brutti & boni - Bottega Contemporanea in Kensington and Chelsea

I just went this morning. The doors were locked and windows were papered up. It seems they’ve closed down.

Je moet het even weten te vinden, en de zaak is maar klein. Maar.... Wat een heerlijke koffie hebben ze hier. En terwijl je er dan toch bent, neem een stukje chocolade taart. Klein buurtcafé, met veel Italiaanse buurtgenoten die hier hun koffie en broodje komen halen. Qua inrichting niet het meest sfeervol, maar koffie en ontbijt zijn prima en de ontvangst super gastvrij.

Lovely coffee and outstanding food. Such a good atmosphere, trendy place! Will be telling all my friends about you. Can’t wait to come again

Il miglior cibo italiano a Londra.

The food is good, especially the pasta, service is good. Nice atmosphere for families or friends. Will visit again next time.

Lugar fantástico donde degustar auténtica (increíble pero cierto! Comida de la Toscana y vinos) en el centro de Londres. Gran ambiente y muy buen servicio, que sin duda se merece más de una visita si realmente desea probar algo finalmente original. Y finalmente los tomates tomates, gustos y aceite de oliva en su mejor momento. Ve y disfruta!

great authentic Italian flavors! you can see the quality is first choice and real. I wish a place like this existing in New York City!

Qui troverete davvero cibo e sapori italiani a differenza di altri ristoranti che di italiano hanno solo la scritta sull'insegna!! ;) abbiamo mangiato benissimo e ci siamo sentiti veramente a casa, grazie anche al titolare Luca che è stato attento, gentilissimo e ospitale! Ottimo

Coffee is not as good as it used to be... and I should have had more than 1000 coffees here by now. I think is also a bit overpriced. Regular locals are top notch.

Qué gran hallazgo. Aunque este establecimiento normalmente cierra a las 6 pm se abren para nosotros para disfrutar de una cena encantadora antes de ir al Albert Hall. (me había llamado a este era posible con anterioridad. )

Nuestro primer día en Londres paramos un bocado de la tarde para comer en este pequeño restaurante italiano en Kensington. Nuestros sándwiches caprese eran tan buenas volvimos para cenar un par de noches más tarde. Mi esposa tenía la Caprese de nuevo y yo tuvimos una maravillosa pasta a la boloñesa. El servicio era atento y precios de la comida y el vino eran razonables. Sin duda merece la pena una visita.

Incredible authentic bare bones no fuss Italian meal in the posh Kensington neighborhood. Great wines and a selection of fresh and delicious pastas, meats and cheeses. A very genuine Florentine dining experience, the staff is very attentive and available and the owner Luca is a total gentleman, will give you great recommendations and personally make sure your meal is perfectly tailored to you. Definitely make sure you check out brutti & boni. 5/5.

Having booked tickets for a matinée performance at The Royal Albert Hall, we decided to have a light lunch at this café beforehand, as it's less than a 10 minute walk away, yet away from the pre show crowds. The menu focuses on a range of Italian specialities - my wife and I shared the wild boar tortellini and an antipasti board, which were both delicious, freshly made and efficiently served. For those who don't have time for a sit down lunch, there is a delicatessen on site, with a wide range of mostly savoury treats that looked very appetising. Recommend.

Stopped by for breakfast following the reviews. Excellent choice if pastries. Took tuna focaccia, orange juice and coffee. All was perfect and delicious. The price was good. A very nice place.

Locale molto carino e tipicamente dal sapore italiano, sito nella splendida zona di South Kensington, a pochi passi da Hyde Park. La mia esperienza si limita al caffè (di gran lunga il miglior espresso che ho mai bevuto a Londra), ma sono presenti anche una vasta gamma di prodotti tipici italiani di alta qualità. Personale italiano molto gentile e disponibile. Consigliato per chi vuole concedersi una pausa autenticamente italiana.

Delicious pasta and nice coffee. All three of us really enjoyed the experience. Staff are very friendly. Will definitely come back.

