La mia Mamma in Kensington and Chelsea

I visited here with my husband last night and I was absolutely blown away by it! We went for the set menu that was £32 (£29 before 6pm), it included a glass of Prosecco, a sharing selection of starters and a choice of pasta each. The selection of antipasti was so delicious, it was also huge!! More food kept arriving, at one point we were unsure if this was also the main course. By the time our pasta came we were actually quite full and only managed a few mouthfuls (delicious though). We ended up taking it to go! I had the cacio e pepe and my husband went with the wild boar ragu, both were delicious! Service was great, the staff were so friendly and even brought us over some nibbles to share whilst we waited at the bar for our table. Price was very reasonable too especially for Chelsea! £8 a glass for wine and all that food and a Prosecco for £32. Unfortunately we don’t live in London, if we did we would be visiting here all the time!!

Bent over backwards to make our visit fabulous. Excellent food, lovely surroundings and superb value. Stephano our waiter was very attentive and we had a wonderful lunch. We asked him to choose our food as there were 8 of us and we wanted a tapas style service. He chose well, and we had sufficient food without being over faced. The sucking pig was epic as were the pasta dishes. Couldn’t have been better. And when the bill came we were all surprised at how reasonable it was considering the location and amount of food and wine we had had.

I've been in this restaurant to celebrate my graduation and I loved it. The staff is super friendly and kind. The food is delicious. I've enjoyed the atmosphere as a family. I highly recommend it.

This is just a fantastic pure authentic Italian restaurant (no pizza) with a vast array of options on their menu. The food is nothing less than perfect and great service. I cannot put my finger on anything that could make the experience better. The food is so good that I ordered more and ended being too full to even walk to the car 😉.

As an Italian, I can confidently say that if you’re searching for an authentic Italian dining experience, look no further than this delightful restaurant in King’s Road! From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance and rustic decor transport you straight to Italy. The menu is a celebration of Sardinian flavors, featuring a range of dishes that are both traditional and innovative. Each plate is crafted with care, highlighting fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes. The starters are plentiful and exquisite, showcasing a variety of cured meats, cheeses, and vibrant antipasti that set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The malloreddus, a type of Sardinian gnocchi, is a standout—perfectly cooked and complemented by a rich tomato sauce that bursts with flavor. The seafood fregola was equally impressive, showcasing the freshness of the ocean with every bite. The main courses shine brightly, especially the lamb, which is tender and perfectly seasoned, melting in your mouth with each bite. It captures the essence of Sardinian cooking, reflecting the region’s rich culinary heritage. To round off the meal, the desserts are nothing short of heavenly. The seada, a traditional Sardinian sweet filled with cheese and drizzled with honey, is a must-try. Paired with the pistachio tiramisu, which adds a delightful twist to the classic dessert, it’s the perfect way to end your dining experience. Furthermore, what truly elevates this dining experience is the exceptional service provided by the general manager, Stefano. His professionalism is evident in every detail, from the way he greets guests to his knowledgeable recommendations. Stefano creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the family. Adding to the charm is the amazing Ida, the Italian mum in the kitchen, who brings a genuine home-cooked feel to every dish. Her passion for cooking shines through, and the experience is made even more delightful when she steps out to dance with guests, infusing the evening with joy and warmth. In a world where dining out can often feel rushed, Stefano and his team ensure that every visit is memorable, encouraging guests to savor their meals and enjoy the moment. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates quality Italian cuisine and heartfelt hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone craving a taste of Sardinia!

Stirred back memories of eating in Rome. Very friendly waitress by the name of Maria with good recommendations and an easy manner that made us feel like we were regulars!

Really great night, the staff make this place, very closely followed by some incredible and very affordable food. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Amazing food and service, this restaurant has been recommended to me a number of times by one of my Italian friends as the one to check out for a truly authentic Italian cuisine. I'm glad I finally managed to do that and it definitely didn't disappoint- go and experience it for yourself! Gracie mamma!

