Enoteca Turi in Wandsworth

Siamo stati ospiti dell enoteca turi a cena il 5/12/2018 in una location elegante , accolti in modo esemplare dal proprietario . Abbiamo degustato degli ottimi piatti accompagnati da vini di altissima qualità ,servizio impeccabile ,complimenti davvero , esperienza da ripetere

Enoteca Turi is a family-run restaurant with truly Italian flavours, elegant and delicious definitely will go back

Sono stata qui perche' avevo letto le recensioni positive ma per me non e' stata una bella esperienza. Ho ordinato della pasta grossa ma era totalmente cruda (non al dente ma cruda) al punto che non sono riuscita a mangiare nulla. Il resto dei piatti era discreto ma non eccezionale. Locale carino e il titolare e' molto gentile.

I was lucky enough to dine at Enoteca Turi a few month back and I can tell you this restaurant is everything you can expect from an Italian restaurant. Warm welcome, authentic staff, divine food. This restaurant is definitely a place to go. Cesare and his team on the floor are doing a wonderful work, they are all so friendly and professional. The Chef is very talented. Do yourself a favour and visit it, you won't be disappointed. I cannot wait to go back and try their summer menu. Many thanks Team Enoteca Turi!!!!

My first visit and I was reasonably impressed with the food.although its not cheap.I suppose in this location the overheads are high.Pasta with prawns was good and the prawns were succulent, the linguine OK but a bit too al dente for my taste. STARTER SIZE £15Main of sirloin with leaks £32 cooked as ordered but meat a little bit firmTiramisu sort of deconstructed was £9 not amazing and overpriced.The diners were mainly 58-80 years old

Chose set lunch option. Recommendations of wine for each course, very helpful with very large wine list. Wine can be bought by glass, carafe (500ml) or bottle. Food excellent , portions on small side. Minor quibble is that might need to order extra vegetables. Great choice for celebratory meal if you like good wine.

Group of 6 went for dinner tonight. Great food, drink and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. Definitely will return.

Prima gegeten.Moderne en chique inrichting.Personeel zeer correct.Zeker een Michelinster waardig.Mooi opgediende borden, ware creaties.Anitpasta: makreel, primi: maltagliata, secondi: bacala en tarbot.Dessert: tiramsù en affogato.Mooie wijn'bijbel-boek'. Keuze te over!!Wij wilden iets buiten de kaart om, maar dat was geen probleem.Top eettent met top eten.Zeker de moeite waard!!!!!

Tres bon Diner, raffiné comme on voudrait en trouver plus souvent! Bon accueil, service Tres correct deco au goût du jour, on y retournera Tres vite

All in the title: I happily pay high price for excellent food and in that respect, the restaurant serves an innovative and good cuisine. But the quantities served are so small that you end up eating the bread in order not to starve at the end of the dinner. Those ridiculously small portions - at high prices - are quite unusual, even in five stars restaurants. And discourages a second visit, despite the nice service.

I have been there for a romantic dinner. We heard Enoteca turi from internet as one of the best Italian restaurant in London. Placed in amazing area, nice environment as Italian's regions pictures on the wall. We ordered 2 dishes, one meat and one fish. Wonderful dessert and amazing Italian wine. We'll came back absolutely. Price not to high. The best service and staff.

The food, wine and service are some of the best in London. Easily the best in Belgravia. The menu changes frequently and the wine list is very long with some of the best Italian vines available.

Siamo stati io e mio marito per il suo compleanno ed entrambi ne siamo rimasti entusiasti...per l atmosfera..il servizio..le due parole scambiate con il titolare che ci hanno fatto sentire a casa...e il cibo ovviamente!!5 stelle sotto tutti i punti di vista...

sono andata in questo ristorante con la famiglia: locale accogliente e personale gentilissimo. Cibo raffinato, con prodotti italiani di qualità, cucinati con competenza e fantasia da un giovane chef italiano.Ovviamente il prezzo è alto, ma trattandosi di una città come Londra questo non sorprende.

I'd been to the predecesor restaurant, Tinello, at this same location on Pimlico Road a few years back. I was suitably impressed by Tinello's Tuscan fare, so thought we'd give Enoteca Turi a try with another couple for our monthly 'binge and discuss' session.The place looks very much the same, albeit dressed up a bit. Small restaurant, perhaps 20 tables, not too tight and certainly a bit of ambience. Wish they'd left the exposed brick alone, painting it gold doesn't accomplish much. Nonetheless, our monthly session is all about food and wine. Demonstrating extraordinary depth, the wine book is a worthy journey across all Italian wine regions, with options available at all price levels and some nice choices of vintage. If you're into Tuscan reds, there is extraordinary depth here. About a 3x markup as you'd expect of a nice dining establishment,The food menu was interesting, certainly a fairly long way from traditional Italian, best considered a gourmet approach. We apparently visited during artichoke season (never really knew there was a season for that), so an additional list of specials. The food was well prepared, all of it perfectly cooked... albeit with a layer of complexity I don't usually associate with Italy... on some dishes it felt like they were trying a bit too hard, where fewer flavours and sauces would have shown better. The dessert menu was short and very creative, you would be forgiven if blindfolded for not guessing Italian... again, very high quality, just not 'of type.'The big letdown for us was the service. It was reasonably crowded for a Wednesday, I can only hope they were down a server or two. Wine service was non-existent, we managed our own pours through much of the meal. The time taken to order was on the long side, the servers all appeared busy - just not attending to anyone. We had to request bread, then request olive oil... all of which should have been placed when our drinks arrived. We asked for red and white wines to arrive together, so everyone had a choice based on dishes... the waiter filled all glasses with white - big miss. My main course, a pasta with prawns and artichokes, wasn't to the "liking" of the chef, so I asked my companions to start their mains as mine was promised in "about 4 minutes." Twenty minutes later my dish arrived, and I had the pleasure of my friends onlooking as they had long finished! While they kindly removed the cost of my main and the desserts as a nice gesture, that didn't really make up for poor service throughout a pricey meal.Hard to recommend based on our experience.

