out of a cheese wheel! The bathrooms even impressed me! We ate here in b
An Italian restaurant with a modern design full of colors.

Fresh and delicious classic dishes from Italian cuisine.
Delightful desserts and excellent cocktails.
Reservations must be made in advance.
An excellent Italian restaurant with delicious pastas and dessert. The service was amazing and the décor beautiful. A great place for family dinner, date or a Sunday brunch. They have outside sitting as well in the front and the back of the restaurant.
Arrived wanting a table for two without pre-booking. I gave my phone number and was told I’d receive a text when a table became available. We had a lovely stroll around Covent Garden until I received the text as expected.
I highly recommend the Triple Cheese Truffle Polenta, it was simply delicious
What a great venue! Very atmospheric and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating (we asked to move tables/floor). The restaurant is over 2.5 levels. The only negative comment we have was that the basement level smelt a bit of drains. The bathrooms are especially crazy!!! Loved it.
Love the decoration of the restaurant. The pastas were really good. Pizza lack of crispy crust which is a little let down for me.
Service was excellent. Overall a good dining experience.
Beautiful and nice Italian restaurant in Covent Garden area. We were delighted with food, wine and desserts. The tip is do not pay the bill using the QR code it costs a checkout fee of £2.99. But your call, after having a good time, vibe, enjoying the food, etc. it's peanuts the £2.99 or NOT.
Dined here for a birthday celebration and the experience couldn’t have been any better. The waiters were very accommodating to our needs and always around to check up on the table. I would come back here again and again for Italian food.
The food was incredible and there was a wide range of drinks
The restaurant is very cute and the quality of the food is spectacular! That was my husband’s choice to celebrate our anniversary and I was mesmerized by the delicious truffle pasta I ate there. My husband was very happy with his funghi pasta. The burrata and focaccia were also very good! Definitely