Brutti & boni ha un locale piccolo e raccolto ma molto accogliente e, per noi toscani, sembra di stare a casa propria da come vieni messo a tuo agio. I prodotti sono tutti di ottima qualità e gli italiani che anche all'estero amano mangiare come nella loro nazione qui non avranno delusioni. Il personale merita una speciale segnalazione: gentilissimi!!!Perfetto sia per un pranzo veloce o per una cena con taglieri assortiti e primi, sicuramente ci torneremo.

Fabulous pasta, our 3 kids aged almost 3 - 17 loved it as well. Tortellini was perfect, pesto became 1 of my daughters favourites from our visit ( although she hasn't had any as good since our visit).Small place but full of character.Chain restaurants don't come close to compare.

Good serviceGood recomendations (chocolate cake and pasta gorgonzola)Good aranciataGood Coffee...you need it in London

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, really friendly, lots of fresh food to choose. We loved the ham and cheese croissants and my daughter loved her freshly squeezed apple juice . Great value and service.

I am told the food here is good, and maybe it is, but when we arrrived for a pre-theatre supper, booked on Facebook (which is all they offer), they were just closing, having decided to close an hour eartly. I booked in November for a 6pm supper on 22nd December, and recieved confirmation via facebook (good response at the time). But when we arrived they denied any booking, and although apologised that did not really solve my problem. I had picked them especially to demonstrate good italian cooking to my guests, who were as you can imagine not impressed.

I have to say, it's been a couple of years since I've been there... but I STILL have dreams about the food, the ambience and the wine! I hope to go back some day! Do not miss out on this if you are in London, and just say yes to any suggestion they give you!

位於海德公園附近，方便，容易到達。意大利餐廳雖然地方細小，但食材新鮮上乘，廚師廚藝精緻巧手，完美速食組合。

As an Italian I often get my fair share of cravings. I was craving lasagna and thank god I found this place. This lasagna taste's just like my grandma's cooking. Congratz!!

A cena con un'amica londinese, sono rimasto colpito dalla gentilezza del personale. E' raro trovarla soprattutto negli innumerevoli ristorantacci italiani. Ecco qui sembra di essere a casa. Gli ingredienti sono freschi e genuini, soprattutto gli affettati ed i formaggi. Fidatevi! Questa è gente x bene. Un saluto alla dolcissima ragazza di Gubbio. Unica pecca: lo spazio ed il fatto che ad un certo punto hanno spento il riscaldamento ed aperto la porta d'entrata facendoci congelare...Non era tanto tardi. Ce ne andavamo lo stesso. Comunque bravi e coraggiosi.

In vacanza a Londra per una settimana, mi è capitato di girare molto alla ricerca di posti dove potersi affidare al gusto italiano vero, e non quello taroccato, che è sempre più diffuso. Vi assicuro di essere rimasto favorevolmente colpito da questo piccolo ristorante. Un vero angolo del gusto, dove poter assaporare piatti e sapori veramente deliziosi, abbinati a garbo, gentilezza e simpatia, assai rare di questi tempi. Venti posti a sedere offerti in un piccolo ambiente retrostante. Materie prime di qualità, pasta, olio, sughi, salse, vino, che arrivano periodicamente dalla Toscana e vengono utilizzati per preparare e servire ai clienti primi piatti e dolci della cucina italiana. Ho scelto un tagliere misto di salumi e formaggi, accompagnato da un'ottima focaccia calda, una bufala con pomodorini e rucola e una cacio e pepe con pasta corta. Tutto buonissimo. Gradita sorpresa nel finale, quando ci veniva offerto un originale sorbetto con pezzetti di ananas e finocchio in un bicchierino di anice stellato. Una vera finezza ! Conto incredibilmente onesto, considerando la media di Londra. Potete fidarvi ad occhi chiusi !

catch up on all the daily gossip at this local coffee shop... imported meats and cheeses, baked on site breads and pastries, tasty up market sandwiches... some patio tables and chairs... friendly staff are the finish touch

This is a small deli shop, with a few tables. We had a very early dinner, as it was opened only until 7.00PM. The dishes were good and tasted as they should (not the English interpretation). The pasta has been well prepared, which is difficult to find in London. The service has been friendly, but had a note of improvisation. In conclusion, if you want a little bit of true Italian flavors, in an unsophisticated setting, this is the place. In Italy it would have been rated as average, but in London, it is a rarity.

