Forty Dean Street is the pinnacle of affordable Italian cuisine in busy Soho. We are a small, family run restaurant dedicated to providing incredible food at incredible prices. Our set menu boasts a variety of sensational dishes built around fresh, seasonal produce and has customers coming back on a daily basis. Our à la carte menu is a favourite with our regulars, the media crowd and tourists alike.
Italian food has been served at Forty Dean Street for more than 17 years, so we like to think there’s nothing we haven’t mastered. So pop in for an Aperol Spritz!

    Lovely food. Great location and we had a great table. However, Limited time allowed I.e 2 hours despite buying champagne and lots of food. We should not be asked to leave as long as we spend!

    This was my second visit to 40 Dean Street for a pre theatre lunch. It is a small family run Italian restaurant and the perfect location for the several theatres nearby. My friend and I both had a delicious veggie risotto and a drink. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and it is best to make a reservation in advance. The prices are similar to other Italian restaurants which are part of a chain. Nice to support independent establishments. I hope very much to return in the near future.

    The food and place were good, they were a bit pushy about the time allotted to the extent that they made us feel uncomfortable at times

    loved my experience here - food amazing, perfect portion sizes, enough room left for dessert, great drinks, service so so lovely (a drink got dropped at the table next to us, all was handled really kindly and professionally) would definitely recommend and would love to come back!
