Sarracino in Camden

Rustic-looking, relaxed and even romantic atmosphere. Excellent home-cooked-type Italian food - be it pizzas or chicken in cream sauce or steak. Excellent eggplant parmesan too. Recommended.

I ordered pasta from specials menu that had white sauce and truffles - what I got was butter noodles that tasted like nothing with 2 tiny pieces of truffle. They charged this abomination 42 pounds. I would have gotten better dinner if I got instant ramen from convenience store and would have also saved 40 pounds. I took one bite of my pasta and told the waitress that I didnt like it. Instead of offering me to send it back she packaged it to go as if pasta I hated in the restaurant will magically become tasty when I get home? Overpriced mediocre food at best with awful service. I will be reconsidering future visits.

Brilliant little restaurant lovely food

Marvellous Authentic food Great attentive service Seemed like the other tables were full of Italians- always a great sign! Would recommend

It was amazing. We are regulars there and always enjoy going there very much. The food is great and real Italian food. Staff is amazing and service is very quick. Ambient is lovely and overall an amazing restaurant, recommend to everyone.

Cosy traditional Italian spot, lovely attentive staff and great home cooked food!

Atmosphere was lively, warm abd energetic and the staff were really friendly too. I ordered the asparagus risotto special which I immediately noticed was DRENCHED in olive oil, I didn't eat it all but ordered the tiramasu for desert. I was sick the next day sadly :(

The food is bland and lacks flavour. The owner chef is arrogant and while he believes that base ingredients generates the flavour but little does he not realise is how local herbs, spices such as cardamom, star ainse, cloves, and many other elevates the flavour even in an Italian cuisine, and that spices doesnt only mean chilli. The lack experimentation and arrogant mindset is what prevents this resturant from going from mediocre to exceptional. Yes it is your regular, run of the mill lovely setting place to have a pizza or some bland fish. The service is very good by the girls; always smiling and delivering a warm experience compensating for the lack of taste in the food cooked by the arrogant chef

Excellent local option. Always great!!

Very tasty pizza. Great service 🍕

Fantastic pizzas, the boccaccia pizza was amazing! Even my Italian boyfriend thought it was delicious and we were surprised that it didn't have a higher rating! Will definitely try the pasta next time!

On the menu says marinated aubergine but to me a bit bland, I didn’t expect they serve the cheese big chunky blocks like on the picture but the pizza based itself were fresh and good.

Love this place. Great Friday evening atmosphere and food 👌

Great spot, good ingredients, always consistent and tasty,

Gnocchi with beef are great. Service very good. New favourite :)

Great Italian with the brilliant Roberto, authentic food, good wines, great team to look after you, recommended! Check out the specials, we loved the veal chop, tuna carpacio, zuchini fries, the 'pizza' garlic bread, wines, ... but all good! Do go try it if you haven't.

The 007 is outstanding. Fast, friendly service as ever.

Delicious pasta and good service.

We booked 2pm Sunday lunch for a friends & family birthday lunch x12 of us - a long table on a sunny day, the windows all open. A huge success. Thank you, Sarracino😘. As a host and sharing the bill, we directed our guests to the "metres of pizza", four toppings per pizza, and shared salads & zucchini fries. Absolutely delicious and great fun. The rosé was flowing, a breeze wafting & a super atmosphere 🤩. We'd pre-planned for he super cheeses and honey platters, delicious. And...our guests also went wild with the afogato (icecream & coffee) desert, coffees &....our gifted lemoncello shots from the staff topped off the birthday party 🤗! Again, thank you, Sarracino. A huge success & wonderful afternoon xxxxx

Took my son for a pre game pizza, only had water, the bill was expensive. The middle of the pizza was not cooked well... the salami was not good either... not impressed. Waitress had attitude when not warranted

Shocking customer service. Accepted our takeaway order, taken our money, and shut the restaurant without any communication.

Very nice Italian restaurant We have been living for several years and it has always been excellent. I don't understand the negative reviews

Eat here weekly. The service and quality of food never changes, its always superb. Staff are wonderful and it gets super busy. Hardly surprising!!! Years later the quality in food and service are as good as ever.

Best Italian in Northwest London!

Best Italian in London by far! We have been going to Sarracino for over 10 years, at least once or twice a month.

Lovely and authentic Italian restaurant. Great pizza in particular, lots of vegetarian options.

