“If you want a traditional Italian restaurant in Chelsea, this is the place”, say regulars at this tiny, “tucked away” trat’ “in a Chelsea side street off the King’s Road” – a quirky site they’ve been going to for yonks (mostly since before the founder, Roberto Colussi, died a few years ago). It can seem a bit “disorganised”, but “even on a quiet Tuesday lunchtime, it’s pretty much full and for a good reason: it’s excellent value for money” by the standards of the area.

“Despite being off the beaten track” in Chelsea (albeit near the King’s Road), this tiny trat’ still packs ’em in. Founder Roberto Colussi died a few years back, but the front-of-house team has maintained his warm welcome and the very dependable cooking.

This diminutive but “highly enjoyable” Venetian trattoria off Chelsea’s King’s Road (named in honour of the Doge who laid out Venice’s Piazza San Marco) is “really popular with the locals” for its “great buzz”, led by the “loud and funny waiters”. Founder Roberto Colussi died five years ago, but it has carried on in the way he intended, and will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year.

“There’s a real buzz and warmth” to this tiny but “intimate” Venetian trattoria off the King’s Road, which packs in well-heeled Chelsea locals and their children. Roberto Colussi, who founded it in 1984, died four years ago, but its regulars continue to recommend it as “great for a night with good friends”. “The cooking is amazing given its minute kitchen”, but overall “you don’t really go to Ziani’s for the food”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
