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!

    Definitely a lovely small restaurant with homemade pasta. Service was wonderful, no wait time issues for our reservations. Tomato, onion & basil salad delicious but brought out with our dinner rather than before…I had the parpadelle with beef ragu, wish it had a bit more flavor was a bit bland but pasta delicious. He had the chicken Milanese and was very good. The salted caramel cheesecake with pistachio ice cream was out of this world!

    Cosy Italian restaurant that was very busy for Mother’s Day and the team were very efficient and friendly despite that. The food was top notch all round, large portions and authentic. The affogato dessert was amazing with the dash of amaretto making it special. We fell for the still water for £6 which was a bit disappointing but overall the prices were reasonable. I would recommend and hope to revisit
