Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Il Vicolo is where Italian dreams go to have their pasta! With a hygiene rating that’s as squeaky clean as your nonna’s kitchen, and a Google score that suggests locals are in love, this charming spot in St James is a safe bet for a meal. Bianca and her team deliver impeccable service while you relish dishes like veal meatballs and creamy shrimp farfalle. Add in a fantastic wine list, and you’ve got yourself a cozy night out that won’t break the bank.
But fair warning, if you find yourself in a hurry, Il Vicolo might make you wait. One diner mentioned a rather long delay for their pasta, and let’s just say the staff weren’t exactly apologetic about it. Still, the delicious food and inviting atmosphere make it a solid choice for anyone looking to experience a taste of Italy without needing a passport.
"Excellent service (thank you Bianca), nice atmosphere, delicious dishes."
"Tasty Lentil and prawn starters, veal, meatballs, farfalle and creamy shrimp sauce."
"The wine list is fantastic, and the two owners are incredibly helpful."
