  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Located in London’s one of the most historical corners, just a few steps away from Holborn tube station, overlooking the British Museum, Castelletto is a small Mediterranean oasis away from the city frenzy.
A feast of smells, flavours and colours from our sunny homelands, bring a bream of light and romance to a rainy day.

    Heel leuk klein Italiaans restaurantje met leuke bediening (denk door de eigenaren zelf). Eten was heerlijk, geen mega kaart maar wel echt Italiaans! Simpel ingericht maar toch lekker sfeertje. Lekker likeurtje als afzakkertje kado gekregen! Zou er zo weer gaan eten.

    A pleasant small Italian restaurant just next to the British Museum. They were able to offer a fine Italian menu for Sunday lunch time, which was when I visited! And their wine list was good and reasonably priced. This will certainly be worth another visit at some point later.
