Circolo Popolare London Reviews
A remarkable restaurant
Honestly this was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. From the lady at reception to the wait staff to the food, it was flawless. The food is phenomenal. Can not wait to go back
Mums 50th birthday was amazing
We went here for my mums 50th celebration and had the set menu. Our waiter Andre was amazing from start to finish. He changed some dishes due to dietary requirements and constantly checked back to ensure we were having a good time. I genuinely couldn’t fault the experience and can’t thank Andre and the rest of the team enough for their help. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere stunning. I will definitely be back ! My mum had the best birthday and the team made sure that she had the stress free and relaxed dinner that she deserves ♥️ Thanks again to the team at circolo popolare
Wonderful Dinner Experience!
We enjoyed a great pre-theater dinner at this restaurant. Our reservations were quite early, but the place was already busy so be sure to book in advance. We were seated in the back dining room but would recommend requesting the front dining space if it's an option because it is stunning. However, the back dining room did allow us to see a little bit into the kitchen, which helped us sneak peeks at many amazing dishes as they were being prepared. The food we had was really good. We started with the "Burrata Pappa al Pomodoro" and the "Prosciutto Credo e Malone". The prosciutto was fantastic and perfectly paired with the melon. We then had to order "La Gran Carbonara", the pasta dish they serve table side in a large cheese wheel. It was a good carbonara and was not as overwhelmingly large as it seemed when we ordered. The absolute best part of the meal was "Coppa Di Frutti Rossi" dessert (strawberries and raspberries with Chantilly cream) we ordered. It was possibly one of the best desserts we have ever had, and we are typically people who prefer chocolate over fruit when selecting desserts. It was outstanding. We also tried the "Profiterole al Cioccolato" (pastry with chocolate sauce, which was not bad but could not hold a candle to the other dessert. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend people make a stop here when in London!
Way over-hyped restaurant! We did not have reservations but
Way over-hyped restaurant! We did not have reservations but our party of 2 got in, seated in the patio on a Saturday evening. Took waiter more than 10 minutes to even acknowledge us. We ordered the Mafaldine A Ragu pasta and the Linguine w crabmeat & lemon butter. Delicious and rich but very little crabmeat. One of our drinks and bread never arrived, but was listed on our bill. We never saw the waiter again after he initially took our order. We had to wave down someone else. Automatic 13.5% Service Fee for No Service. Ambience was good but patio ambience was not as same as the indoor seating with all the greenery and lights. Can get way better service and food elsewhere.
Low quality pasta .
Pasta plates are small. Place is nice, especially at the Terrace
Classic italian food and wine
The staff/manager are all amazing. Came in for my fiances birthday last night and they were so polite, attentive and went the extra mile every single time, this is a 10/10 and one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London." Don’t listen to the clowns who don’t rate it
Gorgeous Restaurant
A very busy lovely restaurant full of atmosphere. Love the setting - absolutely gorgeous. Food was mostly good although the Al dente pastas were a little too Al dente. I’d call it undercooked. Fun menu, quick service. Lively but not too loud.
Fantastic restaurant for a special occasion
Visited this beautiful restaurant in heart of London as recommended by a family friend. It did not disappoint. Great food, great service and with a great ambiance. Fantastic decor.
Great atmosphere. Food just ok
Great lively atmosphere when we arrived and the restaurant looks fantastic. Service was decent. Food wasn't wow. Starters just ok. My wife had a pasta dish. The bowl was cold so the pasta quickly went cold where it touched the bowl. Taste was OK. I just had a margarita pizza which had far too much doughy crust around the edges and not enough cheese in the centre. I won't criticise too much as we probably all our own idea of what a pizza should be like. Glad I went but don't feel the need to go again
Pretty restaurant, not great for gluten free.
This is a pretty restaurant. Staff were helpful. The menu choice for gluten free was pretty poor, I ended up with several starters instead , which were v nice. I appreciate it's an Italian restaurant but even the non pasta/ pizza options had breadcrumbs or added wheat based food on the plate. We eat out fairly often, even Italian, where we live and I was v struck by the poor choice for gluten free. The other food eaten was reportedly v nice though.
Wonderful atmosphere and delicious dishes.
We had truffled pasta, salad, pizza, burrata. Our service was exemplary.