Our favourite and lovely coffe of everyday, It's a must to come hear and try the coffee and the food, but the best part of it it's the service provided by Pamela and Francesca always with the biggest smile no matter what.

The food is amazing! it's difficult to find real and delicious italian food in London, however Brutti & Boni exceed my expectation. Staff are welcoming in particular Francesco and Massimo and the atmosphere is cosy. You can taste the freshness of the food and drink the real italian coffee. My favoutites are: pasta with pesto, tortellini with ragù, lasagne, focaccia, cheese and cold cuts. Basically everything!! I've been there a few times, also with my parents that are italian and they said "We feel like we are in Italy".

Brutti and Boni is a cozy neighborhood cafe/restaurant which serves simple,but very good and real Italian food. I've been here twice and before had pasta which was very delicious.This time I was in a hurry therefore had their salami and cheese sandwich and it was a real treat. Salami was so good( should try their deli platter next time). Of course, we should not forget to mention their cappuccino, it's exactly how it should be, not very milky or too cold or too hot, I promise you will like it.The service was O.K., but not extraordinary unfortunately ( I'm comparing with my previous visit) . It seemed to me that the waitress was either new or tired . Anyway, I still think it's a good place and I would definitely recommend it. By the way, you can buy some real Italian products there: pasta, olive oil, balsamico etc.

Confermo. Cucina buona con ingredienti importati dalla toscana. Pochissimi posti a sedere. Noi siamo venuti per la pausa pranzo. Simpatici e cordiali i giovani gestori.

Went on saturday lunch 3 people1. All the pasta (Boar sauce tortellini and OG lasagna) were too salty and it is a shame to realize the saltiness basically masks the unique flavors and downgrades to a salty pasta dish most restaurant can make, not sure if its a 10+ quid pasta worthy.2. The brown bread they give is fantastic chewy and toasty, but when we ordered more bread, they gave a white bread which gets hard like breadstick when cooled (keep in mind)3. The assorted plate appetizer is alright, just alrightOverall, it has potentials but a little less on the salt for pasta (if we want it salty, we can add more salt) and the assorted-plate of meat and cheese (size of a med cutting board) is questionable if its 12quid but the food is just "alright", but considering its SK area, thats up to your decision to find it worth the money. Not me at least.Id give it an average if it wasnt the SK premium, but with this price and food quality I wont be going back

Mangiato dei buoni primi piatti in un locale un po' angusto. Personale gentile. In zona non vi sono molte alternative cheaper ne' catene, quindi direi che sia una buona opzione.

Used to be a wonderful neighbourhood deli and coffee hangout. One of the best additions to Gloucester Road in recent years. The food was tasty and the service was always friendly, efficient and welcoming. But times have changed. The original team seem to have all gone and the service now is chaotic and lacking in any warmth. The deli food menu has been simplified and whilst still good, lacks that special something. If the original team are still around, please get a grip quickly !

Boring selection of dishes, bellow avarage taste and small portions. Pasta Was very salty and salad was nothing to write about. Nothing to come for.

We walked in following our gut feeling and we were not disappointed. I had absolutely delicious focaccia with tuna, tomato e mayo, and my daughter had a slice of pizza. The cappuccino was absolute perfection: nothing bitter about it, only velvety smoothness! The Italian staff know what they are doing. I saw plates of pasta going past me, everything looking very enticing. Would very warmly recommend.Italiani, fidatevi!

Yes, the service is extremly nice, helpful and fast. Yes, it's high-quality and real italian. But: The serving sizes are real small. So, if you are just having a date or just want to taste some real italian food, go there. If you are hungry, go somewhere else.

