Il Principe - Oxford

The restaurant deceives customers with overpriced wine and expensive pizzas. It's difficult to comprehend how a establishment like this could engage in such deceitful actions with their offerings.

We have only started using Il Principe for takeaway during the lockdown and we regret not trying it sooner. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and if you pick up your order, it's always ready in under 30 minutes. I often customize my order instead of choosing something straight from the menu, and the staff is always accommodating. Whether we order pizza, pasta, or another main dish, we have yet to have a disappointing meal after many takeaways. Without a doubt, the best Italian restaurant in Oxford!

The food at Il Principe is outstanding. Don't pay attention to any negative reviews, they must be from competitors. My experiences at Il Principe have always been fantastic. It is a small restaurant, so sometimes there is a wait for the food, but the staff have always been honest about this. It's best to call them directly to place your order instead of using delivery apps like Deliveroo or Uber Eats, so you can communicate with the staff and understand any delays. The food usually arrives in less than 45 minutes, and even when it takes longer, it's worth the wait because the food is so delicious and popular. The prices are reasonable and the wine selection is excellent. Before lockdown, Il Principe was known for bringing the best of Italian cuisine to the UK. I am writing this review to highly recommend this five-star establishment. Give them a call, discuss your order, and you won't be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I ordered from Il Principe online via Uber Eats and we were very disappointed by the entire experience. Firstly, the food arrived about 20 minutes late, after over an hour’s wait on the app. Then, when opened, we were at first negatively surprised by the aspect of the food, and then by the fact that it was cold. I ordered a pizza which was soaked in oil, and which seamed to have been made in disgust by the cook, with all the ingredients randomly thrown around the pie. La piece du resistance, a ball of burrata cheese, was literally thrown in the middle of the pizza, and left there to be half melted and half cooked. My girlfriend ordered fries, which arrived cold, and calamari, which were fried but all the breading that was supposed to be on them was inexistent. For sauces, they threw in the bag some fastfood sauces not what you would expect for a 20£/person meal! For desert, we had tiramisu, which, when opened after a 30 minute meal, was still frozen, and a canola siciliano, which was tasteless. I am writing this review after about 20 minutes from finishing the meal, and both my girlfriend and I are feeling quite sick in our stomachs, with me having quite bad cramps. I chose this restaurant based on its good reviews, so I am highly disappointed and recommend that everybody best avoids it.

I am a regular customer at Il Principe and they never disappoint. I would usually go for the original Margherita but since releasing their new menu I love the ‘Nduja pizza. Their food is authentic and the staff are very friendly. I’ve recommended this place friends and family!
