Maiella Worth in Lambeth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

Authentic food and prepared staff. I recommend it!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Really wonderful food and great service.

Delicious food and very good spritz. I highly recommend!

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!

Love it! Food,drinks just delicious!

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

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

The gnocchi may just bring tears to your eyes.

Visiting from New York, hardly a culinary backwater, I was taken away by the food here. This place will undoubtedly get recognition that time has a tendency to bestow upon great things (it’s relatively new having opened roughly a year ago). We had the calamari, burrata tartufata, and bruschetta, there vernacular of Italian food, but each dish was differentiated in form and substance from those that have preceded it. The carbonara was so, so splendid, that for the first time in my life, I demanded the young, talented chef do an encore and rustle up the exact same dish again. Homemade Al dente pasta within traditional dishes - I’ll be somewhat sad when this warm establishment inevitably gets busier, but it will not diminish the pride I would feel for the place.

Have been wanting to come to Maiella for a while to try their traditional Abruzzo food. The restaurant is small and with a very cozy/cool vibe. We enjoyed the pasta we ordered: pappardelle ragú d'agnelo and the chitarrina alla teramana. We ordered polpo but was very very hard. The man who served us was nice and attentive.

Delicious! Delicious! I order freshly made gnocchi with wild mushroom and sausage, truffles oil. Melted in my mouth, soooo good. The best Italian I have ever had.

Very authentic Abruzzese cuicine, best Italian restaurant in London. It is worthy to try the Arrosticini with red abruzzese wine. Owner and staff super friendly. Super suggested

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.

A cosy vibrant restaurant specialising in dishes from a specific area in Italy. I had a brushetta starter, which was fine. For my main course, there appeared to be only one very tiny 'thumb sized' scampi in my £18.95 scampi and pasta dish!

È un posto molto bello e accogliente, si mangia molto bene e il servizio e eccellente. Vi consiglio di venire se volete i veri piatti abruzzesi.

It took me a while to review that place because all the times,the food was gone before photos taken😆 **** FRESH PASTA HOMEMADE**** All food is imported from Guardiagrele (town located at the foothills of Maiella,central Italy)and i cannot describe the testing!!! Absolute delicious! Thank you guys to bring a piece of our house here in UK. 5 star well deserved 😉

Great homemade food. Great atmosphere. Great music being played in the background. I would highly recommend

Guys were super nice! Good coffee also

The service and food is beautiful. I can not ask for more. We’ll. be Back soon guys!!

The pasta is truly outstanding and always a lovely evening out. Been here twice and will come back again!

Best Abruzzo restaurant in London. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. The fish is super fresh and the menu offers a wide range of options. I personally love the Abruzzo cuisine style, one of the most flavoursome in the world. I highly recommend this place.

Great to see the fresh produce arriving from Italy 🇮🇹 😀 🙌

The best, no-frills Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy

Absolutely delicious handmade pasta!!! Everything is beautiful here - the decor, the food! Will definitely come back again.

First time in this cozy restaurant that left the best impressions. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. I was really pleased with the service; the food was amazing with excellent quality ingridients, 100% authentic Abruzzo recipes. Highly reccomend!

Great food, especially the pasta which is perfectly cooked "al dente" with flavours from the Abruzzo region. Cozy and quiet place in spite of being on the main road, staff are also friendly and attentive.

A delicious meal at Maiella Worth this evening....Friday 24 March 2023. Friendly and attentive service....the most beautifully prepared Italian food....prepared with love and pride. We will return. Highly recommended. Exceptional.

Amazing little independent Italian, I’ve walked past so many times and so glad I popped in this evening - incredible food, every dish tasted fresh and authentic (really recommend the regional egg & cheese balls in tomato sauce to start). Staff incredibly friendly and accommodating & very good value, came to £40 a head for 3 course and a bottle of wine - I’ll be back!

Great staff, great food. Arrosticini is fantastic, if you have a chance to try it, I would absolutely recommend it

Great atmosphere, service, and food! We will be coming back. Thank you :)

We went for dinner here recently and have had a few good morning coffees from here too. The food is fresh and so flavoursome! Staff are welcoming, friendly and it is clear they really care about their food, happiness of their customers and great quality service. Tutto perfetto! We will be back very soon!

Delicious pasta and great host, ordered the gnocchi and pappardelle d’agnello, and they were pure bliss 🤌🏻 server was also attentive and kind. Coming back for sure
