Located just steps from Waterloo Station and a short stroll from the South Bank, Azzurro Italian Bar & Kitchen offers a relaxed setting for private dining in central London. Whether you’re planning a team lunch, a birthday celebration or a family get-together, this welcoming Italian restaurant caters for every occasion.
Azzurro features a variety of spaces, including a stylish mezzanine, a sun-drenched terrace with a wooden pergola and a characterful underground dining room. The latter is a particularly unique setting, tucked beneath a curved brick ceiling with wooden floors, framed artwork and long banquet tables — ideal for private group dinners or informal events. The main restaurant is light and bright with whitewashed brick and wooden panelling on the walls.
The menu celebrates traditional Italian cooking, with fresh, handmade dishes prepared to order. Starters include crisp calamari with lemon aioli, golden arancini filled with gooey cheese, vibrant bruschetta topped with tomatoes and basil and classic caprese salad.
For mains, guests can enjoy hearty pasta dishes such as penne arrabbiata, tagliatelle funghi and traditional lasagne. Meat lovers will appreciate the Tuscan beef stew, while pizza fans can choose from crowd-pleasers like Margherita, pepperoni, or a goat’s cheese with caramelised red onions
There’s also a dedicated burger section, sides including halloumi salad and seasonal vegetables and indulgent desserts such as tiramisu, chocolate fondant and profiteroles. A well-stocked bar offers cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer and cider
Azzurro is great value for money too and offers two-for-one deals available on starters, mains and desserts. With a central location, welcoming service and flexible spaces, Azzurro Waterloo is a fantastic choice for group dining on a sun-drenched Aperol on the terrace.
