Maiella Worth in Lambeth

My favorite Italian “Abruzzo” restaurant in London!!!

Absolutely love the place. Used to go every week before my newborn - can feel like home. Very cosy atmosphere and great food.

Excellent food, intimate and inviting environment, excellent service too. The blonde waitress was very nice and approachable, quick and helpful. Super recommended!

If you’re seeking an authentic taste of Abruzzo, this is the perfect place to visit. The food is exceptional, with fresh, well-prepared ingredients. Be sure to try their signature dish: Arrosticini! The service is also outstanding. You won’t be disappointed.

An authentic dining experience of Abruzzo (central Italian mountain region), with high quality ingredients and genuine recipes. On Thursdays and Fridays they grill typical sheep meat skewers ("Arrosticini") in the traditional way and they are wonderful. The team is friendly and passionate about their cuisine. Will certainly be back.

This restaurant is a hidden gem that offers authentic regional food and drinks of 🇮🇹. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, making it the perfect place to unwind and catch up with friends.

Lovely atmosphere, best food in London. Arrosticini over the top.

Best Italian place around. This is very Abruzzese cuisine and it is amazing guys.

As a native Italian from Abruzzo, I can confidently vouch for the authenticity of this restaurant. The food and wine are exceptional, and the owner's warm demeanor adds to the overall charm. If you're seeking a genuine taste of Abruzzo cuisine, this establishment is well worth a visit.

Brilliant food atmosphere, and very kind staff- thank you Daniel and Elsa for a lovely night 😊

Phenomenal food, the best Italian in the area. Gorgeous romantic atmosphere and passionate friendly staff! Try the truffle gnocchi and blueberry cheesecake ❤️

Best Italian in London. And by some distance.

Popped in last night with a friend, very cosy and friendly place, although there are only 10 tables, 8 were taken, showing they must do something right. the waitress was extremely helpful, food outstanding. Highly recommended !

The best carbonara i have ever eaten michelin star standard a must to go to

Very recommended dishes are fried cheese,pizza scima,timballo and mezzo patcher alla carbonara

I recently dined at Maiella Worth, a restaurant in London that specializes in Abruzzese cuisine. I had the "Pallotte cacio e ove". The sauce was so good that it was perfect for 'fare la scarpetta.' The arrosticini were delicious. And to finish, we had a blueberry cheesecake that was simply amazing. Highly recommended!

Very positive experience. Very good and traditional food. Few things but done well, prices not high for the English average. The guy who serves the tables is very nice and helpful, it's a shame I wasn't able to try the gentian, because it was finished. I will definitely come back.

This place is definitely worth the hype, the food is super rustic and homemade, the la maiella pizza was one of the best I've ever had

Lovely neighbourhood Italian. Simple menu, excellent food, very friendly service.

Well done, simple and powerful! I'd encourage you to bring more local foods

Best Italian food in London! Make you feel at home, 10/10 friendly service.

The menu was interesting but i went for the special.. a bit expensive but tasted pretty fresh.

Cozy place, reasonable prices, delicious authentic food, a good selection of drinks and lovely staff.

Very lovely and tasty restaurant not far from Wandsworth road. Everything was delicious. We tried pappardelle Al ragù d’agnello and gnocchi with sausage and wild mushrooms and they were delicious. Service is very friendly and kind.

Amazing! We stopped here for dinner during our visit to London and the experience was unforgettable. There was no room inside the restaurant for us (reservations are recommended) so we sat on the small patio. The staff were fantastic - warm, pleasant and accommodating to every request. The meal was spectacular! We had the ravioli, peppardelle, mezzi paccheri and shared a small salad. I will be sure to come back when we return to London. I highly recommend that you visit. You will not be disappointed.

The truffle gnocchi was delicious, however the pizzas are nothing to write home about.

Authentic food and prepared staff. I recommend it!

Best italian in London!! Really authentic food from Abruzzo. The staff makes you feel at home. Arrosticini e Pallotte cacc e ove are the best.

This restaurant is amazing. We come here regularly. The service is impeccable and the food is outstanding.

Everything was far above my expectations, and those expectations were already sky high! Excellent restaurant!

Love this place. Amazing food and happy to accommodate me as a vegan. The veggie pinse was delicious. Friendly service, too. Will definitely be back!

Good food but strange music for a restaurant, club tunes. Loved their pasta dishes

Some of the best Italian food I’ve had in London! The carbonara and pappardelle are delicious! So so good.?

Great food and reasonably priced. A nice intimate restaurant with great service.

Beautiful place. You really feel at home! One of the best pastas I've ever eaten in my life! Great service. I recommend Gnocchi and Cheesecake.

Lovely little place, great cold pressed apple juice, however order taken incorrectly...we were the only people in, and the gnocchi not cooked. Terrible...never again

Cozy little Italian Incredible food

Just fantastic pasta. Perhaps the best pasta in London?

Lovely cozy Italian restaurant with welcoming staff. Only rating good 4 star as some bit a few dishes missing of the menu

Well done I really enjoyed our meal.. my girlfriend fall in love with this place. Will be back for sure

Food was disappointing considering we came because it was highly rated. Carbonara was not authentic (used pasta and far too saucy) portions were small. Overall disappointing

Really exceptional. Lovely place, laid back but attentive and knowledgeable service. Serves life-changing pasta dishes, absolutely superb food.

