The triple chocolate cake... chocolate was not flowy enough. White chocolate was kind of clumpy. And the triple chocolate did not cover the whole slice of cake.

The location was good, the ambience was also good. They were understaffed on the day and we had to repeat ourselves a few times to get the things right. The staff serving did their best to make things right. On a different day I believe it may have been a better service with a full complement of staffing.

We had a lovely time visiting Italian Bear. The chocolate was amazing. The service was super fast and very friendly. I had the Caprese cake to take home and it was delicious and a large slice too. It’s not the cheapest but was worth the visit to do something different in London and have a treat. Will certainly go back.

We loved everything about the Italian bear, we visited as a family to celebrate my birthday, the staff were so accommodating making sure 14 of us had somewhere to sit together. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was amazing and of course we had to try the triple chocolate cake which you need to share with someone as its huge but so worth it . Well worth the trip.

Entering the premises with a buggy was tricky. First of all there was a rope closing the entrance door off and the other door was the exit door. There was an 8 seater table by the door which could be replaced by smaller ones to give more seating space or move it towards the back and bring the smaller tables forward. There was only one toilet not suitable for baby changing or if you are in a wheelchair. The hot chocolate drink is pure chocolate, very delicious but if you are wanting a panini first order the drink for afterwards. On the whole the service and atmosphere was delightful. A very novel idea. Well done.

We had a young blonde boy as our waiter, apologies I didn’t catch his name. He was efficient, attentive, friendly. We were first in so sat in the armchairs. To improve I think the restaurant needs more comfy seating. Hot chocolate was lovely and have been twice already with more trips planned.

Lovely staff and very cozy space. Even though it’s smaller than I was expecting, there’s lots of natural light, nice temperature inside. The downsides: tables are too small and depending on how much food you order, you might need to use another table, probably taking place from someone else who’s waiting outside for a seat. I think round tables would solve the problem and suit the place well. What I noticed is that they took too long to call for extra staff when the place got busy. It’s just too much for only one server and still she gave her best. Other than that, big kudos to the kitchen staff - food that not only feeds your belly but the soul. Quality ingredients, tastes fresh and homemade. Not to mention the chocolate: I’ve had the best chocolate cake I ever tasted in my entire life. I will certainly go back to Italian Bear multiple times!

The staff were really friendly and polite, table service was good. The choices are great and the hot chocolate where they drip all types of chocolate over the cups is amazing and tastes great too!

Our experience at Italian Bear was great. The only complaint I have, is that the people seated next to us had children who were watching videos out loud on a phone at the table, which sort of took away from the otherwise calm, relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant. This is obviously not Italian Bear’s fault.

Needed more staff on. Our hot food sat waiting for staff to serve us. It would have need more enjoyable if it had been hotter. This happened twice to us once with our main meal of pasta and again with our HOT chocolate and cake. As delicious as the hot chocolate was it would have been more enjoyable of it had arrived at our table hot and not sat on the counter getting cold. Cannot fault the friendliness off the member of staff she was lovely.

Great cafe, especially for chocolate lovers. Great service. It was every so slightly sensory overload with the echo of when people talking just from the acoustics. But that wouldn't affect everyone but if you are susceptible to noise triggering you, might be an idea to take some noise cancelling earphones.

The hot chocolate can't be faulted and was pretty reasonable. However the customer service could be improved. We were dumped on the end of a table with a family with no room to breathe and it felt like they were rushing us out the whole time.

Overall nice experience but please make it clear when doing a reservation that your table booking is only for 45 min!! We took our time to choose and no one informed us the table had a limited time neither was mentioned online when booking! Our food came and they informed us we only had 10 min left!! Not nice!

I did try this place as a recommendation from social media, I was not blown away by the food tbh. The hot chocolate tasted of nothing, more like cold custard, the vegan chocolate croissant I would not recommend. The cake with the triple choc affect was nice, but the cake needed to be warm, because it was cold it was dry. The above has probably affected by view on the value. The service and the people were great, just the food let it down, when compared to other great dessert places like Feya, Drunch etc.

It was nice the waiter with a strong accent ( and only one person to be in there) was doing what he could. And he was pretty busy with tables, T/A and food orders. And then later another male came to work, not really willing to work much. It’s a very famous place by Instagram. Otherwise clean and welcoming.

There was a clear lack of atmosphere in the cafe. There was old implements hanging on the wall but looked a mess. There was no indication the chocolates are made on site and the display looked less than impressive. I did not see any chocolate bars which I wanted to buy as a treat for my friend I took for her birthday. The cakes looked ok and took time for the display to be set up. We arrived at 11 am on Sunday and just about setting up. I would have expected the cafe to be set up and ready for customers but it was not and therefore it felt flat. The hot chocolate was delicious however the term hot can’t be applied to it as it was not hot and we had to send back ( she said hadn’t had enough time to warm up) , another indication the cafe was not ready! I felt the price of a ‘hot’ chocolate was excessive especially if you want the different chocolate drizzled over the cup (and not much chocolate for an extra £1.80. Also on your booking form it asked for radon for visit . I put birthday but what for ? no body made any reference to it and I felt for selling a luxury chocolate the experience was lacking. The product is good but be careful of overcharging and not following through when this was supposed to be a special treat and one we had come up to town for specially. On the positive the staff were nice and friendly.

The cakes were delicious. I think the cleanliness of the place needs to be worked on a little, but I am aware that it was peak time and very busy - but with a queue going out of the door, and lots of tables still with dirty cups and plates / I just think that things could have been moving a lot quicker. i also don't think that its right that the downstairs was closed off and that there was only one toilet available for the whole cafe. I'm glad that I forward planned and booked a table, I would still come back for the cake and hot chocolate.

The expectations for this place were hyped up but in reality it's just a very simple cafe serving chocolate. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was courteous. Hot and boozy drinking chocolates were OK. Cakes were nice enough. It's just nothing special and I wouldn't come back.

The food was delicious. The thing is that panini could be a big bigger. Another thing is that i didnt know for exaple that i HAVE to ask to put 3 chocolats on top of my cakes. i camo for the pictures and taste of 3 chocolates on top, but nobody asked me if i would liked to. The service i would say slow and staff seemed to be stressed and unhappy and unorganized. there was mess with the tables and bookings. The price didnt expect so much, as we had just deserts mostly and 1 panini, but i had to count before myself. The brownie DELICIOUS. Thank you

It was a good experience and the chocolate cake was massive. The hot chocolate with the triple chocolate was probably too much with the cake! I couldn’t drink/eat it all. It will be one or the other next time. It all tasted amazing though.

It was a day with two staff working and although we had booked we had to wait 20 mins for a table.also one of them was a new staff member so our order was not taken correctly . Another staff member eventually showed up and was very efficient and corrected the order. All the chocolate drinks and food we ordered were lovely . However there were no gluten free options and we had to have soup minus bread and the meat board minus bread and still paid the same price

The coffee and chocolate was great as usual, but the staff seemed very disorganised resulting in service being poor. The main waiter mentioned that the staff were new, so hopefully training will improve it. Overall it was ok.

The place seems understaffed. Overpriced for what you get but if you love chocolate its a good choice. Our order was forgotten about and we had to prompt the waiter as he served someone who came in after us first.
