A Casa Di Anna in Brent

A very charming restaurant. Comfortable seating, soft music, and friendly, hospitable staff. The pasta is wonderfully fresh, and the house red is excellent. One of those places you feel someone has taken real care over. Much recommended.

Best coffee in willesden alongside the Brazilian place. Hot macchiato, strong and done properly. The Cornetto/croissant is served warm, fresh and is flaky. Great prices, run by a passionate couple. Today we are trying their genuine Gelato!

great local pizza but could up its game.

Amazing place , beautiful &cozy inside delicious food and such a nice atmosphere and friendly owner :) We gonna be back as we are locals Highly recommended Thank You ,Magdalena

Delicious Italian pasta and pizza. Owner is super friendly and accommodating!

Lovely Italian place! My partner, my brother and his partner, and I were looking for a good Italian place. I have been craving a good, homemade pasta and their carbonara was to die for! We all enjoyed our pasta. We also ordered their pizza (mushroom and truffle) and we ate every last slice! The tiramisu is also divine. The owner was friendly and the chef was amazing. I would definitely be back to try other dishes!

Enjoyable food. Food is on the pricier end for the volume but the flavor definitely delivered. Very pleasantly surprised. The staff were very accommodating. Will definitely recommend for pasta and pizza!

This is such a lovely little place! Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Huuuge bonus: they have an excellent vegan cheese and can make any pizza vegan 🤗

The food is very fresh , tasty , incredibly mouthwatering . The ambience is very cosy and family like , friendly , the owners are super friendly . I highly recommend this little Italian gem on walm Llanelli in the heart of Willesden Green .

Wow! What a place, it is my new faiv restaurant! I have lived in Italy and I can say this was genuine Italian food, they make their own pasta and pudding and it was delicious! definitely going back! The service was excellent and the vibe was cute, relaxed and very much a lovely local (go there all the time) kinda vibe Definitely worth a visit

We found this lovely Italian restaurant when looking for somewhere to eat and it did not disappoint! The staff were friendly, welcoming and food service was good timing. We had the rosemary fries, arancini balls and shared two pizzas between us. The flavours were gorgeous, food was cooked perfectly, and even though the portions were generous, nothing felt too heavy. Can’t wait to come back!

The owners name Olga and her husband gave us great service and served lovely food. Would recommend everyone to try at least once

Gorgeous place with great food and great service. I encourage anyone going to rely enjoy the paintings because the owners make them☺️☺️☺️☺️

Excellent service and food was fantastic recommend you go there

Small discovery, delicious and tasty food with good value for money. A place to visit.

It was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures. I ordered pasta, risotto, pizza and dumplings. Each one was very delicious, far surpassing the flavor of chain stores. The homemade tiramisu served at the end made people understand what real food is. The taste of freshly made by hand. An absolute treasure store, very cost-effective and with a parking space at the door. It is worth recommending!

Homemade pasta is excellent. Award winning gelato. Great for kids and adults.

This is the best place i ever been through

Wonderfully delicious and atmospheric local Italian.......two such warm hearted kind and caring owners who create a beautiful space to enjoy delicious Italian food......cocktails......and coffee with pastries......highly recommended.....bon appatito!!!!! xxx ❤️ ❤️

Great neighbourhood restaurant, delicious pizza. Aperitivo drinks at great price and fantastic cornetti with pistachio cream

Delicious things and good coffee

Delicious pizza and lovely atmosphere!

Lovely friendly place hosted by the warm owners and for which what meets the eyes is on par with the taste buds. The hand made pizza dough has a three day maturation and is light and crispy. The pizzas are on par with what you would expect in a propper Italian restaurant back in Rome, so by all means make the most of an Italian sensory experience it is well worth it with a nice glass of red by the side...

We ate very well, fast service and the staff were very pleasant. I recommend the pizzas!

Food was incredible and the owners were super nice. Would highly recommend.

Some of the best pasta I have ever had! The atmosphere was so welcoming and cute and the owners were so kind! I’ll recommend it to anyone who comes to the area :)

Spectacular service, amiable owners, and fabulous food. The tortelloni crab was divine and gelato is so creamy. Beautiful paintings and decor, would definitely recommend!

Friendly greeting. Had Brunch. Clean and comfortable surroundings and reasonable prices.

