Circolo Popolare London Reviews
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 Cรญrculo 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 โ the photos from our visit would look great on our teenagerโs 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 Iโd 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 restaurants I've ever stepped into. The dรฉcor 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 Iโve 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. Donโt miss their famous carbonara dish. From the outside, it looks unsuspecting, inside itโs a treasure.

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 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 dรฉcor 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 itโs 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 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
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

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. Iโd call it undercooked. Fun menu, quick service. Lively but not too loud.
Great atmosphere. Food just ok
Great lively atmosphere when we arrived and the restaurant looks fantastic. Service was decent. Food wasn't wow. Starters just ok. My wife had a pasta dish. The bowl was cold so the pasta quickly went cold where it touched the bowl. Taste was OK. I j
Fantastic restaurant for a special occasion
Visited this beautiful restaurant in heart of London as recommended by a family friend. It did not disappoint. Great food, great service and with a great ambiance. Fantastic decor.
Pretty restaurant, not great for gluten free.
This is a pretty restaurant. Staff were helpful. The menu choice for gluten free was pretty poor, I ended up with several starters instead , which were v nice. I appreciate it's an Italian restaurant but even the non pasta/ pizza options had breadc
Wonderful atmosphere and delicious dishes.
We had truffled pasta, salad, pizza, burrata. Our service was exemplary.
Fabulous restaurant with great ambiance
This is truly one of the best places Iโve been to in years. You donโt have to spend a fortune either. Wine was reasonably priced too. Itโs a beautiful room and the food is just fab. Our young Italian guest declared the mafaldine al tartufo to b

A truly disappointing experience
I invited 2 guests to say thank you for looking after me when I was ill. It was to be a special treat. The restaurant was their choice; I did not check the reviwes. I booked well in advance - some 2-3 weeks. The decor was encouraging, we were put in
Dissapointing
Have tried several times to book and finally managed to get a table. The restaurant ambiance is nice and the service was good but thatโs about it. We shared a couple of startersโฆcalamari was cold, rubbery and small portion. We went for the carbon
Rip off
Very pushy service. It started when we were asked for water and the waitress had already the water bottle in her hand opening it while asking, so I felt it was pushed on me and didnt even have the choice to ask for tap water. We ordered two carbonara
Fun place, good vibe but mediocre food
Was excited to try this popular restaurant, itโs always booked up and looks great. The atmosphere inside has a nice buzz and the decorations are awesome. However the food was all pretty mediocre on taste, we ordered 3 different starters and 3 diffe
last minute booking made a great lunch choice
Just visited today. Tried to book online but no slots for desired time. Thought I'd try and walk in and again no slots, however, the friendly hostess suggested coming back at 3pm again to ask. As it was over 2 hours away thought Id try somewhere else
Connect with users posting reservations for Circolo Popolare London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Circolo Popolare London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
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
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
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
* FamousStation67, 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.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 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 FamousStation67 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, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67'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.