Fabulous restaurant with great ambiance
This is truly one of the best places I’ve been to in years. You don’t have to spend a fortune either. Wine was reasonably priced too. It’s a beautiful room and the food is just fab. Our young Italian guest declared the mafaldine al tartufo to be amazing and among the best pasta dishes he’d ever tasted. Massive lemon meringue pie was a big hit too - for taste and drama!
Outstanding Restaurant.
This restaurant is fantastic. The ambiance. The food, the service is all outstanding. Highly recommend reservations as it is very busy.
Saw an IG post about this restaurant, so I made
Saw an IG post about this restaurant, so I made reservations (ressies open 1 month in advance). The ambiance was great and the food, even better! Highly recommend going with friends so you can order multiple dishes to try. We were also celebrating a friend's birthday and the restaurant had a signed card when we checked in, and complimentary cheesecake + limoncello to celebrate.
We got the table side carbonara and it was delicious! Great
We got the table side carbonara and it was delicious! Great service and the ambiance was incredible. A must go if you're in London!
The space is truly stunning, evoking the essence of the
The space is truly stunning, evoking the essence of the Sicilian coast with its high wall arches adorned with hundreds of bottles and a ceiling draped with flowers and twinkling lights. Tables are tightly packed, each adorned with unique tableware and mismatched pillows, adding to the eclectic charm. While they offer a variety of fun cocktails, I opted for a virgin option, the Basil Instinct, to balance out the effects of the previous night's heavy drinking. Despite its vibrant green color and basil leaf garnish, I found it to be overly sweet. For starters, we sampled the Burrata Pappa Al Pomodoro and Focaccia Della Casa Alle Olive. The burrata made for a great shareable plate, and I found the pomodoro sauce to be uniquely flavorful. However, I was disappointed to find that the portion of focaccia consisted of only three pieces, and the lack of complimentary bread is essentially a crime to humanity. Moving on to the mains, we ordered the popular favorites: La Gran Carbonara, Mammargherita Di Bufala, and the Mafaldine Al Tartufo. The presentation of the carbonara, intended for two people, was theatrical, but I found the pancetta to be overly salty and the carbonara lacking in sauce. The truffle pasta, while rich and flavorful, became a bit heavy after a few bites. We did enjoy the pizza, particularly the light and airy crust. Overall, while the ambiance is undoubtedly the highlight of the experience, I found the food to be on the pricier side for what it was--a mid-range offering.
Great atmosphere for such a cute intimate Italian
Great atmosphere for such a cute intimate Italian restaurant. Everything we ordered was very fresh and delicious. My boyfriend being a picky eater really loved his dish. I ordered the ragu pasta to be safe and I thoroughly enjoyed every last bite. I ordered their focaccia bread and another appetizer that was just like mozzarella sticks - very fresh & tasty. The UK isn't necessarily known for their customer service, but everyone met us with kindness. I would recommend to anyone traveling in looking fle an authentic Italian taste!
I so wanted to love this place because the ambiance was
I so wanted to love this place because the ambiance was beautiful. It is a gorgeous place! Make a reservation! It's packed and the energy is great! Took 13 minutes for a server to greet our table. The jack stand was left behind me from serving 2 close by tables. It was left in the middle of the aisle. I finally pushed it away from me so no staff could walk by with out it being in the way. Someone finally removed it. This is a very cool touristy place so don't go in expecting 5 star food. Wont comment on food because I'm hoping it was an unlucky day to receive poor service and luke warm pasta. Place was hoping! Energy was incredibly fun! Go for the experience. Do not be upset if food or service is not what expected.
A truly disappointing experience
I invited 2 guests to say thank you for looking after me when I was ill. It was to be a special treat. The restaurant was their choice; I did not check the reviwes. I booked well in advance - some 2-3 weeks. The decor was encouraging, we were put in the back room but that didn't matter; the problem was the tables were very close to each other and the place too noisy to make a conversation. The food was less than mediocre, the waiters wanted to get on with serving and removed plates at random, actually to get attention from a waiter we had to rise and go and look for one. Far to much hurry to get in a second sitting. Prices were silly, including an extra charge for milk for a cup of tea. I was asked for feedback and gave it; I was offered appologies and a replacement meal. Having tried to book it twice I had no reply. The place is a gimmick, I eat out a lot, I havent had such a disappointing experience in years.
