    The reviews were spot on and we were glad we chose Azzurro’s. Service was excellent and friendly. Food was flavorful, fresh and well-prepared. Prices were decent compared to other restaurants in similar geographic area. Lemon sorbet was tart and refreshing after the heatwave. Vibe was casual, but hip with options to sit outside or inside with decent air conditioning. We liked the brick walls as it felt like a break from the busy, tourist-y area. Would 100% go there again.

    A special thank you to Neyara who I found out she was from Belize, and she was just so lovely! She was very welcoming and friendly, and really made my 30th birthday celebration a memorable one with a tiramisu cake and Limoncello! You don’t get service like that in London anymore, and honestly will come back again because of her warmth! Food and drinks were also incredible, and the ambience was fantastic. Will come back again!
