Portobello Ristorante in Kensington and Chelsea

The pizza was delicious, still hot when it came! The best Italian in London for sure!!!

Best Italian restaurant in London and Gas is THE BEST CHEF. Definitely go for a lovely dinner or lunch. Just awesome!

I think i have been possibly 750 times to this, my delightful local Italian. 15 years x once a week? Having the £18.50 set lunch menu here as I write. Has outside heated area and inside also. Tell the chef (you'll know which one he is haha) I sent you.

Fresh fish and oysters everyday. Service was very friendly and genuinely Italian. Antonio (Banderas) served our table - such a remarkable service. He was light, funny, and witty. Keep it up Antonio! See you soon

Ristorante Sul Porto Di ischia zona incantevole. Pesce buinissimo e sopratutto lá pasta aí fruto di mare. Tanti vini in cantina e buona accoglienza. Saluti da Nubia .😉

A gem. Good flavours, attention to detail. Had the mussels, rocket salad and pork medallions with mash - one of the best pork medallions I’ve hade - soft and tender with a great mash and sauce. And the tiramisu was to die for! Great selection of Italian wines. Will definitely go back.

The BEST pizza and pasta during our visit to London and exploring notting hill. Kids loved the food (and so did we-parents!)

A Hidden Gem of an Italian Restaurant in London We stumbled upon this Italian restaurant recently during a family break in London, and what a fantastic find it was! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. It felt like having a meal with old friends who genuinely wanted to ensure we had a great time. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, bringing smiles to all our faces—especially our very tired 10-year-old daughter. They even went the extra mile to set up a chair for her teddy bear, which absolutely made her day! The food was delicious, but it was the exceptional service and welcoming vibe that truly made this one of the nicest family meals we've ever had. We left with full hearts and bellies, grateful for the accidental discovery of such a lovely place. We’ll definitely be back next time we're in town!

I found this restaurant by "mistake" while I was walking in the Notting Hill area, with the curiosity to always try Italian food we decided to go in and we weren't wrong, we hadn't booked and we were lucky that we found a free place, we ordered a starter and two buffalo pizzas which were delicious, the staff very kind and professional, a nice atmosphere that I recommend from the heart. I would definitely go back

Painfully slow experience tonight. Staff seemed understaffed. Poor management and bad atmosphere. This place needs music or something else for a better atmosphere and all you can hear is loud voices. The food was ok, wouldn’t come back in a hurry.

Incredible service, the manager Joy is so friendly and kind. And the food is delizioso. Thank you so much - she also offered us two limoncellos

This is a restaurant I happened to stop by while visiting Port Bello Market. The service was very friendly and the food was really great. In particular, the friendliness of the staff was at a hotel level. I visited with a baby sleeping in a stroller, and they guided me to a comfortable place and even packed leftover food for me. Don't go to a crowded tourist restaurant, but come here when you visit Notting Hill. But the price is high.

I wanted to comment on the bad experience lived with the treatment of the boss named Joy to her employee while I was eating. Humiliation, he shouted to such an extent that the poor employee couldn't do it anymore and began to cry. Of course the last thing you prefer to see nowhere and less while eating. It was a real shame, all the tables looked at each other without giving credit for what happened

fantastic site Super friendly Unbeatable quality-price ratio

We went I and my sister in Notting Hill to visit , then accidentally saw the restaurant, we checked the reviews and we was happy with what we read and saw. The restaurant was actually full, just few tables free, we did asked for a table, the staff was very nice and friendly, smiling to everyone and helping in time. We served pizza and starter, it was a very good pizza that I ate after long time in London. The restaurant is clean and a very good atmosphere. I really recommend you if you want to try it.

Fish was amazing and the pizza totally delicious. Staff were lovely, very friendly, helpful and the service excellent. Would definitely come again when in Notting Hill next time.

Would request this pizza as my last meal if I was on death row. Best I’ve ever had.

Love their pizza and very have very good service. Nice restaurant!!

The waiters were pleasant. The pasta with clams was good but the tiramisu was delicious!

Very nice atmosphere in this good Italian restaurant, opposite the Notting Hill Gate metro station. Delicious food, very friendly welcome and very warm service.

