About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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!

    I had an amazing meal at Forty Dean Street! Could not recommend more. Food is well priced and some of the dishes are worth the extra money. Buzzy atmosphere, perfect for my mum's birthday. Definitely book as many people had to be turned away due to it being super busy.

    My favourite Italian food in the UK! It’s always busy and sometimes the service suffers a bit for it but the food is outstanding.