Roberto is amazing owner. Thank you. Great service, food and ambience.

A fantastic local Italian with ever changing specials. Exactly what you hope and want it to be!

Fabulous. Arrived 5.30pm post cinema and greeted by super staff. Chose our table & ordered. Our lovely waitress remembered my order... six months later? Amazing! FYI, Escalopina but hold the potatoes & swap with veggies. Aubergine stack super. Mum swapped her usual liver for the espada (sword fish). Have to admit, after tasting a bite, 100% perfect. House wines, bread, oils, superb. Shared a cheese platter for desert: apple, honey. Also superb. Lovely local above average

pizza taste good but it is too soggy, so you cant take a slice in your hands without all topics falling off

The mots delicious and fresh Italian food, great prices, generous portions, complimentary bread and olive oil, huge aperol sprits and brilliant service. They don't rush you off your table and the vibes are great - 10/10

Good Italian pizza. Price a little high, around €14 for a 4 season. Fast service. A little small environment. Advised

Always a pleasure to eat at Sarracino. And the lovely Roberto (owner) an absolute star! Have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Great food, fantastic service, and very nice ambience. See you soon guys xxx

Good food good service staff very attentive but overpriced Very small portion of pasta Not very busy Tables very close to each other

Disappointing - received the wrong pizza after specifically ordering for collection.

Wow , we stumbled.on this place with a quick local search, amazing atmosphere, beautiful food and great staff. A welcome traditional italian , we will definatley make this a regular haunt, thank you.

Superb and authentic food. Atmospjere fantastic. The whole restaurant joined in singing a happy birthday to my 82 year old mother...

Came for dinner here with a friend, food was nice I had a diavola pizza which was spicy and the menu said as such but I did not like that I repeatedly had to ask for bread and olive oil and balsamic vinegar and I was told I would only be brought bread if I ordered something. Normally it is customary in Italian restaurants to offer bread I thought this was rude of the waitress who wasn't Italian but Eastern European possibly Romanian I suspect. I couldn't help but notice some Eastern European men were also being served preferentially being served bread without asking, drinks took a long time to come also. Personally I wouldn't go back service is just as important if not more than the food for me. God bless.

Nice portions. My salmon was cooked to perfection and the veggies were nicely sautéed. If only I was to be ultra critical, the place felt a bit crammed, with all the tables and chair squeezed together. Otherwise it’s been a lovely experience.

We had a great evening here. The food was tasty (I recommend the burrata starter and the pizza with potatoes), but this was surpassed by the friendly (and patient) staff! Would recommend to everyone, and will return.

My family and I recently celebrated my birthday at Sarracino restaurant and unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. Despite our anticipation for a memorable evening, we were met with disappointment on several fronts. First and foremost, we were surprised to find a charge on our bill for a birthday cake that we did not request. Not only was this an unwelcome addition to our expenses, but the cake itself was clearly not fresh. Additionally, the discomfort of the chairs detracted from our ability to fully enjoy the meal and ambiance of the restaurant. Overall, our experience at Sarracino fell short of our expectations for a special occasion. We hope that management will take our feedback into consideration and strive to improve both the quality of their offerings and the level of customer service provided.

Lovely place and the food was great. I emptied my plate and I will 100% go again.

We recently held a lunch to celebrate my daughter’s baptism at Sarracino in the lower ground area. We were a group of 30 guests. The staff were very helpful and experienced. We had an excellent experience. The food was sublime and all our guests commented on how lovely the food was. The wine list at Sarracino is excellent and we were able to enjoy some wonderful wines priced very reasonably. Nothing was trouble for the staff and we really had a wonderful time. Thank you!

We went there for my husband birthday food was delicious pizza was so tasty and service was great we will be back

Hi! I'm very unhappy with my order because your driver left his rubbish front of rhe door. Very rude guy please! Don't send him to here again. The another thing is I've ordered a half a meter pizza but someone forgot to slice it up.

Great food, great service!! Make sure you book ahead, it’s worth it!

Went here for the mother in laws birthday. Nice staff and atmosphere. We weren't overly impressed with the pasta dishes, but the children's pizza was lovely. Outside the sign says Sarracino Pizzeria, which would be a more fitting name on its google listing because clearly pizza is their specialty. Decent place for some quick grub but not for a nice birthday dinner imo.

