The food is authentically unpretentious and healthy.Regulars,of whom there are many,like it that way.
Hand made tortelloni,whether stuffed with wild mushrooms or asparagus,are not to be missed.
The family of staff work loyally and efficiently.



HARPERS AND QUEEN by Jennifer Sharpe-2004
Family owned Italian restaurant with a loyal clientele of high profile types who like quiet places (Gordon Brown courted Sarah Macaulay here).
The daily menu is typical Umbrian cooking.Try wild mushroom tortelloni with truffle butter,tagliata of Angus beef with rucola & parmesan or grilled salmon with shallots.

SQUARE MEAL 2006
'Consistently one of the best restaurants in Soho.Superb food,a fablous winelist and a very friendly front of house team.Menu changes daily & reflect a love of ingredients that are allowed to express themselves'


ROUGH GUIDE 2004
The Pavilion has been a Soho fixture for the past thirty years.But there is nothing old or institutional about the cooking or décor.The establishment has long been a favourite with diners who appreciate the food,which is fairly simple but made with top-class ingredients.Dishes are biased towards Umbrian cuisine.Customers include the great and the good,and the Pavilion’s modern yet comfortable atmosphere guarantees them anonymity.

TIME OUT 2006
V&P is bust most nights with a crowd looking for quality Italian food,a buzzy atmosphere and friendly efficient service.Fresh pasta features often as do the ingredients of Vasco's beloved Umbria.
