Arcadia Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

No longer exists. No longer exists (at least in that location). Please let people know before they head there like we did.

The food here is wonderful, especially the pasta dishes. The decor is unusual--every square inch is painted in some sort of scene, but the effect is great fun and cozy. It is tucked away a bit, but once you find it you will become a regular.

We fortunately stumbled upon this restaurant whilst staying in the area. All staff were very attentive and pleasant. We both had fish as a main course and it was all very fresh and well cooked. I would definitely recommend you trying the fixed fish dish which was about £18.

Nos fuimos a cenar a este restaurante situado en Kensington High Street. Por supuesto hay algunos restaurantes cerca, pero con la sugerencia de mi amigo, decidimos ir a este restaurante, casi vacío. No nos gustó la comida que servían con mala actitud del personal.

My friend and I had lunch here, we also had my friends 3 month old baby with us. The food was delicious, I had risotto and my friend had chicken Caesar salad. Both were delicious, perfect portions. The staff were so helpful and keen to accommodate us with a baby and pram. We were made to feel very welcome and the baby was made a lovely fuss of,Manichaeism she loved !

Good location for good Italian food, served in a professional friendly way! It was a perfect farewell dinner at the end of a few enjoyable London days.

Last night we had a perfect dinner for two at Arcadia. Location is great ( High Street Kensington ), atmosphere is cosy and warm, staff very accommodating and above all food simply excellent. Well presented and high quality. Considering this location and the food quality, prices vere reasonable.

Quite centrally located.. did not like the decoration and atmosphere. Food is Okey.. not very different. Service is average...

Quirky restaurant with charm! Just had a simple pasta dish and bottle of wine. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The lunch time menu was reasonably priced. We would definitely return.

Un pintoresco restaurante buscando y que atrae a los turistas. Dudo que muchos lugareños volvería a no ser por la presentación. La comida era aceptable, pero puede mejorar en pequeñas porciones muchas cadenas de restaurantes. Sin embargo, el personal era muy bueno, amable y servicial. Las instalaciones son realmente en desventaja en el clima fresco ya que la puerta de apertura sin descanso constantemente llevan viento de dos y una mesa se desplaza la cena fría. No volvería.

Comida exquisita, preciosa.Encantador restaurante de ambiente con paredes pintadas, que da un toque italiano. Mesas con Manteles y servilletas de preciosa. El personal es magnífico, apropiadamente atento. Tuve la mozzarella, que era increíble, seguido de el limón pollo. Mi pareja, que era súper cursi carbonara. De ruibarbo era muy atractiva, con pequeñas piezas de ruibarbo. Precio muy bajo para la ubicación y el nivel de la comida. Volveré

Met friends for lunch before heading to the Royal Albert Hall. Friendly and attentive staff, authentic and delicious food. The pasta dishes were quite small, as you’d expect if pasta were a second course before a main, but with starter and pudding, felt sufficient for lunch. Not a cheap option but not outrageous either, especially bearing in mind the location.

Encontré este lugar por casualidad (tenía intención de ir a prezzo pero estaba lleno y Arcadia está enfrente de un pequeño callejón/patio). El personal era amable y eficiente, la comida era deliciosa, casa tradicional cocinado italiana, principalmente los precios eran razonables para la zona. Sin duda, el lugar ideal para antes o después de eventos Royal Albert Hall.

Abbiamo passato una seratamolto piacevole, ottimo il servizio, ottimo il cibo, se capiterò di nuovo a Londra, tornerò sicuramente!

Sono venuta a Londra più di una volta e penso che non smetterò mai di venire in questo ristorante!! Personale accogliente, anche italiano!! Cucina ottima!! Mi hanno fatto sentire a casa! Complimenti ragazzi! Consiglio il salmone!! Very good!!

Just walk in off the street as it looked so lovely from the outside. What a find. The food was really lovely and the staff were very attentive. I have the cod which was really light and full of favour. Can not receommen this place enough.

We had a great meal in this great little restaurant that is located on a side road of Kensington road.The service was very good.

