Summary
“An all-time family favourite”, this long-running Notting Hill trat is “a lovely little place, always full and lively”, with “divine pizza and pasta, excellent antipasti and wonderful home-baked bread”, it’s “as authentic as Italian cooking gets in London”. “Make friends with the manager or the service can be snooty”.
For 31 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).