The place seems small inside, we sat outside but we didn't suffer from the cold thanks to the presence of the heaters and perhaps it was even better because the music was too loud (this is the reason for the 4 stars for the environment). The food, however, was really excellent, different choices and portions that were right and well served; prices are slightly high if you inevitably end up comparing them with Italy, but here in London they are average. Highly recommended.

We are Italian and we recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in London and wants to eat something that has the genuine taste of home and not industrial! Stefano and Fiore are two exceptional people, impeccable cuisine and menu. It really felt like home! We will certainly return if we happen to pass through London again and we will recommend it to friends who come! The dishes on the menu with wild boar were delicious, even the frecola was delicious ⭐️ 5 stars are few, especially for the staff, they deserve a lot!

Warning! When you book it says table is for 90 minutes. But we were still eating our main course (set menu) and ten minutes before had ordered a second bottle of wine when we were asked to vacate our table and move downstairs. Then we finished the wine and ate our sweet course and just after the espresso was served we were asked to pay and leave. This is not what I expect from an Italian restaurant. I don’t expect to be hurried. Especially when paying over £80 per person. Food was good quality and plentiful. But a restaurant experience with friends should always be about the overall experience not just the food quality. Hence the low score.

Ho pranzato con mia figlia presso questo ristorante, con prenotazione. Ci è capitata la cucina sarda ed essendo piemontesi, è stata una bella sorpresa. Malloreddu alla Campidanese e malloreddu al pesto con ricotta di pecora, serviti direttamente in padella e porzioni abbondanti; come antipasto melanzana al forno con fonduta di formaggio e salsa basilico, tutto molto buono, 2 caffè offerti. Prezzo adeguato e servizio abbastanza veloce, posto per buongustaio ed estimatori della cucina italiana.

Amazing food and beautiful people!! My first time in here was absolutely unforgettable 🥰

Best meal ever in London - the concept is unreal and makes you feel right at home. Thanks for making my mum’s 60th one to remember. Mamma Ida - Grazie!

Fantastic people and amazing food! Highly recommend ❤️

I had an amazing dining experience at La Mia Mamma in Chelsea! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a delightful meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring everything was just right. The food was outstanding – authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Each dish felt like a little piece of Italy, prepared with love and tradition. it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be coming back!”

One of the better meals I’ve enjoyed in 60 years of dining in the Capital. The food, welcome and atmosphere are difficult to surpass and the prices are surprisingly reasonable.

I took my fiancé to "My Mum" in Chelsea for her birthday! Excellent service, every time entering this restaurant, it's like feeling at home in Italy, for the environment, the music, the quality of the fresh ingredients that are chosen and last but not least the service of the staff, fabulous, especially the manager Stefano, excellent person, very helpful, kind and super professional. They offer services for birthdays and special events! The pastas are the house specialty! You absolutely must try it with your eyes closed, you can definitely find real Italian cuisine here 👌

If I could put more stars for service I absolutely would! Thank you so much to the amazing team, especially Stefano for another incredible night at La Mia Mamma. This restaurant is unlike any other. Best service and delicious food and drinks. Definitely recommend.

Incredible service and incredible food. But the experience was made by Stefano the GM- simply the best!

Stefano (the general manger) at Kings Road in La Mia Mamma was simply amazing! His service was exceptional! I will definitely come back! Thank you, Angela Bubu

It has the feel of a family restaurant, and the amount of food is probably what your mother thinks you are not full for. You can order appetizers plus pasta or main, but don’t order them all, as the portion will definitely be so big that you won’t be able to finish it all.

The food is always good—the bruschetta they serve at the beginning is always amazing in every location

A nice little Italian place with lovely food and good fast service, a little expensive but not ridiculous given the location. Was a little dim inside but good atmosphere generally and we had a really nice meal.

The first time I came here I felt at home. Food is extraordinary, the staff is kind and fun and the location is marvelous. Definitely 5 stars.

We saw this restaurant featured on a TV article in Canada. After seeing the story behind the restaurant and the look of the delicious food they prepared, we made it a goal to visit this place when we were in London. It didn’t disappoint! The atmosphere was welcoming, staff were very kind and attentive and the food was excellent! There’s no worry about not getting enough to eat at their set 2 or 3 course dinners, they’re huge. I felt it was good value for your money - especially in an expensive city like London. Visit this restaurant if you can. It’s worth it.