We came here with friends on the recommendation of many and had a delicious dinner with charming and attentive service. The presentation of each course was artistically displayed and full of original flavours. There is also an acoustic ceiling which makes for easy conversation. Quite a different experience from the traditional Italian restaurant and will certainly return to explore the menu further!

Eccellente è l'unica parola con cui è possibile definire la mia esperienza, il ristorante, lo staff, l'ambiente e la cucina. Spero che presto ottengano una stella Michelin perché la meritano tutta! È difficile scegliere quali piatti siano i più buoni perché è tutto buono. Lo chef è bravissimo e in ogni piatto che prepara ci mette tanto cuore e tanta passione. Bravo Francesco!

I visted Enoteca Turi with my sister for her 50th Birthday celebration last night. It was the first time we had eaten here but had been attracted by the sensible small regional Italian menu and our experience of eating across Italy. The atmosphere was a perfect balance between family trattoria and formal ristorante. Given its location in SW1 London, prices were not budget but ultimately reflected the care, thought and proper execution in the kitchen so the bill was reflective of our indulgence in both the food and the wine. My cod cheeks, gunard pasta, lamb and chocolate desert were top drawer and served with grace and poise by both the female a male staff. What a delight to be treated so respectfully and attentively but not at all with any pressure to drink or spend. Clearly other diners were accustomed to the personal service and the ambiance was just so warm and a real reminder of what it is to eat in off the tourist track London Italian restaurants. The only quibble I had was my glass of sweet red dessert wine was not quite as smooth as expected. Otherwise this was a very fine meal indeed and the extremely tasteful portion of complimentary birthday dessert was as classy as I have ever experienced. If you know your Negroni, Carciofi, Cavolo Nero and Grappa this place is not to be missed. My go to memories will be the silky pasta, the chick pea and black cabbage and the olive oil ice cream. Overall a wonderful balance between up market dining and the real deal Italian food supported by a relaxed and very professional front of house team. One day I will return to do some serious damage on the wine list. Go if you have eaten proper Italian food!!

Thank you so much. What fantastic food in a lovely atmosphere. We were made to feel special but were also given space to savour and enjoy the marvellous food and wine! Outstanding deconstructed cheesecake with basil ice cream has to be experienced. This is a very special place and we will be returning!

We first ate in Enoteca Turi in November and we were reasonably impressed, suggesting it wouldn't be too long till we were back. And indeed today we were back for lunch. Now it's not that common for me to review a restaurant twice. Generally it means that there is a conflict between what I thought at the end of the first visit and what I think now, and that's the case here. Today we ate between us five courses from the a la carte menu; three starters , and two pasta main courses....

I did enjoy Turi. It is a professional and warm service restaurant. I'm sure it has a regular clientele. My pasta entree and meat main course were more than acceptable. The wine list was strong of course on Italian wines and a good selection. My only comment is the tables are a little close together and more space would be an improvement.

This is one of the finest Italian restaurants in London. What An experience. Better is almost impossible. The venison with blue cheese is superb and the wine'...... No words for it. And the service! Thank you for the eventing. We're in heaven

Sono stato di recente a cena in questo ristorante vicinissimo a casa mia e come sempre sono stato accolto con il calore e la simpatia di sempre!È sempre un piacere cenare qui e la qualità è sempre al top ! Lo consiglio a chi vuole mangiare bene a Londra nella parte della città tra le più prestigiose (Chelsea).Cucina italiana con variazioni interessanti e servizio impeccabile!Ottima la cantina (... un po cara..) e ottima la locationCome sempre ... ci tornerò volentieri!

They moved from Putney for a better location in Pimlico and......they got it but the food's quality worsened.It is still good but not as it was back in the Putney's days.Prawns were and the monkfish were ok.The desserts are copying the famous ones proposed by Heston Blumethal but nobody can copy his genius.The service is still very good.

Visited Enoteca with my Italian brothers and sisters. They are fussy about genuine Italian home cooked cuisine and their choice speaks volumes for Enoteca Turi. It is indeed fantastic. Traditional Italian served with warmest of hospitality, interesting and enticing specials and intriguing desserts. Fit for special and family occasions. I will be going back.

Had a wonderful evening at Enoteca. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and we were welcomed at the door by the charming hostess and seated. The menu was very interesting, beautifully presented and delicious. I started with the carpaccio of beef with an anchovy cream which was supberb, followed this with the monkfish - light and sublime and perfectly cooked and finished with the blood orange done 3 ways. The chef has an extremely light touch and one left the restaurant feeling pleasantly replete but not overfull. The remainder of the party had the pasta with gurnard, the burrata, the 7 layer chocolate sponge, the tiramisu - all of which was declared exceptional by them. The service was also a delight. The wonderful Maitre D really knew his stuff and was extremely helpful with both food and wine with excellent information on both and also had a few moments to chat informally. The waitress was efficient and equally delightful. Altogether it was one of the most enjoyable evenings that I have spent in a London restaurant. We noted, in particular, it was full of Italians also enjoying the food - what better recommendation!Thank you to everyone at Enoteca Turi - it was faultless.