Dissapointing
Have tried several times to book and finally managed to get a table. The restaurant ambiance is nice and the service was good but that’s about it. We shared a couple of starters…calamari was cold, rubbery and small portion. We went for the carbonara for the main. This is cooked in the kitchen and served from a cheese at the table…it was cold, gloopy and stuck together. The staff were helpful to resolve things but took the shine off the experience. Food was very disappointing and an expensive lunch. A real shame. Wouldn’t go again.
Rip off
Very pushy service. It started when we were asked for water and the waitress had already the water bottle in her hand opening it while asking, so I felt it was pushed on me and didnt even have the choice to ask for tap water. We ordered two carbonara and two glasses of wine, the waitress didnt ask which size so I assumed small. When the bill came I was very surprised when she said I got medium glasses (large price difference). My carbonara was more like a soup and the sauce wasnt properly cooked. You can pay the bill via QR code but be aware they charge you extra £1.30 for this „service“, I asked to pay by card. Lastly, when I asked the waitress why the service charge is 13.25% when it‘s usually 12.5%, she replied that from Jan 2024 Westminster Council increased the rates and she only gets £2 of this……. (I‘m sure we all are aware that westminster council is not telling restaurants what they want to charge for their service.) All in all will not come back and not recommend this place.
Fun place, good vibe but mediocre food
Was excited to try this popular restaurant, it’s always booked up and looks great. The atmosphere inside has a nice buzz and the decorations are awesome. However the food was all pretty mediocre on taste, we ordered 3 different starters and 3 different mains, oh and a couple of desserts too. Only the truffle pasta stood out. Can’t give any more than three stars because ultimately the food has to be the star of the show.
last minute booking made a great lunch choice
Just visited today. Tried to book online but no slots for desired time. Thought I'd try and walk in and again no slots, however, the friendly hostess suggested coming back at 3pm again to ask. As it was over 2 hours away thought Id try somewhere else but nothing too my fancy. After some drinks at the Charlotte Street hotel (pricey) I tried my luck again and was kindly given a place for 2. Our lovely server Alessia was very efficient and knowledgable. We were served quickly and the food choices we had were delicious and filling (2 starters and 2 mains) Lovely atmosphere (great playlist) and warm and friendly staff. Really enjoyed talking to Lorenzo who again was so efficient and gave us advice on the new additions to the chain-Jacuzzi and Carlotta. An afternoon well spent, I can't wait to go back and try different menu options as well as checking our Lorenzos suggestions,
Good food, good decoration of the place. They add the tip without asking the customer.
Good food, better decoration of the place. We didn't like the detail they had of adding the tip without asking the customer. We asked that it be taken away from us, since we consider that 14% is abusive. The waiters only brought the food and drinks, the order and payment was made through the mobile application. They were not at all attentive and the service could be greatly improved. The employees are paid by the owners of the premises and not by the customers. It is worth going to this restaurant except for the detail of the tip that we do not see as fair and that is the reason why I lowered the score on TripAdvisor.
Great place
Great place that gets busy. We managed to turn up and get a table but if going again we would book ahead. Atmospheric place with an interesting menu and quality wines that are not over priced. Great service, friendly staff and not over priced for what we got.
Watch out for big service charge, + more charges for using the app, tap water and an additional tip...
6 of us went. The food was just OK. We shared a couple of starters of Focaccia which was fine, but choice of food was very limited. I didn't fancy pizza as you always get too much and the pasta dishes didn't sound very exciting so I had the cuttlefish as a main as there was no seafood risotto, which is usually my go-to meal at Italian restaurants. I had never eaten cuttlefish before and when I ordered it our waiter warned me that it was quite chewy! But I went with it anyway and it WAS a bit chewy, but it was very nice with just potatoes and rocket. Not a lot, but fine for me. The rest of our party had pasta and pizza dishes. I reckon I got the best meal, especially when I saw the sharing platter - for 2 - of carbonara. £36 for two - and not much of it... But there you go. I had the tiramisu for dessert and that was delicious. Service was good, and I appreciated the waiter's advice on my cuttlefish, so I would have given a 'very good' grade, but when we paid, we used the QR code - to save the staff doing it I guess - so I wasn't very happy when I noticed that the TAP WATER cost a pound (that's never happened before), together with a service charge of 13.5%. But continuing to payment, we then got a 'checkout fee' for £2.69 on top - for using the App. What's THAT for? We are saving the staff doing it!. By that time we were ready to go so didn't want to start again, so accepted that, but THEN i noticed the bill had gone up ANOTHER £6 - for another tip I think... There were little boxes and the £6 one was selected! With this one. you had the option to tab to zero, so I got out of that one at least. But having to pay 13.5% + £1 for tap water + £2.69 for using a QR Code + trying to take an additional tip is a cheek as far as I am concerned. So, average for me. It was a nice place with a great atmosphere but I certainly wouldn't go again if I had my choice. I don't mind paying a wodge for average food in London, but don't like to walk out of a restaurant feeling short-changed.
