Daniela's Lounge in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great family-run Italian restaurant with a wide range of options. Pizza is as good as in Italy, baked in wood oven. Good value and friendly service.

We weren't sure if Danielas was open or not when we arrived for lunch since there was no welcome or acknowledgment from staff. We ordered pizza and salad. The pizza was served on a cold plate, consequently it was cold and soggy. The salad was exceptionally mean. Staff seemed untrained. The waiter didn't even provide sugar with the coffee. Overall this was a poor experience.

Poor lunchtime service, as if it was a major inconvenience to serve lunch when other prep going on. Pizza not hot when it reached the table. Disappointing experience.

Excellent good food great value wonderful staff Afraid to say you must go as I may not be able to get a table

Absolutely dreadful. We booked a table for 7p.m. arrived and after a few minutes ordered starter and main course (soup of the day and pizza). After waiting 30 minutes, we asked the passing waiter how much longer we would have to wait and he said "the soup is off - finished." Great to let us know, no apology. After another 15 minutes we asked him how much longer we would have to wait for the pizza - he replied another 15-20 minutes, so we walked out. Again no apology Nobody in the restaurant (12 people) had any food served while we were there; they were just fulfilling take away pizza orders and couldn't care less about the customers in the restaurant. If they treat regular customers like us in that manner, they don't deserve any business from anyone.

You’ll always get good traditional food here. We love it. I did notice, however that my pasta portion for the main was much smaller than it was the time before. Still delicious but tiny!

This is a great local restaurant that continues to offer ‘home cooked’ rustic Italian food at super reasonable prices. The best part is being to bring your own wine for a corkage charge. Hand stretched pizzas and all the usual Italian classics. Love this place!

We went 2 times and loved it! We ordered carbonara and it was the best we have ever eaten. Would 100% recommend.

It's a small, cozy restaurant. Nothing fancy, but great value for money. Service was good. Food was really tasty (we had the Parmigiana di Melanzani and Spaghetti Carbonara). We recommend it if you're near Little Venice.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, locale accogliente, gentilezza e simpatia non mancano. Lo consiglio vivamente, sicuramente tornerò.

Not a pleasurable experience. Cold, unremarkable food, The service was slow and quite obviously they were very short staffed. A really disappointing Saturday night out with friends especially having been restricted for so long. These things have to be dealt with before charging premium prices.

Some of the best pizza in Little Venice. Wood fire oven and a great variation of toppings, authentic Sicilian cooking including a great Carbonara. I go all the time!

We felt a little let down by this place. The atmosphere and setting is beautiful - very tastefully designed. Sadly we won’t be returning as the service was poor (took 30 mins to order drinks, the food came at different times, one main was forgotten) - there wasn’t much acknowledgement of this on the part of the staff. Given the cost vs overall experience, I sadly don’t think we will be coming back. A shame as it has lots of potential!

Lived in the area a while and we went for the first time the other night. Great food, attentive staff, reasonably priced, byob. I cannot wait to go again

Ordered on just eat. My da Daniela pizza was awful. The pepperoni was dry and the rest of the pizza salty and horrible. Think I will avoid this place for future

Ordinato take away logicamente dato il periodo.. la peggiore carbonara che abbia mai mangiato qui a Londra!! Arancine che erano...

This is a very relaxed restaurant. No frills just great food. It’s byob but they still have a small selection of wines. We ate during tier 2 so masks and social distancing in place. We have eaten a couple of times but enjoyed the Carbonara...

Came here with my housemate at the end of Eat Out to Help Out and we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was buzzing and the restaurant was cosy and rustic. First up we started with the Antipasto della casa, and brought our own red wine....

The food was poorly executed. The pizza cheese tasted as if it was fermented. The waiter was quite rude and on top of that he was not wearing a face mask, neither he nor anyone else in the kitchen. Also, people were seated next to...

Apart from being extremely noisy, this is actually a nice little Italian restaurant with good, authentic Italian food. Unfortunately, every time I have been it has been extraordinarily noisy. The last occasion, I was hoping to have a quiet coffee mid afternoon with a colleague....

Daniela's Italian homestyle cooking is second to none in London and is even better than most of the places I have visited in Sicily and Italy. Her food will fill you with a sense of satisfaction that will make you want to eat here every...