Top place, great food and a simple section of wines that pair wonderfully. Thank you

Best place to eat Italian dishes in London!

Had a delicious meal with my son. Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. Would highly recommend the carbonara

We’ve visited a few times. You can tell the owner is very passionate about Abruzzo cuisine and offers a relaxed atmosphere and a good playlist.

Cute locally run place! The Pallotte and the burrata were amazing

We went to Maeilla Worth with some friends (4 adults in total) very cute little restaurant. Lots to choose from the menu and also a good drinks menu. I ordered mussel pasta and it was nice, the starters were also decent. The service was slightly slow but cant complain as it was very busy for a Thurs. Would recommend to at least visit once.

We went for my friends birthday and the staff were so accommodating! They were able to arrange a table for 20 people super last minute. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable, they were able to take our order and bring the food out so fast and efficiently, all the food was delivered together! They even sang happy birthday and gave the birthday girl a free tiramisu. A fantastic time and would definitely return 😊

Amazing food, this is easily one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Staff is super friendly and service is good. Music choice is great and overall ambiance seems like a neighbourhood restaurant serving delicious food to locals. Pricing is decent and good value for money considering the high quality. Food is from the abbruzo region, and there are some standout local dishes and some variations of your favourite italian dishes. Every dish we had was great the worst was atleast a 7-8/10. Definitely don’t miss the lamb skewers the uovo with parmesan truffle appetiser and the gnocchi. Best gnocchi I’ve had in london

The food was one of the best Italian in London, and staff were really friendly and helpful. Also the menu is differentiated from other Italian places with some good regional additions

We had such a wonderful time from start to finish. The staff made sure to tend to all of our needs and offered great recommendations in this cozy venue. We had the arrosticini to start, which was cooked just outside followed by Pappardelle con Ragu' D'agnello and Gnocchi alla Boscaiola. Every dish was full of flavour and the portion sizes were very generous. It’s also a dog friendly restaurant!

Hands down my favourite resturant in London. The place has a great neighbourhood feel with the manager/host always chatting and greeting locals, the food is exceptional and it is very well priced. If I could only eat at one place this would be it!

This is such a hidden gem - lovely, intimate atmosphere and incredible food, with friendly service. Would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic meal here and the service was extraordinary! Gerry

Everything super good and super recommended. Everything super good and super recommended.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It was such a lovely evening. The place is so warm and cozy and the food is delicious, the gnocchi were on another level. A shout out to Luana for the great service and the kindness. First time here, definetely not the last.

Quickly becoming our new favourite restaurant! Every dish we’ve tried so far is delicious, always friendly service and a lovely atmosphere, so glad we found this place!

The food here is incredible, we had the lasagna which was amazing and the carbonara which was so delicious (only thing it was a bit cold) but apart from that everything was great! Will be back for sure!

Excellent food. The truffle gnocchi was delicious. Highly recommend.

Definitely will come back and recommend to anyone wanting delicious Italian cuisine. The restaurant is small and cosy, the person who took our order was excellent. We ordered burrata for starter, which tasted fresh and fragrant with the truffle. For mains we had the ragu papardelle and la piccante pinse (pizza). The Ragu papardelle was one of the best I've had in London...can't wait to order it again! Finished off with tiramisu and it was perfect!

Excellent original products sourced from small suppliers in Abruzzo. Delicious hand made pasta and great wine! A little Italian gem that we will visit again soon.

Cosy and quaint restaurant! The restaurant was empty when I walked in, but I felt a little unwelcome when I just said it was me eating. Apart from that, the service was fine - quick and attentive. I ordered the pappardelle. Whilst the pasta was nice and fresh - something didn’t sit right with me so I wasn’t in love with it. It has a strange twang to it. I still finished it and thought it was overall a nice dish, but just not the standard I was expecting after the reviews and given the price.

A gem of a place and very authentic original food. Limited menu which is ok because everything was perfect. Very accommodating and warm service. It felt like being in Italy.

The hand made gnocchi is amazing! Definitely will visit again to try others hand made pasta

Nice little restaurant/ cafe. Had a pizza margherita and chinotto. Lovely people and beautifully decorated interiors. Will have my lunch there again soon

Incredible food and lovely staff. We will be back again and again for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From start to finish, all perfect Wine, starter, main course, dessert.

Went here for my husband's birthday. Food was delicious, and the service was 11/10. Will definitely be back 💖 thank you Maiella Worth!

Very nice place and the food is amazing 🤩 really recommend 😋

Lovely restaurant with excellent food and nice and quick service! Had a lovely evening there, the food and wine were absolutely fantastic. The Carbonara were great and you can tell the pasta is home made. I’ll definitely be back! 😊

Just my favourite restaurant ever.

Very nice, authentic Italian restaurant. The pappardelle ragú d'agnelo was especially delicious. I'd highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

Fantastic Italian food in a setting like you are in a family restaurant in Italy. Good food, great wine and lovely lovely service. I recommend.