Dessert. Capital of London. Secret.
This is THE place for dessert in London. They LOVE having guests just coming for dessert. It’s a huge secret. Go tiramisu
A Sweet Haven: London's Premier Dessert Dining Experience
This is the best dessert-only restaurant I've ever visited. It's rare to find a place in London that welcomes you to enjoy just desserts. We decided to try our luck tonight and were not disappointed. The staff provided excellent service and made sure we were well taken care of. I highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.
Amazing place to just enjoy life!!!
“4.5 circles” if that was available as I only had one “suggestion” (which may be irrelevant to some). Overall, what a gem of a place to dine, savor, laugh, live and just be. We ordered the beef carpaccio, drama pizza, Ragu pasta and the lemon cake (of course!). All items were tasty and not over or under salted (as some reviews had stated). Pasta was al dente, pizza dough fresh and all flavors juxtaposed perfectly (esp the Ragu!). Kyle (who was “just” our food runner) was the absolute best! Please, please, please allow him to flourish and be a server (or whatever he wants to be). No doubt he will bring 10000% to the establishment. Alexandra was also a delight. She went above and beyond in helping us choose our dishes. As a hospitality employer, cloning 100 of Kyle and Alexandras would make any restaurant a success. The only suggestion I have is to have a staff member available to assist with wine selections. With such a vast selection to choose from, a person is needed to answer more technical questions. I selected what I thought was an “upgraded” Valpolicella and didn’t enjoy the wine. Technically, it wasn’t corked/bad so I just consumed it. It would have been unfair to send it back. Had someone been on hand to suggest something more in my taste, perhaps the Tignanello would have won that evening. But again; minor detail in what was truly a delightful evening!!!!
Pizza from the Big Mamma Group continues to hold the record
Pizza from the Big Mamma Group continues to hold the record of the best I've ever had. The flavors are fresh and the dough is fantastic. The ambiance of Circolo Popolare creates a fun and unique experience. We tried the Carbonara for the first time, and revisited the popular Mafaldine al Tartufo. I would recommend either (or both)!
Awful restaurant.
Nobody offered to take our coats, the tables are so close together like a pig breeding factory farm. You can hear every word the people next to you are saying. It's a mission to get in the seat without bumping things or people. Table is also very small, boring menu, boring food. This place is marketed as something high end but is basically an over priced Bella italia with worse food. The bathrooms are dark and dingy, very small as well, can't even check your makeup in there. Will not return to this place.
Absolutely breathtaking ambiance.
I have been waiting to come here for what seems like forever. So happy we got to go! The food was divine. They ran out of a few things and I wanted carbonara, but the seafood pasta didn't disappoint. The drinks were great. The atmosphere really just takes the cake though.
Circolo Popolare, nestled in the heart of London, is an
Circolo Popolare, nestled in the heart of London, is an Italian dining haven that seamlessly blends aesthetics, flavors, and a dash of spectacle. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by the enchanting sight of thousands of bottles adorning the walls, setting the stage for a culinary experience like no other. The interior of Circolo Popolare is a visual feast, with every corner thoughtfully designed to captivate the senses. The charming atmosphere creates a perfect backdrop for an Italian culinary journey, and the attention to detail is evident in every facet of the decor. Our culinary adventure began with a delightful selection of mozzarella and olives, a perfect prelude to the flavors that awaited us. The mozzarella was fresh and creamy, while the olives provided a savory kick, setting a high standard for the courses to come. The pasta dishes, the heart and soul of any Italian restaurant, truly shone at Circolo Popolare. Opting for the one where they prepare the pasta in a giant cheese wheel in front of you was a decision that elevated the dining experience. The theater of the process added a touch of excitement, and the resulting dish was a symphony of flavors. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the cheese coating each strand was a decadent addition that left us craving for more. What sets Circolo Popolare apart is not just the exceptional food but the overall experience. The attentive and knowledgeable staff further enhances the dining journey, providing recommendations and insights that add a personal touch to the visit. In summary, Circolo Popolare is a gem in the London culinary scene. The combination of a visually stunning ambiance, delectable dishes, and a touch of culinary theatrics makes it a standout destination for Italian cuisine enthusiasts. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend it, as it offers an immersive and unforgettable Italian dining experience. Bravo!
