Best Restaurants for Groups in Bloomsbury

We arrived before opening and they welcomed us in anyway. Super friendly staff, lovely restaurant and overall a great experience

Everything about the service was perfect. The only let down was the food - I ordered the Mauve aubergine, smoked coconut yoghurt, fragrant sticky rice. The sticky rice was cooked to perfection but the mauve aubergine with the smoked coconut yogurt wasn’t that great. I’ve had better meals at the restaurant. Aside from that the staffs are amazing and friendly. I will still return and try another meal.

Our 1st visit. The 3 of us greeted warmly, made to feel very welcome. Ambience very relaxing, a light, airy interior. Service was consistently friendly and discreetly attentive. We had a mix of Mediterranean and Japanese dishes. Outstanding were the beef tataki tender, mouth-watering, escargot, balls of astonishing deliciousness, the crab bucatini, flavoursome and generous. Loved the dj playing as we rounded off our dining. We aim to test out all the menu eventually !

We have eaten at Pentole & Padelle twice this week and are over the moon. We came with a large party (9-10 ppl) and found it by accident as we made a random reservation day-of; it was the perfect place to escape the crazy Christmas crowds on the nearby busy streets. We were immediately welcomed in and were impressed with the hospitality and the ambience. It is lovely inside, warm and welcoming, casual but very nice. The decor is lovely and is very festive for the holiday season. We’ve done both the regular menu and the prix fixe menu and have loved everything: for appetizers the croquettes, the artichoke soup, the bruschetta is out of this world. For entrees we’ve had spaghetti, carbonara, lasagna, linguini with prawns, and everything has been phenomenal. Fresh, homemade, pure ingredients. The desserts (panna cotta, Tirimisu, assorted sherbets) are among the best we’ve ever had. Price ranged but was less than £30 each. We also recommend the limoncello spritz! We cannot recommend Pentole & Padelle enough. We’ll be coming back as soon as we make it back to London!

Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from