We arrived between lunch and dinner but that made no difference at all. We were very warmly welcomed into an authentic looking Italian countryside dining room and treated exceptionally well. Our food was perfect and the wine excellent, so much so, we had another bottle! The service could not be faulted, right down to having our coats hung up for us, and everything was done by smiling and happy staff. I would definitely highly recommend this restaurant.PS They even have cloth napkins, so rare these days.

We arrived at Arcadia shortly after 8pm and wondered whether they were already closed. The entrance was dark and unwelcoming. After we took our seats, it was an age before we were offered any water. For some reason our waitress found the idea of some having sparkling and some having still water very confusing and a comedy of errors ensued. Food was just about OK, but nothing to write home about. After our mains, even though the restaurant was empty aside from us (a sign?) there was no attempt to offer a dessert menu. In fact the waitress approached our table with menus and then turned on her heel. Ten minutes later, we had to request the dessert menu. The ambience seemed depressed and depressing and I certainly felt that there were other places I’d rather dine in future. I won’t be going back in a hurry.

I've had lunch on a grey Tuesday afternoon and can definitely say the beautiful colours of the dishes brightened up my day! The portions are consistent, got also surprised by the cleanliness of the toilets. Would say worth it!!

Such a gem of a restaurant - wonderful murals on the walls of the delights of a forest, very friendly service, delicious food, very good wines. We came here with some very old friends - we last came to the same restaurant about ten hears ago - with the same friends! - and we had such a very good evening.

We had an Opentable dining cheque which the restaurant refused to take. The restaurant is not listed on the website as not accepting the cheques and the confirmation email did not state this either. I suggested that they rang Opentable but they refused to do this. The mackerel was presented lukewarm which the waitress seemed surprised about but nothing was done.

Great restaurant in High Street Kensington! Absolutely delicious food, a great menu and really great service! Staff are so friendly! Will be back soon!

Could not believe the slow service. We waited and waited and did not understand how they screwed it up. Not going back

Came here for a late lunch .decided on the 2 courses for £10.95 excellent value.Bruschetta was lovely , tomatoes very flavoursome , simple dish , but one that can disappoint.Main course spaghetti again v nice .Surprised with some of the negative reviews , location and staff excellent.Would recommend and return .

We should have realised as we were the only couple in this restaurant that it was going to be rubbish.. And it was .. Food dull tasteless and presentation awful. Staff okay but far too expensive for very low standard ..suprised it stays open in this location .. Sure that they have no return customers

Charming interior with murals and hand painted mirrors. Food great. I think my table were the only non-Italian guests in the house. My new local fav.

Over the past 15 years Arcadia has been a hit for lunch or dinner..A good almost neighbourhood style but excellent cicina...

Enjoyed an excellent lunch at an outside table. Can't fault the food or the service but it was rather expensive, particularly for the miniscule portions of expensive vegetable "optional add-ons" which are needed but some of which wouldn't even satisfy a five year olds appetite.. Nevertheless I would go there again, my steak was fantastic.

I have been to this restaurant a year ago, the food and service were very good.Been to this restaurant today for a late lunch.We took the cheap 2 courses menu for £10,95.Sounds cheap but actually far too expensive for what it is.- 3 slices of tasteless tomatoes with a bit of pesto and a Buffalo- a very small portion of Gnocchis, no flavour, no texture, absolutely revolting.The restaurant is not clean, the toilets are not clean, the service is Ok.Never again.My worst experience in 23years in London.Sorry for this awful review but today I am really upset with this experience.

Estávamos passando no primeiro dia emLondres e avistamos em uma travessa , entramos e comemos dois pratos , um Carbonara é uma carne , muito bom e o lugar muito aconchegante tb muito rápido os pratos e os garçons atenciosos!! Preço barato tb !

This restaurant is right next door to Cote Brasserie where we had booked, however on a wet evening we entered the wrong door into Arcadia restaurant. Even though they had no reservation with my name, and I asked why the menu was Italian rather than French, they didn't advise us of our mistake.However, the food and wine was very good although very expensive for what it was; we re-booked Cote Brasserie for the following night (they were very understanding and I think this has happened regularly).