Made reservations at this restaurant based upon TikTok
Made reservations at this restaurant based upon TikTok reviews. Beautifully decorated during the holidays and lively atmosphere. Pizza was on point! Highly recommend and great restaurant for larger groups.
The most immaculate, food experience I have had yet to date.
I found insane recommendations along Instagram and TikTok for this place, but was unable to make a reservation, two months in advance as recommended. I decided to stop by right when they opened in hopes of grabbing a table, and I was successful! I only had to wait about five minutes and was able to be seated and served immediately . Server made lots of recommendations and I ultimately ended up going with the crab pasta which was so simple yet complex I don't think I've still been able to completely process it. The vibes in this place is amazing. I recommend going with the large groups that you can try multiple things and share as I went by myself And did not want to waste such a large amount of food.
Top stars for ambiance a service! Can only say for what
Top stars for ambiance a service! Can only say for what we ordered for the carbonara, that you have to order in pairs of two. The cheese wheel is impressive, but not as chessy as I'd hoped. The portion was just right, as we had the carbonara and a shared salad. Be sure to get a reservation online as they can be difficult to book weeks in advance! It's also easy to divide a check through their QR code provided on your table. Overall, great place to dine in at night, with amazing decor and great ambiance and impeccable service and with pretty good food. A bit overhyped for carbonara, but overall, it was a great time. Also, on the pricer side so I'd really be back if someone I was traveling with wanted to try this place.
Such a cute aesthetic here! Loved the vibes and ambiance,
Such a cute aesthetic here! Loved the vibes and ambiance, food was yummy but some of the portions were small. Service was great. Def worth the hype
Incredibly captivating decor.
Service was quick and friendly. The menu was extensive and my daughter and I found it difficult to settle on a few tasty items. We would definitely go back.
I really liked this spot.
The truffle pasta was pretty good and the pizza that has pepperoni and sausage was nice and flavorful. Everyone also really liked the crust on it. I wish the pizza came cut though. Make a reservation for this place. We went on a Monday night and it was packed!
Living off its reputation
Overhyped, nice venue but poor food Went there for a celebratory meal with my partner. Tables are crammed in very close together so you feel like you’re sharing a table with strangers. Service patchy and no real interaction with the waiters, yet they still expect service AND there is an extra charge to pay by app, as they don’t bring bills to tables. The decor is nice and I would let them get away with it if the food was good. But it’s not - I had a decidedly average pizza that was let down by being very soggy. Partner had a truffle pasta which was more oily than tasty. Shame as I’d wanted to try it for a while. Won’t be going back!
Over Sold and Under Delivered
We went for a birthday meal and was very disappointing and underwhelming. We arrived and was seated in the middle of a row which was very cramped and couldn’t get into the seat without knocking the table next to us, we couldn’t hear eachother as the people next to us were that close. It felt as though we were a cattle, with the idea of getting as many people in and out as possible which is a shame for what’s we thought to be a quality London restaurant. The waitress then brought us over what she said was still water but tasted like gone off flat sparkling water. When we came to order they didn’t have either food or cocktail I was hoping to have so have to have something different. When the food came the portion size was so small we came out hungry, and there was such minimal sauce and meat on the plate you’re literally eating pasta in oil. We wanted to leave asap, very disappointing and a waste of money. Won’t be going back again.
Amazing decor and great food
Came here for a pre theatre meal and the decor could not be faulted. The tables are quite close together but the busy atmosphere made this feel normal. The food was delicious and it was a good experience.
Good food, poor service.
Cool venue and good food. The service did not meet the expectations. Aperitif and mains were served simultaneously. The restaurant has a pay online solution with an additional fee. We had to insist to pay by card, which the waitor clearly was reluctant to allow, and she made us wait another 15 minutes before we could leave. In my opinion it is not worthy of its instagram fame, but I didn't regret going either.
