Italian restaurant & Neapolitan Pizzeria, Fitzrovia, Central London
Circolo Popolare London, popular trattoria
Say ciao to Circolo Popolare, our Italian restaurant and Neapolitan pizzeria in the heart of Fitzrovia, Central London—where the walls are lined with 20,000 bottles, the vibe is loud and lovely, and every dish is a hit of pure Italian authenticity. From the first plate of fresh antipasti to the last spoonful of our scandalously rich dolci, this is full-throttle Italian dining, Big Mamma-style. Our menu is a sun-drenched celebration of authentic Italian cuisine, with recipes hailing from Naples, Bologna, and beyond. Dive into creamy pasta dishes like our signature Gran Carbonara, flamboyantly tossed inside a 4kg wheel of pecorino, or tear into a bubbly Neapolitan pizza, made with San Marzano tomatoes, pillowy dough, and gooey mozzarella straight from the Boot. Every dish is made with love and top-quality prodotti italiani, from our iconic burrata from Puglia to slow-cooked pork-stuffed empanadas. And for the grand finale? Our XXL profiteroles dripping in warm chocolate and legendary lemon meringue pie are here to steal the show. At Circolo, whether you’re gathering for a sunny lunch with friends, a family-style dinner, or just looking for the perfect table to fall in love (with someone or your spaghetti), you’re in the right restaurant. Think giant sharing tables, playful cocktails at the bar, and a squadra of 130 passionate Italians who serve joy with every plate. Open every day, from pasta o’clock to pizza o’clock, we’re proud to be one of the most loved Italian restaurants in Central London. So whether you’re in Soho, Fitzrovia, or just hungry, book your table and get ready to festa like it’s summer in Sicily.
