San Pietro ristorante italiano in Kensington and Chelsea

Consigliati da amici, siamo andati a cena in questo ristorante a Kensigton. Bel locale, il personale parla italiano abbiamo preso un crudo di mare e pasta e vongole, sembrava che fossimo sulla spiaggia, tutto fresco ed ottimo e ben presentato. Ci ritorneremo.

Went due to recomandation so sat upstairs which looked cozy althought there was a very load party, we did not mind however very poor service as the staff did not know what to do ,,as if it was thier frist night cutlery put the wrong way we waited and waited to order the calfs liver was uneatable we could not even try so both were turned away , however my fish was ok for the price paid and confusion its not a place we would return to.

Nous avons mangé ici un samedi soir, la serveuse a su nous trouver une place très gentiment alors que nous sommes arrivée un peu tard… la pizza demi calzone était excellente à même titre que le tartare de thon qui était franchement délicieux. ambiance conviviale et le personnel est très sympa ! Je recommande vivement.

Pranzo Fantastico sembra di essere in Italia. E’ iniziato con 2 pizzette montanare accompagnate con la famosa ndjua di Spilinga riscaldata nel suo tegamino di ceramica, successivamente sono arrivate le linguine con vongole veraci e gamberi ed infine un magnifica orata da più di 1 kg cotta al sale nel forno. Che dire tutto buonissimo.

Great neighborhood feel and excellent food--highly recommend the parmigianno appetizer and the meatballs!! Amazing friendly staff!!!

Good ambience and location but the pizza I had was a little below expectation I thought. My brother had a sea bass dish which was quite good. A repeat visit is not high on the list, however.

San Pietro is the place to eat delicious, authentic Italian food in Kensington. They use quality Italian ingredients and this, plus the culinary wizardry of chef Carlo, creates magic on the plate. We love their fish, the grilled chicken and the pizzas! The prosecco is one of the best I've ever had! I also absolutely love their fresh bread, which Carlo bakes with pride every morning (thank you so much, Carlo!!)! The interior of the restaurant is cozy and relaxing and the service impeccable. We go to San Pietro for the food and also for the relaxed family-like atmosphere! A little piece of Italy (food and soul) in the heart of London!

Consigliato da un amico si è rilevato oltre le aspettative. Ottima la location ed il servizio ma sono le pietanze il punto forte.

Det var utrolig lækkert! Vi bestilte alle 4 pizza og det var dem bedste pizza jeg nogensinde har fået! Kanterne var så lækre, fyldet var lækkert og bundene var en blanding af sprøde og bløde - perfekt . Til dessert fik vi tiramisu og uden at overdrive var det igen den bedste jeg har smagt. Så lækker! Det var store positioner og vi blev rigtig mætte. Priserne var fair, vi var 4 personer og med dessert, drikkelse og hovedret blev det ca 1000 kr. Medarbejderne var rigtig søde og det hele gik rigtig hurtigt. Vi ventede i højst 15 minutter også selvom de havde travlt. Så hyggeligt sted kan helt klart anbefales!

Staying at the Holiday Inn Kensington this place was a very short walk away. Fantastic pizza Italian style. Friendly staff and super red wine.

Un excellent italien avec un super accueil. Pizzas parfaites, frites de courgettes excellentes!! Et pâtes copieuses.

We were really looking forward to trying this Italian restaurant as the reviews were good. We got seats upstairs, but it seemed like the staff kinda forgot we were there. Then, our excitement turned into disappointment when we found some sand in our fish dishes. The scallops weren’t properly cleaned, and the shrimp weren’t either. We informed the waiter because it wasn’t nice to eat, and lost our appetite. We let the waiter know about the sand, but they didn't do much about it. She just took it and we didn’t hear from her again. When it was time to pay, it got even more frustrating. The staff acted like everything was normal and said the chef had checked the dish and didn’t find any sand. No apology or acknowledgment of our disappointment. We had to pay the full amount, and it left us with a pretty unhappy feeling about the whole dining experience. Rude staff and not a great but expensive experience.

