The best restaurants serving Italian food in Elthorne Ealing London

stavo vagabondando in giro per il mercato di Brick Lane quando vedo un simpatico italiano che cuoceva degli gnocchi alla Romana o per maglio dire alla Amatriciana, incredibile trovare un piatto cosi bene cucinato in un vero stile italiano ma proposto in una chiave del tutto insolita lo street food !! Ragazzi che esperienza!! Molto buoni complimenti allo Chef !!!!

I used to love this restaurant, it was super busy and loud and fun. Service could be chaotic but always friendly and ultimately good. When I visited last week it was pretty quiet and remained so. The food was ok, it does feel like it’s not as good anymore. Maybe that’s because other, better places have opened but maybe it also is the quality of the food. Service was sketchy. We ordered desserts and they never came after 45 minutes so we gave up. We couldn’t attract a server to find out where they were. They do seem to do a decent take away business so their attention was on that. I think mostly it feels like it’s a takeaway that has tables these days. I asked for the bill and after 30 minutes nobody had come to take the payment. We had no drinks or food and were keen to get away as we’d been stuck in this little place for nearly 3 hours waiting over an hour for desserts that never came and to pay. I got up and asked to pay and was told it was cash only. I said quite worriedly that I only had my phone on me, I didn’t know that they didn’t accept cash. I was told quite bluntly that there’s a sign on the door and I should have read it. I didn’t notice it, nor did the two friends I’d met. I was told I could transfer by bank if I really couldn’t get cash so I did a bank transfer. I was told that I couldn’t leave until I’d proven I’d paid. I said I didn’t want to show them my bank account and a little guy started making noises behind me, punching his other hand, clearly in a threatening way. I showed them only the transaction I’d made and was allowed to leave. I said the service was terrible and that they should have told me it was cash only when I sat down. I was told I should be able to read. I said I’d ordered desserts that never came and was told that the waiter had left work and I should have chased them. I said that I’d had to wait over 30 minutes to pay and was told “you’ve been here 3 hours it can’t have been that bad”. I said I’d wanted to leave nearly 90 minutes ago but had been waiting for desserts that never arrived and to pay, the waitress became quite angry and was shouting at me to get out. So I did, quite happily. In all honesty the waitress seemed imbalanced and incapable of understanding why this had been a bad experience. I left and said all that they had to do was apologise for the bad service and she started shouting again. I promised to never return. Dreadful and quite scary.