This restaurant just became my favourite italian in London! Starters are all amazing, caccio e peppe pasta was incredible.. and ghe service is also SO GOOD. Really recommend , and will come back soon!

Amazing place - such a wonderful atmosphere and incredible food - Stephano was fantastic

I enjoyed the authenticity of La mia mamma. The cacio e pepe was cooked al dente and the flavor was on point adding the truffle shavings was worth it. The ribeye was overcooked but had great flavor. The service here was awesome, the ladies are very welcoming.

The carbonara was an egg broth...

ONE of the BEST MEAL!! I can’t even describe how delicious was the food… and the service as well. Thank you all for accommodating me and my partner 10th anniversary. She loved it!

I can't recommend this place enough. I went with a friend for an aperitif and some nibbles. We had the best time, enjoyed the drinks and food and loved the warmth and welcoming treatment received by the restaurant manager and staff alike!!

I had very high hopes for this place but unfortunately I ended up quite disappointed… the atmosphere was so lovely, especially the nonnas running around, giving us random pieces of pizza, the servers very funny and kind, and the decor making it all a wonderful place to be. However, some things were not to our liking: the fact that the menu does not price the pastas (which can be ordered separately from the set menu) is confusing and made for a very arduous ordering process. The drinks took very long to arrive, as did the first course. Serving was unfortunately clumsy and disrupted the conversation frequently. We had to repeatedly ask for the same thing because they kept forgetting that we’d asked for them. Now the first course was wonderful, nothing to complain about there: we loved every dish we had and I will be thinking about the sweet, cream-based one for a very long time. But then it took a very long time to have the table cleared and again, way too long to receive the pasta. By the time we received the pastas I was frankly not hungry anymore. And then the pasta arrived and it was… underwhelming. I had the rigatoni alla Norma, which fell completely flat and was salty to the point of leaving an unpleasant aftertaste, and my partner had the pistachio-pesto pasta, which she had a few bites of and then had to abandon and leave uneaten; it was an overall unbalanced meal. This was all very disappointing given how much we enjoyed the starters and the fact that this place is known for its pastas. And then the bill. Goodness, it took a very long time to get the bill. And then when we got it, it was wrong. Everything just took a very long time, making me wonder if the service charge of 13% was justified. Not sure, to be honest. In total, we spent three hours at this place and by the end of it I could not wait to finally leave. I don’t think that’s the vibe one should have after a meal at this kind of place. So, in conclusion: 5/5 stars for the nonnas, 4/5 for the atmosphere, 3/5 for everything else. 3/5 overall, because the food is always the most important. Underwhelming and overpriced for what we got.

Not a great visit unfortunately. It took around 15 minutes and us asking the staff just to get water and menus. Another 10 minutes to place the order, again after trying to get someone’s attention. I got the Rigatoni Alla Norma which was extremely salty. I wanted to order the bruschetta as I saw it being served, they said it’s complementary so there was no need to order, however it wasn’t served to us! The staff is definitely friendly but they weren’t attentive. However, the classic tiramisu I ordered for dessert was delicious!

Cozy ambiance, welcoming staff and delicious fresh pasta

This place The staff ,the food ,the atmosphere and the venue all amazing The general manager is a breath of fresh air - honest , kind , genuine and funny I will continue to come here to eat when in London and recommend to everyone I know We had the best time ❤️☺️🙏🏻

Lovely place, amazing food and best staff, in particular I want to thank Maria for her service that was excellent!

Amazing food, amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Maria, who took care of our service was the best! Extremely nice, friendly and always attentive to our needs. Highly recommended!

I was there one evening with my girlfriend, a wonderful service!! Especially from Stefano and his team. Nice and very friendly guy!! Very good food, fresh pasta and excellent ingredients, even the tiramisu With pistachio was delicious !!