I've enjoyed eating at this restaurant in the past when it was based in Putney, but now the menu is at a whole new level of originality and sophistication, from the complex combination of flavours to the presentation on the plate. It was difficult to decide what to order as there were so many items I would have liked to try. My friend had melt-in-your mouth cod with crispy cod belly and vanilla cauliflower - vanilla cauliflower?! Well the dish tasted amazing - I was glad that my friend let me have a nibble of it. I had venison with a blueberry and blue cheese sauce and it was delicious. The desserts were great too and unlike anything I've had anywhere else.

Pam and Giuseppe know how to do it. Original menu impressive wine list and amazing food. All you ever wanted.

Just wanted a lightish lunch as we prepared for our NY eve dinner party, so we popped into Orange Sq. and found Enoteca Turi open where Tinello had previously been. The restaurant is simply furnished with nice crisp linen tablecloths and napkins. Pleasant staff, sadly the restaurant was empty at 1pm, but then town was very quiet on NY eve day. We had a refreshing pomegranate and prosecco aperitivo my veal kidney and artichoke starter was simple but pleasant. The pumpkin and gorgonzola risotto was excellent as was my wife's veal pasta. The chocolate and pomegranate desert was very pleasant. We had a. ice carafe of pinot bianco reasonably prices. It was exactly what we wanted a simple light delicious lunch. Italian cooking at its best in this simply understated family run Pimlico restaurant.

My favourite London Italian, or maybe even my favourite Italian restaurant. Wonderfully warm welcome, attentive and knowledgeable Maitre d and sommelier. And that's before you even get to the food. The menu changes regularly and presents lots of seasonal delights and well chosen wine pairings. Relaxed yet sophisticated decor and convivial atmosphere. This place is an absolute winner.

Giuseppi Turi and his team offer a varied menu of classic and contemporary Italian dishes, and the service is friendly, knowledgeable, swift yet unhurried. The food is attractively presented, tasty, and in ample portions. The wine list is extensive, with useful descriptions of the ( mainly Italian) wines, and displaying perhaps 200 separate options to cater for the discerning palate. The sommelier proved adept in recommending choices to pair with the different dishes. The environment is bustling and cheerful.

Good size menu of Italian favourites and more adventurous dishes. All very well prepared and presented. Pleasant space with mirrors. Very helpful staff.

So many Italian restaurants outside Italy appear to have lost their roots. Enoteca Turi has not. In fact it is as refined, contemporary and "real" as any top restaurants in Italy. The wine selection is excellent and pricey but the choices as worth it. The food is exquisite. My husband and I sampled 3 different dishes each and were delighted by all. Service is attentive and happily devoid of the false servility so prominent in top of the line places now a days. Would go back any time.

Enoteca Turi was a long-standing Putney favourite of mine so was sad when they moved to central London, not that it's that far away. In any event, decided to go and try out the new location in Pimlico with some friends for lunch last Saturday and I have to say it was lovely! Food still of very high quality - I had the calves liver which was delicious and a couple of friends had the rabbit which was apparently fantastic. The wines, as ever, were wonderful from their extensive list and we tried out some new ones that I had never tasted. Always a delight and the new location is easy to get to. The décor is lovely. So I hope they do very well. And the service was seriously good. Will be back.

Started with Baccala (= brandade / salted codfish)This was two small sticks of mashed potato with hardly any taste of cod.Continued wirth osso bucco. This was a few dried out bits of meat and bore no resemblance to how the dish is usually prepared in an Italian restaurant

I held a celebration in the new private dining room at Enoteca Turi which was a great success.The room is tastefully decorated, featuring two welcoming fires on a winters day. The special menu created for me was perfect from start to finish with a good selection of choices for each course and the wine marvellous. The service was attentive but never intrusive, always friendly and making sure the little details which make a difference were covered.My guests were very impressed. This is arguably the best Italian restaurant in London offering quality, style and charm. The Italian wine list is amazing. The staff knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent!

I lunched with a group of old friends. I began with veal kidney and "roasted not roasted" artichoke. That seemed to mean fiercely grilled on one side and not directly cooked on the other. But whatever it was it tasted great. I went on to osso buco (which had a twist: the bones were not bones at all: they were potato - a sort of posh Hula Hoop). There was rather more meat than I expected in this style of restaurant. My sweet course was a most curious dish of pomegranate that defies further description, but again it was delicious.We drank excellent wines.Service was efficient and not obtrusive.

Its about a year since Zucca closed, and its left a hole in our restaurant list for a restaurant serving interesting yet traditionally- based Italian food, of good quality and without breaking the bank. Does Enoteca Turi fill that gap? Well in some ways it does, sufficiently to anticipate a repeat visit, certainly. We ate five courses between us today, and none were less than nicely cooked and presented. We ate a mix of a la carte dishes and choices from the set lunch menu. We each had a starter-...

Beautifully presented food which was so tasty, with the most pleasant service and relaxed ambience. We had been to Enoteca Turi in its previous home in Putney and really enjoyed the genuine yet lovely Italian food. But this time it was even better. Great for a special occasion. Do not miss this gem.

I was hear with a friend who had eaten in its original Putney incarnation. I shall certainly be going back! The food was excellent (I had pasta with squid in tomato sauce followed by some delicious sea-bream), the wine list extensive and the service very professional. The set lunch menu is a bargain. Atmosphere is relaxed and informal. I understand that the building-works for their wine collection in the basement are just about complete and that there will be evenings of wine tastings. I shall certainly be heading there!

