Scalini in Kensington and Chelsea

The restaurant is very beautiful, the food is great, and the atmosphere is beautiful; The service could be better compared to the price.

Best of the best. Top 3 old school Italian restaurants in London. Everything super good!

Good restaurant, warm welcome, friendly servers, the cuisine, a treat, festive atmosphere. I recommend!

One of my favourite restaurants in London by far.

Absolutely amazing food, great staff. Cannot find a fault with the food BUT, they need to revise their lighting. Currently it is hospital white and its very uninviting, this can be easily solved with those rechargeable lights you can put on the tables, makes everyone look nicer even the food, and makes the place sexier in general for punters.

Atmosphere and staffs are really authentic Italian!!

The food was excellent, but I did not like the service. You feel like they are serving you against their will, and this is something I noticed with most visitors, not just me.

It is a perfectly designed in Italian vibes. The food is delicious and service is great,, lobster spaghetti is a must. However, it is better to book ahead of time.

The food & service were amazing but the noise was very loud… we had dinner at the level floor and we were not able to hear each other… The acoustics need improvement…

Great place good service and the personal.

Wir bekamen ohne Reservierung einen Tisch gerichtet und wurden freundlichst begrüßt. Die Speisekarte hat uns sehr gut gefallen sodass uns die Auswahl schwer gefallen ist, weil es so viele schöne Sachen gab. Von allem waren wir sehr begeistert, wundervolle Qualität und auch schön anzusehen. Weine exzellent und auch das Dessert, der Espresso war große Klasse! Die Ober haben uns freundlichst umsorgt Preis/ Leistung hat auch gestimmt. Es hat uns so gut gefallen das wir für den nächsten Abend reserviert haben - wir bekamen den gleichen schönen Tisch alles paletti!!!!! Da gehen wir bei unserem nächsten Londonbesuch sicherlich wieder hin.

As usual, cannot go wrong with Scalini if you want to invite someone.

Main dishes are tasty (4.5 if googles allows half point per category), including sea bass (natural and light flavour which I like), sea food pasta (lobster pasta would be v good choice). Passionate and welcoming staff! Quite warm inside but it’s on me :p.

Local maravilloso, cardápio variado com muitas opções, foi um achado em nossa ultima noite em Londres, super recomendo

They dont allow children in strollers in their restaurant. Location was almost empty. Never experienced something like that before.

We tried burrata salad, spaghetti red sauce, lasagna and risotto with mushrooms. Everything was so good 👌

We expected more based on recommendations. The lasagna was beautiful but served cold. The pasta dish sounded great, shrimp, mushrooms, asparagus in a cream sauce with mozzarella cheese. It was basically congealed. I wasn’t impressed but a fellow diner liked the taste.

Great Italian restaurant with really friendly staff and an amazing menu. We had the crab tagliolini and ossobuco and they were sublime. Hearty, authentic italian cooking.

The branzino was good, mushroom risotto fairly good. The rest okay.

The varieties are few and the prices are high The food changed when the owner changed And the chef. Unfortunately, he is no longer the old Scalini

Very noisy, terrible food. We were served lobster linguini so spicy that covered the delicate taste of lobster. I could go on but was really a poor experience in a very noisy big room.

One of the best italians in London.

We had a lovely and joyful dinner all thanks to Nicola. He lights up the place with his smile and singing 💕💕👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

too loud atmosphere i could even talk to waiter in a normal voice as he did not hear well & I could not shout. Bread did not taste fresh at all Parmiganno not same It used yo be yummy veal picatta had too muscles , i could not chew easily , i had to return Senior waiter was not happy He judged before listening yo tge Customer! My arugula salad with avocado was nice as i was hungry. Younger staff was more accommodating and relaxed . Disappointing experience. I certainly had better experiences before . in addition they rush you when u reserve to make sure more turn over of Customers , Ofcourse

Was not especially impressed by the starters but the pasta dishes were excellent!

Had great time there! The food, atmosphere, and especially the service. Nicola was our server and I think he’s the best server I ever encountered. He created the perfect atmosphere for us and always gave us what we needed before I ask him. Thank you so much Nicola!

Best food best hospitality from Nicola 😍😍

Wonderful neighbourhood Italian restaurant with a nice conservatory area at the back.