The best Italian food in London ! Pizzas are huge and very tasty. We love it and will come back definitely

Siamo stati in questo locale durante una passeggiata per Londra. Abbiamo ordinato degli antipasti e 4 pizze. Il sapore non...

Spettacolare!!! Qualità prezzo senza precedenti Piatti che ti fanno ricordare i pranzi domenicali dalla nonna ❤️❤️

endroit parfait. on y mange comme à la casa. pas eu le temps de goûter à beaucoup de choses mais...

This was a nice cozy place with decent quality food. It’s run a little loose with a lot of people eating but also working so that was kind of weird. Food quality was good and at a reasonable price. The house wine is very good...

We love this place so much that we haunt it. Any excuse to head to Maida Vale especially when craving pizza which we think is the best we have had in London. Everything tastes so fresh and of the highest quality. We also love the...

We went for dinner with some friends after out Thursday volleyball match. Food is ok, nothing special and definitely not the Italian quality food they claim to serve. Service was very slow, we had to ask several times for drinks and reminded them what we...

Cosy little place with really nice food, outstanding pizza and a good selection of wines. Couldn’t recommend more.

Went here recently for dinner. Tasty food, and decent options for the vegetarians in my party too. Pasta is well made and doesn’t give you the bloated feeling that you can often get, must be due to the flour they use. Really friendly welcoming staff...

I have had dinner here several times and the food is not only excellent but reasonably priced. Pasta pizza and the main courses are all good. A welcome addition to London's often overrated and over priced restaurant scene.

Lovely Italian restaurant (they call themselves a cafe but it is more, much more) with a simple but delicious Italian menu. All the usual Italian fare but all very fresh and the pizzas here are the best. Our favourites are the fritto misto pesce and...

Non è insolito trovare risotranti italiani o con italiani a Londra. Il mangiare è ordinario (per un italiano), quindi gradevole.

Ristorante Italiano a gestione famigliare di origine Calabrese, dove i cibi sono veramente ottimi. Buona la pizza, ma soprattutto la...

We used to go to this place all the time. It was great! Nice steak and great pizza for good price. The owner Daniela was always there. The staff has changed, now there are 3 or 4 guys there all the time and they are...

Visited on a sunny bank holiday Monday and it was very busy. The food was really good and we weren't in a rush so the long waits and slow service weren't an issue. BUT, when we asked for the bill we waited 15 mins, asked...

Las raciones son bastante grandes, y los precios están bastante bien. El tipo de comida es italiano de toda la...

The pizza is just Made in Italy! Simple restaurant and always packed. A bit unfriendly staff but you just forget about them as soon as you take the first bite of the pizza!

Terrible service. Don’t waste your time or money. Rude staff. I don’t usually post reviews like this but it really shocked me and I won’t be going back.

Arrived to find they said they didn't have our booking, though later they said names had been muddled. Our waiter's heart was not in the job. We had to ask several times for water, asked for 4 sideplates and got one. A woman had to...

Delicious food. The pizza was very tasty as well as everything else we ordered. Will definitely come back! The tiramisu was delicious and they had lots of options for digestives liquours.

My friend was busting to go here as she’s said it’s always busy, so I travelled from the other side of London. Sadly it was a wasted trip. Nothing was that bad, but nothing was that good. The pizza dough was a bit cardboardy, the...

Efter många besök i Italien ska det vara riktigt bra för att bli kallad en italiensk restaurang! Danielas restaurang är...

Quite tight seating arrangement, obviously trying to squeeze in as many people as possible, without taking note of previous bookings. A simple lesson in maths would do both the owner and waiters good, who can fit where, how many walk-ins we can allow etc. The...

Had lovely meal, went on friends recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed the food and quirky atmosphere. It's far from plush and chairs certainly not on comfy side but whole experience but pretty spot on..... Will defo go back. Apprx £60/couple

An authentic small family run Italian restaurant serving great food - I particularly recommend the frittura mista di pesce as a starter; perfectly done...! I'm local and come here often and it never fails to impress - eminently flavoursome food served in a relaxed atmosphere...

Genuinely love this place, be it a chilled Monday night or a razzy Friday, and all in between, it caters for a relaxed delicious meal. The people really care for you and you get that family vibe that is so missing in other places across...