Good service, fast and friendly, The waitress "eleonora" was very helpful with us and nice.The food is amazing.....I had a lovely fettuccine salmone e scampi :) Everything was very good!!!Would definitely go back next time in London.

Sono stato qui con un amico, il locale ha il suo tempo, ma, è molto accogliente.il cibo era ottimo dal antipasto al dolce,senza dimenticare l'amaro, e soprattutto tutto italiano senza mezze misure ,come se fossimo a casa.ottima carta dei vini neanche tanto cara.Siamo stati seguiti da Eleonora, come un ottima padronanza di casa ci ha servito con maestria e gentilezza.

I enjoyed my dinner at Arcadia. Nice ambience, quick service and very attentive staff. Had a first course, some grilled vegetable and dessert, food was very good.

Abbiamo trovato questo ristorante non lontano dal nostro hotel e dopo giorni di hamburger, Fish & chips abbiamo deciso di cambiare. Il locale è molto carino con specchi e pareti affrescati con motivi floreali. Atmosfera inizio 900. Il personale è molto gentile e attento alle esigenze dei clienti. Parlano italiano quindi per le ordinazioni non esiste alcun problema. Il cibo è veramente ottimo e presentato molto bene. Tutto gustoso con prodotti di buona qualità.

I have been a customer for over 10 years and always enjoyed it and returning. I went last Wednesday with my wife and we both were hugely disappointed. We had tasteless seafood pasta, they used to come with octopus and calamari, not this time. The gravy was tasteless and the pasta themselves far too well done. We mentioned it to the waiter who said there was a new team in place and that not every chef can master Italian cooking, nice! Lastly we decided to share our favourite Tiramisu, again huge disappointment, no taste full of wet mascarpone, served in a water glass. We mentioned our disappointment to the staff, who didn't even dare proposing to offer a coffee to us. Won't get back!

First time to this restaurant. We decided to support a small restaurant versus a chain restaurant.Orders a vegetarian platter to share. It contained 10 pieces of vegetables at a cost of £14.The meat eaters had a larger starter at half the price.The main courses were just as bad. The seabass was a single side of fish with green beans at cost of £15.75.I ordered a vegetarian spaghetti. The portion size was the same as the side dish for the chicken dish.I would not recommend this restaurant unless you are a carnivores. Vegetarians and fish eaters avoid unless you have a very, very small appetite and want to waste your money on tiny portions.

Consiglio questo ristorante siamo stati qui con la mia famiglia e finalmente posso dire di aver mangiato italiano ristorante di classe media quindi superiore al turistico questo vuol dire che per una Londra cara il prezzo da pagare è giusto per la qualità del prodotto consigliato a chi vuole mangiare italiano e bene personale efficiente e preparato.

I went to Arcadia a few years ago and, although the staff were quite random, the food was great. This time I ordered the Caprese and the Spaghetti Carbonara. It might have been my fault, but there was nothing more than average about either of the dishes.

It was a wonderful evening, the food was excellent, great cocktails, lovely and attentive service. It's an Authentic Italian restaurant in high street Kensington. I will came back soon

We ate here because we couldn't get a table for four in nearby venues, this hound have told us something! One had chicken with a side of pasta, the pasta did not arrive so she had to eat her chicken whilst it was hot and then the pasta when it arrived. One had pasta with salmon and languistines - the linguistines were pathetic and had no flesh in the tails. I would have thought they were illlegal, size wise! Another of us had cod, which was a chunky piece of fish, hence the problem as the thickest part it was raw and inedible. We did tell the staff about the pasta and the languishing without effect. We did note the 12.5% service charge and we elected not to pay it.

Ottimo sotto ogni aspetto: dalla disponibilità e cordialità dei camerieri alla qualità del cibo veramente italiano non solo nel nome ma anche nella sostanza.Accogliente il locale ,prezzo nella media della "cara" Londra ma se non altro ricompensato dalla qualità.

