The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

Fantastic food wonderful staff and especial mención to Alexis..we'll be back

Arrived quickly. Food was hot and delicious

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service and good food

Elegimos este restaurante ya que nos apetecía una comida italiana aunque otros restaurantes de la zona parecían más populares. La comida no decepcionó, tuvimos una pasta con pesto pistacho que estaba delicioso, y una pizza crujiente de setas encantadora. Tuvimos un Pinot Grigio que era agradable.

We arrived at 6.30 and had a table booked for 6 adults and 5 children. Staff were friendly but the service was slow and they were not attentive. When we needed drinks I had to walk to the bar as we were not being asked and then I had to ask again as they still did not arrive. After an hour the manager asked if we had eaten and we said we had only had starters. She said she would get the kitchen to make the food. The food was poor quality (the garlic bread with cheese was mostly without cheese) and two of the pasta dishes didn’t have the extra chillies asked for. When I went to the bar, staff were standing there on their phones whilst people were complaining all over the restaurant. We were not kept up to date with what was happening or informed of any delay. When asked we were told they were short staffed and had a lot of walk in customer. The whole experience was poor. Food was not great. Communication was nonexistent. Staff were friendly but not doing their job or providing a good service. I won’t be going back.

Brilliant restaurant and inspired meals served with gusto great hospitality, genuine kindness, and admirable efficiency. The Cornwall crab pasta was incredible and the goat cheese tasted like no other, but in all fairness, everything was amazing.

After dining at Scalini in London last Friday, I can confidently say that the experience exceeded all our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the Italian food was absolutely delicious. It was one of the best Italian meals I’ve had worldwide. We will definitely be back, visit at your other locations on our travels. Thank you Team Scalini

Food is always nice & usually hot but this time was luke warm to near cold & considering the delivery was early, it spoiled the food.

Food: Oysters were fine but 3 were of smaller size than the others. Fried Artichokes risotto was bland-would not recommend. Linguine with crab meat was rich and savoury and would recommend. Pan-fried monk fish was okay- could be more moist. Tiramisu was above average. Sardinian cheese with honey was nice with a citrus note. Service: Attentive waiter, however took a while to get their attention for the bill. Atmosphere: Dim, modern, suitable for dates. Bit costly for the portion.

We found the food rather bland and unimaginative. Vegetables lacked any sessioning while the chicken and fish were OK but the dish lacked flavour. Used to be much better

Unquestionably the best quality pizza in crystal palace and I've tried them all. Staff are friendly and welcoming too.

Expensive no choice panini hot drinks smoothie no other food the odd day maybe pizza but that's it and it very expensive

I had a meeting for approximately 20people from a local hospital and i can safely say the service at Piccolino was exemplary. Wislan and Arek took such good care of us. Wislan put me at ease advised exactly what i should get which made my life easier. service was second to none and would not hesitate to come back again. I am looking forward to organising my next meeting there. i would also like to mention Alessia who was so amazing in the run up to the meeting and made the whole process so easy. overall a great team at piccolino , Hedden st!

I was greeted with a very welcoming " Hi, Hello!" from Esma, who offered us the best service ever!

We've dined at Zizi in Greenwich twice now - first for our child's birthday celebration and again recently. On both occasions, we were captivated by the stunning views of the Thames and Canary Wharf. Pavez has been our server both times, and he's been an exceptional host. His charm and friendly manner have particularly impressed my 6-year-old daughter! We highly recommend this restaurant, especially the attentive service from their team that makes for a truly memorable experience. Best wishes - Stephen and Family"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