Just dreadful. No redeeming features. Even if the food had been good (rather than bland and clearly bulk prepared) it would have been overpriced. And all served with a subtext from the staff as if what you are going to get is remarkable - well it is, remarkably disappointing. Indifferent at best. And, for some reason that only the proprietors can explain, all illuminated such that sunglasses are needed if you don't want to damage your eyes permanently. Maybe that is the explanation - the food is rubbish and the prices extortionate so that they can pay what must be a staggering electricity bill.

Ein Freund hat mich vor Kurzem in das San Pietro eingeladen. Ich bin begeistert! Es ist ein kleines Restaurant, nett eingerichtet. Der Service ist an Charme und Freundlichkeit nicht zu überbieten, und das Essen ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Ich freue mich auf meinen nächsten Besuch!

We came across San Pietro by chance. And what a find. A little part of Italy in central London. Friendly,accommodating staff. Amazing service , lovely atmosphere , charming interior. And the best pasta I have ever eaten. The food was out of this world.

An easy walk from High Street in a charming neighborhood. Our dinning experience was outstanding. We elected bar seating. We enjoyed watching the chefs prepare the meals. We selected the house white wine which was very pleasing and accompanied the grilled hale over yellow potatoes and the clam linguini. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. Don’t pass up the sourdough bread. If we didn’t live5000 miles away we’d make this our “go to” favorite restaurant.

Delicious Italian cuisine! Very friendly staff. This restaurant was recommended by the concierge at our hotel. Was a short walk from Park City Grand Hotel. A wonderful experience!

We had a great night, great atmosphere and food, reasonably priced, the staff were very attentive, and the signora in charge us lovely.

Hi John x I was the table just next to you and the bad experience was only your rudeness and the problems you had in your family. Said so I had and amazing and lovely dinner and the food was just remarkable ! If I may advice John x : if you don’t like Italian food and you’ve special requests do stay at yours place the only shame thing tonight was you ……… solo man

Terrible Sunday night experience! After 30+ minutes nothing on table. Then told starter no longer available. Served incredibly hot red wine. Everything requested, based on prior experience, was impossible. At 40 minute mark when expressed interest in knowing when food would come incredibly overstretched and extremely snotty waiter informed us there were other people in the restaurant…. Very unhappy when told wine was way too hot, even though red. He was so rude and aggressive we left, and he kept up snotty remarks. A real shame, because it is a different place when the owner is

Hidden in the quieter part of Kensington. One of the best tasting pizzas I had in a long time. Run by an Italian team. Great atmosphere!

I passed this place many times and admired the lighting and romantic qualities of it. Finally went in and the food was good too! Enjoyed the experience!

Whilst this cute, Italian bistro, off the beaten track, looks inviting, cosy & potentially a 'great find' this was not my experience. I visited as a solo customer, and whilst there were available tables, I was seated up against the bar area; which clearly is better suited for drinks or very small snacks. There wasn't any hooks to hang my coat & bag, and staff did not offer to store my belongings elsewhere. Sadly the staff seemed overall, disengaged, not particularly friendly, or at all attentive. It was possibly, a 'bad day at the office' kinda vibe, & on a quiet January evening, may be they didn't see the need to be. The menu read well, but the food arrived was somewhat disappointing, lacking seasoning, any depth of flavour and not very authentic. Pasta was not homemade, the Ragu was thin and without any depth of intensity which is found in many, authentic Italian restaurants. If I was in the area again, I would consider somewhere different, & really hope this was an exception.