A small dining facility at the back of a Deli counter. Great decoration and ambiance. The staff are friendly and efficient. The menu is limited to pasta and salads as main courses and supplemented with 3 or 4 special dishes. The pasta is excellent but the portions are small. Great juices, great coffee and what looks like (we did not try any) great deserts - again with very limited choice. Great place for lunch.

We chose Brutti&boni due to the positive reviews through TripAdvisor. Food was good, but we were disappointed of the wine list - first of all the list was very short, maybe 7 red wines on the list, but eventually they only had three to choose from?! The first waiter was most likely just hired as she didn't know the slightest thing about the wines. We did get to taste all three wines to choose which we liked best, but it wasn't the type of wine I was looking for.

离自然博物馆有一定的距离，要走大概15分钟，味道还不错，但等很久，是传统意式，面偏硬！建议试试多别的菜肴，比如饺子和冷盘……

Locale molto carino e ben gestitoNoi lo abbiamo frequentato per le colazioni durante una visita a Londra di 4 giorni Ottimi cappuccini, buonissime brioche dolci e salate, succhi detox, focacce farcite con tutta la qualità italiana Frequentatissimo anche dai londinesi della zonaMolto consigliato!

Had a completely overpriced (£5) overhyped really tiny piece of industrial made apricot marmalade cake. Accompanied by a good cup of coffee. Why does London need this new addition?

I'm here again, and ...... Amazing "SPRITZ" in London.... i love this shop! Thanks to Francesco, Francesca and Pamy!

Finally a good old italian coffee served by italians with a smile!!Their small cheese selection is very good for pecorino amateurs but quite pricey!!

This little café lives up to its TripAdvisor reputation. The menu and wine list are both minimal but everything on both is of interest, and our choices were perfect. In the part of Gloucester Road that's almost nothing but restaurants, this one really stands out for its food, wine, coffee and friendliness.

I am Italian and I live in London for restaurant. This restaurant is best Tuscan food you can get in London for an average price in comparison to the city. The ingredients and foods are genuinely from Tuscany and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Confermo tutto quello scritto dalle precedenti recensioni. Abbiamo preso solo pasta ma tortellini e pappardelle erano ottime e non facevano rimpiangere nessun ristorante di casa. Simpatici anche i titolari toscani. Prezzi giusti. Peccato gli spazi minuscoli.

Piccolo locale gestito da italiani con ottimi piatti italiani e prezzi abbordabili. Vi sembrerà di essere a casa.

In vacanza con mia figlia per il concerto dei Coldplay a Wembley, su suggerimento di un amico ci siamo recati per cena in questo piccolo locale ( bottega) molto vicino all'hotel dove alloggiavo . Cibo veramente italiano e non inglese adattato all'italiano, ottima qualita' dei prodotti e tanta cortesia. Abbiamo preso due primi veramente buoni e un tagliere di salumi e formaggi accompagnati da due calici di Chianti. Prezzo molto onesto. Lo consiglio vivamente. Un caro saluto a Massimo (pratese come me)Riccardo e Federica

Finalmente un luogo dove mangiare NON come se si cercasse di cucinare cibo italiano, ma dove realmente si cucina cibo italiano. I taglieri toscani mi hanno riportato nella mia regione anche a chilometri di distanza. Personale disponibile e cordiale. Consigliato.

Se capitate da queste parti fermatevi Uno dei migliori ristoranti italiani a Londra dove i piatti non vengono adattati al triste palato inglese ma conservano i sapori originali della cucina italiana Consigliati stimo

Decisamente un angolo di Italia a Londra, partendo dagli spaghetti alla amatriciana, al caffè ed alle torte. Un grazie al gestore che con la sua cordialità ci ha ricordato che il nostro paese sarà sempre il migliore.

Se passate da quelle parti, non potete non fermarvi da "Brutti & boni". Locale piccolo ma delizioso, cibo che finalmente sembra davvero italiano (e non una sua imitazione), ingredienti genuini.Io ho ordinato dei tortelli di zucca ed erano buonissimi. Poi, be', in quanto fiorentina ho certamente apprezzato la cartina di Firenze in bagno! ;)Veramente consigliato, posso dire con certezza che sia il ristorante migliore in cui ho mangiato a Londra!