One of the oldest Italian restaurants in London's Knightsbridge.

- Good food, and great friendly staff, with personal touches and accommodations to dietary preferences. - Both the restaurant and the staff are very accommodating to all varieties of personal celebrations. On consecutive days we celebrated a Masters graduation and a family friend birthday. - It was nice celebratory with a “familiar” vibe without disturbance to the general atmosphere of the restaurant.

The quality of the cooking is always of a high standard. The minestrone soup is outstanding The seafood pasta is brimming with crustaceans. Service is faultless and sophisticated. The dining crowd is always lively and exciting to behold. Not a stuffy place but rather a taste of Italy at its best.

This place deserves a higher rating! The service was excellent and the staff were so attentive. The food was beautiful (highly recommend the lasagne) and the atmosphere is classy. Will definitely come back on my next visit to London!

Stunning dining. Excellent service. Food out of this world.

Staff members are very nice and helpful. Service is fast. Atmosphere is perfect gives the Italian restaurants vibes👌🏼recommend to try.

Excellent in all respects, never disappoints

Amazing restaurant, delicious food, spotless service. As Italian in hospitality business for many years, I highly recommend it. One of the best Italian restaurants in London

Beautiful inside, thought the seafood and the meat was extremely fresh and well prepared. Great white tablecloth establishment and wonderful for special occasions

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The different types of pasta we tried were really bad, lacking flavor and quality. To make matters worse, our waiter added a tip to the bill without asking for our approval first. This left a negative impression and we won't be returning.

Food taste was totally average. Dubai’s Scalini is wayy better

Lovely place :) amazing food and very friendly staff

We celebrated a birthday at Scalini last night, and it was fantastic! With a group of four adults and one child, we enjoyed incredibly delicious food in an atmosphere that truly felt like Italy. Despite not having pizza, the diverse and flavorful dishes more than satisfied us. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a delightful Italian dining experience! ---

It was all amazing, even when I was shocked with the bread crumbs , the staff was so caring. Special thanks to them

Classic Italian venue. Expert service professionals. Good food. These people.know their business.

An Italian restaurant for over twenty years and the oldest Italian restaurants in London

So delicious Totally nice and very caring waiters Chic, classy but still comfortable

The Zucchini flowers are not flowers with riccotta just small courgettes for £25 that is a scam- The veal liver with Salvia was over cooked despite specifying a pink very pink cooking ( the only way liver can/ should be served) This dinner was completely a no no - So disapointing! You can not give more than one star for a cooking that is really from a third rate restaurant at exorbitant prices.

Delicious Italian food. Smaller portions so you can eat different dishes. Portions are also fine for children. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere with pleasant Italian music in the background. Also worth mentioning: the toilets are very clean and luxurious. Highly recommended if you want to eat well in London (next to Harrods).

The BEST Italian in London. Massimo and singing Nicolas are a joy and make you feel so happy like you have been transported to Italy for the evening. Highly recommend plus delicious food

Had heard mixed reviews about Scalini, but we had a great time catching up with a friend there. The food is Italian homemade perfection and the service is on point, but Mr. Nicola is fantastic! He made our night. The salmon fettucine was the best, but every single dish was cleaned off the plate. The restaurant was quiet at 7pm when we sat down, but was packed by 8.30pm The crowds are mixed, from dates and friendly catchups, to birthday dinners (we had two such celebrations the night we were there). Would highly recommend for the Italian family feeling and for the comfort food.

Very good Italian restaurant feels at home very good food nice atmosphere quality price acceptable the only inconvenience you hear noise everyone speaks out loud

Scalini is a great Italian restaurant with lovely staff members. food is unreal!! So tasty and wide range menu. You can even order the classic pasta dishes that you desire that isn’t on the menu. World class!!

Great staff and hosts, however they pack the tables so close I felt uncomfortable. And noise level was very high. However my experience was hopefully a one off a I will try again.