Three of us went on a busy Friday night. One of our party was Italian and a regular but I have never been to a better Italian restaurant in London or Italy for that matter. The food feels like home cooking and very genuine and is beautifully presented. Wine list is outstanding. The staff are lovely - warm and welcoming. There is the ground floor area which I would recommend and more dining space in the basement which is not so great. There is a steep staircase up to the toilets which could be a problem for the less able.

We were fans of Enoteca in Putney, and this was our first visit to their new home in Pimlico. In a word - superb. Informal but smart setting, good acoustics, servioce efficient and friendly, and food wonderful. Slightly higher priced than before, but worth it.Well done Giuseppe and Pam

Questo ristorante mi é stato consigliato da un amico e devo dire che mi ha dato un ottimo consiglio.Sono venuto a mangiare con la mia ragazza e già appena arrivati ci hanno accolto con grande cordialitá, ci hanno fatto accomodare al nostro tavolo e dopo aver ordinato l'acqua ci hanno subito portato un bel cestino di pane ben assortito con grissini al parmigiano, pane di segale, pane bianco e focaccia.Per prendere l'ordine si è avvicinato il manager che con grande professionalità ha spiegato alcune portate e consigliato nella scelta. Una volta ordinato i camerieri sempre molto gentili ci hanno portato gli antipasti, di una qualitá eccellente, come anche i due primi (la calamarata di gragnano e gli gnochetti), una volta arrivati al dolce la scelta è molto difficile perché sembrano tutti golosissimi, noi alla fine abbiamo optato per una selezione di formaggi, accompagnata da un bicchiere di Porto, e un tortino alle nocciole. Ottimi!!! Sicuramente ritorneremo presto anche per visitare la nuova sala ristorante che aprirá tra poco, lo consigliamo a tutti quelli che vogliono trascorrere una serata indimenticabile e assaporare dei piatti veramente eccezionali.

I dined last night at Enoteca Turi and it was a lovely dinner. We had made a reservation and although we arrived 10 mins. late, our table was held and everyone was extremely courteous. The service was a little slow, but this was compensated by the delicious food. The waiters (especially the restaurant Manager Cesare) were extremely helpful and kind.

Enoteca Turi goes from strength to strength with a new chef to tempt diners' palates. Wonderful, tender, homemade pasta and some tempting, new meat and fish dishes leaving diners spoilt for choice. And, a superb wine selection to compliment and suit all tastes.Always a warm welcome, attentive, knowledgeable staff, stylish restaurant and a great dining experience!

I have never seen so comprehensive a wine list focussed on Italian wines. They are grouped largely by grape types and with many helpful explanations. The proprietor is amazingly knowledgeable and enthusiastic of his offerings and willing to offer advice.The food was excellent too, beautifully prepared, presented and cooked and very well accompanied by the wines. A perfect balance.Service attentive and excellent.It is quite a small restaurant so you need to book.This is a very good fine dining experience with the emphasis Italian but top Italian.

Superb from start to finish. Attentive staff, excellent wine list (and pairings - do it if you can) and excellent food. I had the spaghettini con granchio to start and the rana pescatrice con lardo di colonnata for main, rounded off by a delightful torta di frangipane. Sublime! I plan to return as soon as I can.

I have known Enoteca Turi since the days they were in Putney. Now with the location is even better and the service is outstanding. The regional selection of dishes is pretty unique and the wine pairings make it perfect particularly when there is a lot of variations within your party. The team is brilliant at creating a lovely family driven atmosphere.Great place!

This is nirvana- why? The impeccable food, the staff, the wine list. Why go to Heathrow or Gatwick when Enoteca Turi is right here. No passport required. The menu changes but if you're lucky enough to have the handmade square pasta with wild boar...you have arrived a d never want to leave. Ditch your Italy travel plans...Enoteca Turi is THE destination

Have lunched here on a number of occasions and it has always been excellent having the edge over Manicomio. However a couple of days ago, I was disappointed. The lambs kidneys wrapped in pancetta as a starter were under-cooked and the pancetta had uncooked fat which is not acceptable. Perhaps the sous chef was covering but competition is fierce in this category and mistakes like this have to be avoided. The rest of lunch was fine and up to the usual standard. However if something like this happens again, it could well be back to Manicomio.

We used to be regulars at the restaurant when it was in Putney even though we live in W1. So we were keen to return to it at it's new venue and not just because it is closer to home. We always enjoyed the food and the service. We were not disappointed. The food and the service continued the high standard set in Putney. We lunched, which is really good value with wine by the glass, suggested for each course. The food appears simple but is really tasty and appropriate portions, although we couldn't eat pudding. I started with fresh figs with proscuitto and rocket. Fabulous. And followed this with cod. Simply superb. My partner had the minestrone and medallions of pork; also superb. The service is exquisite. The restaurant has lost nothing from it's Putney roots and while the atmosphere is different it is still authentic; it's not spartan or over wrought, it's sophisticated and fits the food, if that's possible to say. We're glad it's moved because it's an area with a number of our favourite restaurants, which should be pleased to have Enotec Turi in their neighbourhood.

Authentic italian food from the north and south of Italy. The service was impecable. Nice wine list. The spaghetti with crab was delicious.

We went here to try it out since we hadn't been since it had moved from Putney.It has a different atmosphere than it did in Putney and was a little more uptight and could have done with a bit of background music.We had a good large table for the 4 os us - it was probably a 6 person table so felt a little far away from the people on the other side.The waiter was very helpful and gave good tips on food.Portions are good size.Its expensive but you know the ingredients are good. I like that on the menu it tells you what region each dish is from.

