Piccola Ristorante Pizzeria Napoletana in Camden

Best Italian restaurant in London, besides being super nice, the food is wonderful along with the service, we will definitely be back. Thank you very much

I had an excellent dinner here. Surprised and delighted to walk in on a Friday evening with no booking and be seated straight away. The asparagus starter was first rate. My main was veal with linguine, again excellent. I spent £47 including a zucchini fritti side dish, a glass of Moretti and service charge. Highly recommended.

This is definitely the best Italian restaurant in London

Went here as couldn’t get into our preferred Italian in Hampstead. Very solid second choice! Pizzas not quite as good (the tuna one was amazing though) but a really nice atmosphere, great service and moretti on tap

I’ve been to many Italian restaurants in London and this one is without a doubt the best one. I’ve been multiple times, tried a variety of dishes and Piccola never disappoints. Highly recommend the carbonara!

Really delicious pasta and pizza. The whole family had a great time! The staff were super friendly and incredibly accommodating as I asked for a dish not on the menu for my anniversary and they made it. We will be going back for sure. The kids especially loved the chocolate treats they were given at the end.

Cute place, good food. Portions could be a tiny bit bigger but it was definitely a good time. The pasta is pretty good.

A great meal at the end of a long day, fab atmosphere and delicious food. Attentive staff and went home happy 😋

I went to eat pizza for dinner today. As a person from Italy I can say it was really good

Local eatery with friendly staff

I have been to “Piccola” several times and I can say that I have never been disappointed! Service, hospitality and food are truly excellent. If you are looking for a TRULY Italian restaurant I recommend it and you will ABSOLUTELY not be disappointed! It is located 2 minutes from Hampstead station, so easy to get to too. I will definitely go back again and bring new friends with me.

If you are looking for an AUTHENTIC Italian restaurant then this is the one for you! As an Italian living in London, I have visited several places that pretended to be Italian but in reality turned out to be anything but! Be wary of imitations and instead come to Piccola, managed by qualified, polite and friendly staff! Not to mention the quality of the food, always excellent, fresh and high quality! In short, all you have to do is go, you won't regret it! ❤️

Last night me and my family had dinner at Piccola, we try to go at least twice per month, as the food is delicious and the restaurant, make us feel like we are in Italy. My husband and kids had gnocchi sorrentina, which loved it ! We love the fresh tomato sauce that they do, we even buy to make it at home for kids sometimes, from La Deli da Cheffone! I personally had a seabass with a portion of spinach. Everything delicious as always 😊 !

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience at Piccola last night. We tried two different pasta dishes and shared them, both suffered severe stomachaches shortly after, which lasted through the night and into the morning. The discomfort was intense, as if we'd been punched in the stomach. Additionally, the service left much to be desired. The staff was not welcoming, and when we called to inform them of our experience, their response was quite rude and dismissive. It's disheartening when the response to customer concerns is handled poorly. I must advise others to consider these issues before deciding to dine here.

The pizza was good, would like to try the pasta next time.

The best Italian around. Wonderful waiters and delicious food. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Food was nice a bit expensive , very simple.

We didn't feel welcomed, and the food was pretty good but not £60 worth of good -- 2 pasta dishes and 2 teas, no sides (not even bread). Menu said "homemade" pasta mwas an extra charge so we didn't ask for it. Another reviewer's use of the term "tourist trap" seems spot on; it's exactly how we felt.

Best pasta I’ve ever tried, their spaghetti carbonara was amazing

Very average. Felt like a tourist trap. Nice calamari but very average pizza. Seems to have slid downhill from a year ago.

Overpriced for average food. Pasta was undercooked and pizza crust was too thin to our liking.

Possibly the best Italian I have had in London! Really good. Small restaurant in Hampstead, limited tables which are very close together. I went for a very late lunch at 15:30 on a Sunday afternoon which was a good idea as it was much quieter then. Staff were super friendly. Service was very efficient. Lovely cosy and homely! Felt like being back in Italy. Big selection on the menu from pizza to pasta, meat, fish, desserts and more. I went with the angel hair pasta with, olive oil, garlic, chilli, king prawns, cherry tomato and courgettes. Divine beyond words! Generous in portion size, tasty, well presented, freshly made and each mouthful was a delight. So good. I had a soft drink with it. I don't drink alcohol but they have an extensive wine menu too. I gladly polished off my lunch. Clean restaurant. Nice atmosphere and delicious lunch. Reasonably priced for the area. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and really friendly staff. I always enjoy going to Piccola and if you've never been, make sure you give it a try. You won't regret it!

Sorry to say,very disappointing lunch,after last time,when it was so good. Calves liver was bitter, my friends' Mediterranean salad was bland and boring, just no flavour.Soggy Apple Strudel, should be crisp pastry, will not be returning,for £65 certainly not worth the money.

Wonderful restaurant and excellent, friendly service. The food was delicious! We'll be back for sure.

London prices were to be expected - i had no idea the seafood pasta would be £22. The spaghetti arrabbiata i ordered was divine! The perfect amount of sauce (plenty), wonderfully spicy (not too much) and a good portion - enough to eat in one sitting AND have dessert! Thank you!

