Harden's survey result
Summary
“Top pizza by the boys from Napoli!” – Carmelo Meli and Emanuele Tagliarina’s “small” venues offer “great pizzas” (it’s down to the San Marzano tomatoes and EVO oil apparently) and “a good atmosphere”. The original in SW3 is the highest rated, and W11 also wins numerous favourable reports. Also now in Hampstead (since 2022) and – new in mid-2023 – Soho.
Summary
Opinions diverge on this Neapolitan duo, whose year-old Portobello branch already eclipses the small, tucked-away Chelsea original in terms of feedback. Fans hail their “excellent pizzas and other dishes”, while others find them “surprisingly average” and “inexplicably popular”.
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).