Rating this restaurant 5 stars is an understatement. It deserves 10 stars. We were overwhelmed with the amazing food, service and atmosphere that this restaurant gave to us. The prices were affordable, the quality of the food incredibly good and the staff was very welcoming and very professional, Federico, in particular, has been amazing with us, going above and beyond. This restaurant, is simply the best restaurant I have been to. It gave us such a nice feeling that it's hard to forget. Thanks again guys for the amazing experience and night! Ciao, for now!

The most Italian food in London.. It was amazing

Stefano is warm, caring and an amazing host!! And la mamma Ida is a sweetheart who made our night extra special!! We had a great night with excellent food and unique service.! Thank you !!

We were recommended and it was a total success. Both in the service, very kind and friendly. The food was delicious, the two pastas we ordered were very delicious! One with carbonara and the other with pistachio, pesto and ricotta

What an incredible night! Insanely delicious food supplemented with the best customer service. Stefano and Frederico were particularly excellent and I truly felt like I was in an authentic Italian home. We went to celebrate my brother's graduation - thank you to all!

Moms never disappoint!!! Best Italian restaurant in London!!! Ok maybe not the cheapest but go out with a full belly and a smile!!

We came here for my friend’s birthday - food was amazing (especially the pistachio pesto pasta and the tiramisu) and it was my friends birthday and they surprised her by singing etc without us asking - service was amazing couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you!

The food was amazing, so tasty!! We ordered the set courses for pasta and the pistachio tiramisu. Loved it!! The only thing was we were so full of all the starters that we couldn't finish our entire main course. But the restaurant allowed us to pack it up. 5 stars for everything!! Also, the mama who served us was so cheerful & cute!!

Amazing gift to be in one of the best original Italian restaurants.

Very warm, very nice and fun people. The food is tasty, but could be better.

Often in Italy you don't eat as well as in this restaurant. Regional menu that changes periodically, at the moment it is Sardinian. On midweek, the formula is excellent at £29.90 with prosecco, starters and first course.

A really goos authentic Italian. The pasta was fresh and delicious, and the portions were epic. I got the beef rib but one of the mamas offered us pasta tasting. Even the bread was just delicious!

Great food great people. Stefano is a legend and an amazing professional

11/10 meal and experience! I’ve tried many restaurants in London but this one really stood out. Firstly, it’s great value for money - we had the set menu. You definitely won’t leave hungry as the Mamma is constantly cooking at the front of the restaurant and often delivers extra dishes on the house. Secondly, we had great service from all of the staff members serving us. Thirdly, we were celebrating a birthday and they made it extra special with a plate of desserts, sparkler, and singing / dancing to fun birthday music! This is a must try for tasty food and all round vibes!

As an Italian American who’s lived in London for six years, this has been one of my best experiences in the city ever. Rashan and Stefano both made the night extremely fun and pleasant, and the mammas cooked incredible food. Our region was Sardinia, which was regional Italian food we don’t normally find. It was absolutely incredible. The food is delicious and filling, the atmosphere is fantastic, and we just had an amazing time. We live nearby and plan on making this a regular destination. Thank you to the entire team, especially Rashan and Stefano!

Good food, nice place, friendly and helpful staff. I recommend it

Absolutely delicious! Me and my friend came for lunch and got the set menus. So much food for only £30 per person! The service was also very good and homely. Highly recommend!

We had one of the best dinners of our life at La Mia Mamma Kings Road. The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing. The mammas are so welcoming and made sure you had a great meal just like your own mamma or grandma would. The manager Stefano really elevated everyone’s experience - including kindly carrying a couple’s stroller down steps for them. You could feel the warmth and love in every inch of this space and especially in every sip and bite!

On of the best Italian restaurants in Chelsea. Tasty cuisine from Sardignia. Staff very friendly and they know their wines. Gracie.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish at La Mia Mamma. Staff are so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was delicious and portions are so generous. Such a lovely touch that all staff gathered round to sing a beautiful Italian birthday song for my mum's birthday with a sparkler in the pudding 💜

The manager who served me was so lovely and made me feel at home immediately! The food was amazing especially the cacio e Pepe. Atmosphere and music was great too, with the friendly staff making it memorable

Possibly the best service I experienced in London. Frederica was brilliant in anticipating any questions that we may have about dishes. I loved that it wasn't another standard italian restaurant, but change their menu to reflect food from different regions in Italy.