Best Chai Latte in the area!!! Super friendly staff 🍄

Staying in Willesden this weekend with friends We visited 3 times it was that good. Morning coffee and croissants the perfect start to the day. Beautiful evening meal in a relaxed atmosphere . Perfect pizza and pasta. Tiramisu superb. I can't recommend highly enough. 😀

Food and service were amazing! Will come again

By far the best pizza I’ve had in London. Keep up the great work

It was simply delicious! The staff is very professional, grazie!

lovely place, my favourite spot for coffee outside.. the pizza and ice cream is really good too! ❤️

We’ve eaten all over London on our trip here, but keep returning to this little-known gem in Willesden Green. We loved the paninis and ate one of the best lasagnes of our trip. Highly recommend it for the quality of the food, the generous portions, and the attentive and friendly people running the place.

I knew this place before it became "Cavallino", for me it is a treat because it is one of the few pizzeria in London that makes pizza with chips (in Italy it's a new classic since a couple of decades). The manager was kind and he explain to me their new long fermented dough while the pizza was cooking. Then I went home and I opened my pizza: -No chips (terrible) -No nduja The place was empty (around 5 pm) and the pizza was 19 quid. This level of carelessness It's unacceptable both from the pizzaiolo and the manager. I'm fuming, I eat this kind of pizza twice a year and they cannot even deliver because they are distracted. What a joke

Charming family run restaurant offering authentic Italian food. A hidden gem in Willesden owed by lovely people! Can’t wait to come back here again!

Cute little place with amazing food!

Lovely Italian place with friendly owners. They have a fresh menu with different specials and options and they make their own pizza and pasta dough! Would recommend ✨

without a doubt the best pasta i’ve ever had. recommend the tortellini beef and black truffle. cute cat paintings on the wall add a personal touch and it is a very pretty place!! they play very good and calming music there which makes it even better

I like the coffee and food it’s so good.

The place is nice and the owners are nice and they are trying their best. They are not italian and the food is not italian food. They do not undestand what is wrong with what they cook. I feel guilty to say that they suppose to open a restaurant cooking the food they know best. I feel my money have been lost and i feel a misleaded as a customer.

My go-to place in the area! The food is fantastic and fairly priced. They also offer a lunch set which is a great deal. The tiramisu is one of the best I’ve ever had. If you are looking for one that is richly soaked with coffee and lightly sweetened cream, go for it!

After sow many years, I have eaten the best pizza 👍 I will be back how many times I can .

Just got home from eating here this evening. Fabulous food. Wonderful wine. Lovely owners. Amazing cat portraits on the walls tops it all off. Grazie mille Cavalino - I will be back. Everyone in Willesden should check out this delightful restaurant!!

…all cards on the table, we loved the predecessor Italian restaurant, Casa Di Anna! Having said that, once the space was taken over by Cavallino (and despite a slightly rocky start) they have proven their credibility! We ordered two pizzas tonight, admittedly should’ve taken photos but given our age (pre-Instagram over share!) we proceeded to eat enthusiastically! Such were two perfectly served pizzas (Parma Ham + Rocket and a Capricciosa), incredible bases topped with tasty ingredients (in fact, the addition of an egg to the Capricciosa was very welcomed and showed the chef’s understanding and competence, this is what “authentic” looks and tastes like). Try them, or try them again if at first you weren’t sure….you won’t regret it. We’ll be back, regularly!

It was okay. The food took a while to arrive and the lasagna portion was very small for the price. I had the pizza and it was nice but nothing special. It would have been nice to have some chilli oil on the table. The decor is nice and I really wanted to like it but was slightly disappointed.

I came here recently for the first time since the restaurant taken over by a new owner. She’s done a fantastic job. Her customer service and that of her team was brilliant, they were so friendly and warm. The food was delicious and well timed and it was reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be back!

This place is a little gem of Willesden and deserves praise! We had a fantastic experience here last night. Our pizzas were delicious, the evening was reasonably priced and the staff and owners were very warm and welcoming which provided a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you guys!

I had dinner at this lovely little restaurant last night with a friend. Truffle, mushroom pizza and home made pasta with clams - absolutely delicious with a great portion size. Choice of house red wine finished the meal nicely. Definitely visit this gem again, better then any chain restaurant. The restaurant has some fab artwork which created a talking point with owners. Try it for yourselves, a real delight in Willesden.

