The best and finest coffee in London 🌷Thank you for your kind treatment

Excellent place for a drink and a nice atmosphere. There was a special offer on the Monday so the wine was at off-licence price! My only criticism was for the Avo- cetta which was unexciting and bread too thick. Otherwise recommended

We wanted to visit the museums and find a restaurant... for 4 a good hearty meal £30 it's good and not expensive

Amazing service by our waiter Nicola very informative and certainly knew his job. Pink Moët on ice OMG the best drink I have ever had. We will be back.

Many thanks to reception team they give us warm welcome. Coming to interior, it is such an amazing, talking about food it’s is delicious and all team members of the restaurant are soo friendly. This is the place where I will definitely willing to come back.

El mejor pescado con papas fritas que he tenido en Londres por una milla. . se puede probar la calidad de la comida cuando se come. También tenía costillas en el lado que eran deliciosos. Les he contado a todos mis amigos y familiares sobre Micks y también les encanta la comida. Me alegro de haber encontrado esta joya escondida porque la mayoría de las tiendas de pescado y patatas fritas son horribles hoy en día.

Estuvimos para un almuerzo ligero. Pedimos Falafel, Hoummos, Tikka Kebbab y fruta fresca. Comida de buen sabor, particularmente el hoummos. La atención buena, un tanto demorada, pese a no estar muy lleno. El local es básico y funcional. Es una buena opción para una comida o cena informal, probando algo distinto.

Didn't get food but got cocktails which weren't very good, especially as they cost £20, then a service fee was also added on top where the server got our order slightly wrong.

Me sentí seguro con el portero trabajando. El personal del bar era agradable. Lo negativo fue que perdí todo mi dinero, pero bueno, ¡eso es lo que hacen los casinos!

Essenza es un tesoro absoluto en el corazón de Notting Hill. Desde el momento en que entras, te encuentras con un ambiente cálido y auténtico italiano que marca el tono para una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable. Comenzamos con los calamares fritos, que estaban perfectamente crujientes por fuera y tiernos por dentro, un comienzo increíble que nos hizo emocionarnos por lo que estaba por venir. La selección de entrantes fue muy bien presentada y llena de sabor, estableciendo el listón alto desde el principio. Para el plato principal, disfrutamos de su tagliatelle con trufa, rica, fragante e increíblemente satisfactoria, y el clásico boloñés, que era abundante, reconfortante y lleno de profundidad tradicional italiana. Cada plato vino en porciones generosas que dieron en el punto dulce entre la calidad y la cantidad. Y justo cuando pensamos que no podía mejorar, terminamos con una nota alta con su tiramisú —ligero, cremoso y con una de las mejores manos en la vida. Essenza lo clava en todos los frentes: ingredientes de calidad, porciones generosas, ambiente acogedor y una ubicación privilegiada justo en el corazón de Notting Hill. Tanto si eres un local o solo de visita, este lugar es una visita obligada - probar.

Nestled in the stylish neighborhood of Chelsea, this restaurant exudes classic Italian charm with its chic decor, warm atmosphere, and an incredible focus on both food and service.

Now, on to the food, which was nothing short of perfection. I started with the beef carpaccio, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The quality of the beef was outstanding—perfectly tender, fresh, and full of flavor, just as it should be. The seasoning was delicate yet balanced, enhancing the natural flavors of the dish without overpowering them. It was beautifully presented and truly felt like the work of a chef with a deep passion for Italian cuisine. For my main, I opted for the risotto, and I could not have been happier with my choice. The risotto was perfectly cooked, with that creamy texture that is so hard to achieve yet so essential. Each bite was rich and indulgent, with flavors that were both comforting and sophisticated. You can tell that the kitchen team at Daphne’s take immense pride in the quality of their ingredients and their ability to execute traditional recipes with precise, thoughtful attention to detail. The restaurant’s atmosphere also deserves to be highlighted.

The softly lit interior, adorned with Italian-style artwork, creates an ambiance that invites you to relax and immerse yourself in the experience. The vibe is upscale but not pretentious, making it feel like a truly special destination without losing its sense of comfort. While I only had the chance to enjoy the two dishes on this visit, the rest of the menu looks equally incredible. Classic Italian dishes combined with seasonal ingredients show the kitchen’s mastery of blending tradition with contemporary flair. It has left me excited to return and explore more of their offering. Final Thoughts? Daphne’s is a masterclass in Italian fine dining that hits all the right notes: delicious food crafted with passion, flawless service, and an ambiance that makes you want to linger for hours.

They make excellent pizza. We loved it.

It is a lovely place for lunch or dinner, with a great selection of pasta and wine, pleasant music on the background and very friendly, helpful and simply wonderful service.

Probably the best Italian restaurant in town.
