EM’s latest review

Pescatori (11 Dover Street, London, W1S 4LH)

Being part of the Spaghetti House group of restaurants, the food was of a similiar standard but 4 times the price.

We ordered their signature ‘lobster spaghetti’ to be confronted with a dish that was tasteless and has barely a few pieces of tough chewy “lobster” (because it is frozen, not fresh lobster that they have used). At £38 for the dish, one naturally would expect a little bit more effort.

The halibut was slightly better, however the crispy tuna was lacklustre, coated with panko breadcrumbs and deep fried.

Avoid this place unless you are accustomed to Bella Italia and Spaghetti House standard of italian food, but dont mind paying four times the price. Most of the diners on the friday evening were tourists and non-locals.

Dinner for 2 with starters, mains and a bottle of their cheapest prosecco costs in the region of £120, after they had slapped on £12 for service. A week after I had eaten there, I found Oddbins selling the same bottle of prosecco for £6, which we had paid £25 in the restaurant for.

Tourist trap.