Situated in a residential area of Kensington San Pietro beckons you in with loads of Italian colour but sadly that is the only good aspect of this restaurant. The staff were not interested in giving any service and the cuisine was anything but Italian. I had Paccheri Al Ragu Di Vitello and when I saw it I was alarmed to see it swimming in cream. We also ordered Parmigiana Di Melanzane which had been cooked to a frazzle and the Pasta con cozze was way too salty. I do recall that this used to be a good Italian Restaurant. Whats happened San Pietro?

simple but tasty italian food in a pleasant environment. helpful staff. good location. pizzas or pasta based, good for families

On 14 November 22 I booked a table for 4 people on Christmas Eve at the San Pietro, having heard good things about it. I received an email confirmation for this booking. I had friends visiting from out of town, we were going to Christmas at the Albert Hall and wanted an early supper after the performance. On the 18th December I was shocked to receive an email, directly from St Pietro saying my booking had been cancelled. No explanation just 'we cannot accommodate your booking and have had to cancel'. I called them up to ask why and all I was told was 'there is no booking' ' we are not open'. The person on the phone was very abrupt, and made no attempt to apologise or explain. I understand that restaurants may need to change plans, but waiting over a month after having booked to cancel and doing it in the way they did is a little shoddy in my opinion. It was then a little late in the day to find a table somewhere suitable in the area, which resulted in a ruined evening. No somewhere I will be trying to visit again!

Tucked away in the Kensington neighborhood, San Pietro is a delightful surprise in an unassuming setting. Staying at a nearby hotel on a frigid evening, I sought out an Italian restaurant nearby, and discovered San Pietro on Trip Advisor. A single diner, I was immediately greeted by two members of the waitstaff and offered a seat at the bar. Actually, the “bar” is a row of about half a dozen high stools with a full view of the food prep area, which ran most of the its length. I enjoyed watching the cooks preparing stunning meals with unusual precision and speed. I ordered penne arrabbiata and an arugula salad with grape tomatoes and parmigiano, as well as a glass of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. My setup soon arrived, including homemade bread and complimentary pickled carrots. The pasta was cooked to perfection, al dente, and the sauce, perfectly arrabbiata. The bread, salad and carrots complemented the pasta perfectly. This meal was as authentically Italian as any I’ve had in Italy. I’m looking forward to sharing this dining experience with family and friends when I return to London.

A Cosy restaurant with delicious Black Risotto. The service is best in London. The vibe is amazing. Extremely friendly, cheerful staff. Fried Calamari and black Risotto is a must! Highly recommended.

Lovely, homely Italian in a quiet corner of Kensington. Food, service and atmosphere were all good. Pizzas especially were really good. Would definitely return when next in the area.

A small, unpretentious place that serves superb Italian. We had the burrata, linguine and pappardele. All were great. The service was efficient and very attentive. All in all, a most pleasant lunch. We will go back.

I was interested to see some feedback on the welcome by the staff. I couldn't disagree more. I felt we were made to be very welcome indeed. The manager was very keen to welcome us to his restaurant. He introduced his wife and the team...

We were lucky enough to have an outside table on a very warm evening in July. The food was excellent with generous fish portions. Service lovely! We will be back soon.

The place is always busy and tables are close to each other but the food is delicious and the team really good. I always enjoy going here.

The restaurant was crowded, on a Monday evening, and very very noisy. Service was good, even though they were very busy, we didn't have to wait too long for the food. 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 glass of house wine each, 1 coffee each -...

The restaurant is quite small with limited uncomfortable seating on the ground floor. The Italian waiter / manager serving us was very unwelcoming, unfriendly, and largely uninterested during our visit. We found him quite rude with his communication but seemed more friendly with some fellow...

We found the staff largely disinterested in us. We find local Italian restaurants generally welcoming , this was very much lacking in warmth. We had fish, the sea bass was pretty oily. The rest of the food was fine. It came to around £90 per...

Let me get this out of the way - the food is fantastic. Mind you, that is "fantastic" in the same way that the food in your neighborhood trattoria in Italy is fantastic - not Perfect, but certainly waaaay better than you can make, or...