Delicious, authentic, great value freshly made pasta and super tasty pizza in the heart of Willesden Green.

Best restaurant in Willesden. Very accommodating staff.

Service is very slow , waitress no where to be seen , owner seating in the corner having a loud chat on his phone on the speaker … nothing Italian about this place … 1 out of 10

I went for breakfast here two weeks ago, the breakfast remained the same as when the old owners were there, so the croissants were very good, but it is not acceptable that 40 minutes after opening they don't have any pastries, I don't think they had them finished because the place was empty, and what's more the ovens and the servers were hot. Apart from this the service needs to be improved a lot, they are not welcoming at all and always seem angry, never a hello how are you or even a thank you... I went back last night for tea, nothing to complain about, but the service is still poor, not welcoming at all and not even a hello when we went out, and I'm sorry because what they serve is good but I don't like service like that go places. I also add this photo of how I was answered, and I confirm your inability and I will absolutely come and ask for the therapist's number. xx

Amazing food and super cute interior for a nice evening out! The pizza is one of the best I've had in London :) Plus, the cat paintings are great - the Mona Lisa one is my fave ☺️

I would have given 0 but I can’t. Very bad customer service. The quality of food got worse compared to the previous owners. Based on the answer they have given me (and NO refund whatsoever), clearly, they have a lot to learn about customer service. I don’t generally write a review but if I do, it’s because the service was really poor. Definitely they are going to be happy to have lost a customer. One more thing: do they know the reasons about my negative reviews regarding the other places? Two or three more? How dare they judge me?

Amazing food, highly recommend it

I tried to order a carbonara since the new owner took over. I tried as usual on Uber Eat but the price was £19 😱 I ordered the carbonara through deliveroo for £14 which is much better than £19. However it looks nothing like the picture, I had 4 tiny pieces of pancetta... That's not really cool, massive let down and did not my dish. See picture

The pizza is very good, and they have many offers available :).

Brilliant location amazing service! Would recommend the mocha to anyone coming and the English breakfast!!! A must for anyone passing by in the area :)

I've been here a couple of times, 5 stars for each one. Amazing food and service. Make sure you try the Four Cheese pizza

I ordered my food from Deliveroo, so it may not be a reflection of the actual food one would receive when dining in. I ordered a ham and cheese panini with chips. The panini had almost no cheese - poor quality, lacking in flavour, no additional seasoning which made it bland. The chips were coated in salt, to the point where they were almost impossible to eat. Would unfortunately not recommend these meals. The Italian style meals may be better. edit - if the owners would prefer you to eat in the restaurant, then perhaps they shouldn't advertise their food on deliveroo

We just moved to the Kensal area after living near Camden for a long time. We were struggling to find a new cafe spot we loved until we found Cavallino! Food is tasty and the veggie options are great. The Owner and waitress are so kind and offer such good service. Never leave without getting yourself a sweet pistachio cannoli on the way out too! Love this place it's our new go-to! 🤞🏼🩵

Lovely food, great service and nice atmosphere. They also have nice lunch deals.

I typically don't write reviews but this time I felt I had to. I just bought the traditional lasagna to go and that is an experience that should not be repeated. The beef was crusted so hard that my plastic fork could not cut thru. An absolute waste of money. It ended up in the bin.

my go to Italian restaurant in Willesden Green. the fresh homemade pasta is to die for!

Stay away ! They refuse to serve you in you leave negative comments . Much better old management

Absolutely love the fresh pizzas. Highly recommend the tonno e cupola. This is my go to for traditional Italian pizzas in Willesden Green

The new owners of Cavallino are really taking faith to the original plates of Anna & Stefano. Food quality it's great! 👍🏼😃 I strongly recommend it. I will go again for sure.

Pizza was delicious! Will definitely be back.

Everything was perfect! Thank you chef!

It’s quite easy to walk past this place but that would be a mistake! Their sourdough pizzas are properly excellent as is their pasta. It’s a tiny place with charming owners - don’t be mistaken, it looks like a café but it’s a proper menu & really delicious food. My son gave it 10/10 - and he is obviously a pizza connoisseur.

I was hungry and the cuisine surprised me! Thank you!

Pizza was amazing! Definatly coming back!!

