Clos Maggiore

“The cloakroom attendant greeted us in a rather grumpy manner which didn't auger well. But we immediately forgot about her when the smiley and friendly Azil came to explain the menu. There is a set menu at £29 (with supplements) which includes a glass of bubbles and offers exceptional value. The rest of the service team, sommeliers, and managers were all wonderfully professional and friendly. The bread was good the starters were very nice apart from the cheese souffle which was rather stodgy inside. The cod was very good but the pork was a little sinewy. desserts were nice but to be picky the chocolate souffle was really a mousse - but delicious nevertheless. The petits fours were all home-made and excellent. The restaurant is cozy, it was quite cold to start but when I mentioned it, the lovely sommelier (I didn't catch her name) said she would increase the temperature - and did !! (a rarity in restaurants). She has over 2000 wines to look after so it was good of her to look after the aircon well. This is a really lovely restaurant and rightly deserves all the praise and success it gets.”

“Clos Maggiore is easily one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve visited in London. The moment I walked in, I was impressed by the stunning blossom-covered ceiling and warm lighting, which created a romantic and elegant atmosphere. If possible, request a table near the fireplace in the conservatory area for the full experience. I chose the tasting menu (£89) with the Champagne pairing, and every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. My favorite dish was the steak tartare, which was perfectly balanced and surprisingly approachable despite being served raw. The service was excellent throughout the evening. The staff and sommelier were attentive, knowledgeable, and provided great recommendations. Overall, a memorable dining experience with beautiful surroundings, excellent food, and outstanding service.”

“Five-star experience in every sense. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless - the food, the presentation, the atmosphere, and above all, the service. The dishes were exceptional: beautifully presented, thoughtfully crafted, and absolutely delicious. A huge, heartfelt shout-out to Giuseppe, who looked after myself and my mum as we celebrated her birthday. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care turned a wonderful meal into something truly magical. He went above and beyond to make the occasion unforgettable, and it meant the world to us. This is hospitality at its absolute best — we’ll be talking about it for a long time to come and cannot wait to return - TOP TIER!”

“Clos Maggiore is over-rated. Over priced and under delivers. Fantastic location in Covent Garden with a charming garden like atmosphere. The staff are definitely focused on rushing the experience as they are more focused on turning tables as opposed to allowing one to enjoy an experience with a significant other, friends or family. In our case we were celebrating my son’s graduation from grad school and we settled on this restaurant expecting a unique and memorable experience. We were a group of 6 who had not seen each other for a while, so the first 30 minutes or so was all about settling in, catching up and ordering drinks. After repeated flurried attempts to ask our orders, we finally agreed on some specialty dishes which took time to deliver by a different wait staff who placed all our orders incorrectly, and even included items we had not ordered but belonged to the table next to us. We had barely finished our meal and were preparing to order deserts and more drinks when told our time expired, as another party was waiting to be seated at our table. We were not quite 2 hours at the restaurant and for a top rated “fine dining” experience, we were quite taken a back. And it was not for lack of spending money as our meal exceeded £150 per person. Food portions are SMALL, but tasty - so prepare to eat elsewhere afterwards or not be too hungry when seated. We went to Burger King afterwards. The French Onion soup was tasteless aside from the lump of bread covered in cheese. In the end, it was a memorable experience, but not for the expected reasons ….. I rated 4 stars simply because no matter the location, we seem to enjoy the company of friends and family. But as far as THIS restaurant goes, it’s a tough sell to rate above 3-stars. This should have been a 5-star experience on all the possible parameters. The restaurant lost focus of its customers. I’m certain others will agree.”

“We chose Cloggs Maggiore to celebrate my birthday 🎂 , (Thank You to the restaurant for the very kind celebratory 🍫 🎂 gesture 💗) and it was a lovely choice for the atmosphere alone. The space is filled with beautiful floral touches, giving it a romantic, elegant, and slightly whimsical vibe — perfect for a special occasion. 🌟🌹 I particularly enjoyed the starters and cocktails. The cocktails were not only delicious but also beautifully presented — the glassware was so innovative and eye-catching that it made the experience even more fun and memorable. 🌹🌟 My main course was good but not outstanding. The fish, while nicely flavoured, wasn’t as tender as I expected and was slightly chewy, which may simply not have been to my personal preference.😅 Overall, if you’re looking for a romantic dining experience with a gorgeous setting and great cocktails, this is definitely the place. A lovely spot for celebrations, dates, or anyone who appreciates ambiance as much as food 🌷🍸”
