Edera in Kensington and Chelsea

The guys are grea, especially Roberto who provided a first class service and best cappuccino that you can find in London. Many thanks and see you again

Love this restaurant...amazing food and wonderful staff... highly recommended

Quiet restaurant for any occasion, fast service but not rushed. Warm hospitality from management and staff. The menu respects the Sardinian tradition, plus truffle specials. Excellent malloreddus, whereas the seadas cheesy core was spoiled by excessive mandarin/orange; Guttiau bread is not pre-packed but lacked salt (some rosemary seasoning on top). Prices are in line with this prime district, pasta plus meat/fish main course is recommended, bill per head will then be £60 on average including service, more with wine.

Booked a table and drove across London for 10:30pm. When we arrived we were told the kitchen is closed, I showed the open table booking and the man just laughed and said “we have no chef.” Completely understand that every night is different with closing times but really didn’t like how we were treated, especially as I’m a host myself and I wouldn’t speak to a guest like that..

Second visit here and even better than the first. Excellent food, professional and attentive service, smart but unpretentious surroundings and a very good, very affordable wine list. Try the Sardinian specialties and the delicious, reasonably priced Sardinian wine.

Came for a business dinner, really liked the place, food was great and they had a decent wine list. Service was great too. I had a baked aubergine for starter which was amazing and a tuna stake for main. Would recommend both.

Edera used to be a good Italian restaurant but, if our recent experience is representative, it seems to have lost the plot. My wife had a stodgy risotto and the lemon taste completely overwhelmef and ruined my seafood pasta. Staff showed little savoir faire. They clearly knew we had a bad experience, but were happy to cash in on £100 (without wine). We will not be coming back.

We had a wonderful meal here. The service was attentive, the setting pleasant and the food delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food… when I return to London, I will definitely stop in.

Our serve Roberto was very kind and the Cacio E pepe was the best

The food was fantastic but not much choice . There were good wines but just in bottle , for glass there were just a few. The staff and the service were amazing ! Maybe a little expensive but was surely a nice experience!

Very overpriced for what it is, ordered the milanese veal cutlet. Its ok, but way too greasy and the actual cut is too chewy. The tiramisus are also too thick for some reason. Wouldn't recommend for the price they charge

Great Sea Bream, and a lovely dessert. Service was attentive but not overly so, with a nice quiet but busy atmosphere

This is a great local restaurant in an area filled with great local restaurants. It's a family favourite.

We shared a most memorable meal here on our first night in London. The food was superb.

Beautiful place! Very good Sardinian restaurant! The service is very attentive and excellent! Pasta cooked just right! Good price for the quality

Best Food in London , great seafood and pasta warm atmosphere Alberto is a doll I had pan fried cod and my husband had clams in linguini Both were great !!

We were staying at the Hilton about a 6 min walk away and found this restaurant. We all really enjoyed our meals. The sea bream was delicious. Definitely recommend.

The best restaurant in London Proud to have worked on it way back in 2013 Times flies! Edera restaurant #1 best in London best in Britain

A place where you want to come more than once

It's one of the best Italian cousins I have tasted.

great place, nice choice of menu well cooked food the wine list has been enriched the price is right for the quality of the food the restaurant has improved and the service perfect

Been coming here for a long time and every time I eat here the food just gets better and better. I absolutely love this place. Great food and amazing people running this fine establishment! I absolutely love the cacio pepe they offer along with the other pastas too. I haven’t had better food in a while. Absolutely loved it! Recommended ! It’s a must visit!

Restaurante italiano muy cercano al Hilton Kensington. Debe ser de los mejores de la zona. Comida gourmet de distintas zonas del país. Los socios/encargados se la pasan hablando italiano aunque son ingleses.

Ristorante italiano consigliatissimo. Ottima l’accoglienza, la qualità del cibo e la cordialità dello staff.

Ottimo ristorante italiano a Londra. Personale gentile e professionale. Ambiente rilassante. Lo Chef Loris molto cordiale e capace di interpretare in chiave moderna la cucina. Ottimo il pane così come l’olio che viene servito da accompagnamento. Qui si và sul sicuro, tantissimi sfiziosi antipasti, ottimi i primi e i secondi così come i dolci.Porzioni abbondanti non ci si alza di certo con la fame. Locale consigliato

Great restaurant, would recommend.