Great service. Great variety of dishes. Nice and balanced crisp in the pizza. Very good, highly recommend.

We were passing by on our way to look for another restaurant when we noticed Portobello. It was very cute and cozy looking. The menu posted outside had great options so we decide to eat here. The service was fantastic and the food was even better. We all stated that it was the best dinner we had all of our trip to London. Highly recommended.

Loved this place! Best authentic Italian pizza I’ve ever had! Warm and inviting atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

This was a spontaneous evening decision, on a day where time got away from us and we suddenly needed to find dinner at 9pm. And what a spontaneous decision! We had two of the days specials, a homemade ravioli in aurora sauce and a dish with monkfish rolled in pancetta, and it was absolutely heavenly! I had to order some bread to sop up the remaining aurora sauce, it was so good that leaving any would have been a sin! The place is small, intimate, a little noisy, but ultimately cosy, and we had such great food that we were sad we only ate there on the last evening of our vacation. We would have loved to sample some more of their menu!

Nous avions réservé quand nous sommes arrivés il n'y avait en fait aucune réservation nous avons patienter 20 minutes avant de partir. Accueil très mauvais, bruit épouvantable

Excellent pizza, it felt like being in Italy, a little expensive but for the quality of the product it's worth it

Super fun and chill Italian food and the waitress was kind and interesting. The pizza are huge and for a city where everything is small and expensive, it was a nice but unexpected surprise The general atmosphere was pretty and nice and the food came quickly. We also got a free little veggie dish and it was much appreciated. Service was outstanding and sometimes that’s more important than food.

As a first impression, the restaurant looked very posh. But the reception was very kind. All staff were attentive and polite. We were served by a very fun and polite italian lady which has suggested me an amazing pizza flavour and a wine to my cousin. We felt very welcome and 100% satisfied with the service.

Local cómodo y trato muy amable, especialmente con los niños. siempre atentos que todo esté a tu gusto, La comida muy bien y precio acorde al la zona.

Very lovely place! We had an amazing pizza … but all the other dishes looked very good. We want to come back… It is nice to find an authentic Italian restaurant

The staf is very nice and profesional and the food is fabiolous.

The food, the service, everything was perfect! We ate the best pizza we had for a long time.

Nous sommes venus mes parents et moi-même dans ce merveilleux restaurant italien lors de notre séjour en Angleterre. Nous avons été servis par Luigi qui a été très agréable : accueillant, drôle, et professionnel. Ambiance très chaleureuse, plats délicieux (certainement l'une des meilleures pizzas que j'ai pu manger), service rapide.. Un sans faute de l'accueil jusqu'au départ. Nous y retournerons dès que nous reviendrons à Londres. 🇫🇷🇮🇹

Really great tasting Italian food and excellent service.

The pizza fell apart as it wasn’t cooked properly all around bad experience for£17

Waitress was wonderful, so were the food and drinks :)))))

The food was good, the service was Italian friendly. We were sitting in the front area, where the chair fur was completely wet, so I jumped up with wet pants. The water ran under the table, wet feet included.

Amazing food and very friendly staff! I would definitely eat here again given the chance.

Great food, Gina was very kind with us. The cook grade of the pasta and the meat was exact.

The food was amazing and the location was beautiful. Our server Gioia was fantastic and helped make it an experience. We will definitely be back!

It would have been a 3-star review if it were just for how we were received in the first 30 minutes. It was my boyfriend bday party. So we booked a table for 15 people, 12 adults and 3 children aged 2-3 years. We were in the outdoor room, and as soon as the children arrived, they started playing and running around, even in the indoor room. Dario, who was probably managing the indoor room, kept insistently asking us to keep the children still at our table! As if it were possible for toddlers to stay still and maybe even quiet in one place . However, understanding the situation, I personally went to try to apologize and clarify the situation, but he very arrogantly replied that it was not his problem how to keep them still, and in his opinion, the people inside would have left otherwise, and that it was the parents' job to do their work. How impertinent! I am Italian and I have been here for 10 years, but honestly, nowhere else have I felt so badly treated. He intruded into the personal sphere of his customers, which shows how little seriousness and competence the waiter has. I have been to Locanda Locatelli with my son, and he was taken to the kitchen to meet the chefs because he was so friendly and smiling. Beyond that, which is the negative part and made me feel uneasy for the first half hour, everything changed thanks to the special and unique service of Alfonso! The atmosphere truly lightened up, and he is a waiter who is really attentive and caring to all the customers needs. I was truly impressed by his service’! Additionally, the food was absolutely top-notch! The appetizers and pizza were IMPECCABLE! Great quality for the price! We will definitely be back, making sure to find Alfonso again with his friendliness and professionalism 🤭 Thanks again ❤️