Have now been here three times - twice for business lunches and once for dinner with my wife. The food is stunning. Service is friendly, efficient but discreet.They have a verdichio at about £47 a bottle that is the finest that I have tasted.I like their vegetable anti-pasto so much that I haven't tried any of the other starters but my guests have all raved about theirs.I have twice had lamb and once the pork. All fantastic. My wife loved her fish. Good cheese selection. Very well worth a visit.

Enoteca Turi were forced to leave Putney last December by a developer determined to redevelop their building and ramp up their rent. Well-known as one of Putney's top restaurants, Giuseppe and Pamela Turi and their team were much missed this year - it was always a treat to dine there and we made a point of booking it for special occasions. When we knew some good friends from France were visiting London who knew Enoteca Turi from its time in Putney, they suggested trying it in its reincarnation in Pimlico. We were not disappointed - the same friendly, attentive welcome and delicious Italian cuisine. The menu offers, as before, wine by the glass carefully selected to match each course and this is a superb way to sample wines from the restaurant's extensive cellar and discover less-known regions and has the additional advantage of avoiding the classic dilemma of trying to choose a wine that suits everyone. The new restaurant is smaller than the previous establishment in Putney but there are plans to expand it. One touch that we really appreciated was the choice of sound-absorbing material in the ceiling which allowed us to chat freely without having to compete with the noise found in so many restaurants whose bare, contemporary décor reflects and amplifies every sound.

Excellent and consistent. Run by husband and wife.Good Italian food, seasonal variation. Always reliable.

Greeted by friendly and courteous staff. Delicious food, really authentic flavours of italian / tuscan food and a wide choice on the menu. fantastic wines and excellent service, highly recommend.

A corner of Italy in London! Let's start with the wine list: the most extensive selection of regional and classic Italian wines I have ever seen outside Italy with a number of well known varieties along with others produced by niche independent wine makers. Food is excellent, pasta is all dente and everything else comes across and tastes exactly like if you were in Italy. A little hidden gem worth exploring to impress friends and family!

We used to dine in Enoteca in Putney and ventured this evening to the new restaurant in Chelsea. We really like the new venue, chic abd modern with a lovely ambience. The staff are professional and very friendly. The food was exceptional this evening - all dishes were divine. I loved my tiramisu! We are so pleased this gem from Putney is proving a success in Chelsea. We'll be back soon. Thank you Pam and team.

This used to be our favorite restaurant place to eat in Putney. They have moved to a new location. We decided to test it out. Great food, try the kidney starter followed by the lamb main and Tiramasu. Wonderful wines also. The staff are mostly all the same as before and the owner comes out to greet us as always. I would reccommend this place to everyone who loves Italian food. Also its not over priced. We will go back.

Lovely friendly couple who run this restaurant with excellent supporting staff. Lots of loyal followers. Personally I felt the back to brick red walls left the place a little bear and the food was bland and really expensive for what we had. Shame as this restaurant came personally recommended from a friend who was a very long term and loyal customer when this was in Putney.

Very nice small italian in Pimlico.The service and the food were impeccable. The waiters were very helpful without beeing too intrusive which is perfect. The quality of the food was top quality as well. Massive wine list for the connoisseurs!! The only negative thing is the price of their whiskies: £11.50 for a single Talisker is very expensive. I've paid £5.50 in a gatro pub in London the week before!

If you know the old place (Tinello, RIP) you cannot expect the same experience - even after the first months, you might have hope that they will catch up, it is just a little disappointing if you expect amazing Italian food, unfortunately just another average Italian in London: and beside that they are a high-nose on their believe how good they cook and how you get treated if you step in with trainers

The former site of Tinello (RIP) has spawned another Italian restaurant, Enoteca Turi which (according to its website) was previously in Putney. As a lover of Italian food I very much looked forward to my dinner. Sadly the restaurant didn't live up to my hopes, I'm unlikely to return soon. The room is inoffensive and the service middling; all of which I can live with if the cooking makes up for it. Unfortunately it doesn't. It's all perfectly edible but you'll have forgotten it before you finish you plate. The dishes are simple, but they are not prepared with finest ingredients or skill. It's possible that in Putney this quality of cooking was good enough. I'm not sure Belgravia will be as forgiving. The owners seemed charming and I hope that they will rise to the challenge of the site.

I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant the entire experience was wonderful,a lovely warm welcome followed by exceptional seasonal dishes beautifully pared with delicious wines. We loved the truly authentic Italian dishes offered.we can't wait to return. Thank You for a delightful evening.

Greeted well by manager. shown table and welcomed satisfactorily. Starter crab pasta, beyond delicious. Members of our party ordered calves live for the mainr by all accounts was delicious. Others ordered the rabbit, just not what we thought, it was wrapped around a mousse of some description, and so unpleasant to the palate we could hardly swallow it. Should've asked for a change, but there's always a yellow streak when you're with friends who are happy with their choice. The desserts were delicious, although there was a rather unusual waiter who thought to throw the dessert cutlery on to the table, I wondered if he was there for comic effect.Not bad we'll try it again sometime. We wont have the rabbit.

We were welcomed, without having made a reservation, to a lightly populated restaurant at 12.30 for a weekday lunch. Everything is newly decorated, opened just a few weeks ago after a move from Putney. Nice breads - good free water. The set lunch was delicious, freshly cooked and original presentations of Eggs St Anna and roast quail. The Italian rose wine was fair value and the right temperature (not too cold to taste). The staff made a real effort to please. The cost was acceptable too. Very pleasing.