Had been passing by this neighbourhood restaurant many times. Today decided to try it. What a surprise it turned out to be! The food was excellent and fresh.Service was polite and prompt. Will be visiting it often

Steak was good. Service nice. Nice quiet location. Not far from tube station. Was very expensive for what you get though. Watch out for the 18% tip they add on.

I was so delighted when I was looking for restaurants for our wedding anniversary near Holland Park to discover there was a Sardinian one close by. We got married in Sardinia so it was a sign! Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, I couldn’t give it the full 5 stars so I shall explain. Pros:- The food was fresh, tasty and looked gorgeous. The service from all our waiting staff that served us was friendly, attentive and excellent. I spotted the traditional Sardinian bread on another table which we hadn’t ordered and when I asked if it was “carta di musica”, the waiter immediately responded and got us a basket. We also ordered a special dish as a treat which has a bit of theatre to it as the fish is baked in a fennel and salt crust and then brought to the table still encased to be opened. This was absolutely delicious. Cons:- It is on the pricier end of things which is expected for the area of Kensington and Chelsea borough. Our event was in Holland Park so we were looking for somewhere close rather than deliberately coming to the area to eat. Had we left 30 minutes earlier, I would have said this was an amazing eating experience. Unfortunately, near the end of our meal, the owner arrived and proceeded to teach one of the staff how to carry plates in full view of the diners. When we arrived the restaurant had been empty and this could have been done beforehand. It was also done in English when the staff had all been conversing with each other in Italian before so it felt this was done to be deliberately embarrassing. The owner made it clear that they could teach them but that if they did not manage to do it they would not be able to continue working there. We left making sure to thank that member of staff personally. It was still brilliant food but the owner’s attitude certainly put us off a bit.

So glad this gem has re opened. Opened with a brusetta to share. Then the sea bream with buttery mash and spinach. I had the baby chicken with green beans . We had a tiramisu to share . With wine around 60 a head for really well cooked and well presented food and great service. Welcome back edera

My father asked to put this. Went last night. First course was forgotten to be given to him and he had a schnitzel for more than £35 that was very poor. His partner had a poor ravioli that didn't taste nice either.

We visited as part of a business group. The owner, Roberto, and team were incredibly welcoming and provided superb service, nothing was too much for them. The food was incredible and the wine list beats many Michelin starred properties. The standard of this restaurant is in line with Michelin stars, so wouldn’t be surprised if they pick up a bib gourmand at the very least. Highly recommended!

A real find. Exceptional quality

Service and food are as good as if you are in Italy, they really know what they are doing, and they do care a lot about you and this shows. Excellent selection of wines on the reasonable side. But this is not cheap either, by the time you have a couple of dishes, your bottle of Proseco, your bottle of red, and desert, it exceeds GBP120 per person easy.

Very lovely food, attentive and friendly staff and calm atmosphere to enjoy yourself.

Shameful. I went there with my fiancee as the restaurant does a got job at presenting itself. The staff is extremely judgmental and the food is highlg unimpressive and overpriced.

disappointed experience. portions are very small. overrated & expensive however the service is nice.

Crisp white tablecloths, attentive service, great acoustics and delicious Sicilian food made with care and attention. 3 minutes walk from the tube down past Holland Park’s villagey shops makes this a really good lunch choice. We all had fish: I had cod with cannellini beans. Not sure why it’s showing as closed : very much open in December 22.

Nice Italian restaurant with lovely food, great wine and attentive service. Expensive though

Great food nice interior just very expensively £32 for a main dish, fregola served with seafood was excellent but definitely overpriced.

Three perfect courses - pumpkin ravioli - delicious veal Milanese ( the size of a small car) and an exquisite Pannacotta with equally elegant wine

Small restaurant with daily fresh production which is pretty good!

So happy Edera has reopened. Fantastic food , wine and service. The Spaghetti a la Bottarga is the best anywhere and that includes Sardinia.

We noticed passing by that Edera has re-opened and we decided to give it try. The food is excellent and the service is very friendly and yet very professional. I loved their veal tonnato and pasta with sausage ragout. The panna cotta with mixed berries was outstanding. Well done guys!