This is a hidden treasure at Maida Vale. I visited with wife for the first time. My wife is veg and they made a nice fusion dish ie. spaghetti pomodoro. I thoroughly enjoyed Merluzzo Al Sugo (cod fillet) in Italian style. Erik's service was quite...

Daniella’s has an E Village NY bistro vibe- fun and friendly with great buzz!! all kinds clients-young old and in lords to dustmen - I love it! -excellent inexpensive menu + amazing pizzas + great Italian waiters (Erik the Great! Oh yes- it’s really Italian!...

Don't go here. Read this story: We have booked table online and when arrived, were told our booking did not get through. We were asked how we have booked, if by phone, mobile or website. We have booked via website and were told that website...

This place was fantastic. We booked a table and glad we did. It was buzzing, lively and is clearly a popular spot. Two large parties were being catered for but this did not effect the service or food, and actually made for a more welcoming...

Good range of pasta, pizza and other fish and chicken specialty dishes. Cosy atmosphere and highly attentive service. Really good value and well worth a visit

Went with friends on a Saturday evening, it was packed but cosy. I had the Frito Misto, Burrata with aubergine & spaghetti, it was all delicious, homemade & very tasty. Friendly service & reasonably priced. Lovely experience!

What a place. Great value, super friendly service and yummy food. Brilliant. Thank you for a lovely experience !!

I've been to Da Daniela a number of times as it's my local Italian and it is very good value. The food is delicious: hearty portions, fresh ingredients, and beautiful flavours. The pizza especially is worth ordering, as is the canolli. Plus, it's BYOB (with...

Lovely people, lovely food and truly amazing quality. I will certainly come back as soon as I can. It's a 12 out of 10 for me.

We met for lunch in this great little place in Maida Vale. The challenge of coping with such a large group (10) was ably met by the charming Italian staff. The menu is standard Italian, nicely cooked and presented. The restaurant was recently licensed and...

Good food, attentive staff, cute little place.would go back if lived in the neighbourhood. Got quite busy around 8pm so probably a reservation would be needed

What a little gem of a place ,service might be a little slow but the food more than makes up for it.Best pizza I have tasted and the prices are reasonable . Can't wait to return at some point and try something else on the...

Visiting London and staying Maida Vale. 4 of us. Were very keen to have a pizza. Based on reviews on Google shortlisted 3 places- eventually we picked Da Daniela- short walking distance, 9 minutes and it was BYOB- giving more flexibility. When we reached, (Tuesday...

Had been looking forward to trying this place for a while, being a local independent place, but was sadly disappointed by the poor service. The tables are very close to one another, but we accepted this as part of the cosy vibe. Is BYOB, which...

Cant believe it took us almost a year to find this little homely yet chic place that serves delish simple food along with great service! Love that you can BYO nook...you can easily spend some time here so it's great that there is no time...

What a lovely restaurant. I have been here many times, kept meaning to post a review. Always busy, best to book in the evenings. Very welcoming and I am absolutely hooked on their Calzone! The best ever. I will be back soon :)

I’ve lived in the area for more than 10 years, but only discovered this restaurant last week. It’s between two very good gastro pubs, the Waterway and Hero of Maida, so it hasn’t been a stand out destination. The restaurant itself is a bit shabby...

Authentische Italo-Küche mitten in London. Kleiner Laden, laut, warm, kein Alkohol und lecker Pizza...

Vällagad italiensk mat i mysig miljö. Kändes mycket genuint och familjärt. Deras frukost är dock inte alls lika bra tyvärr.

We went to this restaurant 4 times during our stay in London. The food is excellentvat very moderate prices. It isnt a licensed restaurant so you can bring your own drinks with a corkage fee of £2.50 a bottle. They have a proper pizza oven...

This is a small Italian restaurant. I suggest making reservations if you are planning to go. Also table's are very close to each other and the level of sound from people talking is high. We got lamb meat balls, one pizza, one pasta, and tiramisu....

I’ve eaten here several times, the last time was in the winter. We were given a table by the sliding window/door and I do remember feeling so cold despite the place full of diners. The pizzas and pasta are really good and made better by...

Great find if you are in the area. One of the best meals I had while I was in London. Ate there the first and last day of the trip. Highly recommend.

Pequeño restaurant italiano con buenas opciones de pastas y pizza, y un antipasto con variedad de fiambres que es lo...

