Fatto a Mano serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, sides and more. We use fresh ingredients in a warm, friendly environment. Our dough is made fresh daily and proved slowly, meaning we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast and our pizzas are light. Our commitment is to quality, we use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas.We use independent producers as long term partners, including Fior Di Latte Mozzarella sourced from Caserta, and wines imported directly from private Italian growers. The pizzeria menu features classics such as margherita, salsiccia e friarielli, and diavola, whilst also featuring modern additions including lasagna pizza, homemade arancini, our own vegan ‘nduja pizza and scugnizielli dessert.Our Neapolitan pizzeria is in the middle of Covent Garden’s buzzy theatre-district. We’re a few doors down from the English National Opera, with a view of Trafalgar Square on our doorstep.

    The restaurant was a little hard to find but all perfect once we did. Warm welcome and friendly staff. Our starters and mains were delicious and Leela who looked after us was fantastic. Thanks so much for taking note of my booking message as well and the nice Birthday surprise for my partner. Would definitely visit again, can't wait to try more of the menu!

    Service was impeccable. Fried Haddock was perfectly crisped but the mushy peas underneath it were our favorite part of our dinner. Wonderful cocktails, too!

    A group of 11, we ordered of the late lunch/pre theatre menu. The portion size of starters and mains were generous, the food was fresh and delicious and the slush cocktails were amazing. Was excellent value for money. Service was a little slow at the bar when we arrived but overall the service was good. Would recommend

    Having wanted to dine at The Ivy since I was 20 and now late 50's it was one of my favourite experiences in London with my children. It did not disappoint. The service was superb, the waiter quickly realised my son has special needs and reacted accordingly, without judgement or prejudice, which was a refreshing change from other London venues we have been to. The food was the best I have had in years. Thank you!

    I’ve now been to this restaurant several times and as always the food is super tasty. As soon as you walk in the smell is so flavorsome. My only disappointment is the much smaller portion of the honey chicken and we found it very loud in the restaurant. This was probably due to being in the middle of the room rather than being in a side booth. In saying that I will still visit again .
