La Ballerina
About
La Ballerina Italian Restaurant sits at the heart of Covent Garden, steps from the Royal Opera House. Since 1999 the venue has delighted locals and visitors alike with authentic Italian fare—hand‑made pizzas, fresh pastas, and a seasonal menu of classic dishes. The dining room’s elegant opera‑inspired décor offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that caters to families, couples, and solo diners. With set menus priced from £19.95 and individual dishes as low as £6.50, the restaurant provides excellent value for the quality of food and service. Reservations are recommended on busy evenings, especially during the opera season, though the restaurant remains open daily from 12:00 pm to 11:00 pm (sunset 10:00 pm).