Ordinato un piatto portato piatto diverso. Fatto notare alla persona interessata lei insisteva che l ordinazione era esatta ordinato piatto di pastasciutta portato capesante ordinato amaro nel bicchiere 2 cubetti di ghiaccio con 3 mm di amaro

Authentic Italian restaurant. Fantastic gamberi. Amazing buffalo mozzarella. Awesome pizza and desserts. Lemoncello in the end. All perfect. Staff friendly and professional.

Food was amazing. Portions were generous.

Was not happy with this place. Service is very poor and not helpful. I would not say the ladies were welcoming and polite. Food is quite expensive for this quality. Don't think I want to come back.

Very good food! Highly recommended

lovely staff, great service and amazing food. A local gem

Bonito restaurante, buen ambiente y fantástico trato del personal. La pasta está muy rica, también tiene buenas pizzas. Recomendable.

No.1 Restaurant of this high standard in the area, clean, fresh, welcoming and a wide selection of food your mouth waters for

The food and service at Sarracino was amazing!! Dana, Veto and Izabella were so kind, attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was 11/10! I would recommend this restaurant as the food was so delicious and the customer service was outstanding.

Fantastic hidden gem. Food is delicious and very attentive staff

Delicious, interesting menu. The owner clearly loves food & really knows about food.

Visited this Italian restaurant with my family for the first time on Saturday evening. We didn't make a reservation and although they were very busy, they found a table for the three of us. The front window opens up completely and we were offered a table by the window at first, as we went to sit down the wind got slightly stronger and the owner asked if we would be more comfortable downstairs in the other part of their restaurant, we chose to go downstairs and we ended up having the downstairs to ourselves. We had a lovely waitress looking after us and couldn't have done her job any better than she did, excellent service. The food was lovely and no one had any complaints regarding any part of their meals. I would highly recommend this Italian restaurant and we will be returning there soon to enjoy some more delicious Italian food. 10/10.

This is our favourite place to eat in London. The food here is fresh and delicious, it has never disappointed and we have gone more than 8 times. The service is very good, complimentary bread on arrival, always a full glass. 10/10 all round.

One of my favourite local Italians. Food quality is 10/10. Tables are a little tight - but it creates a nice buzzy feel. The best table is the one in the window, on a summers day when the windows are open. Free limoncello with the bill - always nice.

One of the best family owned Italian restaurants.

Authentic Italian food, we’ve been coming to sarracino for years for pasta and pizza. Always happy with our meal. Highly recommended it.

Great experience at Sarracino, found totally randomly as we were looking for a place that would still be serving dinner. Excellent pizza (and choice in general), and I'm a picky pizza eater ;) Staff are lovely.

Tasty food, great atmosphere, good service. Only thing it gets a bit too noisy.

Good little neighbourhood Italian in West Hampstead

Delicious food and cocktails, amazing atmopshere. Service could have been better.

You can be assured that the quality of food is always high, we have been going for 15 years now and we were never disappointed, not even once

I ordered a take away in this restaurant only because the reviews highlighted a good pizza. I am really concerned if all these people below ever had a good pizza..... probably not. I ordered a Siciliana pizza which looked more like a Margherita pizza. Where were the aubergine God only knows. Not impressed at all. Dry pizza base as well and the quality of the ingredients is acceptable. Will I order again? No.

This restaurant is definitely one of the bests in town.

Have only eaten in once but have been ordering delivery for years. Try both, you won’t be disappointed. Great tasting food, good wine recommendations and good service.

Good overall meal experience, staff were lovely and attentive, except one surly bald headed fella, seems less than happy with his lot in life, this was more than made up for by the rest of the team. I had a steak and potatoes which was good, if a bit more cooked than I asked for(medium), thankfully not leather. Everyone else in our party was happy with their meals.

Great restaurant with really good quality fresh food.

We have been coming to Sarracino for eight years now. Not one disappointing visit. Staff are friendly and we always love having a good chat. Plus - very kid's friendly!

We've been eating here for many years and have never had a bad experience. Menu is consistently delicious and lovely staff.

Great food and reasonable wait time for delivery.

This place is a great restaurant. It's not so big and so you're guaranteed good service. All of the staff working were efficient and very well mannered. The food cannot be faulted. It's very clear that the chef knows how to create authentic Italian food. You should go here if you want to taste it. It's a million miles away from those chains purporting to be Italian. It drops one star because in my opinion, the food would be much better, and stay hotter for longer if the plates were warmed... Food did get cold quite quickly here. Overall, it's a lovely place, with great food and I highly recommend it.