Fantastic! Even after a 2 year hiatus, Roberto and the team have maintained impeccable food and impeccable standards of service - polite and welcoming - just as always. It's great that they are back. The menu has some new items and some old favorites. Looking forward to returning soon.

First of all, restaurant has reopened since August 31. A fabulous dining experience. Excellent, attentive service. The tuna tartare special on a bed of smashed avocado was delectable! We opted for the mushroom risotto and both declared it to be one the best we’ve ever tasted! Wines by the glass (red and white) were excellent. Were guided by the server as we weren’t familiar with them. Panna cotta for dessert with a glass of grappa were the perfect conclusion to a perfect dining experience!

the worst dining experience of my life. slow service tasteless food. to be avoided. Roberto the owner the most arrogant person ever!!!!

A Great Gem Edera was on Holland Park Av.

The Italian food at Elders is fantastic. The starters are lovely, and of mains are delicious - I particularly like pappardelle with ragu, and the seabass. Having visited Elders regularly over the last few years, I'd always regarded their tiramisu as utterly exceptional and better than almost any I'd had anywhere in Italy. Sadly, on my last visit, the last tiramisu I had here was rather sub-standard - it was dry, devoid of coffee or marsala flavours, and instead of being set, it was very runny. Hopefully they'll go back to their usual recipe, as it was worth a visit here alone. Otherwise, the service, atmosphere, lighting, and especially the wine list are all very good and in line with what you'd expect at this price.

We both felt dubious upon entering, as the place was completely empty at 19.05, but this proved to be unfounded as shortly afterwards the restaurant began to slowly fill up. The service was friendly and helpful with the wine suggestions; this was welcome since my wife and I have opposite tastes. For starters, my dear one chose the Melanzane Parmigiana, which she absolutely loved (so much in fact that she mopped it up with the fresh bread we were given as an appetiser). I chose the Salumi, which was simply delicious. For the main event my darling chose the Fregola Sarda (langoustines in risotto with tomatoes and saffron). Needless to say that went down well with her cool glass of Iselis - a fruity Nasco from Sardinia. My choice was a simple one - the Saltinbocca (fillets of veal with buttery mashed potatoes - but just the job, washed down with some Chianti Riserva. After showing some interest in the wines, we were tested to a complimentary small tasting session at the bar. If we could afford to eat out like this more often we would !

Well prepared food, perfect hospitallity, nice wine, had a good evening with nice colleges.

We had a better experience here than I gather other diners have. The menu is hardly daring, but every dish the four of us had was perfectly cooked and well-presented. My paparadelle with wild boar sauce was excellent, with the noodles tasting house-made. Squid with whitebait, my wife's starter, was also perfect, and rather a generous portion. We each had a fish entree. My fish seemed a bit overcooked, but the orange, fennel and olive accompaniment was excellent. My wife had bream with thinly sliced aubergine and other vegetables, and was quite happy with it. Our host had veal cutlets, an enormous portion which he seemed to enjoy. The dessert list is fairly limited, just the standard stuff, but a vanilla panna cotta with berries was very nicely done. The biggest downside here is the noise level, which is deafening to the point of making conversation challenging. There is no acoustic tile on the somewhat low ceiling, and conversations really reverberate.

Ottima cucina Italiana, servizio eccellente, personale cordiale.

Consistently excellent food, well presented by amenable people. What more do you want?

Delicious italian food... Wine...

The food is good and the service is good. My only issue is that is lacking a bit of atmosphere, portions are on the stingy side and it is very expensive for what it is.

Popped in with another couple, on our way to a book launch. 2 bottles of average wine, 1 small plate of ok pasta each, two tiny salads to share. £190 later, we walked out wondering how the hell that hour had just cost us almost £200! Sorry, not going back in a hurry.

Provare un ristorante italiano all'estero e', a mio avviso, a rischio delusione e invece no. Edera è un ottimo ristorante italiano, mantiene l'italianità senza cercare compromessi con la cucina italiana. Buona la parmigiana e la fregola, ottima la qualità della carne, ma la sorpresa è la seadas, fatta a regola d'arte. Buona la carta dei vini.

