Harden's survey result
Summary
“The Chiswick High Road is not exactly a destination, but L’Amorosa is”. Andy Needham’s “superb neighbourhood Italian”, near Ravenscourt Park, is particularly known for its pasta and offers “great value for the quality of cooking”. Apparently, water damage through the roof in September 2020 added insult to injury during the pandemic, but a reopening in autumn 2021 is promised, complete with a full refurb. We have rated it on the basis of plus ça change…
Summary
“It’s a privilege to have such a high-class local Italian on our doorstep – I love it!”, say Hammersmith foodies, thrilled by the “authentic food at affordable prices” (“fab pasta” in particular) which draws fans from across West London; it’s prepared by ex-Zafferano chef/patron, Andy Needham, in slightly quirky, split-level premises, in a row of shops near Ravenscourt Park. The “warm welcome” from staff helps the occasion feel “special”.

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).
