South Kensington, Pizza Restaurant Guide

Duo of valued “neighbourhood hang-outs” in Dulwich Village and South Ken, providing a “pleasant, safe option” (and a “kid friendly” one too); “the food is in standard pizza and pasta territory, but freshly prepared and in decent portions”.

“Always packed, very reliable Italian” near the Albert Hall whose “formula has stood the test of time” (since 1967) and which feels “here for the duration”. There’s a “standard and well-cooked menu of pastas, pizzas and salads”, “amazing home-made ice cream”, and “plenty of photos to remind you of their most famous regular of bygone years, Princess Di!”, who used to bring the young princes from nearby Kensington Palace for a lunchtime treat (not shy about the connection, their Instagram proclaims ‘Here to serve Celebrities, Royalty, and YOU’).
