Went there for a Sunday afternoon lunch with the family. The place was not overly busy so we could just walk in and get a small table. The interior is nice and cozy and the service is friendly. We had pasta dishes which my wife really loved. I had the Carbonara which was very flavorsome and enjoyable (portions are very large so I could not finish mine). We also had the calamari, which were OK but I have had better and was not overly impressed. Overall an enjoyable Sunday lunch place.

Graziano is the best, his knowledge about the menu and wine is unbelievable, I recommend this place, the staff is amazing, the food was 10 stars ??

Six of us went there for a birthday celebration. The restaurant itself is very pleasant and the food was ok to very good, depending on what the dish was. However, the service was far from perfect, especially at the end. We were given the bill before we had finished our meal (we hadn’t even yet asked for it.) Then before we had time to look at the bill and check it one of the waiters was standing over us with the card machine. Admittedly it was their closing time but surely a restaurant should give the customers a little leeway. None of us had ever before been to a restaurant where we felt so unwelcome at the end.

Had previously rated this 5 stars but felt the need to update my review. Service has massively declined from previous visits and it feels that at times it's for the sole purpose of grabbing every last pound. On our most recent visit we booked with OpenTable with the view of using an opentable cheque (I highlighted this in the original booking and also checked to make sure the restaurant was not on the exemption list). We arrived and ordered our usual bottle of house wine. We were then told that it was unfortunately out of stock so opted for the next one up at an additional cost of 4 pounds. When ordering we asked for a substitute in pasta (normal to squid ink) and whilst that does cost more we were told that it would incur a further 1 pound additional charge, which I felt was already offset having had to order more expensive wine. At the end of the meal our dining cheque was not honoured and no gesture of goodwill was given even though service was at 12.5 and we had already given the restaurant a heads up. The whole experience has left a sour taste and it is so disappointing that a once frequently visited restaurant with personable service has got to this point. Given this we will probably not be returning as Fulham has an abundance of good quality Italian food elsewhere.

I've been to Vicino a few times now and have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. The food is both amazing in taste and also amzing in presention. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back!
While visiting the team at our London office, I was taken to this unassuming Italian restaurant about 0.5 miles or (0.8 kilometers) away.Living in the New York and New Jersey areas, having been to Italy numerous times, and having eaten food by chefs such as Lidia Bastianich and Massimo Bottura, I am definitely what you could consider picky about what constitutes good Italian food.Dining in at Vicino's and having their Lasagna Vicino was a totally unexpected and pleasant surprise. I also tried one of their veal meatballs and both items were rustic, delicious, and honestly tasted of home in the sense that you knew the person that made them loves their culture and most importantly the food he puts out in front of people.The flavors were all well balanced with nothing being too intense or assaulting your taste buds. The best thing about the food is that it tasted like home. For anyone that knows or has an Italian nonna, that is the vibe you get with each bite.All in all, I highly suggest. Their drink selection was also quite robust (with the exception of beer), but then again pubs are for beer and restaurants are for great food.

We go to Vicino around 6 times a year and the food and service never disappoint! The menu changes slightly throughout the year to incorporate fresh seasonal produce whilst the classics remain a reliable constant. Favourites include the carpaccio di manzo, calamari, or bresaola to start, followed by the carbonara (best in london), taglioni speck (my favourite), or linguine for mains. The staff are charming and it feels like you're part of a big family whilst dining there. We always have a fantastic time with delicious food and leave feeling very happy. Thank you!