Bellissimo posto molto buono e il personale è molto qualificato.porzioni abbondanti molto cortesi lo consiglio a tutti .

Si mangia benissimo molto cordiali e il cibo ottimo fresco in cucina sicuramente il personale è molto qualificato ottimo lo consiglio.

Eravamo io e la mia ragazza abbiamo ordinato dei tortelli ai funghi e una gligliata x due tutto davvero ottimo... buon servizio e anche una buona carta di vini.Ci ritorneremo.....

Siamo stati a cena in questo ristorante italiano perché ho seguito i consigli degli altri utenti di tripadvidor e devo dire davvero GRAZIE!! Non mangiavo così bene a Londra da anni....sopratutto trovare un ristorante di cucina italiana Originale! Un menù superiore a tanti altri ristoranti italiani a Londra..la qualità è davvero eccellente e squisita. Ho chiesto del cuoco e mi è stato detto che sono tutti italiani e che avevano cambiato tutto lo staff di cucina da poco..i miei più sinceri complimenti a tutti compreso il personale di sala tutti gentili e professionali. Vi consiglio la grigliata di pesce! Fresco abbondante e deliziosa! E per finire un tiramisù davvero SUPER! Ci tornerò molto presto e se avete voglia di ottimo cibo italiano...questo è sicuramente il posto giusto a Londra.

Abbiamo trovato questo ristorante per caso. Siamo stati accolti con gentilezza e professionalità ! Ci hanno portato il menù e ci hanno detto che avevano da qualche giorno un nuovo menù, un nuovo chef e un nuovo staff di cucina. Abbiamo ordinato un fritto misto e una quinoa salad... Eccellenti! Non ho mai mangiato un fritto misto così buono... il tonno in crosta di pistacchio con guacamole era fantastico e I tortelli ai funghi con tartufo fresco fantastici. Anche i dessert ottimi, arcadia moon incredibile con due mousse di pistacchio e nocciola e un tiramisù perfetto. Hanno anche una buona carta dei vini con i vini italiani più famosi. Devo dire che tornerò spesso in questo ristorante perché è il migliore in cui ho mangiato a Londra fino ad oggi!! Lo consiglio a tutti se volete mangiare veramente bene Arcadia e il ristorante giusto ..!

Had a quiet dinner with some friends last evening at Arcadia, our first time and found it to be a charming Italian with a cosy interior and friendly staff. The food wasn't vast but had a good variety. We had the seabass, spaghetti carbonara and tortelloni, The pasta was freshly made which was nice. It wasn't a noisy place so it was good for conversations. Recommended.

As on my previous visits, everything was good: food, service, welcome, choice, decor and location. These comments are endorsed by the friend with whom I was dining prior to attending that evening's Promenade concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

I came here for my boyfriend birthday , had an amazing dining experience from start to finish.The food was great and the staff is friendly and informative.If you are looking for one of the best dining experiences in London this is it.Highly recommend!

The restaurant has to compete with three chain restaurants next to it, which must be hard. However the 12.5% service charge on the bill (no prior notice of that one) was a put off. The restaurant produced very good quality starters, and then it was like they realised they had surpassed themselves so the main courses were very small and bland. My wife ordered a cod main dish, and the cod consisted of a few flakes. The service and food were not worth the 12.5% (1980's style price hiking) charge.we paid and left. Disappointing as we want to support family businesses.

Pra quem estiver andando na movimentada Kensington, ele fica em uma travessa fechada para o trânsito. Bom custo beneficio. Não tem menu de crianças, mas tem boas opções.

