  Rucoletta is a fantastic little Italian spot tucked just behind St Paul’s Cathedral. I went in without much expectation and left genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. I had a prawn pasta dish (can’t remember the exact name!) — it came with giant, juicy prawns in a beautifully balanced, light sauce. The pasta was perfectly cooked and soaked up the flavours so well. You could tell the ingredients were really fresh. It was one of those dishes you don’t want to end. The service was quick even though the place was quite busy. The warm bread with olive oil they bring out is a nice touch, and overall, the prices are very fair for central London — especially for the quality you’re getting. It’s one of those rare places that feels like a local secret. No gimmicks, just really good food and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving proper Italian!

  Warm welcome, informed and fun service accompanying the authentic food. 4 of us all very much enjoyed our food. In fact, our vegetarian friend said "This is the best arrabbiata I have enjoyed in my 60yrs." The veal was superb, subtle flavours, light breading. The salmon piece as a main was large and done to perfection (not overcooked as it often can be). The gluten free pasta (penne) portion was large and done very well. When in this neighborhood again, we'll return to try some of their other options. We sat upstairs, it's cozy, comfortable and the glass ceiling added to the ambience

  The home made pasta was excellent, as good as I've had anywhere. The service from Jo Jo was great and she made us feel at home. We greatly appreciated her wine knowledge, so choose whatever she recommends. We'll definitely go back.

  The portion sizes are rather small and the value for money is low. The sea bass in the appetiser was sashimi and not very tasty. Fried calamari a total of five squid rings and 4 small fish. The pasta for the main course was tasty.

  Really good pasta - clearly freshly made, great texture and taste. A fellow customer told me this place is well known for serving the best pasta in the City, which I can believe. Tiramisu was also obviously home made and very good. Has an old fashioned feel, which if rather liked. Not cheap, but filling, and great food.