Good service, tasty food, wide selection of wines.

They are a bit expensive but their cacio e pepe pasta is sooooo good!

The saltimboca and frittata were mediocre, the acoustics is bad, so the conversation with friends is difficult, the pasta was good, but it is pasta, so for this price, stay home.

Noisy, difficult conversations, we were 6, the best is to take the pasta, la saltimboca was very mediocre, la frittata same, so this price for pasta, stay home.

Disappointing experience. We had been recommended this by a few people who had been several years ago. However it seems the quality has gone down. Food was good, but overpriced for what it was. Service was not so good, with the staff seeming constantly confused. I will say however that one of our group had dietary requirements and they were excellent at making sure these were met. Nonetheless, I will not be visiniting again any time soon.

We came to this restaurant for its truffle menu and, I must say, it was very good and generously shaved onto our dishes. The service although attentive was lacking in enthusiasm. I think the waiters were trying to be fine dining when really the restaurant is a neighbourhood Italian. Not cheap though although the truffle shavings were generous. We all had truffle so will have to return to have a clearer idea of the rest of the menu. For truffle, it is a good place!

Friendly service, extensive wine menu - excellent place for lunch

Delicious food and great service on Saturday evening! Thank you

The offer of soup was green pea or minestrone. We chose the minestrone, however, when it arrived it looked and tasted like the green pea soup with a few minestrone type veg thrown in. We both ordered pasta dishes - both were disappointing; my dish especially so. It was sea bass ravioli. The pasta was thick and heavy but worst of all, the sauce tasted as if someone had dropped a pot of pepper into the sauce. It was not at all enjoyable. Nobody came to our table to inquire how the food was. I couldn't finish the meal. When the plate was collected I explained how disappointing the meal was. The person I spoke to, who looked like the senior member of staff, told me I should have informed him at the start of my meal and there was nothing he could do about it now!! No apology or concern shown. I thought at the very least we would have been given our coffee as complimentary, but no, not even a small gesture of complimentary coffee. It was a very expensive meal, with poor food and poor service.

Excellent Italian food that is reasonably priced.

Vanavond hier gegeten, bij toeval naar binnen gelopen. Minestrone soep was ronduit smakeloos, geheel doorgekookt. De pasta was niet lekker: een te zoute en vette saus, zelfs de koffie was niet goed, slap en waterig. Ambiance is stijf en ongezellig. Men pretendeert een goed restaurant te zijn maar dat is de buitenkant.

Una noche terrible, por desgracia. Mal servicio. Comida horrible. Mi primer plato estaba destinado a ser minestrone, pero me dieron un tazón de baba verde bastante insípido e insípido. El plato principal era carne de ternera milanesa con una porción miserable de rúcula y tomates cansados. El pudín estaba medio derretido y el sorbete de limón descuidado. Demasiado caro y sobrevalorado. Fuimos a este restaurante hace unos años. Hemos regresado con esperanza, y todavía es terrible. ¿Por qué tanta gente va aquí? Es un misterio.

We had dinner before going to the Holland Park opera, as we've done once or twice before. But the prices are higher than last year and we weren't as impressed with the food. I had the calves liver as my main course - really rather dry and a small segment of lemon did not help much. Other courses were ok but not all that exciting. I don't think we'll come here again.

Very cozy and amazing italian cousine!

Amazing Pasta! This was one of the best pasta we have ever eaten. Try fish ravioli & lemon sauce tagliolini. It was empty during the day. Service good. tiramisu ok. Prices slightly above average (£15-20 per pasta).

Visited for dinner whilst staying at a nearby hotel. The restaurant looked good and was comfortable, but the staff could do with being a little more welcoming.

Pre theatre bite to eat. Amazing cod dish and a fabulous vegetarian pasta. Will definitely be revisiting.

It usually is difficult to mess up Italian food, but Edera managed it. Minestrone soup - at £12 a pop - lacked either tomatoes or pasta; an asparagus risotto arrived like an over-large dollop of porridge with minimal actual asparagus; and my ravioli was drenched in a tomato sauce which swamped any other taste. The fact that my wife and I both left condiserable portions of food uneaten elicited no inquiries from the waiting staff as to why we had been so abstemious. The final bill for almost £90 confirmed my view that this was a meal which simply had to be chalked off to experience. I much prefer giving favourable reviews, but apart from the bread, this meal was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

service average , minestrone soup llike never tasted before, sent it back , main course ok wine very overpriced

Le peggiori vongole della mia vita

Restaurant was very quaint yet elegant. Servers were very professional and the food was outstanding. I had Veal but my friend had the salt fish. Both were great.