Love this place. Friendly, neighborhood atmosphere. Real Italian. Good value. Will go back multiple times.

Good fresh food. Easy decor, nice fresh juices, A good choice but not a great choice. The place is clean and has some outside seating which is great in the summer.

The food was lovely, all freshly prepared and the service great. I agree you have to book but we'll worth it.

Just had a lovely dinner,restaurant pumping with people and atmosphere Great service ,fitted us in with no booking ,good pasta selection very tasty,lots of pizzas terrific homemade tirimusu Good value I’ll go back again before we leave London

We had been walking up the nearby canal and needed sustenance and we stumbled on da Daniela. The pizzas were very tasty and it was a pleasant place to eat and the only downside was that the server was unwelcoming and verging on the unpleasant....

de vier kazen waren zeer goed. goede ingredienten. gezellige sfeer. service gericht. ze belde ons waneer er plek was.

Having passed this restaurant on my way to work for a number of years I finally got the chance to sample the food. Whilst a little off the beaten track the restaurant is clearly very popular as all tables had 'reserved' notices on them, fortunately...

We really enjoyed all dishes as well as the atmosphere. We started with an antipasto dish, followed with grilled vegetables and a pizza to share

I went to Danielas a couple of weeks ago with a friend and the place was full at 7pm so they are clearly doing something right, just not our main course! We had Danielas Ciabatta to start which was delicious, crispy and fresh with lots...

We have just found a great place for a relaxed Sunday lunch with good food, friendly, efficient service and reasonable pricing. Although pizza is obviously a speciality here, we went for a more conventional lunch selection and can thoroughly recommend the penne al pomodoro, the...

Love this little local gem. Recommend booking as always busy, friendly staff will do their best to accommodate you if not. Casual but the food is good enough for a special evening. I live in London but work in Italy and find this to be...

... in London. No contest. A fabulous little place. Everything about it will make you feel immediately as if you’re in a little italian pizzeria.

All good except there is no liquor licence and the nearby wine shop was closed, so our Christmas lunch was rather drab with fruit juice! So, set off with wine as you may not get any there.

Very nice pizzas for decent prices. The one Cruda pizza was slightly cold whereas the Da Daniela pizza was hot and tasty. The starter of Lamb Meatballs probably wasn't worth the £5.95 as you only get 3, and the balls were quite heavy, but the...

The food has a close resemblance to what one might get in Italy (unlike many other so called Italian restaurants in the UK). The service is friendly and competent and the price one pays is kept down by a BYO wine policy. The tables are...

Had a wonderful lunch wish this restaurant was near me . Fresh produce great service and lovely owner .

I'm Italian, and for me it's quite difficult find a good pizza away from home. Daniela surprised me!! I've never been in the restaurant, but I ordered pizza many times with deliveroo, which is their delivery choice. Unfortunately I had lots of issues with them,...

A really great cosy Italian, serving some really genuine Italian food, of quality hard to find. Superb Burata, great Pizza and a sumptuous Tiramisu. Lovely warm service too. A great place to have found.

My friends and I ate at da Daniela twice during the week we stayed in a nearby flat. Both times were lovely. The place was full but we got a table with no wait. We ordered a variety of things from the menu and all...

Very lovely local Italian hosted and run by the super Daniella. A cozy place with very tasty pizzas as well as the usual pasta and bruschetta. We both had the spicy salami pizza and it’s BYO booze so the bill was about £23 for 2...

Love Da Daniela - fantastic food at a decent price. It doesn't serve alcohol but is BYOB which I really like as I can bring along my fave wine. I always go for the La Cruda pizza - so nice!

Early friday evening, the place was full of families with children from breast-feeders through to early teens, all enjoying meals and chatting to one another. Great atmosphere. The boys were able to scramble across a scooter on one side and gaze up at a boat...

I had the good fortune to discover Da Daniela whilst staying in an Airbnb place nearby. Literally the best minute steak and green beans in London...anywhere. So forget the fancy places in the West End, jump on the Bakerloo line to Warwick Ave and go...

Cooked to perfection. Came in around 14:00 on a Saturday and the place wasn't too busy. Ordered and had my food within 10 minutes. Server wasn't the most friendliest but the food definitely made up for it! If I'm ever back in the area I...

Superb food, grand atmosphere and excellent service. Hidden small gem. Must go back soon when next in London.