I had an amazing Italian lunch here today: pesto spelt salad with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. The coffee was amazing too. The staff are ever so friendly and accommodating and didn't mind me sitting there for two hours while I used their wifi to do some work. Well worth a visit!

We were visiting the Natural History Museum, and this was 5 minutes walking away. We found it through Tripadvisor and definitely don't regret it. We had a mixed board as a starter and two main pastas. The waitress was very kind and we could ask for half board in case it was too much. The quantity was perfect, the pasta is amazing and the local is so cozy and nice.Definitely a good choice if you want to try authentic Italian food in the area :)

Sono stata a Londra con la mia famiglia questa settimana e dopo aver mangiato pollo e ancora pollo e hamburger e fish & chips alla fine abbiamo dovuto cedere alla cara e vecchia pasta! Ristorante piccolo, ma accogliente, cibo ottimo e personale cordiale e alla mano! Un po' spaesati dalla frenesia della città, abbiamo trovato in questo posto un pezzetto di casa nostra! Sicuramente torneremo!

Had a Lovely coffee with a prosciutto,mozzarella focaccia for breakfast, nice friendly staff and a great little spot

Restaurant has limited seats so was pleasantly surprised to get a table immediately. Menu is simple but they have their weekly specials. The prosciutto with melon was heavenly, as was the pappardelle with some sausage. Beef lasagne had a unique flavour that I wasn't quite used too but still above average.Happy to have found this place for lunch amidst a whole day of visiting museums in the area.

Really friendly, helpful staff - simple menu, excellent Italian food & great value for money. We visited just before the Bowie concert at Royal Albert Hall, just a short walk away. Will definitely visit again!

This is a wonderful Italian restaurant - it is small and the menu is not huge but it serves fantastic food and the staff are lovely. Would need to book as space is limited but we thought it was just brilliant! Thank you for looking after us so well!

We enjoyed our lunch in brutti's little place. Took Pasta pesto & tortellini bolognese and it was really good.Recommended!

I stopped by this awesome little restaurant while in holidays in London. The whole (entirely italian) staff was kind and pretty funny, the food is amazing, from the focaccia stuffed with fresh tuscan products, to the pappardelle with wild boar ragù to the famous 'setteveli' cake and of course a real italian espresso...Delicious!!! Highly reccomended!

Popped in for lunch this afternoon and had the most amazing tortellini! So delicious and authentic. Nice and clean, very friendly staff and food came out super fast! If i'm ever in the area again I will be sure to visit again!

Found after reading trip advisor reviews. Was more cafe style than I expected. Lovely staff. The pasta was delicious. Great apricot tart with delicious crumbly pastry. Go. It's great and reasonably priced.

We had amazing ham and cheese croissants and great fresh fruit. Easy to find from the Earl Court Road tube station area. I did notice that as English speakers we had a bit of a language barrier.

This place has espressi as good as you get in Naples. A double is tiny but it is deliciousFriendly staff and tables outside on the Gloucester RoadExcellent for breakfast and lunch with homemade soup and pasta

Staff is all Italian and the food is tasty. Portions not overly large, but OK. Wine list was limited in range but sufficient for our needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not opt for desert, but it looked quite good. Highly recommend. About 20 pounds per plate with wine.

Found this place on trip advisor, the reviews were right. It's set up in a simple cafe style which feels relaxed. The staff were helpful and friendly and asked if we needed any pointers with the menu. The menu itself was fairly simple with some specials offered as well. Clearly the focus is on the quality of the food which for us was perfect. Good quality, presented well and at a very reasonable price considering its location close to the Royal Albert hall. An ideal spot for lunch or an early evening pre show meal.

Traditioneel italiaans lunchadres. Uitgebreide kaart vol met originele iraliaanse gerechten. Alles vers, en dat proef je!

