Sycamore Vino Cucina

A lovely restaurant and bar. Nice touch of hospitality welcoming from the moment we arrived to the door and throughout our meal on Friday evening. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. Great bar yet very trendy atmosphere. Burrata, Pappardelle and Tiramisu were the highlights. Thank you and We will be back soon.

Pre-theatre meal with friends. Told staff we would be pushed for time. Couldn't have been more helpful. Amazing pre-theatre menu , arancini was amazing as was the salmon that followed. Will be going back. The bar looked a great place to meet as well. I forgot to mention the fries! Perfect. Thank you

I had lunch with my daughter at Sycamore. After spending half a day at the LSE, we were tired and just randomly walked into this gem of a restaurant. Service was top notch, food was authentic and ambience was great. Our server, miss Marcella was super kind and totally spoiled us. We stayed longer than we intended to, prolonging lunch into a longer stay and ordered desserts and coffee and lovely chat with Marcella, who despite being busy, was catering to all the guests with so much attention. Lived our time spent here. We will definitely be back.

A hit and miss experience. The main thing is that the food is excellent and the cocktails are sublime. Service and atmosphere however are lacking. First, the good. Cocktails We started with an orange Negroni and spicy pineapple margaritas (all delicious), and they have a whole section dedicated for Negronis. Food We shared dishes between three people, and started with the stuffed olives with sheep's milk labneh (perfect accompaniment with the Negroni), gorgonzola & sopressa dumplings (so good), and the burrata with tomatoes. Secondi highlights were the vegan gnocchi with asparagus and nut free pesto, definitely a must! The pappardelle with slow braided short rib was also delicious, but the Tartufata truffle pizza was excellent, subtle truffle flavour, thin base and cheesy. We had a side of the green leaf salad. We finished with the Torta Settevelli, which would have been better if served warmer, and the Tiramisu which was average. Not Good Wine The wine was not good at all. The Nero D'Avola was watery and bitter. Service Our first server was excellent and attentive, but then it fizzled out. We ended up being there for well over 3 hours, and I had to wait over 20 minutes for a glass of wine. Considering there were only 3 other people, it was hardly busy. Atmosphere As it's a hotel restaurant, you have a mix of rude guests talking loudly on their phone and a kid running around, and it doesn't have a buzzy atmosphere. The food alone makes up for the faults, so id definitely recommend for good food and cocktails.

I went for a friend’s birthday and I loved the atmosphere as soon as I entered. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was superb and excellent value for a place that looks like it’s going to be really expensive. I loved that you can choose which size dish to have. I did have the small crab linguine because I’d had a starter but it was so delicious I wish I’d gone for the large. Desserts are amazing too. I’ll definitely be dining here again soon.

Very formal, hotel lobby restaurant with delicious pasta dishes. We used a first table booking as their first tables are quite late at 7:15 PM and means we had a 50% off all food deal. The food was a mixed bag as the crab linguini was absolutely stunning - but the burrata was quite bland and not garnished in a way that flaunts it's strengths. Service was impeccable! I imagine it's a nice place for a date or big group brunch. That said there are no windows in the restaurant (because it's inside a hotel) but they do make up for this with really upmarket decor.
