3.5 stars. 

I think we own almost every Jamie Oliver cookbook out there. Needless to say, Jamie's Italian was on my list of places to eat while in London. I've heard from others that this chain is comparable to the U.S.'s Olive Garden, but I think it's definitely more refined. 

The prices and portion sizes are decent. Elderflower Spritz was refreshing. The meat plank had a good mix of meats, cheeses, jams, and tapenade. We've made a lot of Jamie's pastas at home and the ones we had here were so-so. The bolognese and carbonara were good not great. You could tell the noodles weren't homemade and the sauces could have been better. The arancini were very salty, I couldn't tell if it was the sauce or arancini that were salty but whooaaa. 

Service was meh, but I don't think we experienced any over the top great service while abroad. Ambiance was nice and the location was convenient.

I visited for the first time and I think I had high expectations that were not met. The place is casual. First floor is for pizza. Upstairs is for Italian food. It is busy and loud. Our waitress was slow. The food was good, ok presentation and the pasta was  aldente.
I ordered a dish out of his new summer book yellowfin tuna and prawns on a balsamic sauce. It was an ok dish. Don't go there thinking you are going to have amazing Italian food.

The restaurant is located in a nice, clean mall. The staff was quick but not the most friendly. 
We ordered the creamy burrata to share but it came out with our food instead of as an appetizer beforehand. 
The food was mediocre at best but I appreciated the option to get a smaller portion size.

Sorry, but this is the worst place I have been in a long time.  Service seems like a bunch of kids in training, the food tastes blend and the fact alone, that pizza can only be ordered on the first floor and on the second floor one can only order meat, fish and pasta is beyond me. 
Never coming back!

We were excitied to go here because doesn't everyone have a Jamie Oliver cookbook?? We went upstairs because we didnt just want pizza and It started out with SLOW SLOW service and we seemed to wait forever just for a glass of water, much less a cocktail. When drinks finally arrived we ordered salads and pasta.The salads were good but the spinach ravioli pasta was BLAH... There are so many places to choose from in London but this is not one you should choose.

Here is a two part review. 1st is pizzaria downstairs. Absolutely excellent, great tasting pizza plus be sure to try deep fried calamari. Wonderful, inexpensive meal with great drinks to match in city center London.
2nd part is a restaurant upstairs, poor, bad, yaki... you get the picture. Our pasta was undercooked, not al dente as it is supposed to be, but grossly undercooked, chewy and bad. Then came chicken pizzaola, wow the chicken that was not in the sauce was so tough, it was impossible to cut with the knife, try to chew that and you risked to break a tooth. The sauce was too salty, but ok. Chicken breast was clearly cooked separate of sauce and only touched each other on the plate. It is a simple dish which took a genius to spoil in this restaurant. Stay downstairs with pizza...

Just average quality and it's pricey! For a small salmon salad box, it came in at £5.95, which I thought for what it was, was too much. What I particularly don't like is there's a set price and then if you want add like an extra vegetable like sweet potato that's an extra £1.50, then fish or chicken is £2... Before you know it, you're paying £10 for a salad.. 

Food quality, have to admit the salmon was very tasty, so I can see why it always sells out. The rest of the salad was ok but didn't set my word on fire and the choice of dressing was so minimal, I skipped it. 

All in all, super so so place.

This is surprising for a foodie- but this was my first time at Jamie's Italian. We made our way here after quite a few drinks. 

Starter was just some ravioli nachos - delish! The beer helped pinch in some of the red chillies that came in the serving. The husband says the lamb was one of the best he's had - lovely farm lamb chops. We were told we got one of the last portions as the menu is to be reworked soon. I had some penne....regular tasting. The polenta cake for pudding was yumm and I successfully polished it off with no help.

Service - happy and relaxed. Restaurant ambiance - lovely (we got a table by the window. We had some lovely company in a little boy from the next table - a rarity to see kids be amusing and not annoying at a restaurant.

Awful. Came in here after a show looking for something simple and was so, so disappointed. Got the Italian nachos for a starter and they were clearly frozen and reheated (think: Totino's pizza rolls, but not even as good). Got gnocchi for the main and was similarly disappointed. They were bland and the sauce they came in tasted like it was straight from a can. For £50 for two, I was expecting at least something decent. What I got was bland, prepared badly, and overpriced. Skip this place.
