    They treated us like family which is what a great Italian restaurant starts. The menu is large and diverse, the traditional with some interesting twist options. The value especially for London was strong.

    Hi We have been going to this restaurant for many years. Yesterday, the experience was extremely disappointing. We waited nearly an hour for our main courses, and despite several requests to speed things up, the team still failed to deliver. Reluctantly, we left the restaurant disappointed, angry, and hungry. No meaningful apology or gesture of goodwill was on offer.. What a shame.

FAQs

Portions at Demartino are generous, guests often describe dishes as generously portioned or even "massive, " and many say they leave comfortably full.

Yes, Demartino is very family‑friendly: reviewers say children enjoyed the food, staff (notably Claudio) make families feel at home, and infants have been comfortably accommodated.

Demartino feels warm and homely, a family‑run New York‑style Italian with welcoming staff and a convivial, sometimes bustling energy; a small downstairs room can be a quieter option.

Casual dress is the guide, light, comfortable clothing is entirely appropriate and nothing formal is expected.
