The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

We came at 4pm before our cinema booking just next to zizzi at 530. At that point the restaurant didn’t seem overly busy. We hadn’t booked to be fair, but they checked and said they gave us a table. We said we have the cinema booked so we don’t need the table for a long time if they have later bookings. Nothing was said about delays or timings. We proceeded to order food and drinks. 45 mins later we still had no drinks or food. Most tables that arrived after us had their drinks. I spoke to a waitress she said they would be with me very soon and food would be 15 mins, I felt that would be ok as we’d still have half hour. A little rushed. 20 mins later still no drinks or food. I spoke to someone again and they said food was coming. We got our food after an hour and 15 mins. Still no drinks. I told them they might as well cancel the drinks - they said they were coming (most were just sprites!) 10 mins later as we finished the food they gave us drinks so had no choice but to pay for them. No apology we didn’t finish them as we had to leave. It was a Christmas treat but we left with indigestion and a hefty bill Not great

Very good experience. We can start with the intimate atmosphere and modern decoration. The person who served us was surely the most welcoming, warm and entertaining person I met during my entire vacation in London. And finally, the food was divine. The cooking point of the meat was simply perfect, the sauce contrasted very well with the meat and finally the shrimp with the garlic butter sauce was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend. You won't regret it. Thanks to the whole team and see you soon

I wouldn’t recommend they close downstairs early for no reason whatsoever leaving people to crowd around upstairs.I asked the staff and they gave no reason. Joe and the Juice are a much better option, nicer drinks and they keep all their seating open till closing time.

Snowball doughball wreath was delicious

Artigano is in belsize village not swiss cottage and it has closed . It's about to reopen as a very popular steak and salad restaurant

Average pizza even worse service. Very rude staff

Ante todo. . El mesero vive en otro planeta. Es muy lento y no entiende a los clientes. En segundo lugar, caro! ! 4 libras por un pedazo pequeño de pastel y ni siquiera era agradable. . ¡Qué mal lugar para tomar un café! ! ! ¡Nunca más! Aléjate de este lugar.

Seriously! I know how fast, easy and cheap it is to make an excellent carbonara from scratch with everything starting cold, so how it takes you this long and result in a product so bland and devoid of flavour is quite beyond me! Have not heard of salt and pepper before? Get you act together for christ sakes!

Good quality, great tasting pizza!

Very busy last night. And the understaffed staff were really helpful accommodating for the children whilst we waited for our ordered food.

Excellent food and good family service. The atmosphere was perhaps a little formal for a Chelsea lunch but nevertheless very charming. Set price lunch was not cheap, especially when you are charged a lot extra for things you like. However, quality was top notch and portions were about right. Wine was pricey as per most restaurants in London these days. There were, at least, some decent wines on the list which represented relative good value.

Our last meal in London, excellent welcome and service by Nadia. Small pizza, not great value for money for our taste. Nice place, too bad it is too noisy. Nadia was very pleasant, helpful and gave us good advice on the beer which was good.

I entered a not very busy restaurant with my wife and two children. I had to ask to be seated, ask to order, ask for another drink, ask for salt, pepper and Parmesan parmigiana, ask for the dessert menu and finally ask to pay. I know it’s called “Ask” but I doubt this was part of their vision. Food was 8 out of 10 and reasonably priced for the location, quality and portion size. 👍🏼 The service was terrible, staff was not attentive at all and definitely on the rude side. Made us feel like we were bothering them just by being customers. Unfortunate as that was the only let down of the experience.

Good food, great view and atmosphere, excellent service although portions are a little small.