Amazing food ...lovely staff but surprise to see a dog with a water bottle and blanket on the same sofa next to us .......not sure about hygiene...will not go back

Portobello has a cozy atmosphere and good service. The wine recommendations were great. I had the spaghetti which was good, and my friend had a pizza, which was alright but a bit too soggy. Good place for a quaint Italian dinner.

Very good pizza made with authentic ingredients. Excellent service. I didnt like the appetizer so waiter excluded it from my bill.

Very good and traditional southern Italy restaurant.

Pizza was slightly cold, and the mozzarella was all condensed on one side of the pizza making the pizza a little bit soggy. However the dough quality was overall good. 😊

Friendly service. Smiling. Clean and good value for money for London. To advice

Excellent address, we were very well received by the entire Portobello team, a little extra for the servers who were extremely friendly with our 3 and a half year old little boy. Thank you for this great experience! The cuisine is excellent, congratulations to the whole team!

Perfect. Love the pizza and the atmosphere. It can be really busy so try book ahead, but the food is amazing. Need to order pizza by the meter! It's a fun experience!

My husband and I visited the restaurant for lunch,,ordered calamari fritters which were inedible at all they were very hard(undercooked) and we order fresh sardines which were very salty,,,as if they had been taken out of the salt (like pasted sardines not fresh) The Black Truffle Pizza was relatively good the pizza dough a bit burnt on the edges the prosiutto on the piste was quite stale The bottle of white wine was not brought to us chilled as it should have been and the prices quite high for the quality of the food they serve Espresso very good I wouldn't prefer it again and I don't recommend it to everyone 😏

We ate very well, I recommend it, very kind waiters

MY FAVOURITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN LONDON! I have been a regular of this restaurant for 11 years and it never failed to impress me: I took countless friends, clients, relatives, dates and celebrated many anniversaries to the point that I can say It feels like a second home to me What’s so amazing is that they won’t cut corners: the ingredients are all top quality and imported directly from Italy, the staff is friendly, attentive and genuinely care about the client having an amazing experience , the atmosphere is super pleasant and relaxed and … the pizza is unbeatable: I promise you, you won’t find a better one anywhere else! Plus they have a wonderful wine selection and the pasta and fish are to die for… aubergine parmigiana and the paccheri with veal ragout are second to none And … don’t forget to leave some room for their tiramisu and signature torta caprese 😋😋 Trust me, if you are looking for a corner of Italy in London you’ve found the right place And chances are you’ll become addicted to it just like I have 😉

Service and pizza were terrible

Very good dishes, and fast service. Good address in London,

I have been coming to this local gem for many years and it is hands down one of the best restaurants in Notting Hill. The food, the atmosphere and the friendly and professional service are all excellent, and Andrea keeps a professional and tight ship sailing along. Recommended.

Better Pizza than I had in Italy! Service is great, the atmosphere was incredible. The next time I’m in London I’m definitely coming here again!!! 20 out of 10 points

I wanted to share my recent experience at Portobello Pizzeria because it was truly exceptional. From start to finish, everything about our visit was fantastic.First and foremost, I was incredibly impressed by the level of kindness and understanding shown towards my little nephew, who has autism. The staff went out of their way to ensure he felt comfortable and included throughout our meal. Their genuine care and patience made a huge difference and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! Each dish we tried was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. From the mouthwatering pizzas to the delectable pastas, every bite was a delight. It's clear that the chefs at Portobello Pizzeria take pride in their craft and use only the finest ingredients.Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Portobello Pizzeria exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to visit again soon. If you're looking for a restaurant with exceptional food and outstanding service, look no further than Portobello Pizzeria. Thanks!

