Forty Dean Street is the pinnacle of affordable Italian cuisine in busy Soho. We are a small, family run restaurant dedicated to providing incredible food at incredible prices. Our set menu boasts a variety of sensational dishes built around fresh, seasonal produce and has customers coming back on a daily basis. Our à la carte menu is a favourite with our regulars, the media crowd and tourists alike.
Italian food has been served at Forty Dean Street for more than 17 years, so we like to think there’s nothing we haven’t mastered. So pop in for an Aperol Spritz!

    As previous visits food was delicious, service excellent and extremely reasonable for London. Lovely authentic Italian restaurant especially cosy and welcoming on a cold and wet November evening. Can’t wait until our next London visit so we can return again!

    Really enjoyed our early lunch, hence it was nice and quiet. Relaxing dinning room with stylish Christmas decorations. Attentive and polite service. Lots of choice on the menu and generous portions. Beetroot and goats cheese arancini were delicious, Sea bass and pork belly cooked really well, and good selection of wines by the glass. Would go back and recommend to friends.