Ok! Food is si so, mostly older guests

Tuvimos una pequeña cena de negocios de grupo aquí, lo que siempre hace que sea difícil saber si la comida / servicio es diferente si se come como un cliente habitual. En cualquier caso, todo era normal. Por debajo de la media estaba la sala privada, ya que los servidores no cerraban las puertas y hacía mucho ruido. No sería mi primera opción si necesito reservar otra vez.

Very nice food.tables seemed a little close so could hear everyone elses conversation except my own but service very good

Party of 4 , none of us had pasta which may have been a mistake.The Veal Milanese was not good ,nor was the Tiramisu.<br />The food lacked skill and presentation . It had been recommended by a local , maybe the chef was having an off night . I wish I had tried the pasta.

We had walked past this restaurant several times during our stay in the Holland Park area. Decided to stop in for our last night. Very pleased overall. Staff was pleasant and professional and we definitely enjoyed our food. We shared the calamari and zucchini to start and then as our entrees we had the veal ravioli and the pappardelle with wild boar ragu. Both were quite tasty! And the little biscotti that came with the check were a great ending. Enjoyed a nice glass of Cabernet while my husband discovered a new beer.

Just very good pasta - authentic Italian cooking and very good service

Superb food , wine and service. The Spaghetti a la Bottarga and Tagliolini ccio e pepe are the best in town by a country mile

Nice looking restaurant, but sadly the food disappointed. Milanese Schnitzel felt a little rushed and the veal was quite stringy, roast potatoes were undercooked and fried courgettes were fried in same batter as schnitzel. For an upscale Italian, I was disappointed.

Menu in the restaurant is different to online. The food is very expensive, and portions inadequate. Ordered sea bass, which only came with courgette, no potatoes at all. Still hungry after dessert. Go to another Italian.

Really good food quite expensive

We always try visit Edera when we ate staying in Holland Park and it never disappoints. Great food although a bit pricey (but on par with other restaurants in the area).

Excellent, highly recommend the boar ragut pappardelle !

I was walking down the road on the mood for a casual meal - pizza and beer. Saw this restaurant and walked in.

Came here solo on business trip. Would be a great place as a couple or a few friends. Fresh pasta was spectacular and good wine list. Service is average staff not overly friendly but that did not take away from the experience.

Excellent Italian cuisine. There is a black truffle menu but none of the dishes were available probably because there was no truffle but no explanation was given. Overall it was a disappointing experience because the service was generally poor: very inexperienced waiter/waitress who could barely speak English. Had to signal to the waiting staff for pretty much everything. It got tedious after a while. I’m a fan of the food though.

Nos adentramos en Edera mientras visitábamos Londres y Holland Park por primera vez. Afortunadamente llegamos temprano con una reserva, el lugar se llenó rápidamente y estaba ocupado para la noche del martes. La comida era muy buena. El servicio no es tan atento como me hubiera gustado, pero muy profesional y educado. Más preocupado por no entrometerme, creo.

Good service and staff excellent, although ordered Dover sole for main course and was disappointed. I’ve eaten Dover sole loads of times but never like this! Tasted very rubbery.

Very disappointed. Poor greeting on arrival . Staff unfriendly throughout the evening, no smiles. Seemed not to care about the customers. Food disappointing. I had salmon which came served on green beans. That was it... the dish needed more variety of flavours on the plate. A separately ordered side dish of courgettes came in a heavy batter and did not go well with the salmon. Very expensive for lack lustre food. In this area of London you would be much better off to dine at the Belvedere in Holland Park or go up the road to Nottinghill to one of the eateries there. <br />Would not go there again for glum dinning and poor quality Italian food. Come on guys make an effort.

Busy restaurant in Holland Park eben on a weekday. Food was good although the portions were a little on the small side. Tiramisu is to die for
