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!

    Great food and service. Rather expensive for Italian food of prawns and mushroom starters and 2 plates of pasta with 1 side dish each.

    Lovely restaurant, food and wine good. Could improve on comfort of seating and £6 for a bottle of water is disappointing. Good location.
