The best restaurants serving Italian food in Oval Lambeth London

I've been searching for the proper Italian gelato throughout London. While apartment hunting, accidentally found Emporium in Kennington that imports gelato from Naples. It was delicious!!! And the owner is extremely sweet, kind and was helpful in suggesting exploring a variety of flats in the area (she is a long time resident of Kennington). It's a great place to soothe one's sweet tooth and have a nice chat. Can't wait to return and taste some of the other flavors :)

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere is cozy, impeccably clean, and gives an authentic Italian charm. The wine selection was impressive, and it perfectly complemented the flavors of the evening. The food was absolutely delicious. I have to give special praise to the chef Dariusz for the lasagna with their special chili divinz oil. Fedorah, was a delight. She was incredibly kind, and attentive, ensuring every part of our experience was smooth and enjoyable. Favor, was a true professional. Not only was he knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, but his warm demeanor made us feel right at home. His service was prompt, thoughtful, and flawless. Roberto the owner is funny, genuine, and full of high spirits. His passion for the restaurant was evident in every interaction. The entire staff was caring and invested in making our evening memorable. The vibes were excellent from start to finish, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely cafe, with the warmest people and tastiest food. They have topnotch products, a real gem of a place.

Relaxed evening with lovely freshly prepared food and friendly staff. Good choice of wines and very reasonable prices, we will be back

Petit resto, type ancien, venus avec nos 4 enfants. choix restreint qui convient à la plupart. bonnes pizzas, personnel sympathique. toilettes confinées.

The quality of the food is outstanding and you have a menu including Italian, Iranian and Mediterranean. I have tried several dishes including the kobedah kebab, pastas, burgers etc all great ingredients. The staff are super friendly and always patient. I highly recommend this restaurant.