Nice Italian restaurant, very good food and fresh ingredients, handmade and genuine pasta. Good mixed aperitif, excellent tagliatelle with meat sauce and phenomenal gnocchi with gorgonzola and radicchio. The tiramisu was amazing and I was thrilled with every spoonful. Little advice, to be even more authentic, I would try playlists of Italian music and pay more attention to the cleanliness of the cutlery. Admirable artistic vein on the walls, very original paintings. Advise? yes and I will definitely come back to try their pizza. Excellent value for money and excellent incentive with booking via The fork app with a 30% or 50% discount.

Here are some of my photos I took as a practicing photographer. I was passing by and found the style of this cafe very nice. A lot of pictures and many colors as well

Amazing deal on pasta and drink. Highly recommend

Staff and food are lovely and made fresh!

Little Italian heaven in the heart of Willesden Green. Great art by Olga, owner! The cat version of Klimt’s “the Kiss” has my heart 💜 Fantastic food, great pizza (Italian - approved). Do visit! You won’t regret it ;)

Food is really bad, I ordered a *takeaway* carbonara which says is £12 on the menu outside. I was charged £15, when I told the staff the menu outside was wrong, they just thanked me. No apologies or offer to return the overcharged money. When I got home ( less then 2 min away) the food was cold, I waited while they supposedly cooked it. Why was it so cold when I got it if it was freshly made? When I ate it was not not good. I will not be returning. Bring back Bodega d'Anna.. ! If you want to waste money on Rubbish food, dine at Cavallino.

On the day I returned to Japan temporarily, I went to a store that I remember going to before the name changed. The cute tableware that I loved had changed, but the interior remained as cute as before. The owner was very friendly and we had a great time. The pasta was very tasty. I plan on eating there again when I return to the UK.

The pizza was delicious. I will definitely order again!

The place is a really great spot to have some Italian food. Amazing and delicious, the pizza was great and very humble owners and staff. Would definitely recommend it! Had a lovely dinner and time

Amazing pizza. Cilento is highly recommended.

Superb service, lovely food would recommend for pasta and pizza lovers, definitely coming back soon :)

Best Italian in willesden green. Amazing food, funny chef. I've now found my home from home. Highly recommend the pumpkin pasta 😋

Try to get pizza few days ago, but It's a dead place. The new management killed it. No staff, no atmosphere, no pizza. Going under 0

Deliziosa la pasta e la pizza veramente buona e leggera come in italia lo chef e tutto lo staff sempre disponibili

I had pasta with pumpkin filling. It was so delicious. Staff were very friendly and the food was freshly prepared and cooked.

Food and drinks were excellent!

Really good environment! Nice staff and great food!

Отличное место, вкусно, качественно. Хорошая атмосфера, красивый интерьер.

Everything was fantastic, thank you for the nice service

I really liked this place! Soo tasty and cozy, excellent menu, everything is fresh! The most Italian pizza! Yamy))

We had very nice ravioli, tortellini and gnocchi & Plates are quite big!

We had lovely dinner tonight, delicious food, great wine, lady who served us was very friendly. I love the cat paintings on the wall.

The new owners are super nice, friendly, easy-going ! The prices are good and food amazing!! Thank you so much !! We definitely will be back sooooooon 🎉🎉

Not only have the prices increased, but the pizzas are no longer authentically Italian. They are smaller, the flavor of the pizza dough is lacking; it's not tasty at all, and we find it difficult to digest. We used to regularly order pizza when it was La Bottega. However, since the change in management, the direction of the restaurant has taken a disappointing turn. I understand that the goal is no longer to be an authentic Italian pizzeria, but I would strongly recommend staying true to the genuine Italian culinary experience if you are supposed to be an Italian restaurant. Otherwise, it's a significant letdown for those seeking a taste of Italy, and you are just presenting a facade. Additionally, I don't understand the business plan of the new management. This place already has a large customer base, both Italian and non-Italian, accustomed to quality. Why not take advantage of it and strive to continue satisfying them by maintaining the same level of quality and cuisine?

Excellent with new ownrrs providing the same good food and service. I look forward to seeing Olga develop the offerings.

Only Mauro was really Quick whit the customer today in the morning. Now after la bottega di Anna left they change as well quality of croassant for breakfast and they sell for same price of before .. really disappointed I’m not coming again here!