We ate pizza and drank a beer in a pleasant atmosphere. The service was very good. I recommend to those who wish. I will definitely come back.

Great place with the best pasta marinara I ever eat

The staff was adequate. Not rude but not very friendly either. I did not enjoy their recommendations. I ordered the sea bass and was extremely disappointed. I was expecting a filet but is was 2 small pieces from near the tail. It tasted like it wasn’t seasoned at all. I did not enjoy this at all. My wife ordered the bolognese and it was just ok and also very different from any bolognese sauce I’ve ever had. The kids ordered pizza from the adult menu and it was average. With so many other great options in the area I would not recommend this restaurant.

Sono stato qui ieri sera ho mangiato in modo divino cibo eccezionale prezzi modici servizio di sala efficiente. I titolari sono delle persone squisite. Da tornare!!! Grazie

Great food and excellent service! Had the pizza cheffone and it was delicious - best pizza bianca I’ve had!

This was SO disappointing! The food was basic at best and absolutely flavourless. My son didn’t even finish a quarter of his margarita pizza..will not be coming back

Amazing Italian food in center of Hampstead. Good quality and service guaranteed!

The veggie pizza tasted good. But the veggies made it a bit soggy which i did not like.

Foor is just delicious. Definitely will come back ❤️

Amazing food and very friendly staff

Lovely little restaurant. The service was really great and for a Saturday night it wasn't busy at all. Would recommend to anyone.

Family run establishment with good food

I always have the calf's liver in butter and sage sauce it's really nice. Best Italian in Hampstead 🔥

On entering I thought it felt a bit cold, but as we didn’t have long, decided to stay, thinking it would warm up, it didn’t! I asked about the heating and the manager told us it was broken, and there were no heaters to offer us. Plus they had no idea, if it was even going to be sorted out. It was so cold, and he was not telling people on arrival. I find this quite shocking, also because there were some elderly people in there , who experienced the same situation. Appalling!

Great pasta and lasagna. There are not many people, it’s a quite and small place. Waiters were not the kindest, they kept forgetting things. But enjoyed our time.

The food in this restaurant is simply delicious !! Everything from the garlic bread to the homemade chicken Milanese to the homemade pasta was truly so tasty. Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been too. Highly recommend I will bring everyone I know here.

We had a great meal last week in piccola, absolutely fabulous 5 stars completely. The service was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed the food! Thank you so much we will 100% be back again.

Had a fantastic meal with great service and great value. Highly recommend

Outstanding food as always Piccola!!! As a regular customer I am never disappointed with the excellent food, the staff are so attentive , service is fantastic & the manager will always check in at your table to make sure we are happy. Amazing selection of wines also. Such great value for a restaurant in Hampstead. Looking forward to my next visit. If you want authentic, exceptional Italian food book your table !

I'm not over impressed by the very bad reviews. The good ones seem so different. But my experience wasn't great..the place looks greasy and tired..the food was very basic.. felted embarrist to not pay .bill was 100 pounds...no drinks.only water...two starters.2 mains samons.very small amount of food ...shocked really..

Unfortunately the cheese in the burrata salad was off and the staff were not kind about this.

Great pizza. Shame about the staff. I ordered a phone collection pizza. Turned up to collect and the price has gone up. I said that the price was different online which he said is normal. I stated it isn’t and you cannot do different prices to what you charge. He became quite annoyed and refused to charge me the correct price. Then when I said I wouldn’t pay shouted at me outside the restaurant. I won’t come back. I won’t tell friends. I won’t suggest it - which is a shame as I work locally. I will be contacting the owner.

The food is average I would say, even the pizzas. The choice is actually quite limited with half of the pizzas being white pizzas. The main issue I have with the restaurant is that despite going when it was almost empty (only 2 other couples and a table of 4), we were sitted in between the two other couples, with 3 inches between each table, which prevents you from having a conversation without broadcasting it to your neighbors. Please reorganize the tables to give more space, I don't want to hear every word that the next table is saying.

The stuff was friendly, the restaurant was nice and cosy, but decor could be a bit more autentiske, food was ok

I’m sorry to say we where very disappointed…after trying the sandwich in their deli down the street (which is amazing(! We came with high expectations. The pasta was under cooked and the .sauce had a store bought taste to it The salad came with no seasoning We paid 73£ for two people and came out disappointed…. The staff was nice and quick Hopefully they will improve.

Amazing food and such lovely happy and welcoming staff. Family feels! Great portion sizes and every dish was exquisite! Looking forward to going back! The best Italian restaurant is Hampstead!

スパゲッティアラビアータ、グリーンサラダを注文。ロンドンにしてはリーズナブル。味は普通です。気軽に楽しめる感じ。

The Cotolleta is absolutely delicious. Very nice local restaurant- always come to have my fave dish. Great service, and they always make room for us which is appreciated. Prices are also reasonable. Highly recommended

Been a few times, never disappoints :)

A cosy place where it is buzzing, always people coming and going...there is a reason for this. The food is amazing. Real pizzas. This place is worth traveling extra miles to get to. Service was second to none.