Tornata in questo locale in occasione di una nuova vacanza a Londra dopo un anno e devo dire che li ho trovati addirittura migliorati!!!Il gruppo è affiatato e sono tutti molto disponibili.Abbiamo preso tre primi e devo dire che le porzioni erano abbondanti ed il prezzo più che ragionevole.Eravamo io, mio marito e nostro figlio di quattro anni e siamo stati molto bene.Ci torneremo senz'altro e lo consiglio senza dubbio!!!Grazie ragazzi (anche per averci offerto la schiacciata per il bambino!!!!)

The place is a little tiny but very nicely located nearby Hide Park.Real Italians run the place and welcome you in the nicest possible way. The menu is limited to several dishes , which is good as it indicates fresh products and cooking.The dishes are tasty and perfectly cooked, the coffee is excellent.If you want a piece of Italy - the real one - go without hesitation.

The food was ok, however a bit pricey... The place is small but does have a couple of tables outside. Overall not a destination but more of a convenience place

Lovely, fresh food. Authentic Italian taste and great staff. Service was poor because they were slightly busy for a Sunday lunchtime - could do with having more attentive staff but really great food and some awesome fresh juices made in front of you. Family friendly and well priced. Would definitely recommend!

Sono stato a pranzo in questo ristorante grazie alle numerose ottime recensioni, il locale è molto carino, ben arredato e posizionato in un ottima zona. Ho ordinato una caprese di bufala e i tagliolini al ragù di cinghiale, fenomenali entrambi, gli ingredienti sono freschissimi, si nota l'attenzione con cui i proprietari li scelgono e li fanno arrivare direttamente dall'italia attraverso i migliori fornitori, e poi il caffè, e che caffè! In questo ristorante potete trovare la vera cucina italiana... in Inghilterra ! Personale gentilissimo e super cordiale, molto simpatici e disponibili anche a dare informazioni sul posto, ti fanno sentire come a casa. Super super consigliato, se state cercando un po di cucina italiana a Londra, questo è il posto che fa per voi senza dubbio !!

Lovely food, well priced, good service. Feels very authentic Italian service, this is a small premises, with some outside tables. We ate inside. Quickly served, very attentive.

Brutti and Boni is a small Italian bistro and deli. It specialises in real Italian food brought in direct from Italy. And we should celebrate the fact that there are such small independent establishments like this in London!My wife and I ate here before a concert at the RAH. The service was friendly and prompt and the food delicious and well priced. We shared a mixed platter - Gorgonzola; tuscan ham; mortadello; Pecorino Tartufello (and more) - followed by excellent Tortellini (mine al cinghiale) ; and accompanied by very smooth (and organic) ChiantiThe only downside is that we had to leave to get to the concert...but it is a place that we will visit again

We were treated very well. The food was served so quickly we didn't think it was our order it was so fast. The waitresses were very helpful and attentive and treated us incredibly well. We tipped them well for all their great work and brilliant food.Ordered:Tortellini BologneseTagliatelle Wild BoarTorta e MeleNegroni and Vodka/LemonTuscan Salami

My family and I recently visited Brutti & Boni as a family of four. The restaurant is TINY and the seating area in the back consists of four tables, so it's pretty cramped. I ordered the tortellini. It was very good, but left me hungry still. After hours trapsing around the city I needed more. The ingredients were fresh. A glass of 125 ml white wine was 7.50 GBP, which seemed excessive. I suggest getting a starter if you're really hungry. I can't say that I'd go back, but I can give credit where credit is due: fresh ingredients and good food. The ambiance/seating and portion sizes would make me look elsewhere. The service was friendly, but a bit slow.

Stumbled across this place via trip advisor and pleased I did. The pasta dish was one of the best ever and the service was friendly. Highly recommended.

I visited with a friend during our break. Best decision that we could have made.The staff is friendly and welcoming.My friend had cinghiale (boar) pasta and i had tuna and tomatoes. Extraordinary.Pus one of the best coffee I have ever had in LondonWe will surely return soon

Zuchini Pasta was excellent and vegetarian lasagna as well Service was friendly and smileyFood is fine and gourmetI definitely recommend ! I just hope to find a table next time i want to go there

We booked a table before a visit to the Royal Albert Hall, after finding this Italian on Trip Advisor.We agree with all the positive responses other Trip Advisors have posted.The service and food was excellent. The staff made you feel welcome with a relaxing atmosphere.We would definitely go back when we are in London

Love the friendly energy of the neighbourhood coffee shop. Authentic Italian sweets, service and Sandwiches. Tables and counters are full of Kensington's sophisticated, international crowd. Everybody loves this place... Including me.

