Harden's says
Italian for ‘trough’ – after the communal stone water troughs found across Tuscany – this Notting Hill Italian is run by Lara Boglione, whose family owns Petersham Nurseries on the edge of Richmond Park. It’s a Florentine wine bar/restaurant opened with the help of her Tuscan winemaker husband, Giovanni Mazzei, whose family has been producing wine for 500 years; and who has assembled a 350-strong selection for Trogolo. His humble aim is to make the wine list “the definitive reference point for Italian and, specifically, Tuscan wines in London“.The downstairs bar has its own menu of Tuscan snacks and also offers cocktails, while the main menu is served in upstairs in the dining room, which features long tables for communal eating as well as marble-topped tables for two. “No fluff, no fuss, just flavour”.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
For 35 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).