Terrible customer service, they were rushing us ans taking our almost full plates off the table multiple times and they were overly charging us for expensive wine without giving us any drink menu. On top of that, the food tasted horrible from the starters to main courses. We ordered lobster starter ans there was only few tiny pieces in there ans the rest was the mayonnaise sauce, the beef starter tasted horrible too and the main course veal steak arrived cold and tasteless, they mentioned that it comes with bolognese spaghetti ans we got charged for that too. There is nothing special about this place at all apart from getting ripped off with the prices. They will speak to you in Italian and confuse you with the order and make yoi order.. in summary, If you want to get scammed FEEL FREE TO COME TO THIS PLACE. 0 stars👎🏼

Excited to test out this restaurant after hearing about it. Start off strong with a good coperto, which was tasty and authentic. The starters were nice but after offering to refill the bread they simply didn’t come. 3 falling forks and knives later the Escaloppe Milanese arrived. I asked for a side - didn’t arrive at the same time - didn’t arrive at all. Obviously on our bill but disappeared into the abyss. In agony we looked up and around to see fake plastic lemons and green leaves stiched onto a wall. Terrific!

Very nice authentic Italian restaurant. Highly recommend their truffle veal pasta. Service is very nice and attentive. This place is perfect for lunch with natural light in the room

Really nice authentic place around my neighborhood.

The worst experience ever. We paid double the amount of the bill! The day I noticed, his excuse was a mistake, but he returned it at the same time after I politely treated him and I spoke to the manager and did not allow him to complete the fraud. I would be surprised if they saw Arabs making these movements and I only got the money back to me! It is impossible to repeat the experience, there is nothing wrong with it, no food, no service, no place 🤢

Great Service and atmosphere but food not meeting standard particularly given the price tag. Quite disappointed

The best!! Love love all the dishes we tried. Amazing atmosphere and service. The vibe was just great!

A lovely upmarket Italian restaurant in Chelsea with a great busy vibe, good food and service. Nice round tables for family or friends groups making it perfect for a celebration or other occasion.

It was very crowded and they sat us in the centre table and it was a disappointment, but the service was impressive … we ordered ravioli and it was delicious 🤤 also the risotto was to die for but the pasta was not that good really , the vibes gave Italian 🇮🇹 night

Good experience and friendly staff, food also very good.

The food here is undoubtedly a perfect 10/10 and as always Scalini’s service never fails to impress! A special shoutout to our outstanding waiter, Nicola, whose character added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Will definitely be coming back!

The food was amazing! And the service was excellent, especially from nicola !!!

A London institution, excellent in every way and if you get Nicola as your waiter, you are in for a treat. Super!

Good food and service it’s one of my favourite Italian restaurants in London

Food was better before, front desk ruder than before. They don’t welcome guests nicely not sure the reason for this and they make you want to leave as soon as you enter the door. Shame use to like this place although service seems to get ruder by the minute literally.

Bistro type room, food seems.more.quantity than extreme quality but very good nevertheless

Um restaurante Italiano que prima pelo requinte, elegância e bom gosto, com um staff fantástico.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is beautiful

Bon restaurant italien dans le quartier huppé de Londres. La cuisine est bonne et les portions généreuses. Les produits sont frais. Mention spéciale pour le service qui était au top !

Very rude staff. When I refused to pay the 10% service, the waiter told the receptionist to Block me!!!! Honestly, I dont care because I will not visit this resturant again. The pasta was not well cooked pasta and the fish was cold. The machine dont accept international visa to pay!!!! The place was small and the chairs were not comfortable. They don't deserve to pay 10% service and even they don't ask me if the food is good.

Classically Italian and that means delicious. Pricey but not at all unreasonable given the location, portions, quality and service.

Nothing special, staff not very nice, also was put off when we saw waitress serving food with her hair hanging down into the plates of food, her hair should have been tied up! Way nicer italian restaurants in London.

لابأس فيه وما اكرر الزياره كان عادي جداً

The Lobster 🦞 Sphaghetti is sooooo good!!!

Simply delicious. Amazing food, always fresh.

المطعم لازم حجوزات دائم مزدحم والمكان صغير لأكن الأطباق جداً لذيذة ومميزه الويترز خدومياً كانت تجربة مميزه 💙💙

First came here about 20 years ago and have been a return diner on and off since. Living abroad means we have only been there a couple of times in the last two years. We took my family and mother in law there last week and a lot has changed. In short what was a convivial “bon viveur ambience” had sadly changed. Not for me thanks.

Fantastic service, food was amazing great location. Atmosphere is an interesting modern, clean yet cozy and intimate.

