40 Dean Street offers an authentic Italian meal experience as a small, family run restaurant who are dedicated to providing incredible food at incredible prices. Their set menu boasts a variety of sensational dishes built around fresh, seasonal produce and has customers coming back on a daily basis.

Their à la carte menu is a favourite ranging from Risotto with porcini mushroom, Ravioli lobster which is ravioli filled with fresh lobster meat in a shellfish bisque sauce, Spaghetti vongole made with clams, chilli and white wine sauce et al, with their regulars, the media crowd and tourists alike.