Trip to Sicily
The iconic glamorous italian cuisine “Big Mamma” restaurant group took the Eurotunnel from Paris and reached London first with the retro flamboyant “Gloria” in Shoreditch and then recently with “Circolo Popolare” in Fitzrovia, on the newly built Rathbone Square. Circolo Popolare is a fresh 280 seats Sicilian trattoria opulently decorated with plants dangling from the ceiling and creeping around the shrubbery-laden terrace outside. You’ll be amazed by the walls lined with 20.000+ spirits bottles and religious knick-knacks. Mind the cheeky view between the gents’ and ladies’ loos and enjoy the 50s-60s retro songs. Went there with family and did reserve about a month before. Took a bread basket (Sourdough from Bread Bread, Sardinian pane carasau, crunchy grissini; 2.5£), Prosciutto di Parma 24 mesi (24 month seasoned Parma ham; 10£), Piatto di Prodotti (Crunchy grissini with Prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella di bufala and mixed olives; 15£), Mafaldine Al Tartufo (House special fresh mafalda, black Molise truffle, indulgent truffle and mascarpone cream; 19.5£), Mammargherita di Bufala (San Marzano tomato, mozzarella di bufala, Parmigiano and fresh basil; 13.5£), The One & Tortelloni (Home-made cheesy tortelloni stuffed with a creamy stracciatella and ricotta heart, in a beautiful fresh tomato scarpariello sauce; 17.5£), Pint Lager Beer (Easy Italian style lager (4%); 6£) and a Coca Cola (200 ml; 4£).
Great Italian food and atmosphere!
Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Not suprising that it takes two weeks reservation in advance. Stunning decor and great vibes. Great choice of Italian dishes, including good choice for vegetarians. Seems like very popular among locals, we were witneses of very happy surprising marriage prooposal:) So don't hesitate, just book a table and enjoy a lot!
Pretty to look at but a terrible personality
We were dying to come to this place, but couldn't get a reservation, so jumped at the chance the day before when one popped up. What a mistake. First, the restaurant is as pretty as it looks in the pics, but that's all they have to offer. The hostess was rude and dismissive. Our waiter was incompetent - asked him for water 4 times until we had to ask another waitress, he got our drink orders wrong, he didn't cut our pizza which the other waitress had to do when a manager saw us doing it ourselves. He never came back to ask how everything was, for another drink or a dessert order. If that wasn't bad enough, the arancini was over-fried, the endive salad was soggy and drenched in dressing, the pizza was mediocre and the signature pasta tossed inside a cheese wheel was comparable to something one might get at an olive garden. I don't understand any good reviews for this place.
Awful service, average experience
So, for a place with an excellent reputation, this was a particularly average experience. Too busy for staff to serve the table (too busy taking photos for Instagram accounters), and whilst the food was quick, it wasn't anything to make a return desirable. When we were asked to leave (but not provided a bill) because apparently WE took too long, we were asked to pay using the app, which charged us even more! Be careful, it's reputation that drives people here - not quality.
Amazing place and lovely staff
I love this place! every time I am coming even more, food is really good, decoration is crazy beautiful but what I like the most is how nice the staff is, specially Angeles and Luiz :)
I found this place on Instagram.
Bookmarked it and visited on our London vacation. According to their website, many people book over a month in advance. Got very lucky with my partner and we got a walk in table for two. Place is gorgeous! Bottles of all shapes and sizes lined up on all the walls. It was jam packed!Drinks were simple yet very good and refreshing. We shared the empanadas and arancini to start. My husband had the Mafaldine al Tartufo and I the Girella al Formaggio. So good! Would give this place a second try.
Birthday Treat!
Recently visited Circolo Popolare, was initially concerned with some of the negative feedback on TripAdvisor especially around the service. I would like to state, this restaurant was perfect in every way based on my experience. Service 10/10 - attentive, polite and very friendly. Food 10/10 nothing we ordered disappointed. Ambience 10/10 very nice setting to dine in. Congrats to the management and staff for stepping up and making this a special place to eat. Like any restaurant there are a few bumps along the way but the important thing is turning this around and from what I witnessed this restaurant is listening to feedback and have turned this around.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Circolo Popolare London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Circolo Popolare London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Circolo Popolare London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Circolo Popolare London!
