Friendly Italian-style restaurant in new St Giles Sq: Vapiano Tottenham Court Rd

We will be back at the Vapiano branch in St Giles Square, the new space by the iconic Centre Point Building, next to Tottenham Court Road station.

If you have not been before, Vapiano is a laid-back Italian restaurant with made-to-order fire-baked pizzas, fresh pasta and hand tossed gourmet salads.

Their system is that you order your food & drink using your mobile phone. (We had to register to use their guest wi-fi because the phone signal in the building was not good enough, so be prepared for that.)

The food is well up to the standard we enjoy, and the service is prompt and friendly.

Vapiano works so well for our lunches that we have used the model for when we book other restaurants. The aim is not to go for high-end dining but to have good reasonably priced food in a space where you can mingle without being tied down to one table all the time. It makes for a great social atmosphere.

At Vapiano Tottenham Court Road (remember it’s not on Tottenham Court Road but by the station) we will carve out a space, so that you can eat, drink and talk in whatever order you choose.

When you are ready, order your pasta, pizza or salad section etc, using your phone, while socializing with other couples. When the meal is ready, the restaurant staff will bring the food and drink to the table. Quite impressive!