We stumbled across this little gem whilst in London for the weekend, we googled restaurants close to our hotel and were impressed by other reviews. We didn’t have a reservation but we’re welcome I. To a very busy restaurant and sat at the bar to...

We had a celebratory dinner with my husband at San Pietro which had been recommended by friends and neighbours in the area. We had the zucchini fritti and the polpe di vitello (meatballs) for starters. The meatballs were absolutely delicious. For mains my husband had...

Went on a date with my boyfriend trying to have a nice evening to celebrate his new job. Manager and staff downstairs were very friendly to us, however we were transferred to a bearded waiter, wearing a plad red shirt and hair slick back, he...

We were staying in Kensington for a few days and our hotel manager recommended San Pietro for Italian food which was a five minute walk from our hotel. The restaurant has a nice feel and is run by passionate Italian staff, we both ordered pizza...

When we first arrived did think this will be good Italian food as so many of them eating at this restaurant, but sorry to say that was not the out come, very average food, just not the best for the look of the restaurant, have...

Pros: + Great service, waiters very friendly and attentive + Mussels very good Cons: + Very expensive for a fairly normal dining experience, bill came to £100 without dessert or alcohol + Seabass very disappointing, too greasy, and not seasoned/no sauce so when combined with...

We had an amazing meal with friends and were very well looked after. The food was a delight with the real stand-out items being the pizza and the charcoal baked sea bass (on special). Just a fabulous experience. We'll definitely be back.

We have walked past this place so many times and decided to try it.We absolutely loved it.What a great local Italian,staff are super friendly and attentive & the food is delicious.Great seafood and wine.Highly recommend.Dog friendly too on the terrace.

Authentic Italian restaurant with a wide selection of fresh fish and seafood,excellent pizza!!! Nice and cozy room at first floor!!

Awful, very rude manager/ owner. Dont go here, loads of good restaurants in London. Fish on display looks old and not fresh. Dump!

First class food; what makes it extra special is not only did I have the fresh whitebait and Sea Urchins followed by some incredible Al Dente pasta steeped with the flavour of the sea urchin and just enough spice. So much flavour and a wonderful...

This is one of the most authentic Italian restaurant in London with traditional dishes. Fantastic fresh fish and specials of the day. Highly recommend.

We found this on the internet and have to say this is one of the best restaurants we have visited. The atmosphere, the staff and choice of menu is just top notch. We almost left as they had ran out of Proseco and we don’t...

I am coming often here as the antipasti, pasta (al dente) e seafood are aligned with the best restaurants in Italy. You can now eat outside and the service is very friendly and efficient. The location is also very mice, in a quiet area with...

San Pietro has turned into my go-to "local" although it is not even local for me. I lived in Italy and the food here is authentic and delicious. e.g. the pasta vongole and also frutti di mare are perfection. Wonderful and welcoming staff, the owner,...

No social distancing here so we left. There was a bunch of people about 16, drinking in a party atmosphere outside, like at a pub in previous days. They are clearly in 4 separate groups but standing and moving around close to others, a waiter...

We have today Fritto misto and it was delicious! The smell was like we are on Mediterraneo! With some mozzarella and tomato - delicatessen!

The gem of a neighbourhood San Pietro has always been too busy to fully concentrate on take out food. The one good thing to come out of this lock down is that master chef and owner Andrea and his wife Tanya are producing great take...

Excellent Italian restaurant, really stylish menu with loads of delicious options - excellent food and service, really delicious and well worth a visit!

I tried this restaurant because of the good reviews but I soon realized that the owner must have written all the good ones himself. When we arrive, there was only 1 staff on duty and 10 customers. It took at least 20 min before we...

How wonderful to find an old fashioned Italian restaurant, serving up the old favourites, like courgettes in batter,squid,halibut,veal saltimbocca, etc perfectly cooked, all tender. I liked the linen service and even the Italian pop from the 70's. My wife and I will definitely return.