Wine good .ordered 3 pasta seaford dishes. Mine was good but my two guest dishes were very ordinary .Clams were ???? .

Brilliant family Italian restaurant. Have come here for years .

Amazing food. Staff very attentive and a very good atmosphere. Price very reasonablefor the location. Always a good sign when Italians are eating at an Italian restaurant. All in all absolutely A star 🌟 . Highly recommended

The atmosphere is really nice. The food as well , pizza Diavalo was good to spice then usual Diavola. The bread plate was not good I will suggest to change it. Everything else was good and I had a good time and nice food. Also nice stuff , friendly. I will recommend this place

L'Italia ha Londra si puo anche trovare negli ristoranti ma da Sarracino è assai lontana,il servizio è pessimo e il cibo idem. Non lo consiglio.

I am not giving 1 star only because we ate the food and the wine was good. We ordered a bottle of Picpoul de Pinot and received a small thick wine glasses. We’ve asked the head waiter/manager if we could have “normal” wine glasses, he said that they have glasses for each type of wine. When I asked what’s the reason for that as I’ve never heard of something similar, his response was that they don’t serve the nice glasses for cheap wine bottles! We were absolutely shocked. The pasta we’ve ordered was the one you buy in a shop and not made in the restaurant which was really disappointing. They put so much passata in each sauce that they all tasted the same. Since we all work in hospitality and know what the real customer service is, needles to say that we were not impressed. I just moved to the area and absolutely love Italian food but they missed to get a loyal customer.

My first choice when it comes to Italian in West Hampstead. Delicious and reasonably priced. Cocktails here are also exceptionally good, even better than some of the bars around the area and also reasonable just like the food.

Really good food and atmosphere. Defo book

Very good service and respectable pricing, also strategically placed with the 3 nearby stations and plenty of bars to choose from if you want to go somewhere else afterwards. Only real drawbacks I had was the egg on my pizza was overdone and the base was a little thick but otherwise a really authentic atmosphere. Would reccomend if you're in the area.

Such a cute, intimate and cozy little restaurant tucked away behind West Hampstead station. Authentic Italian. Great place for a date.

Made an order on deliveroo and when the pizza arrived the pizza topping was all in one corner of the box. When I complained the driver said ‘I can’t do anything the order has been accepted, call the restaurant’ and walked off. When I called the restaurant they literary said: ‘we gave it to the deliveroo driver and we don’t care what happens with the food after that’. Mind blowing service delivery all round!

Delicious pizza, very good service. Chilli oil was very good

Very nice food, but - the person who I'm guessing is the manager, was not very friendly, as a contrast to the other members of staff which were very helpfuly and nice.

Had a lovely Italian meal.Friendly staff and excellent food and good service.thank you!

Really really good pizza and food! Ordered a primavera and the orecchiette, both were delicious. Real depth to the taste - the pizza was fresh and also light and the pasta really had the tomato and aubergine coming through. A very Tucson typical Italian restaurant feel coming through not a dated and tired but rather timeless. Can't wait to go again. Service was respectful and wine was well priced (and tasty).

Good food, friendly staff who remember you on your return

Pizza was good but I received it uncut..

If you are looking for good and consistent Italian food then Sarracino is definitely the place to visit. Their dishes are very tasty. Love their sea food pasta and the bread is just amazing. Lovely and very welcoming staff and great ambience.

Great Italian, friendly service.

Just wow! I’m a VERY picky person when it comes to restaurants, good food and atmosphere but this one hits the mark! The food is nothing but authentic Italian. All freshly made. The service I was given was incredible! They went above and beyond. No music but the way this restaurant is you’d think there was a symphony behind you. Amazing is all I can say! 10 out of 10

Excellent food in this smallish West Hampstead Italian. Not a lot of atmosphere, but I do keep returning.

Sarracino is the best as always!! I had no idea it was on its way as I hadn’t had the ‘en route’ update so when a guy phoned, who sounded like he was talking through a cushion - ie I couldn’t understand a word! - I hadn’t a clue what was going on, we went out to the door on the off chance and he was there and very angry, I have no idea why as I couldn’t understand HIM on the phone!! There seemed to be an issue with the flat number 🤷‍♂️