We were staying just a little way up the road, and following a day at Wimbledon, we called in here to see if they had any tables. We'd spotted the restaurant the day before, as it's tucked away off the High Street, amongst other more well known chain restaurants. It's a small restaurant with tables outside, as well as inside and there appears to be more tables downstairs. It's spotlessly clean.There was just one table left and we were very pleased - we'd had a very long hot day! The staff were lovely, very attentive and helpful. We didn't have a stranger, just a main and dessert with a bottle of wine, coffee and liqueurs/brandy. The main courses we chose were both excellent. I had sea bass with ratatouille and a side of sautéed potatoes, my husband had duck breast, changing the mashed potatoes for roast. Both were very well cooked and presented, and extremely tasty.For dessert, I had tiramisu and my husband had an almond Semifreddo. Again, both were delicious. The bill came to around £100, including service charge, which was very reasonable for the location. Highly recommended!

I remember going to this restaurant 15 years ago - it seems to have been there forever. Great location off Kensington High Street. Met up with some friends in the area and we all had very good meals BUT the decor was unchanged and dilapidated. The paint was chipped and peeling and even some mould coming through in one area. Such a shame. Not easy to understand why the owners don't smarten it up. I would have given it 4 stars but for the shabbiness.

Came across this Restaurant on way to the Royal Albert Hall and what a lovely surprise it was!I ordered a Rib-Eye Steak and it was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s and so HUGE, I wasn't able to do it justice.My friend ordered the Fish selection and that too was a huge portion, she wasn't able to finish.Beautifully, polite, friendly staff and very reasonable prices.This is a gem of a find.

Scoperto per caso durante una giornata di shopping con il sole, abbiamo mangiato all'aperto ed abbiamo gustato davvero una ottima cucina italiana tradizionale ma curata sia nella scelta che nella preparazione dei piatti. Andavamo di fretta e non abbiamo assaggiato i primi. Antipasto di salumi e formaggi tradizionale per me e parmigiana di melanzane per mio marito, il tutto accompagnato da un buon calice di bianco italiano. Conto di ritonarci la prossima volta che andrò a Londra per provare anche gli altri piatti. Il servizio molto rapido e cortese.

We came across this typical Italian restaurant by going out after the Albert Hall theater. You will feel immediately welcomed by the typical Italian warmth, great ambience, new Italian music, and Italian staff. We ate almost everything fish based on two appetizers, two mains and two desserts, half a bottle of red, water, coffee and digestive, for a total of 80 pounds per two. Fresh fish, like all other ingredients, Italian portions and Italian flavor. Congratulations to our Serena waitress who recommended us the dishes. I recommend a visit to anyone who wants to eat well !!

Enjoyed a lovely osso buco served with a lovely bit of risotto. Very tastey, beautiful veal - yum! Lovely wine and my colleague enjoyed a fine meal too we both enjoyed the tiramisu. Funky 70s decor! A great location for dinner. I will be back.

We visited Arcadia for the first time last monthWe thought it looked cute and authentic When we arrived we noticed that they had 2 offers on the board Hanging outsideOne for two courses at £10.95And the other for 3 courses at £13.95We asked if we could have this offer and the waiter looked at his watch and said 'yes'We thought it was an offer that had to be taken before a certain time of the day at no point did the waiter say that we had to order from a special set menuWe ordered insalata tricolore and soup to startThe soup was very nice , the tricolore which consisted of buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and avocado The bits of tomato was roughly chopped and the avocado was barely visible For Mains we had spaghetti tomato , which I asked the waiter if it was ok for me to have and my husband had the sea bassBoth were nice , but when the pasta arrived I commented to my husband that it was a very small portion We both agreed that it was probably due to the deal for the 2 or three courses We decided to go for the three courses so had desert , which was the lemon tart, nice but literally a slither , so smallThat cost us £9.90So then the bill comes, we were charged £62.70 When we asked the waiter why we hadn't been charged for the. 3 courses as per the board, he told us we hadn't ordered from The correct menuHe then say says we can have one person on the deal and goes to speak to the manager who informs us that we can't have it as we didn't order from the correct menu, that was conveniently right at the back of them menu book after the starters, mains, desserts and drinks The attitude of the staff was awful, it felt that we had been deliberately mislead The food was ok , very average , very small portions And we would definitely not return to this average , unpleasant Restaurant

We wondered into this restaurant of Kensington high street for a lunch bite.The staff was rude to us from the start and through out the visit.I ordered the chicken and received a microscopic portion with some undercooked potatoes. My wife ordered pasta a la Norma and what came was a miserable plate of pasta that was so chewy it felt like gum and 3 petite slices of aubergine on the side. She left hers untouched and when we asked for the bill, the food was simply taken from our table with no questions regarding satisfaction and we were changed the full amount of our order.To call this food Italian is a true insult to Italian cuisine.