Friendly service, but most importantly, amazingly fine Italian food. Thank you for the experience!

A very quiet option for eating at the entrance to Portobello Road, London prices, but the food is really good and plentiful and the attention from the staff is excellent. We ate several types of pasta, pizza and some starters to share and it was all delicious

We were regular customers in this restaurant, but returning after some time we found a completely changed environment , the food is always good but what made it special was the welcome of the manager who made us feel important, unfortunately this has now changed. we will return to try again but we already know that it will not be the same! however the pizza was better before.

Amazing food and friendly staff! Highly recommend!🍕

Sat 2/3/24 Visited with wife and 2 friends. Their meals were ok. Mine was dreadful. Bruschetta followed by rock hard grilled sardines. The service was abominable. Sooo slow. We spent over 3 hours there! Waiter hardly spoke English and consequently I didn’t get what I ordered. Both courses smothered in what I can only describe as grass! Been to Portobello quite a few times. Never again.

No, I ate that seafood pasta linguine, but the noodles came out so hard that my teeth couldn't fit, so I asked them to cook it again. But this time, the noodles were too salty. The sauce was salty, but the salt came out every time I chewed the noodles. The more I chewed, the saltier it became. Even the mussels and clams. It's included, but one out of three has stones in it. The squid and shrimp in the pasta were delicious, but the price was too expensive, so I won't go again... It doesn't seem like a restaurant suitable for Koreans. The staff was really friendly.

The best seafood linguini in London!!! Tasted exactly like we were in Italy again. The seafood tasted so fresh and there were so many mussels in the dish, it was 100% worth the money. The sauce was incredible and the pasta was perfectly al dente. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere was nice. The vanilla ice cream with espresso was DELICIOUS and the lemon sorbet was so smooth and yummy. We came here to celebrate Valentine’s Day, my birthday and our 4 year anniversary (all on the same day!) We will be back again very very soon!

Great experience at this pizzeria. We opted for 1 starter, 2 pasta dishes and 1 dessert. Difficult choice between pasta or pizza, because everything looked spectacular. The workers/owners are Italian and in particular a very friendly woman speaks Spanish perfectly. To repeat, without a doubt.

Wow. Amazing food. I enjoyed every bite. Thank you. I hope the restaurant will keep up the good work for many years to come.

It's delicious, friendly, and they don't force you to tip. The wines range in price from £30! Of course, it was so delicious that I left a tip haha. It's been a while since I had delicious food cooked by Italians in London.

Very kind welcome and staff Pizza and tiramisu 👌🏻 I recommend

App and meal were both tasty. Quaint and quiet.

We just stumbled upon this for a late lunch. Yummy pizzas and calamari. Try the lemon spritzer if they have it. Saved this place in my favorites.

Perfect lunch for my christmas.

Good pizza, great service, quick and homely.

every time we come to this restaurant, they welcome us very well and I want to say that an Albanian boy waits for us in the best way, well done many thanks

The risotto was amazing. Also, the waiter with the shaved head who was working hard to deliver dishes. I love you too! :)

Very good Italian lunch, fresh oysters, delicious pizza and mains. Loved it and will definitely come back.

Locale affollato e festoso, sala interrata con una ventina di amici. Il servizio è gentile e veloce, parlano tutti italiano. Pizza al metro in stile napoletano. Margherita buona e Romana ottima. Bravi

Really good place, good pizza, good pasta, i could not take photos because i ate fast,

We got takeaway pizzas. Fast and good service and the pizzas are good. The staff was polite. Would go there again.

The best Italian restaurant I have ever been. I enjoy every single meal as well as the service.