We came here without a reservation on evening and they managed to fit us in. You know it's going to be good when you're sat next to a large group of Italians! Food was lovely, service was great and would 100% return.

They were all so polite and accommodating to us, made the evening so easy and lovely! Food was amazing too!

Ended up here by mistake as we had tried to go to a pub nearby to eat but were too late. A guy sitting at the bar recommended coming here and what a great recommendation. They fit us in quite late at 9.45pm, service was...

Love the pizza. Have tried take away and eat in the restaurant. Loved the fish as well earlier , the last two times I had a feeling it was a little dry and not cooked as well. You need to be careful to choose your...

I have been in this restaurant for dinner with my friends and we spent a lovely time there. The food is amazing, they have a big selection of fresh fish that you can choose from the counter and they will cook for you. We took...

Stunning food! Beautiful pasta. Fresh seafood. Lovely service. Really hope that they will bring back the octopus when it’s in season again. Worth making the trip out to West London. Much better quality of food than some of those overrated but famous Italian restaurants in...

Good food (we ate fish), nice ambiance (we sat upstairs), attentive service. The extensive wine list is a little pricey, but overall still decent value for the location.

Some excellent focaccia. Lovely olives. The Regina pizza was very good. The mussels were eclectic. Superb service.

We loved it. The staff are so helpful and friendly (they had a wedding reception upstairs, so were very busy) they went out of their way for the toddler who was with us. The pizza was great, as was the risotto and clams. our friends...

On our vacation in London, we were craving some Italian food and found that this place had great reviews so made the short walk to try it out. Worth it. The space was very tight/cozy, but it's London and it's like that everywhere! Service was...

I made a reservation here for my son and I after reading mostly very positive reviews on TripAdvisor but our experience was just terrible. The food was bad. My son’s veal saltimbocca was just dry meat covered with grease and the sautéed spinach served with...

I could not fault the dinner my wife and I had. Staff were friendly and courteous, food was fresh, well cooked and well presented with excellent service. Shall certainly go again when next visiting London.

Always love San Pietro. The place is on a beautiful little London street, the restaurant is gorgeous. The food is made fresh, with plenty of fish, meat and veggie Italian dishes! The service is always superb. Can’t wait to go back.

Went to this great restaurant after the London Marathon for a celebration meal, we were not disappointed. The food was excellent as was the service. Thank you very much for making a special day even better. I would highly recommend this small, friendly restaurant.

We went for lunch to this restaurant and it was fantastic food. The quality of the food is amazing. My tuna tartare was amazing. I guess the only reason I am giving it a 4 star is because this restaurant has no gluten free bread...

Had a really nice meal. Working in the hospitality sector myself and living in Italy for long time I could really appreciate the service I received. You can see standards are followed here. Food was great, mixed seafood platter was fresh and staff trained and...

I love seafood and choose here for a special lunch. The decor & service were fine. Sadly they had no French oysters the west mersea seemed to be a bit tired. Mussels were tasty though in a rather grey sludge sauce. I love John Dory...

An early Friday evening dinner with delicious food in a cosy restaurant with great service. We had the mixed fried seafood for 2 and the scallops to start all the mixed seafood was more than plentiful and the scallops were amazing and perfectly cooked. 3...

Went for dinner having found this restaurant on the web so it was very much 'sight unseen '. My colleague had asked for seafood and Italian and as we were staying near Gloucester Road, the San Pietro fitted the bill perfectly! The menu was interesting...

I lost the count how many time I Been to San Pietro .. the executive chef Mattia pellegrin is master chef 🇮🇹.. he really put a lot of love in what he do .. everting he cook is amazing .. special .. really no word...

The food, ambience, service is impeccable. We were greeted with very friendly and smiley staff unlike some other restaurants. We highly recommend the deep fried zucchini, risotto, spaghetti vongole, tiramisu and semifreddo. We would have tried other items in the menu but we so full...