Visit this restaurant many times and never disappoints

Busy busy busy on a Friday night but quick and friendly service, and delicious food. Always a local neighbourhood favourite.

Love this place, it's very "Americanized" Italian food I would say, but that's what I love. Great pizza and pasta.

Pequeno restaurante italiano muito simpático compramos saborosos. O atendimento foi muito atencioso.

Food was nice and came out extremely quickly. Took a while to even get a menu as the staff (think manager) was more interested in speaking to a customer he knew. Took a very long time to pay despite having our bill and having our card in view all while 3 staff members see to a table with their friend. In the end had to wave them over. There was an Italian waitress who was the saving grace, she was polite and friendly and was there to take our order as soon as she saw we were ready to.

Great food, good service, generous portions. I had a great time!

Jantar especial em família, agora já aumentou Nasceu Matteo, meu neto, tudo muito bom.

Food is okay, seems family-oriented rather than romantic atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious, authentic food, pretty surroundings and lovely staff.

The food is not very good at all to be honest. My pizza was not great and my friend's pasta undercooked.

Great place with Italian food! Lasagna is great 👏 Good choice options. Definitely recommend this place. Good job, guys 🍾

Not a particularly flashy place , family run but very good home cooked food . Certainly worth a visit .

Great food and authentic, tables and decor could be updated

My favourite margarita pizza in London so far!

Good food and excellent value for money.

Very good Italian food, lots of options, personal and friendly service.

Was really looking forwards to eating at this restaurant due to the great reviews. Small restaurants can sometimes have the best food however, the service was bad and the food was extremely bland with a very long wait. The prices are also very up there for what you get. Ordered a £10 salad and received a small plate of cut of plain vegetables worth no more than £2. Overall, disappointed and won’t be returning.

Great family run Italian with amazing food

Amazing place, with the best pizza ever!

You need to book as small restaurant. Food is good & menu broad.

Amazing ITALIAN food at the hear of Hapmstead.....Polite Manager, Owner is around to help, Service dedicate to make you feel good and to have lovely dinner. A Must to visit this Ristorante...

stumbled across this place and was not disappointed at all, the portion size and quality of the meal was amazing would totally suggest people come here.

Amazing as always. Best local Italian restaurant outside of Italy in my opinion! We love going here, it always has a buzzy atmosphere. Also, great wine list!

Friendly service and delicious food! You can tell they use quality ingredients. Looking forward to coming back

Anyone who has not tried the Moscato dessert wine: you are missing out! The freshness, the fruitiness and the bubbly texture are just to die for! The best calf liver, spaghetti meatballs and the roulette gnocchi we’ve ever had! Be sure you will have a great meal and wine!

Delicious food, friendly staff, love it. The minestrone soup is heavenly. The margherita pizza is delicious. Thank you.

Really delighted with this restaurant for a friends birthday. Great service and food. Reasonable prices. It would have been helpful if they had all their cocktails on the menu. A big five stars for this lovely Italian restaurant

Good taste good price what do you want more ?

My favourite local Italian, amazing service and food quality is 11/10. One of my top favourites do not hesitate to try their food. Dont listen to anyone saying its less than brilliant.

Good service, decent wine list, but that is where it stopped. Sorry but just can’t get why it is popular. There are so many better Italian restaurants. Food was bland and boring. Italian cuisine is about simple ingredients, seasonal, and flavours. Sadly, failed on all three aspects. And if you are offering oil, it should be a quality oil, not mainstream. Sorry, but I would expect honest Italian food. This was not it. If it wouldn’t be for friendly staff and good wine list, it would have gotten one star.

Good food but nothing exceptional. Coffee and liquors a bit expensive. Service was really good!

Great food and great team. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience!

The Pizzeria may be Piccola but everything else is huge. Ordered a calzone and it was so huge I was not able to finish my meal. The food was fresh and tasty. Very friendly staff. Lovely place. Great location - Hampstead Tube Station literally outside. Defo would recommend it.

my favourite local pizza place in Hampstead. Other Italian dishes (tagliata di manzo alla griglia, tagliatelle Bolognese) are sumptuous too. Cannot go wrong with Piccola. A must try if you are in the neighbourhood.

We ordered food from "Piccola" yesterday. It was honestly amazing. Especially the "Cotoletta", it was so good it was like being in Milano. We really liked everything else to. Good job, among the best italian food we had in London in a while!

Authentic Italian food of excellent quality

The pizza is delicious! The lunch deal is one of the best I have seen in the area. So cheap, quick and tasty!

Super! Delicious food and friendly staff! I love it and definitely come back! ❤️

A little over priced but friendly with really good food.

Friendly staff and excellent customer service. Best Italian food I’ve ever had!

Lovely service and food in a perfect location!

The food is delicious. I went with friends in a trip day to Hampstead. The mediterranean salad is fantastic. I recommend it for people how have a keto diet! And the pizzas are delicious and fresh! They staff is lovely and helpful. I truly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal.

Excellent meal, and value for money. The seafood linguine in particular was fantastic.

Good food but they should indicate whats vegetarian on the menu
