Circolo Popolare London Reviews
Funky decor but flatters to deceive on the food front
Loved the decor in this buzzing place. Got a small cubicle table for four which was perfect. Food was however a disappointment. Food took ages to arrive and when it did , the Ravioli was stone cold and had to be sent back. At least they didn’t c
Fabulous celebratory meal, perfect pasta!
Such a lovely lunch today to celebrate a friends birthday. It’s so wonderful when you step inside and soak up the atmosphere and interiors. It was incredibly busy, as it always is & for good reason, but the service was excellent as always and t
Style Over Service — A Very Disappointing Visit
After hearing such great things about this Italian restaurant, I was really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately it fell very short of expectations. The service was extremely disappointing. Our waiter acted like he couldn’t care less
So so so disappointing - STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE
Dear Circolo Populare Team, I wanted to share some feedback directly rather than posting it on TripAdvisor, however I reached out over a month ago to speak to you directly - but I’ve had no response. We booked a table for four people at 8pm under

I made a reservation here weeks in advance, and now I totally understand why. The space is absolutely stunning, and the service is impeccable. I also had the best meatballs of my life, and the pesto pasta was unforgettable. The warm lighting, suspend
Pasta, pizza and breadsticks !
Wonderful decor ; up-there with the best of Art inspired eateries. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ bustling with a lively vibe but I felt let down and a little disappointed by the food. ⭐️ My reason for the saying that is my secondi SPIEDINO D
New experience and well worth it!
We had a family lunch here on a Friday. WE made a reservation as we always do and when we arrived we were glad we did! The place was three quarters full at 12:30, and alive with the buizz of happy diners. We decided to aim for pasta main courses f
Fancy ambiance but average taste
This is a fine dining restaurant with prices slightly above average. We ordered pizza and ravioli. We customized one of the pizzas with extra toppings, and while we enjoyed it, we’ve had better pizzas elsewhere — there’s nothing particularly st
Fun place but not worth it!
A popular place but the service was not ok. We had to wait 30 min for drinks. We hade finished our starters when the coctails arrived. The food was good but nothing extra. Fun place, but put your money on another restaurant.
Manchester Circolo Popolare 5 stars!
We visited Circolo Popolare last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth the wait! We’ve wanted to dine here for ages but could never manage to get a table, now we understand why. The decor is stunning, with such a

Phenomenal ambiance! We really enjoyed the setting and backdrop, and we ordered one of the non alcoholic drinks that was so yummy. The truffle pizza was delicious as was the bolognese. Service was decent, but I was annoyed that they automatically add
10/10 recommend
Absolutely perfect. I came with friends on Tuesday and the food and atmosphere was great. Busy but not too loud. Food was divine!
Style over substance- for instagram kids
Firstly it is a beautiful dining room and looks very good. Prices are reasonable for London as rely on high table turnover. However, once you have taken the photos, the food is very average. Good size portions and simple cooking. Pasta, pizzas , cold
Stunning room, excellent food
I went with my wife and daughter having previously enjoyed eating at Ave Maria and Gloria. Must say that Circolo Popolare is my favourite of the 3. Really beautiful room. Very tasty food
Just not Good Enough
Disappointing. Really poor service. Just not interested at all. It’s actually odd because you’re in a beautiful restaurant, in the centre of Manchester, it’s got the wow factor when you walk in (only the downstairs, the upstairs is very dull) s
Great meal / ambience but they try to nickel and dime you
Great tasting food and friendly staff. The setting is beautiful and not far from Covent Garden / Oxford Street. Let down by ridiculous add on charges. 12.5% service fee is fine but then to be asked for gratuity on top and then be charged for paying
Would Not Return
A group of five visited late afternoon for a special occasion celebration. We were seated rather cramped in a cold draughty area from the entrance door opening/closing. I approached a staff member who offered an alternative table at the back of the r
Disappointing birthday experience
Its a beautiful restaurant but the service is lacking and food mediocre. We were also disappointed because it was my husbands birthday and I got asked twice in the booking process if there was a special occasion and I said yes, and yet there was no
Italian classic
Excellent Italian food with good and fast serving. Place is really beautiful and you feel comfort, even when the place are full. I recommend reserve table before you go.
Delicious Food & Great Atmosphere
Had a lovely meal at Círculo Popolare! The carbonara was rich and perfectly cooked, the Donatella salad fresh and flavorful, and the steak was tender and delicious. Warm, lively atmosphere and friendly service made it even better. Definitely worth a
Restaurant for the teens on Social Media
I get the hype around this restaurant — the photos from our visit would look great on our teenager’s Instagram/tiktok. However, I expected better food for the price we paid. We shared a starter with ham and focaccia, followed by a salad, two diff
Bang average and style over substance.
Have seen so many reviews and videos on social media thought I’d give this a go with my mum. Booked a table and arrived a few minutes early then had to wait to be seated with no space for my mum to sit herself down. Staff member did tables either
Overpriced and underwhelming
The food was pedestrian. The arrabiata tasted of astringent chilli, the pizza dancing queen was cold, the ragu pappardelle was over salted and the truffle pasta was sickly. The salad was limp. This was some of the worst Italian food I have eaten. We
Circolo Popolare is hands down one of the most beautiful
Circolo Popolare is hands down one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever stepped into. The décor is breathtaking - walls lined with endless bottles, warm lighting, and a vibrant, buzzing atmosphere that instantly makes the experience feel
A must visit
Absolutely fantastic! Food, service, friendly staff, attentive staff, could not fault a thing! Beautiful decor, the whole experience was perfect.
Must see and try!
This is one of the very best Italian restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining at. Wonderful atmosphere, amazingly authentic decor, very helpful and pleasant waiter and servers, and absolutely delectable food!
Hidden gem with good food!
Good food, friendly service and a really cool vibe. Don’t miss their famous carbonara dish. From the outside, it looks unsuspecting, inside it’s a treasure.
the burrata with pesto was sooo fresh and we started off
the burrata with pesto was sooo fresh and we started off strong. the ambiance is beautiful (but quite busy/ packed -- which makes sense for a viral establishment). the truffle pasta was yummy (wish it was cheesier lol) and the carbonara pasta had a g
At first glance you'll be impressed by the very cool decor
At first glance you'll be impressed by the very cool decor with vaulted ceilings, tall rows of shelving bursting with spirit bottles and the intricately woven vines. There is a very homey ambiance here, strong Mediterranean influence in the boot
WOW
Once you find it and we walked pasted twice you are transported to the Amalfi coast and the ambulance is just amazing. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Food was good with big portions, service and drink were the same. Plenty to look at
Overhyped
Definitely a place overhyped by social media. Although the decor of the restaurant was beautiful and the focaccia starter was great, the pasta (the pappardelle al ragu, and the crab tagliarini) was served stuck together in one stodgy lump - it did no
Worst dinner experience in many many years so i DO NOT RECOMMEND this place
This was the worst restaurant experience in many many years. Cant actually think about where it was worst.. A super stressed waiter who complaint all the time, could not explain anything else then how terrible and stressful the work was in this resta
Great Fun Restaurant
Came here to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday and had a fantastic time. The décor was amazing (very Instagrammable) matched with fantastic Italian food. Worth booking in advance. We visited on a Monday, the restaurant was packed. Highly
Group booking was so worth it
Such an incredible, warm vibe and the group set menu is just wow, wow. Delicious! All of the staff made the group feel so well looked after.
Fantastic decor and lively atmosphere
Circolo Popolare is a real feast for the eyes with its incredible bottle-lined walls and hanging greenery. The food is generous, indulgent and very Italian, and service holds up well even when it’s packed. Family-friendly enough, but really better

