Italian Lunch in London
Handmade pasta in the heart of Soho
Finding a good lunch spot in London is harder than finding a good dinner spot. Too often it's a choice between a sad desk sandwich or a chain restaurant that looks the same in every city - 64 Old Compton Street is neither. We're a family-run Italian restaurant on one of Soho's most famous streets, and the pasta is made fresh in our kitchen every single day. If you're looking for an Italian lunch in London that tastes authentic, this is where to find it.
Handmade Pasta, Made Daily
Our chefs make the pasta by hand each morning, and you can really taste the difference from the first bite. Pappardelle, spaghetti, linguine, gnocchi, ravioli. It's all crafted in our kitchen using traditional techniques, and served with sauces that have been perfected over time.
The menu also includes pizzas with buffalo mozzarella, truffle dishes for those who love them, and a selection of starters to share. There's plenty for vegetarians, and we can cater to dietary requirements if you let us know when you book.
Where to Have Lunch in London
Old Compton Street has been at the centre of Soho life for decades, and it's one of the best places in London to stop for lunch. The street has energy, character, and a mix of people that you won't find anywhere else. 64 Old Compton Street sits right in the middle of it all, with big windows that let the life of the neighbourhood in.
Whether you're meeting a friend, catching up with colleagues, or treating someone you love, the atmosphere puts people at ease. It's lively without being too loud, and the team knows how to look after guests to ensure you have a great experience.
Easy to Find
We're a short walk from Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, and Tottenham Court Road, which makes us easy to reach from most parts of central London. The restaurant opens at midday and serves lunch through the afternoon. If you're combining lunch with a theatre show, shopping, or exploring Soho, we're right where you need to be.
Dogs are welcome too.