My husband and I went to Arcadia to celebrate our one year anniversary and we couldn't be happier. As we arrived the table that they reserved for us was a very good one, by the window. Staff was really friendly and helpful, they made us feel comfortable. The food was exactly what we expected and the tiramisu was perfect! And a plus is that picture taken inside the restaurant look great! :)

We thought we would try an independent in Kensington so popped into Archafia, it was 3 courses for £13.95 which is pretty average for lunch in the area. The portions were very small although had a really nice flavour. However the staff could not be more rude if they tried, we were more of an inconvenience than anything else it seemed. Noticed that it had a 3* food hygiene rating and that's the most stars they'll be getting I imagine. I don't recommend in the slightest. Stick to Prezzo!

Food was ok, nothing more than average and the portions were exceptionally small, though it is 2 courses for £11 in central London so it's not that irritating. However the staff were incredibly dismissive, to the point where I actually found it offensive. Food was plonked infront of whoever they wanted to give it to, correct order or not and condescending glares were more abundant than a simple "how is your meal?". I can only assume they prefer wealthier patrons, and like to make this very clear, based on their own ignorant assumptions. It was either this or plain and simple rudeness. Unfortunately, due to this, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Turist trap. Small portions. We saw no trace of the bacon that säd suppose tp be in the meal. However it tasted alright. The staff säd quick and attentive but more in a way to get us away from the table quick so someone else could get it. That was inspite that we actually were not sitting for very long. The staff was the opposite to charming. Gloomy and unpersonal. On top of that they over charged us without an excuse.

Ate here yesterday as a 4, very enjoyable food, some of the best pasta I have ever had. Amazing staff and a real authentic Italian experience. Ciao

This is a small place just west of Hyde park on the south end. Really enjoyed our meal. Not busy the Sunday evening we were there and so we felt like there were a lot of waiters and staff hanging around with not much to do. We would recommend.

I recently visited Arcadia once again after a long time. Nothing has changed when it comes to food and service. Food was absolutely amazing. I had burrata and tomato as a started, homemade chestnut pasta with mushrooms and truffle oil and delicious Tiramisu for dessert. As the biggest dessert lover I can say that Tiramisu was extraordinary, so fluffy in texture and very, very delicious. Also, I have to mention their homemade bread. It is so fresh and delicious, would absolutely recommend it to everyone. The service is excellent, waiters speak fluent Italian, they are very friendly and professional. You will always be greeted as an old friend.Overall, It was a great experience and I will definitely be back very soon!

Se vi siete stufati del cibonifico inglese e avete nostalgia dei ns. gusti vi consiglio una bella cena in questo locale. L'ambiente è molto particolare con specchi e tutti i muri decorati molto piacevole. Il cibo ottimo e fresco e il personale molto gentile. Ambiente rilAssante ed accogliente.

Having made a reservation at Arcadia on the strength of OpenTable reviews I am delighted to enhance its reputation with a glowing review of my own. Dining on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was relatively quite and provided an ideal and quirky (decor)venue for a catchup with my son. In my opinion, the three things that make a great dining experience are great food (langoustine fettuccine and osso bucco were excellent), great service (our waitress Eleanora couldn't have been more accommodating), and a sense of not being rushed (having asked not to be rushed, the intervals between courses were perfect and we could have spent all evening at our table should we have wished). Well done Arcadia. We will certainly return.

