Four To Eight is a contemporary, independent Italian restaurant located in the beating heart of Covent Garden. Established in 2014 by two Italian brothers, whose food philosophy is "beautiful, simple dining" and we believe Italian food is based on simplicity and quality of ingredients, with four to eight going into each dish. Our kitchen team hails from across Italy to deliver a mouth-watering contemporary menu based on the classic flavour combinations of traditional Italian cookery. Our seasonal menu captures the highest quality ingredients when they are at their peak, and we import the best produce from Italy whilst working with the finest ingredients Britain has to offer. Four To Eight offers comprehensive wine list that includes over 130 bins from 14 countries, all carefully curated by our in-house sommelier, as well as a fully stocked bar where you can enjoy a cocktail or aperitivo before your meal.

A friend introduced me to this restaurant. She eats there often as she works nearby and long hours. The food was inventive, fresh and delicious and the staff friendly and very helpful. Spaghetti Carbonara is one of my tests of an italian restaurant - theirs is an amusing slant on the traditional Carbonara and really delicious. Their portions are large. I can't wait to return.

We had a lovely meal at Four to Eight. It was not my first time dining there, I'd been several times over the past two years and have always had a good experience. The food is excellent and unique, fresh and beautifully presented. The bitter chocolate and olive oil mousse is not to be missed, so save room for dessert.

Really good find. The menu didn't provide a HUGE range of choices....but ample for everyone to have a few great options, and I would always favour quality over quantity anyway. Very friendly staff, great central location, superb food and excellent value. Definite five stars!

Great ambiance and good food. Nothing extraordinary but good flavours and culinary skill. The wine was quite pricey for a carafe and bottle prices were not listed. No air conditioning which continues to amaze me in london where heat does exist... perhaps it was broken? We went elsewhere for dessert to avoid the heat. Service was efficient but no necessarily effervescent. I think there is potential here but at the moment it's functional... potential to be artisanal.

For the first time in a very long time (married 51 years!) we had a "date night" and went into London for dinner and the theatre. We picked Four to Eight because of it's proximity to the theatre. Next time, we will pick it because the food was inventive, delicious and beautifully presented. The highlight was our lovely waitress, Emily, who took special care of us and certainly made the dinner even more special!

Couldn't actually fault anything but our problem was it wasn't quite what we were looking for. We'd asked our hotel concierge to recommend a traditional family run Italian restaurant and this just wasn't that. It had modern furniture, bright lights and for us would be more of a daytime or pre/post theatre kind of place. Having said that the staff were very attentive and the food, a modern Italian cuisine was quite tasty.