Tasty food, cozy restaurant and service was great too!we will come back to have arrositicini!

Excellent food with friendly service and good value. Great little Italian addition to the area and whilst off the beaten track, it's worth making the effort.

You know how you dream of finding a new place that is going to be special and you get in at the beginning? You know when you order something and think "yeah, I know how this will be" and then it is served and you think "wow, I did not see that coming"? You know how a nice meal can light up your whole day? This place is it. Go now so you can be all "yeah, I knew them when they were starting". This is it. One year on. Sometimes going back to somewhere which has been fabulous can lead to dissapointment. We went back, but I knew in my heart that everything was going to be OK. Don't worry, they have still got it. The same high standards, the same flavours caressing your tastebuds and the same beautiful use of texture. If I did not live 265 miles away I would systematically work my way through the menu.

Very aggressive staff member to the point that he wanted to fight and people had to intervene

I happened to be nearby and saw this restaurant with high ratings on Google Maps, so I made a reservation to try it out for dinner. The restaurant is not very big, but the decor feels very romantic and is especially suitable for couples. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance to avoid arriving and finding it fully booked. The weather was a bit cold, and the staff recommended that we try their grilled skewers, which were delicious and hot. The pasta was also excellent. When dining at an Italian restaurant, it's a must to order tiramisu as a dessert, and it tasted fantastic. Overall, the food was excellent, and the staff were enthusiastic and courteous. It was a very satisfying meal.

Amazing place, run by amazing people, cooking genuine amazing food from Abruzzo! The arrosticini are the "real deal" and everything else is always so fresh and tasty. I keep going there, bringing new people all the time so they can have a taste of the food that my region in Italy has to offer, at this little gem in London.

The best in the city, no question

Very nice experience Loved the food, I’m Italian and from Abruzzo. Thanks guys. My girlfriend was impressed too ! Would be nice to see some more typical desserts from the region, we have so many !

I have to align with all the positive reviews received. Small, cosy, and well-kept restaurant. As soon as you step in, you are feeling surrounded by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I am glad to see that there are young italian entrepreneurs who want to show another form of italian regional cuising different from the ones you could find everywhere. Great and friendly service. Fresh and homemade food.

As always, fantastic and authentic Italian food: two delicious panini's stuffed full of meat, cheese and salad, plus a couple of Aperol spritzes for happy hour!

This place is just amazing. I'm from Abruzzo so the owners. I literally felt at home! These people deserve to be super busy all the time. Ciao ragazzi. Antonio di Vasto.

Delicious food and very good spritz. I highly recommend!

Really wonderful food and great service.

Popped in whilst staying locally. Great welcome, great food, great atmosphere, great price!

We were here three times in 6 months and the quality has sadly gone down steeply after a great restaurant launch (maybe after the restaurant got its high rating?). Some parts of our order were forgotten, the mains arrived at different times, the waitress handed the drinks/dishes to the wrong guests and a few other misteps took away from the enjoyment. Also, the mains are tiny, which is odd given they are all somewhat unexpensive pasta dishes.

We always take any out of town guests here. It’s one of our favorite spots. The food is delicious and the workers are so friendly! Do NOT miss out on the charcoal bbqed sheep!!!

Tasty and delicious food. Feel like you are in Italy

Pappardelle was cooked to a perfect al dente, and the lamb ragu was good as well. The lasagna was pretty good as well, though the noodles were a little softer than I prefer. Flavors were good. Service was better than average, and the atmosphere is cozy family run. Worth a stop for Italian cuisine.

Excellent food and cosy atmosphere in this family run little restaurant. We had bruschetta and arrosticini, delicious skewers typical of Abruzzo region, in central Italy. Everything was perfect. Next time we’ll try the home-made pasta. Absolutely not to be missed!

Lovely little Italian cafe, had delicious pasta

Went here last night with my partner for dinner and this place is topping my Italian night out list now. All of the food was delicious, but the pasta was definitely the star of the show: so fresh (I watched them make it from our table!) and perfectly cooked, with beautiful sauces that aren't over-complicated. Vibe is lovely too, really laid back cozy cafe/bistro with friendly attentive staff. Truly a hidden gem!

Not sure why this restaurant is so highly rated we both got the meatballs and it was really really bad. The sauce tasted like tomato soup, the tiny overcooked meatballs had the consistency of canned meat balls, bland, grainy and with multiple bits of macerated bone, and the spaghetti wasn't al dente it was chewy and badly cooked. I would always send this quality back however unfortunately we had to leave quickly and I hadn't eaten all day so didn't have time for them to replace the food, and considering we both got terrible quality we had no faith they'd be able to replace it with better quality. The service also left something to be desired and they didn't seem to understand what a card receipt was.

Really good place. Great regional food enjoyed quite a bit my pasta with lamb ragù and my son loved his pasta too! Starters and desserts also yummy and overall an amazing experience!

The best Italian food. Best atmosphere, best service and really authentic abruzzo food!

Love it! Food,drinks just delicious!

Tiny place but amazing food. The "lasagne" was incredible.