Outstanding casual Italian with great service. The pasta is freshly made and delicious. The ravioli is some of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend!

Had a nice lasagna and an expresso. Food was tasty and fresh, service was great and the atmosphere was very cool. Definitely will come back.

This family-run bottega was a delight to find for lunch before going to the V&A. I had one of the daily specials, tagliatelle with zucchini, speck and cream which tickled the tastebuds a treat. The salads also drew praise and there was a choice of wines by the glass. Definitely a haunt to return to

Amazing service, super tasty food. Make sure to book a table though as the restaurant itself only has 4 tables! We didn't expect to enter such a small restaurant, but it was definitely worth it. The prices are surprisingly inexpensive!

We were a large group of people and the staff organized a fantastic (and really abundant!) dinner for us. The food was really good (real italian! I loved both the tortellini and parmigiana), the staff was very welcoming and they let us stay a bit longer after closing time. I would definitely recommend this place!

If you are looking for good Italian food in London, you've found your place! The food is really good and really Italian, and the staff is particularly kind and available. I had a great dinner there.

This is a small but perfectly formed slice of Italy. The owners once a week import Italy to you to save you the trip! It was busy and we began by sitting on the bar stools but where quickly moved to the back room and a proper table when one became available. The tortellini with wild boar topping was very good indeed. Well cooked and perfectly seasoned. Every mouthful was devoured quickly and appreciatively. Make room for a dessert as they are just as good. The apricot tart with cream anglaise was a sweet treat that was the best I have had for some time.This place deserves to do well as the food and the attentive chatty staff make for a great lunch experience.

If you want real taste of Tuscany in London,this is the place where you should go. Perfect for breakfast, little sweats- perfect combination with original italian espresso, lovely pasta al dente, all the products are amazing, best quality all the way from Italy!YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT!

What a wonderful find this place is a must when in London very authentic Italian the food, staff and atmosphere were excellent will definitely go back next time Im in London

perfetto.... da 5 stelle!!!! ed il personale? cordiale e gentile, sempre sorridente.insomma..... come sentirsi a casa ..they are the best!

Good local coffee place on Gloucester Road, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. This address has had lots of delis over the years, but this is my favourite iteration yet.

Excellent service and the food is delicious, you can taste the real food from italy and amazing product from tuscany. We has been served by a nice Italian girl called Pamela. If you are near Gloucester Road don't miss it.

A great find. Lovely pastas, Italian breads and salads. Really friendly staff. There are only 3 tables inside, so worth booking ahead.

This is everything you could want from a small italian cafe/eateriaGreat food great staff and pleasant surroundings. They opened over a year ago and no surprise they are very busy now!! It also serves all purposes, breafast lunch and dinner. The best place in the area by far.

Not brutti at all on the contrary one of the best places where to eat very well and feel very cozy like at home. I go almost every weekend for focaccia tortellini vermentino and a couple of mignons before a siesta or a walk at the park and I luv it ! Real Italian atmosphere and very cool and friendly staff. Gracie Mille

Sono sempre molto restio ad andare in ristoranti italiani all'estero..ma viste le recensioni e considerato che ero da quelle parti, ho voluto provare.non posso che confermare tutte le ottime recensioni. Tortellini al ragù eccellenti....anche se credo fosse roba confezionata in Italia:in ogni caso complimenti per la scelta dei "semilavorati". Ottima la focaccia "peposa" e anche le tagliatelle...unica pecca, nel tavolo a fianco al nostro c erano dei turisti non italiani che mangiavano le tagliatelle bevendo il cappuccino..... :) scherzi a parte, ottimo ristorantino che farebbe una splendida figura anche in Italia. Bravi