Do yourself a favor and come to this location just north of the fun Soho neighborhood of London. I read from another reviewer to request to sit in the front dining room and it was very beautiful. I will say however that I took a peek into the back di

This might be one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to. It feels tucked away and so intimidate and then you walk in and it's this massive space decorated PERFECTLY. And on top of that, the food was amazing and the service w
We loved our dinner here.
Reservations made 3 weeks in advance. Gave the feel of Southern Italy. Fun cocktails. We enjoyed the truffle pasta, crab pasta, meatballs, and pizza margherita. Everyone was seated practically at once so it took awhile to get service but our server

So I had earmarked this place last summer when were in London, and didn't get to it, so made sure to make it there this year. The only reason I'm giving it a four is just that my initial impression was a bit off. The rest of our party arriv

It's not fair for me to rate on food or service because the decor of the room was so dizzying, I got up and left. If you are sensitive to lights or glare, this is not the place for you. If I stayed, I might have had a seizure. Sorry to say.
Mario and Sheneika were absolutely amazing- helping us
Mario and Sheneika were absolutely amazing- helping us through the whole process of ordering :) Amazing food, beautiful setting and great vibes would 100% come again!!
A remarkable restaurant
Honestly this was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. From the lady at reception to the wait staff to the food, it was flawless. The food is phenomenal. Can not wait to go back
Mums 50th birthday was amazing
We went here for my mums 50th celebration and had the set menu. Our waiter Andre was amazing from start to finish. He changed some dishes due to dietary requirements and constantly checked back to ensure we were having a good time. I genuinely couldn
Way over-hyped restaurant! We did not have reservations but
Way over-hyped restaurant! We did not have reservations but our party of 2 got in, seated in the patio on a Saturday evening. Took waiter more than 10 minutes to even acknowledge us. We ordered the Mafaldine A Ragu pasta and the Linguine w crabmeat &
Wonderful Dinner Experience!
We enjoyed a great pre-theater dinner at this restaurant. Our reservations were quite early, but the place was already busy so be sure to book in advance. We were seated in the back dining room but would recommend requesting the front dining space if
Low quality pasta .
Pasta plates are small. Place is nice, especially at the Terrace
Classic italian food and wine
The staff/manager are all amazing. Came in for my fiances birthday last night and they were so polite, attentive and went the extra mile every single time, this is a 10/10 and one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London." Don’t liste
Gorgeous Restaurant
A very busy lovely restaurant full of atmosphere. Love the setting - absolutely gorgeous. Food was mostly good although the Al dente pastas were a little too Al dente. I’d call it undercooked. Fun menu, quick service. Lively but not too loud.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Circolo Popolare London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Circolo Popolare London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Circolo Popolare London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Circolo Popolare London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
