Had a great experience at this Italian cafe in Little Venice. The service staff were super friendly, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The canal view adds a picturesque touch to the ambience.It was a bummer that all the primo tables up front with the best view were taken. Still, the vibe was fantastic, so probably will be coming back again. Plus, the cake was legit delicious ?

Found this restaurant thanks to a London guide Instagram and decided to check it out. It was definitely a good decision. The carbonara was great, the staff were nice and the views are lovely. I loved the vibe. Definitely coming back!

This is such a lovely location, even better if you get a window seat ... But it's bright and light and has a lovely atmosphere.The service was excellent very prompt ...it is primarily an Italian restaurant but does do an English breakfast, my other half said it was the tastiest he had eaten ... There were a few other breakfast type things and then mainly pasta and pizza.Coffees were lovely and served hot not warm, really nice.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here for brunch and wouldn't hesitate in coming back for dinner

Me & my boyfriend were looking for a nice romantic spot in London and this was so lovely! Amazing view & the coffee and cake was so nice. The waiter replaced our spilt coffee free of charge which we really appreciated too! Will definitely go again :)

The best thing about Cafe LaVille is the view. It sits literally over the canal. The food is good. We had gnocchi and bolognese. Take a stroll along the canal after your visit.

Went for lunch after walking along the canal. We had the prawn pasta from the specials. It was fresh, tasty and flavoursome! Would eat here again ?

Was here for breakfast. A lovely little place sitting over the canal in Maida Vale ("Little Venice"). Location makes you feel like you're in Amsterdam. Good hearty breakfast, chippy service, killer view.

What a little gem of a place, unassuming from the outside but great on the inside. Lovely, airy dining room with great view down the centre of the canal ( especially if you get balcony table) Always wanted to go and heard good things, finally got round to visit for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, food was great , very reasonably priced , served quickly and with a smile . Will definitely be going back, it’s not a huge place so I imagine it’s probably worth booking for the evening.

Ein absolutes Kleinod im Regen Londontreiben. Haben hier zweimal toll gefrühstückt mit Platz direkt überm Wasser. Besser kann der Tag nicht beginnen.
Staff very polite and welcoming. Food served beautifully and tasted so yummy. Portions beyond generous. The place itself lovely layout. Unfortunately doesn't cater for babies or children as in highchairs or ramps for pushchair. Staff helped to monuvere the pushchair in and out.

I booked a table to avoid them not having space for us and the service from start to finish was excellent. The food was freshly made and tasted great, definitely recommend this cafe. The view over the canal was spectacular and we visited on a warm sunny evening.

If you like cheap bread and badly made eggs, here is your chance. Having a nice location doesn't justify the terrible service and awful food. Won't be going there again for sure.

Stopped at this Cafe for some lunch on the way to watch cricket at Lords so as you can imagine it was very busy. Asked the staff if it was possible to accommodate us (family of 4) and was told it may be a 10 minute wait due to being full but definitely could once another couple of diners left. Decided to wait as almost all restaurants in London there is going to be a wait on a Sunday lunchtime! Staff were really nice and ended up putting two sets of tables together in a space right on the edge of the balcony and opened up some shuttered doors for us to make some space. Service was really prompt, and food came out quickly. It's not going to be fine dining so don't expect that, but pizzas were really nice, authentic and not too pricey (for London) either. Pasta was really good too. It's obviously very popular and also very busy because of its location so yes the staff are under some pressure to turnover tables, but some of the comments on here about poor service are maybe a bit unfair in consideration of this and our experience was otherwise.