It is well hidden I generally had not noticed this restaurant although I have driven past it often. The decor of the restaurant is nice and fancy, I generally like restaurants that make an effort for presentation. The service is fantastic, you are not rushed, they are very polite and helpful as well. I was unlucky with my choice of mains hence the 4 and not 5*. The potato gnocchi tasted very bland and the smoked ricotta flavour was overpowering so that overall it was not received well by my palate!! I made up for it with dessert, their desserts are very good. The poached pear was very nice with the nougat pudding and their tiramisu was very nice as well. Overall it was a pleasant evening. I will repeat again that the service is fantastic. I wouldn't mind going again but they need to expand on their non-garlic vegetarian options!

My Mom and I ate here on April 5th, on our last night together. Upon arrival, the manager, Cesare, was very friendly and attentive and we were looking forward to a nice evening. Perhaps our waitress was having an off day, but we found her to be unpleasant and aggressive. I ordered the beef rib and my Mom chose the monkfish. We also ordered a carafe of Pinot Bianco. My meal was accompanied by pureed turnip and spinach. I took two bites of the beef and then tried the turnip. It was ice cold. I asked the waitress if it was supposed to be served cold. She frowned , said no and removed my plate. My Mom ate for a while but wanted to wait for my plate to re-appear so that we could eat together. Ten or fifteen minutes passed and I am now given a soap bowl plate - the turnip is hot this time (that's good!) but the meat portion was smaller. Yes, I had already had two bites but it still looked somewhat diminished. We remarked about this when the waitress came to get our empty plates. She responded in a very aggressive manner. We then decided to forego dessert and asked for the bill. She had trouble with the portable credit card reader a few times but then was successful. Upon leaving, my Mom mentioned to Cesare that we were unhappy with how things had turned out. Yes, the problem originated with the kitchen error, but the outcome would have been so very different had the waitress reacted in a friendly, competent manner.

The warm welcome from Guiseppe and Pam set the scene for an evening to remember. Pleasant staff. Delicious food from an innovative menu, all presented beautifully. The wines chosen to complement each dish.An evening to remember!

The new Enoteca restaurant has a good atmosphere and is well designed. The staff, as always, warm, attentive providing a very good quality of service. We had been to Enoteca in Putney for many years and the food was onsistently faultless. This was our first visit to the new location. Overall, we felt the quality of food was not to the level we had previously experienced. Previously,I would have described the food as having effortless authenticicity, quality, delivered with clever subtleness. We will go back to try again, but for the cost I would expect better.

Charming service in a lovely room which was previously the excellent Tinello and has changed little. They greeted us warmly and we were served homemade bread which we enjoyed (although there was no olive oil but I am sure we could have asked for some). I only wish that the food could step up a notch. I know I am being uber fussy but all of us agreed that everything was very under seasoned. My risotto wasn't "creamy" I think a different type of rice had been used but my husband loved his rabbit pasta. The portions were very large (I probably shouldn't complain but had difficulty finishing my first course!). The wine list is wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the choice we made. All in all a very nice experience but not the best Italian but with some finessing and most of all seasoning I think could make the grade.

They serve very authentic Italian dishes with some excellent tasting varieties. The food and the ambiance is superb. The wine selection is above average nearer to the top. Staff is friendly and competent on the food and the wine combination. A restaurant to recommend to your friends..

The food at this restaurant is always marvellous. The wine list is extensive and the staff very knowledgable, and helpful. The atmosphere and setting is very elegant and sophisticated yet because the staff are so friendly it all feels very comfortable.

This ought to be a first-rate local restaurant (I live round the corner, in an area with a dearth of good neighbourhood offerings), and both the dinners I've had here have been first-rate in terms of food, with friendly and attentive service. The wines, however, are overpriced, especially if you don't want a whole bottle – a glass of (admittedly good) prosecco costs more than a glass of champagne at the Goring Hotel, five minutes away, and a middle-of-the-road chianti was priced per glass as a high-end red burgundy. Not impressive. Worse than that is their insistence on a two-sitting policy – fine if you actually like dining at 7pm or 8.45pm, but really bad if trying to treat elderly relatives who do neither, or if you want to make dinner the centre-piece of your evening. I talked them out of it on the first two visits, but their now sticking to their guns (for a booking on a Monday night!) and until they change, I am going elsewhere.

We take the company for Christmas dinner every year. The staff love it. My accountant isn't quite so enthusiastic!The wine list is very good.Food is very Puglian and authentic with a good twist.The owners are really nice and the staff have all been there for years.I will be going again and again.......

What a lovely lunch we had. On the spur of the moment we chanced upon this great Italian. What a find. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. The food and wine were absolutely delicious. The owner came round to all the tables which was a lovely touch. Will certainly be returning.

once again disappointed by this Italian , expensive and so so food. My veal liver , was it actually veal , was too cooked it should by pink , very small portion ...

Buona cucina Italiana un buonissimo piatto di vitello tonnato i primi discreti e la carta vini ottima, i prezzi abbastanza alti ma per Londra giusti.. Staff professionale..

I was a regular visitor to Enoteca Turi in Putney for twenty five years and it was my favourite local restaurant. I was disappointed when they were forced to close in Putney as the food there was always delicious and seasonal, the wine list extensive and the service friendly and efficient. I therefore travelled the few miles to Pimlico with friends recently to try out the new location. I am very pleased to say that the food is still of the same excellent high quality, the wine list has not changed and the staff are still friendly, courteous and always willing to explain the menu and advise on the wine. The interior of the restaurant is stunnng and the tables are well separated so one doesn't have to listen in to other conversations.We are looking forward to our next visit.