Love this placeGreat food amazing serviceWill definitely be back hereHad such a great nite Thanks allot guys

Wandering around the area for somewhere to eat we could have chosen tried and tested and well known - instead we went to Arcadia and I am really pleased we did. Friendly attentive staff, nice ambiance a decent house wine and crucially great food. I had Chicken & spaghetti millanaise - moist chicken covered in crispy breadcrumb - fabulous! They make their own pasta and it's delicious as I discovered with my spaghetti. So my advice is go there if you are in the area and I know you will have a lovely meal and experience

Pleasant enough, but extremely small portions.The lemon tart was bland , told the waiter but not too interested

My Italian friend recommend this restaurant as it's his favorite Italian restaurant in London. Conveniently located walking distance from the High Street Kensington tube station, the food here was delicious. Service was provided by caring servers who spoke fluent Italian.

Ligger i Kensington, koselig restaurant og med avslappet atmosfære. Maten var god og det var en hyggelig betjening.

I recently visited Arcadia, the portions were on the small side as I got the spaghetti bolognese with cod, however the food was great so did make up for this. I also had the cheesecake which was perfect so Arcadia is somewhere I will be returning to soon!

Accidentally stumbled on Arcadia looking for Prezzo. So much better. Friendly, with a great atmosphere. Not cheap at £83 for two of us but we did have 3 courses plus coffee and a glass of wine.The food was as close to perfect as I have found. Portions fair and service immaculate with a real smile. The tomatoes and avocados were perfectly ripe and at room temperature. A mixed fish grill was heavenly. Even the house red was a better than expected mellow pleasure.I don't mind paying when the food is such good quality and the environment so relaxing. The only slight drawback is the dated decor but that really feels like nitpicking!

Visited for a late lunch on Mother's Day. Beautiful decor and charming, efficient service. Food was of a standard that you would expect to receive in Italy and the wine list was impressive, including my favourite from a recent trip to Italy. My new favourite restaurant in this area!

We visited here on a Sunday afternoon. It was a toss up between here and the Italian restaurant, which was part of a chain opposite. This looked interesting and we liked the decor. The staff were pleasant and we were soon served. There was a set, but quite limited menu, which we opted for. It was interesting viewing the many paintings on the walls. We were happy with the food for what we paid and would visit again.

What a lovely evening, great food lovely place and the staff really nice. Perfect place to eat before going to the Royal Albert Hall for a great evening of culture.

Arcadia restaurant is in the beautiful surroundings of Kensington. The restaurant itself is also very beautiful with many paintings hanging on the wall. The service was avarage although it took a bit of time for someone to serve us. The first course was very good as it was the soup of the day. The second course, a gnocchi was very bad actually. Bitter taste and cold mozzarella on top. Could not finish the plate. Good price overall food for the set menu

Decoracion y cocina exquisita , un local que guarda el encanto de los restaurantes de antaño con cocina tradicional italiana , no confundir con pizzería es algo más refinado .Si tenéis la suerte de encontraros con el dueño Vicente os contará mil aventuras del londres de hace años mientras tomáis sus deliciosos postres

Had a two-course lunch at Arcadia, haddock and cheesecake. Tasted very good, were beautifully presented and the service was inpeccable. But the portions were very small indeed. So if you are very hungry, you may want to reconsider.

Teniamos entradas para el Royal Albert Hall y nos lo encontramos en el camino. Seguimos las recomendaciones que había en TripAdvisor y acierto pleno, solo un pelin caro. Muy rica la ensalada de pollo y el risotto, también él raviolis del chef. Triunfo el postre, prueben el tiramisu.

The home made pasta dishes are the best I have tasted outside Italy. I had mussels to start with followed by gnocchi - excellent. All the rest of my party also commented how good it was. Staff very friendly and helpful. 15% service charge but worth it.

We ate here early evening before going to the Albert Hall and were given a table upstairs which was near the window. Pleasant atmosphere, décor colour was darkish but this added to the ambience. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was good. Recommended and within 5 - 10 minutes walk of the Albert Hall.

