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!

    Nice decor, cosy restaurant. We enjoyed arancini & prawn starters and fresh pasta mains. Limit on time at table, quite forcefully reinforced on arrival by front of house, meant we didn’t have time to order a dessert - despite sitting down 15 minutes earlier than we’d booked for. Would try again though as the food was good.

    First time at Forty Dean Street, but definitely not the last. We booked again on our way out! Food amazing, wine perfect and a great atmosphere for lunchtime. Can't wait to return.

    First experience at 'Deans' and one that will be repeated into the future. The Tiger prawn linguine was excellent served by a friendly and efficient team. I look forward to my next visit...

    Food was amazing. It was very noisy and I couldn’t hear my girlfriend talk who was sitting in front of me. Tables are very close together and it is fairly packed.

    one of the dishes wasn't good, we had to send it back. The pizza was nice. The service was really good and they did all they could, waiving the pasta from the bill and offering us a complimentary desert
