Harden's survey result
Summary
It’s the large leafy courtyard out front that catches the eye at the Bianchi Bandinelli family’s slightly quirky venue. Drawing on five centuries of tradition from an estate near Siena, the aim to import a slice of Tuscan living to London would not seem out of place in, say, Chelsea, but seems a little offbeat on this rather trafficky stretch of the Chiswick High Road (although having the famous Metropolis recording studios next door doubtless helps provide custom). Fans say it’s a “special” place – “quite expensive, but some of the best Italian around”.
Summary
This “beautiful courtyard” on the Chiswick High Road “feels like a little bit of (the expensive part) of Tuscany – but at least you’ve saved on the air fare”, and the “delightful atmosphere, good fish and pasta” add to the impression. The Chianti estate it is named after has exported wine to London for 300 years.
Summary
“A little piece of super-smooth Chiantishire dropped into W4” – this “spacious and comfortable” venue on a trafficky highway between Chiswick and Hammersmith makes “an amazing neighbourhood restaurant – very lucky locals!”. Named after the 500-year-old Tuscan estate that owns it and supplies organic wines for the list, it “isn’t cheap but the food is generally excellent” and “presentation and service are impeccable”.
Summary
“The next best thing to going on holiday to Italy” (well, nearly) – this “little piece of Tuscany in Chiswick” has become one of west London’s better-known dining destinations, despite a tricky no-man's-land location between Chiswick and Hammersmith (which music buffs may recognise as being next to Metropolis Studios). Assets include its “elegant interior” and “gorgeous outdoor space”, plus “good, traditional Tuscan food” chosen to accompany the “exceptionally good wines from the owners' own vineyards” (a 500-year-old Chianti estate). “Lovely staff” help ensure “a meal at the Villa is always an event”.
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).