Early evening, the first diners. Prawns as a starter. Very overcooked to the point of disintegration swimming in a bowl of melted butter dressed with slivers of garlic. No finger bowl. No lemon. Main course passable but bok choi served as 3 little white stumps.!!! White wine very warm, we had to ask for ice to cool it (and water it) down. My husband said his meal acceptable but did nothing to live up to the beautiful décor Whilst wine only £22.00 the bill of £83.00 did not represent an enjoyable two courses. If you want to try and enjoy Italian food I would suggest Prezzo opposite.

Unfortunately our meal started badly as our preferred prebooked table had been commandeered by the "owners" that inevitably made us question their priorities and their commitment to their customers. The staff were obviously embarrassed and did their best to settle us at an alternate table they had reserved.The upstairs restaurant has a cozy if a little kitsch style but with a fun ambiance. There is a large restaurant extension downstairs but it seemed a little soulless. The food however was good with a full range of Italian favourites. The bean soup was particularly delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful which contributed together with the food and ambiance to, on reflection, a fun evening out but given other options (see separate reviews) not a likely repeat.....

Beautiful restaurant, very helpful and friendly staff. Read through previous reviews and thought would be a good place to eat after theatre - excellent choice as we aren't keen on chain restaurants. Food was delicious, my husband had the osso bucco which he said was very tasty I opted for the sea bass with couscous. Visit slightly spoilt by being charged for bottle of wine when I only had one glass but soon corrected. We would certainly like to return when next in the area, and this time I will have the osso bucco!

We included some friends so there were four, we were given a good table and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Bien que du coté de Portobello, ce restaurant qui pourrait être attractif est mauvais. Le british cheese burger ne vaut en aucun cas le détour... Personnel accueillant mais restaurant pas très "clean"

Dined there as a group of 8 with USA friends. I found the place a bit too dark & a little hard to find on the 1st visit.Welcome was warm & service to a table of 8 very good.I had swordfish & my wife had halibut both of which were VERY good. Would I return?? Maybe, but the lack of a disabled toilet on the same floor is a major concern as the loos are down a steep & difficult staircase.The room & the menus were well worn & a bit grubby, but the food was good.

We have eaten at Arcadia Restaurant in Kensington before and our second visit wasn't a disappointment. Lovely food, friendly welcoming staff and great atmosphere. We would recommend this restaurant, if you are looking for enjoyable food in a quirky setting.

On a été le 24 décembre et l'accueil était super sympa, restauration très correct avec prix sympa sur Londres

Ottimo ristorante trovato per caso prima di andare a visitare Kensington Palace e scelto da mia figlia mentre passavamo davanti alle vetrine. Già entrando nel ristorante il piacevole profumo di piatti ben preparati ti accoglie. Abbiamo infatti gustato due squisiti primi di pesce e per mia figlia abbiamo scelto il menù a due portate (anche in questo caso sia la zuppa sia gli gnocchetti sono stati graditi ).Solitamente siamo scettici ai ristoranti Italiani all'estero, ma qui gli italiani ci sono davvero e sanno come preparare bene le pietanze.

Sehr intimes Restaurant mit schöner und geschmackvollen Dekoration. Hochwertige Küche zu fairen Preisen. Okay, in Italien wäre es zu teuer, aber hier in London passend. Wir hatten 3 Gerichte, alle wirklich lecker und ausgewogen. Hier kann man die Hektik Londons hinter sich lassen. Sehr nette Bedienung.

Thanks to the team for taking care of us drunken mon-kies!! We had a great time & lucky to find you by chance, sitting over the street from the chain diner that is Prezzo - you made a refreshing change!! Ten out of ten!

Plats de bonne qualité et gustativement bon mais sans plus. Prix abordables mais plats vraiment peu copieux. Nous n'avons pas ete traitées au meme pied d'égalité que les autres clients (nous n'avons pas les meme moyens) ce qui nous laisse un goût amer ...

Very friendly attentive staff and great food reasonably priced.

Fabulous food and excellent customer service. Went here Dec 12th with three friends and would highly recommend