No longer our favourite restaurant following our visit last week. Such a pity, but the ambience in their new Pimlico home has lost its warmth and gentle hum, the service has become less personal and the food just okay. The menu and wine list are pretty much the same but I imagine there must have been some people changes in the kitchen and evidently in the front of house staff. All in all, a somewhat anodyne experience. It is early days and so hopefully things will improve.

Like many we were keen to try Turi since it replaced Tinello and booked in their first weeks of opening. Teething problems can hence happen although given this is a relocation should not be too bad. The food was overall a bit disappointing and so was the service. We had the Duck ragout pasta which was OK and also the spaghettini. The dish was cold. When I mentioned this only my dish was taken away, put under the salamander and returned such that we had separate, sequential dinners. One takes both away and in top places cooks the food from scratch again, rather than reheat. Monkfish lacked seasoning and hence the whole dish was bland. I understand from friends who used to go to the old location that quality is down, an attempt was made to make it more stylish and prices are up. Not great at the price.

A very enjoyable evening in a gradually very busy restaurant. The waiters were friendly but deferential and polite. The wine list very broad and good value - we had a Pecorino – a wine I had not tasted before –good. There were interesting breads with olive oil in place. The pasta is clearly fresh and homemade and a good amount for a starter. The pappardelle were tasty and the duck ragout really good. My lamb and artichokes was lovely -the mash a bit bland and too much like semolina in constancy, but the rest excellent and unusual. There was also some very green earthy-tasting spinach. There was a miniature dessert selection for us to share as we didn’t want a whole one each. Sure it's pricey but so many unusual regional dishes and wines and excellent service. It is an original and the queues outside are a testament to the quality.

We ate dinner with friends this evening, I cannot quite believe how terrible the food was. There was an artichoke menu that I chose, it had an artichoke salad with broad beans, it was alright. The artichokes were fresh, the broad beans were few but nice, stracciatella and huge amount of garlic. Then I had artichokes, clams and fregola. It was gloup! Thick, horrible lumpy and quite disgusting. The waiter very sweetly asked me if anything was wrong, I did say that I was very heavy and not great. Two of the others had Vitello tonnato which was okayish. My main of lamb with artichokes and even more sickly gloup was tough full of sinews and four tiny pieces, not even big enough for a mouthful. Most of that was left, and a very nice lady asked me if anything was wrong and I pointed out that the lamb was tough and couldn't even be cut. There was cod ordered and pronounced very bland, and beef rib which was also not great. Having said all of that, we didn't make a fuss, but it was made clear in a very polite way that my dishes were not the best. We didn't even receive an apology or acknowledgement that they were sorry that we had had such a poor experience. If they had, that would have been sufficient. Very expensive experience and unfortunately never to be repeated. All four of us said we would not be back.

Questo ristorante vicino a casa mia ha un non so che di fantastico ... Sarà perché è molto vicino a casa, sarà perché si mangia molto bene, sara perché i gestori sono molto attenti e gentili ... Sarà perché si è a Londra ...Consiglio davvero a tutti quelli che vogliono passare una serata all'insegna della buona cucina e dello star bene questo posto! Ottimo tutto dagli antipasti alle "main course" , non saprei cosa consigliare perché tutto davvero buono!Complimenti allo chef!

It's seems a long while since ET closed in Putney in December, now in Pimlico with new decor, main chef but still high quality service, menu choices and fabulous wine list. Good luck to all for your success great to see it full on Good Friday. We had a great time and look forward to many more.

Last minute decision. And what a great idea. Food is good Italian without being the same tired recipes you normally see. The wine list is full of medium priced really interesting Italian wines. The staff are the star billing and really made the evening. Would recommend to anyone - and my husband is Italian so truly a high recommendation.

Very happy to see this restaurant start a new chapter in such a prime location - and yet - like it's owners & staff very welcoming & friendly - and not pretentious - but still keeping high quality in both its service & dishes. I really hope it's stays this way.

Enotica Turi has moved fro its Putney High street location to the heart of Pimlico taking over from Tinello. We visited the Putney premises a good few times over the past 20 years and was sorry to see it go and delighted when we saw it was opening in SW3. So we tried it out as soon as we could.They have refurbished it very well and it has a very nice modern decor. There are a couple of round tables that will take six (max) otherwise it is oblong and square. The main feature of the decor are the tremendous acoustics so that it was possible to have a proper conversation at the table all evening with out any difficulty (a first for an Italian Restaurant).The service was excellent throughout. It has a smallish menu but good choices for all courses and interesting pasta which was excellent. The wine comes by the glass bottle or half litre carafe with an additional extensive list of bottles which i did not trouble with. We started with a special of the day 'risotto morel' which was excellent scallops and spagghettini and crab. Main courses Squid and pasta (calamareta) guinea fowl and spaghettini crab as amain course, The food was very nicely presented and the meal flowed well even though the restaurant was very busy. After alittle break we had our puddings, Affagiato, panacotta and ice cream. They were all good although the affagiato was very small. Pana cotta was excellent. The pudding wine Torcaleto was Italy's finest. Excellent non cloying wine. A very nice dinner with Pimlico prices but great ambience.

I have eaten there many times when they were in Putney.To me, an Italian and lover of Italian food, it is by far the best in London

The relocating or reopening if any restaurant is always a challenge for anyone and we the customer in fairness should always give them chance to settle down into a new home . Enoteca Turi however for us has hit the ground running . The dishes have a true understanding to their terroir with references throughout the menu . Pasta all full flavoured and well executed Potato / Fonduta Cheese Ravioli where top notch , Beef Featherblade on truffled Polenta fab - the highlight was dessert Vanilla Panna Cotta with Amalfi ale on Caramel to die for ! That all said one of the main reasons apart from the food and friendly genuine service is the truly amazing wine list . The list is fantastic with hand picked Italian gems that are hard to find at great value . Expertly and passionately selected with real notes of understanding to help guide you with your choice or simply ask the expert as we did they won't dissapoint you . Great night out we will defiantly be back .