Vale la pena este lugar!!!! Deliciosa comida Italiana

Spaghetti with clams must have clams not empty shells I had twenty shells and four clams not very good will think twice about revisiting this restaurant

Bonito restaurante con terraza de invierno, personal muy agradable y la comida muy rica. Los platos tienen buen tamaño y los precios normales. Volvería para probar más platos

Bonne cuisine italienne (et on est plutôt tatillon en Belgique) avec une petite English touch (très épicé). Les prix sont très honnêtes pour un quartier très populaire comme Notting Hill et le personnel est vraiment sympathique (on était avec de jeunes enfants !). Les pizzas sont consistantes. À recommander

Fantastic food, genuinely Italian. Every course was delicious, from pizza to tuna carpaccio. Definitely recommended.

Ottima scelta! Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo mangiato una pizza buonissima in questo locale, io consiglio quella melanzane e burrata semplicemente super!!!! Comunque tutte buonissime e sapientemente preparate staff gentilissimo ed ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Torneremo a trovarvi!!!!

Great food, very welcoming and polite staff, price fair, what else can one ask for? Super cuisine, personnel accueillant et poli, prix justes, que demander de plus?

Prima Italiaanse gerechten voor een normale prijs.Fijne bediening.Echt een aanrader.

Troppo caro ma non per tutti i palati perché siamo a Londra Al besuwuote

Lugar incrível e comida excelente

Great venue serving top quality pizzas and pastas. Very friendly service too. Convenient location. Great find. Well done to the team.

Мне понравилась и еда и атмосфера, и сервис. Вечером в пятницу было немного людей , я не заказывала столик и меня сразу посадили за стол одиночный, предложив 3 варианта на выбор. Заказ сразу взяли , дала пиццу минут 10-15. Официанты итальянцы, взрослые, ненавязчивые, приятные. Место чистое, спокойное с приятной музыкой.

Si tratta di un vero ristorante italiano. L'accoglienza e il servizio sono stati ottimi. La pizza è sottile, cotta col forno a legna. Forse c'era un po' troppo olio. È arrivata già tagliata. Purtroppo non c'è birra alla spina. Onestissimo anche il conto.

Íbamos a cenar en un italiano de Kensington, pero resulta que estaba cerrado. Así que caminamos hasta Notting Hill y ahí nos topamos con el Portobello donde hemos comido una deliciosa pizza, un buen Saltinbocca y un plato de pasta siciliano riquísima. Muy recomendable

My new favourite Italian and I’m not local but plan on coming back regularly. My friend has known this for years and brought me here earlier this week. We came back again later in the week having pre-ordered the liver (Fegato) It did not disappoint. Food was excellent, absolutely delicious and the service top notch! There were Birthday groups on both evenings we were there so it’s obviously a favourite for many others. Highly highly recommended!

Ottimi piatti davvero italiani, non come altri ristoranti di Londra che si spacciano per italiani ma non lo sono. Il personale pure e’ italiano e sono tutti davvero cordiali e simpatici. Abbiamo cenato qui per due sere di fila, la pizza è davvero buona e pure la pasta. Prezzi in linea con lo standard di Londra.

Siamo stati a Londra io e mio marito, visitando Portobello ci siamo fermati x il pranzo da Honest Burgers e abbiamo mangiato benissimo, carne ottima e idem tutto il resto, locale molto pulito e soprattutto personale gentilissimo...Da consigliare...Paola..

We arrived for early dinner before our theater show and the staff took care of us. We had the sautéed spinach, mixed vegetables, bruschetta with burrata for appetizers. For dinner we had the salmon which was a very generous size and cooked perfectly, the pasta with beef ragu, and the rigatoni. Everything was delicious, service was spot on and attentive. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time for the desserts but would love to return for another lovely meal! Thank you for taking care of our family!

Great place, amazing food!!! ✨✨✨

Ristorante italiano autentico a due passi da Portobello Road a Notting Hill, una delle zone più belle di Londra. La qualità del cibo è ottima, le pizze sono molto buone, e l’atmosfera è accogliente e familiare grazie al personale professionale ma anche gentile e disponibile.

Wir haben einen fantastischen Abend mit italienischen Köstlichkeiten im Portobello verbracht. Toller familiär geführter Betrieb mit motiviertem Team. Da macht das Essen gehen Spaß. Vielen Dank 😊!