Best Italian food I have ever eaten out of Italy. Try it when in London.

We just love this place, so very very good and just has that "feel"!! We were here about 3 years ago, sona continuing go to place when in London!

I am Italian and I can guarantee that this place it’s really authentic and services and food are exactly like in Italy. Highly Recommended. Gianluca

The best Italian restaurant in London by far. I'm Italian and I feel at home every time I come here. The manager Stefano is the number 1 and I can't recommend this place enough. It worths every single pence.

Excellent quality Italian food, family atmosphere, beautiful location and the mothers are super good especially with desserts. I recommend it.

Authentic Italian food served in an informal Italian manner

I felt at home Welcoming staff, great quality cuisine throughout, in a truly very refined environment. I will definitely return. Congratulations to grandmother Marta and her wonderful food. The manager Giuseppe was uniquely friendly.

I love Italian food and let me tell you this was some of the best Italian I've ever had. I got 2 pastas. The Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Pistachio Pesto. I love Cacio e Pepe and this was the best one I've ever had. The sauce was not salty and in fact thick and creamy. The Pesto one was unique with the crunch from the pistachio. If you dip the Pesto Rigatoni into the Cacio e Pepe sauce it's to die for. The cannoli was homemade. You could see the person making all the desserts as soon as you walked in. The cannoli had a good crunch and the filling was the best part, not too sweet and overpowering, perfectly in the middle of sweetness and creaminess. Highly and most definitely recommend.

Great food and really good energy from the staff! :)

Very welcoming place, very kind staff and wonderful food! We returned home happy and with a nice full belly thanks to "our Mom".

What good fresh ale Tribute drink thanks Hanna You're doing something good even though you're not here . Happy Pride.

Excellent food and wait staff! Amazing location.

Incredibly delicious. Clear recommendation. Very tasty pasta. Relaxed and very friendly service. Very attentive. The ambience is rather dark, but very nice decoration. Overall high quality.

Excellent pistachio pasta, my all time top. The set menu though is too much to consume humanly.

Great food and great service. Everything was more than perfect. Well done to the manager Stefano 👏

Food was nice but did not have the whow factor

I had a quick lunch break here, but Federica managed to give me a great experience! I had the bigoli cacio e pepe and as an Italian, I can say it was delicious! 🙌🏼 Definitely going back for more!

Delicious Italian food and great service:)

Incredible concept and food! I have been there a couple of times and Stefano has always been very polite, professional and fast. It's not important when you go (lunch or dinner, Monday or Saturday) you will always find a friendly environment with an incredible quality/price ratio.

This place is a great location to enjoy food and catch up with friends, it has a relaxed pace, that staff are excellent and so is the food. Even though you might be stuffed when you leave. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a little more space between the tables.

Beautiful place, fantastic and family atmosphere. Everything was delicious, we were there two different evenings in one week to try different dishes and we were delighted. You can really feel that they are dishes cooked with selected, fresh products....a discovery!!! The guys who made us feel at home were fantastic... Stefano, Michela, Federica and mother Ida, a force of nature ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the best meals we've had in London. Came for my best friends birthday and everything was incredible. Got set menus and loads of food, really tasty and fresh and the staff were so welcoming and.made such an effort to make his birthday special. I'm definitely coming back! The service really stood out in a city where it can often be disappointing this was so great!

Proper Italian mamma food! Stefano, Federica and mamma Ida are so lovely, professional and funny. Definitely recommended!

Best dining experience we had in London. Food is probably the best Italian I've ever had. Service was very good but the food was amazing. If you visit or live in London...a must go.