Came upon San Pietro when wandering through Kensington, nipped in to reserve a table, and returned for an excellent dinner. Imaginative menu and a chef who clearly knows what he is doing. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Being Italian, I can confirm the quality of this restaurant is top notch. Excellent pasta plates and delicious fish which can be accompanied by very good wines. Also a very good service.

Had a romantic dinner with my girlfriend in the upper room and everything was amazing from the food, fresh and tasty, to the staff. Thanks to my friend Francesco for recommending this great restaurant because I will surely come back!

Really enjoyed our lunch at San Pietro. The staff were extremely nice and provided perfect service. I really enjoyed the grilled shrimp salad and then had amazing veal meatballs. We’ll be back!

The other lunch time in miserable January, my wife and I popped into this lovely restaurant just off Kensington High Street on the advice of some locals who have been voicing their plaudits. The restaurant, I knew, was relatively new and is wonderfully warming with...

Our experience here was very poor indeed at a recent dinner on a cold night. The lady who welcomed us was very nice, and seated us at a nice table upstairs. However, this was as good as it got. Our waiter, a bearded fellow, was...

I tend to go to this restaurant around once every two months or so. My last visit was before Christmas. The owner makes a point of visiting each table introducing himself and asking about the food and service. I normally have fresh pasta, usually a...

We love this place and keep coming back for more. The food, wine, service, setting etc. are all perfect. Not the cheapest but certainly worth every penny!

I should not be surprised at the prices. Mere location would suggest that it would be expensive. Friendly staff, service average, menu average. Expensive for very average food.

I just want say thank you to all people works at San Pietro restaurant starting from Davide Mattia Marco Pasquale Francesco the real Italian true chef .. the manager Giulia let feel you like home .. very professional and sweet at same time .. and...

This restaurant is a bit of a gem. It's a short walk from the Holiday Inn where we were staying. We had deep fried anchovies ad octopus as the started and hake and potatoes and tuna pasta as our main courses. The restaurant had a...

I have gone to this small restaurant on two floors twice in the past month. On the two occasions we have chosen various meals including pasta, pizza and fish. The meals were both well presented and very tasty. The owner visits every table to make...

Lovely family-run restaurant on a side street in Kensington. Best fresh fish I've tasted in London. If you are both seafood and Italian food lover just like me, @sanpietro7 is definitely the place you wanna be.

Sit at the bar - have a negroni and watch your sardines sizzle on the grill! What a find and what a lovely family run restaurant with warm and friendly staff and top quality ingredients. From the pizza to the pasta to the fish on...

We have been to this restaurant several times and have always enjoyed great food and service. The excellent Simone ensures that everything runs seamlessly . The daily specials are particularly good!

unlike their busy sister restaurant Portobello Pizza in the heart of Nothinghill this is a very quite neighbourhood restaurant on a side street in Kensington with an elegant touch and a good selection of wines, fresh fish amazing pastas and delicious pizzas like in Naples,...

We just found the restaurant today and we decided to give it a try for lunch. Food was excellent (we took the grilled seabas , salmon and mussels) and we didn’t miss the delicious tiramisu as well! Great service! However inside was a little bit...

Best Italian reataurant in W8.A bit hidden, but amazing food, amazing ambiance with open cuisine, but excelent environment such as family/ friendly one.

Lovely atmosphere, food was nice we preferred pasta and desert. The service was great, waiting time was just perfect Gioia was incredibly friendly and caring.. she suggested different options and we appreciated her advices on what to order

We visited with a group for lunch, and we received a very warm welcome at this excellent fish restaurant. Some if the best fish and seafood I've tasted in London. All cooked beautifully, and very well presented. Efficient and wonderfully friendly staff.

Warm welcome and a free glass of bubbles went down well. Nice friendly service, tasty meals and dessert. Space a bit tight and waiters do knock into you a bit if you’re seated on the aisle - I had several apologies. Good evening and food.
