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!

The food and place were good, they were a bit pushy about the time allotted to the extent that they made us feel uncomfortable at times

Visited after a few years, used to be a regular visitor. It was a disappointment. Service was hectic, food was very quick and pasta undercooked. Prices have increased a lot, £20 for a bowl of pasta….cheese board looked like scraps found around the kitchen.