Very dull, dark, chaotic, noisy environment. Terrible service, staff doing what they want, they don't seem on duty but it seems like they are at the bar with friends. Little attention to the customer, little discretion, little professionalism, the manager doesn't even manage the staff but gives them support, there is no discipline. Apulian menu that had very little that was Apulian. The starters consisted of: Stracciatella (not fresh), caponata (good), strips of cold aubergines (you could only taste the mint, they had no flavour) fried fish (lukewarm, soaked in oil, you could feel that it was reheated and not freshly made), fish and cold potatoes (you could only taste the garlic), Neapolitan ragù (decent), parmigiana (not bad). Arancini that were cold, so they were pre-cooked and reheated like everything else. Orecchiette with turnip tops wasn't good at all, the pasta was fresh but you couldn't taste the turnip tops, then that bread crumble that shouldn't even be there, really not. Primitivo beef ribs were the only good dish. One of the staff was walking around the restaurant with the orecchiette in his hand, I would recommend at least using a plate/container to transport the ingredients. The manager turned on the music and started singing at the top of his lungs. Honestly, I've never seen all this anarchy in a restaurant in London. We will certainly not be returning and will not recommend the place to anyone.

The food was very good and quite abundant. We didn’t like though that something that was specified as a menu item that we took we got charge extra for it even though it wasn’t clearly specified. It wasn’t clear as well that there would have been a 15% service on top. So I think would be better to clarify better how things work and extra expenses and drop items that are not fully included in the menu from the menu

Everything very good .properly Italian food . The atmosphere and waitress are nice and friendly. I recommend this place. We will come back for sure .

A place to feel at home! Thank you Mamma Ida because this evening you brought me back the flavors of my Italy ♥️♥️

Back to the 1960s, when Italian food was as awful as this. I've lived in London for 66 years and this is possibly one of the worst meal I have ever eaten. Faux Italian food produced by "Italian Mamas" (give me a break) whose USP is that they can't cook, dressed up as the real thing - a complete marketing schtick. The antipasti was poor enough - stone cold arancini anybody? But the pasta was inedible. Loud, chaotic service. Only redeeming feature, a nice bottle of wine - boy, did we need that.

I don't have any photos to share as we were too busy enjoying this fabulously authentic Italian feast! The concept is genius – bringing in Italian nonnas to cook the dishes they would make for their families, with a set menu curated around the region of Italy from which she hails. We enjoyed the antipasti so much that we were quite full by the time our pasta arrived, but no food was left behind as we were transported back to our travels to Italy. Many of the staff were speaking Italian. Dare I say this was better than some of the restaurants we have visited in the country itself. The entrance is very unassuming, but you'll be glad you stumbled upon this gem!

Had a wonderful meal here! Very authentic Italian and everyone makes you feel so at home. Good for vegetarians - would recommend the pistachio pesto pasta, rigatoni alla norma and the Cacio e Pepe. Also loved the pistachio tiramisu!

Restaurante is overrated by a as TV show We order 5 different dishes. No one like it the food , have no taste, Desert tastes like it was coming from a box. . .

Very nice place, the food is excellent and I also recommend it for those who have celiac disease problems, we had the opportunity to taste almost everything, appetizers (which are very vast), first courses, a very excellent cut of meat, pizza, side dishes and not to mention talk about the homemade desserts... What can I say, we were welcomed very well. I advise.

Scrumptious Italian three course meal!!!! Felt like we were in Sardinia beautiful atmosphere above all, It was absolutely outstanding service given to us by the manager Stefano with his Italian mannerisms he touched our hearts. Also Big thank you to Ida & Kawser their service too was outstanding. I would highly recommend this place🙏

Very nice atmosphere, but unfortunately very, very loud! You could hardly have a conversation. The food was good, especially the panacotta and the tiramisu!

I went on the 4th May and the food and service was good. I would like to give special mention the Mamma’s working at the front reception area. They were very friendly and hospitable. However, the male floor manager displayed very bad behaviours towards the Mamma’s. He rolled his eyes and rearranged their work area with loathsome intent. It was so obvious to patrons I felt sorry for the Mamma’s. We couldn’t believe the behaviour it was so not necessary.

"La mia mamma" is the only Italian restaurant chain in London where you can truly find what Italian cuisine has to offer. Genuine food and excellent raw materials, but above all you find FAMILY. Unparalleled

Might be the best italian restaurant i have ever been to. Extremely friendly staff, with amazingly delicious food. Portions are very generous.