After years of regular visits at Tinello, my favourite Italian in London, I had to try this place which has taken over the location. And the location is the only thing that slightly improved, they have made it up nicely and created a warmer and brighter atmosphere. Unfortunately that's all that got better. The service is still ok, and the wine we had was very good (the wine list looks good as well), but the food was really disappointing. The Arancini were bland, the risotto was good but not very creamy, but the main courses were a real let down. 27,50£ for a tasteless fish with some burnt salad ?? Neither was the quality of the fish any good, nor was the way they prepared it. This was tinellos special quality, and they are really losing out on this. The beef was not great either, average quality meet with a boring sauce, and a totally taste free polenta (should have truffles somewhere). Feels like an average Putney restaurant that tries to be South Ken now, but pretty much failed in the process... What a pity for Tinello..

We went to this newly opened Italian family restaurant in Pimlico Road with high expectations nod for the most part these expectations were more than fulfilled The restaurant has a high pedigree having gained fame in Putney for many years The restaurant has recently reopened in Pimlico Road in the home of its illustrious predecessor Il Tinelo.The dishes are all based on different regions of Italy and are expertly prepared The wine list is huge! But do not worry,each dish on the menu is paired with a suitable wine chosen by the expert staff. We went with these suggestions and were very happy, The food was of exceptionally high standard My only slight criticism was that my starter ,a rabbit and cauliflower terrine,was rather too chilled I expect that this was because we were amongst the earliest diners on that evening.I believe the restaurant has only been open just over a week but already it is very well patronised and I feel sure that booking well in advance will be necessary. I feel sure that this venture will be a huge success!Not cheap though! But for food and wine of such excellence I came away very very satisfied.

We loved the old restaurant in Putney and this one is much more contemporary and beautiful. The service is exceptional but what lets it down is the new chef. The food was just not very good. It was very bland and not at all up to the standard of the previous chef. What a shame.

Giuseppi and Pamela Turi's restaurant in Putney was always one of my favourite haunts. Not only was their Northern Italian cuisine imaginative and original, it never failed to be excellent in preparation and taste. On top of that, their wine list was both extensive and highly informative, with Giuseppi's comments accompanying each item.However, it was always a bit of a trek from central London. This week, they opened in Pimlico Road, on the site of the former Tinello. It's an easy walk from Sloane Square and worth visiting. The menu contained a number of contemporary dishes (each marked with the region of origin) I have never seen in an Italian restaurant in London. Despite the change in chef, the quality of the food is still first class. The guinea fowl was perfectly prepared, with a delicious sauce. The service and ambiance were fine, with the Turis always on the scene.An indication of the popularity of Turi is the fact that, during the first week, the restaurant was filled with clients from his former Putney establishment. I am delighted that I now have them in my neighbourhood and intend to visit often.

This was a recommendation given by the chaps at The Royal Hospital Chelsea (they are neighbours of this restaurant) and we are so glad they did! Simply wonderful. You would be hard pressed to find a better Italian menu and wine list anywhere in London...we went mad - four courses with wine to match. We were wowed by the food, interesting, modern and above all mouthwateringly good. The duck ragout was out of this world.Knowledgable and good company the owners have put their soul into this new restaurant and it shows. The elegant surroundings twinned with an excellent location could seem like an easy win, where Locatelli failed this restaurant will surely succeed! We will be back...

Starting with the enormous wine list and the greatest traditional new modern cuisine, Enoteca Turi as a lot to teach ad the most luxury and expensive places, is not about class or extravagance environment, the main ingredients are Giuseppe Turi and Pamela Turi that after 20 years of dedication and growing knowledge they still express them confidence and willing to go forward.I worked in Enoteca Turi for almost 2 years and I have been there for lunch few times and yes if I have to choose Italian that the place.I'm sure the new location won't damage your creativity and the passion for food and wine.Andrea.

Just a note to those looking to visit Enoteca Turi as it's now closed in Putney.Their new address will be 87 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8PH and they expect to open mid February. Work still in progress.I wish them all the best as their food is excellent and the service very attentive.

You don't expect to find One of the finest restaurants in London in Putney High Street - but here is! An unassuming front entrance, tucked away on a street corner - here is a fine dining restaurant we can still get a table pretty easily.Turi worked in top hotels in London as a sommelier and then set up his own place over 20 years ago. The food here is top drawer. My wife and I think this is the best Italian food in London. Regional dishes, specially Tuscan and southern dominate here and for the non meat-eater there are some nice fish dishes too. Quality of ingredients are excellent and the chef knows how to present gastronomic but hearty food. As a wine lover, its also the wine list attracts me too. 250 bins, all Italian bar the champagne and port. The depth and breadth is second-to-none. I can't think of any restaurant in the UK that has a better list. And prices aren't bad too.A hidden gem!

Appalling experience. Food of mediocre quality with no tastes and very small portions. £10 for a starter of sardines (4 halves) in a bland sauce with tasteless leaves. Tasteless ravioli (8 pieces) very undercooked with a weak sauce for £17. Given we were in a large party they didn't take a credit card booking but actually charged £100 to the card before we even arrived - a fact they conveniently forgot when we asked for the bill. Terrible experience, the worst in a London restaurant for many years.
