Nestled just a stone's throw from Waterloo Station in London, Azzurro offers a charming slice of Italy right in the heart of the city. This Italian restaurant captures the essence of traditional Italian dining with its cozy ambiance, authentic flavors, and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're wandering through the bustling streets or seeking a warm, comforting meal after a day of sightseeing, Azzurro stands out as a must-visit culinary destination for food lovers and travelers alike.

Stopped in while wandering the city, unsure of what I may have my eyes set on. I asked the waiter for recommendations between a couple of dishes, and he selected the penne caprino. I ordered it as a lunch special, which included a glass of house wine.

The dish was delicious! I'd definitely come back to try some of the other pastas on the menu, based on this experience.

The restaurant has Italian charm as you turn the corner from the bar area, and it looks as though it may have an upstairs space available as well.

Stumbled across this place while searching for a pub. We decided to go for Italian food and were pleasantly surprised.

Food was good. We had the spaghetti veneziana, tagliatelle salmone, and penne pollo. We topped it with some cider, white wine, and chocolate torte for dessert. 

The waitress we had was pretty good and quick with the service. The food was flavorful and delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was also nice for a dinner meal. Lots of dim light to make the place feel very fancy.

Next time I am in London I will be revisiting this place.

Stumbled upon this place while walking around. Was a very unique interior as you are below the train.  You could here the trains passing overhead.     Enjoyed our pasta dishes.  Service was okay but a bit slow.

Came here before deciding to go back to our hotel after a day of touristing. The ambiance is very cute and the restaurant is a lot bigger than I expected. The prices were good and the food was okay. I feel like you get what you pay for here, this is a tourist area so the food isn't high quality Italian cuisine but it was good for the price. Our server was very nice and they serve good pirtions.

This was a good spot to have dinner on our first night in London. Make sure you call ahead and make reservations. We didn't make reservations, but they sat us right away. Waiting staff is polite and attentive. The scene is nice, right under a train passing, which gives it a bit of character. Would recommend.

Lovely Italian restaurant, the menu is well balanced with pasta, pizza, risotto and a selection of other mains and sides. As it was a particularly hot day it was a lovely escape from the heat (the Waterloo bridge arches make the inside of the restaurant cool (both in temperature and in terms of decor).

I enjoyed my pizza very much and it was quite filling and so did everyone else with their respective meals.

The only thing that I was not sure about was that the egg on the pizza was boiled and cut in 4, when I thought it would be one of those that they crack open on the pizza and it cooks with it. Just in case you wanted that, that's not it.

The desserts were very tasty too, I recommend the hazelnut ice cream (tartufo something) as it was delicious and the chocolate orange tart if you are a fan of chocolate oranges.

In general it's a good dinner option in Waterloo and you also get to escape the big chain restaurants that the area is full of.

I visited midweek for lunch as a friend and I were looking for somewhere close to the station to grab food and catch up! The exterior of the restaurant looked inviting and the menu sounded delightful so in we went. 

There is a bar area with a good amount of comfortable looking seating as you first enter, then you walk to the back and to the left to get the more formal dining area. The restaurant is under railway arches and it's beautiful inside! 

We were pleased to spot they offered a lunch deal of £10.50 for any pizza or pasta and a drink (including wine, beer or soft drink). I had the goats cheese ravioli with a creamy chive sauce and it was so good! Really flavoursome, though the pasta was a little too al dente for my personal taste. My friend had the lasagne which looked heavenly and we shared a garlic bread (though I ended up not eating mine as it was a little too strong)! 

We then shared the affogato plus the chocolate orange cheesecake for dessert. Both were perfect. The affogato is fairly simple but was attractively displayed and the cheesecake was simply divine! 

The service was friendly and efficient, we enjoyed a very leisurely lunch and didn't feel rushed at all. Would definitely return!

After being in Paris for 4 days, thus was our first meal here that did not include steak and fries. What a breath of fresh air.

We had the rigatoni that was pretty good, had a spicy kick to it. We also had the pollo Alfredo pizza that was super delicious. Posted a picture of it. 

The service was pretty good, super grateful to have such a good meal after being stuck with a lack of variety of food to eat. The folks here were really nice unlike in Paris too.

Yesterday through work I was in London. Trying to catch the train back to Manchester, I caught up with some friends at Waterloo and went to Azzurro. I ordered Arancini as a starter and Carbonara for the main. The food was great but I have to say the carbonara wasn't authentic as it contains cream rather than just eggs and parmesan. The arancini was cooked just right as the risotto was not stodgy but with golden crispy breadcrumbs. The tomato sauce with parmesan was just right as it gave a well balanced flavour that wasn't overly salty, though I wish the dish had more than 3 balls. It is value for money for the main as you do get a lot of food especially for London price. In terms of service, it was ok but it could be improved as they forgot our dessert, which nearly made me miss my train as I arrived 5 minutes before leaving. Each of us ended up paying £24 each (4 people) for 3 course meal with drinks.

Overall, value 4/5, food 4/5and service3/5

We came for lunch on a rainy day at Christmas time and were seated near the Christmas tree, which pleased our child. I ordered the Azzurro salad, which had avocado, beets, nuts, etc., and was lovely. My son had lasagne and was happy with the food and our child loved her pasta with red sauce and meat. The bread basket had a nice variety of warm breads. Service was attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