Bad experience. The setting doesn’t give a vibe of a nice restaurant in London. Also the table almost broke and is really low quality material. The food tasted bland, Good quantity though but still way overpriced.

Italian food at its best Ultra fresh high quality ingredients - the spaghetti with lobster is mouth watering i had it with olio sauce and so is the spaghetti with parmesan cheese and truffle (after taste can get any better) Pricy but worth the penny Bravo - i shall come again

DISAPPOINTING service, waiter was sarcastic and a bit rude, I would rate the food okay at best - nothing special - and certainly not worth the hefty bill, overpriced for what it was and especially when they didn’t pack all the leftover food as requested more then once Just felt a lack of respect for their customers

المطعم نظيف ومرتب الاكل عادي جداً اللزانيا كانت لذيذه والمميز ان الاكل يجي ساخن جداً والخدمه ممتازه..

كل شي جميل من اكل وخدمه وكل شي حقيقي يتكرر مره واثنين وثلاثه

Absolutely superb evening. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Pasta with prawns in cream sauce was to die for.

A brief overview: very cozy and family-like food was great service was good too More in detail Food 9.5/10 Scallop(fish) 10/10: very tender and flavourful and the presentation was perfect for pictures. Pasta selection 10/10: another must get the cheese ravioli was spot on and so were the rest of the pastas Calamari 9/10: good flavor and nicely crispy. Veal milanese in peppercorn sauce 5/10: the sauce wasn't too great but it was cooked nicely. Veal milanese(normal) 10/10: Cooked well and tasted delicious. Atmosphere10/10: Homey as mentioned before it feels like the type of place where you would meet old friends and family members.

One of the best Italian restaurants ever. The langoustine is AMAZING

TL;DR Went there for lunch, ok with coming back, but will check out other options first. An establishment with good quality Italian food. Very professional team and great half bottle wine selection! The vibe was 1990 style classic

I just love this Italian restaurant.. I never miss it whenever I’m in the city. If you haven’t been there, you have to experience it.

Was the best so far which I had in London !!

Wer auf der Suche nach einer italienischen Geschmacksexplosion oder gar einem angemessenen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist, sollte dieses Lokal meiden. Das Servicepersonal war sehr freundlich und verdient definitiv 5 Sterne, doch ins Restaurant geht man nun mal vor allem auch, um gut zu essen. Und gerade daran haperte es, vor allem angesichts der Preise. Das Brot, das zur Vorspeise gereicht wurde, war trocken und lieblos gewürzt. Die Oliven waren gut. Der Hauptgang - Wolfsbarschfilet - war gut, doch die Beilagen (ich hatte Brokkoli, Bohnen und Kartoffeln) die man sich extra dazugestellten musste, waren kaum gewürzt und schmeckten daher langweilig. Insbesondere die „roast potatoes“ waren eine Enttäuschung - jegliche von mir jemals selbst zubereiteten Kartoffeln schmecken besser - ich kann mir dies nur so erklären, dass die Kartoffeln hier nicht frisch geröstet, sondern nur aufgewärmt wurden.. Insgesamt zahlten wir gut £80 p.P. Fazit: Das Essen ist das Geld nicht wert, geht lieber woanders hin.

المطعم ايطالي ولذييييذ ... اكلت عنده اسباجتي بالربيان سبايسي لذيييذ 👌🏼

Really beautiful hidden gem - food was really good and service really quick 😀 Very much recommend

Every time I visit London I try my best to have dinner at Scalini. I think it is one of the best Italian Restaurants there. Spaghetti with Lobster 🦞, calamari, special cocktails shrimp 🍤 was my order and was absolutely delicious 🤤. My only comment is the working hours quite short

Muy rica la comida. Muy buen servicio. Hay que hacer reserva porque es muy concurrido.

One of the famous Italian cuisines in London

Not the Scalini you might remember except service is still exceptional and it's manged to retain that nostalgic charm. Food is very ordinary vs what you can buy from the $$$$ Scalini prices. To be fair however, the portions were huge and we could have shared every dish and halved the bill 😅Coffee was inexcusable as one of the iconic Italian restaurants in London.

service is great & food excellent

The food was quite good but you should be able to get pasta right . To be frank I feel these people are above themselves . I had the distinct feeling I was doing them a favour by being there . The prices were high very high There are sme good genuine homely welcoming Italian restaurants in London
