Reviews Summary

Supply and Demand is lauded for its creative, authentic Italian-inspired cuisine, particularly its fresh pasta and raw bar selections. Diners rave about the friendly service, cozy ambiance, and signature dishes like the squid ink rigatoni and kale salad. While generally positive, some reviewers noted that dishes can be overly salty, and the restaurant can get quite loud.

"Amazing experience! Authentic Italian-inspired food with perfectly balanced flavors. The butternut squash and goat cheese ravioli were outstanding. Friendly, professional service and a great gin and tonic menu. Cozy ambiance—highly recommend!"

berubefrank

"We had a fantastic experience at Supply and Demand - we split seven items throughout our meal and every one of them was fantastic. The most outstanding dishes were definitely the squid ink rigatoni, which was incredible and unique, along with the roasted Brussels sprouts and the duck entrée. Our server was also amazing, and she suggested the perfect drinks to go with our meal."

John Sequitur

"Wow! What a marvellous restaurant this is! My girlfriend had been here a long time ago and when I told her I was preparing a date in Chelsea, she really insisted that we pass by the Supply and Demand restaurant for dinner.

I'm really glad I listened to her as this is an absolute gem of a restaurant. I've been to hundreds, including a bunch of Michelin stars, and this is really up there on my list of places that you MUST try.

I would love to give a huge shout out to our waitress - she was hands down the best part of the whole experience and one of the most friendliest and genuinely passionate person I've met.

Also, a second slightly smaller shout out: the complimentary bread at the Supply and Demand is easily the best restaurant bread I've had in my life. I can easily just eat that bread for the meal and I'd be more then satisfied. I have no idea how they bake it, but please don't ever change it. I'll be back for sure just for more bread!"
