Harden's survey result
Summary
“Extraordinarily good pizzas”, “very good negronis” and “no burgers” are served at this bar, which boasts “the style of Mayfair transplanted to Notting Hill”. It’s upstairs from Assaggi, and from the same team, in the former pub they share, and these days seems the less risky bet. Top Tip – “try the truffle pizza in winter and English asparagus with San Daniele ham in summer”.

Summary
“Quite exceptional pizzas” and a small menu “that changes to reflect seasonal ingredients” are proving a big hit at the street-level bar of this former pub on the Notting Hill-Bayswater border, taken over in recent times by the team who resurrected Assaggi above (see also). Unlike upstairs, here ratings are rock-solid – maybe this is where their focus increasingly lies?
Summary
“A great addition to Notting Hill/Bayswater” – the Assaggi team have taken over the ground floor of the pub they have occupied for so many years to create this “superb”, more achievably priced, all-day pizza/pastaria, with tapas “catering to the discerning and top pizza”.
For 30 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).
