The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

Just to give a big shout out to Pizza Express London Bridge for running a fantastic pizza making party for my child’s birthday yesterday. The children (and adults) all had a brilliant time, and the pizza was delicious. Definitely recommended for kids’ parties.

Very deliciuos food and good customer service

He estado aquí con 3 amigos. ¡REPUGNANTE!Nadie en el material es italiano, incluido el propietario y el chef.Esto ya era alarmante.La comida es literalmente horrible.Mis amigos italianos estaban disgustados.Evite este lugar si quiere comer algo.Lo peor es que cuando se lo mencionamos al camarero, dijo que así es como cocinan allí y ¡es mejor que en Italia!

Absolutely top tier pizza. ~£15 per pizza, wine ~£30/bottle 12.5% service charge on all bills. 3 pizzas and wine ~£85.

I went here with a few friends to celebrate my graduation. Absolutely delighted with the service, the atmosphere, vibes, cocktails, EVERYTHING! Can't recommend this place enough! Everything was perfect! Thank you! Can't wait to go again! ♥️

I went to the Eataly shop for the first time. It is filled of lots of lovely looking food. I bought some samphire from here. The packaging doesnt make it very obvious that it may contain traces of all tree nuts. I wouldnt check thoroughly that a plain vegetable would contain nuts, and it wasnt made obvious. Ended up having an allergic reaction and in A And E. a vegetable shouldnt may contain nuts, and if it does make it very explicit not in small letter on the back.

We arrived bang on time for our 5.30 reservation, to be greeted and taken downstairs and sat in a table in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by pretty much empty tables. Compared to upstairs which was bright and lively ( and not full...) I could only describe downstairs as bleak. We ordered relatively quickly but I had to ask three times for tap water, I was incredibly thirsty and was on the verge of pouring my own glass (!) when my daughter asked for a third time and it finally came. The dough balls arrived very quickly, followed swiftly by the pizzas. As we were only half way through the dough balls they took them back and kept them warm. They returned with them about 10 minutes later and they were tiny ...also very over seasoned and greasy. All in all very disappointed, and wish we had gone to one of the many different restaurants in the area.

Really poor experience, loads of tables just left in a state after people had finished eating. We were sat at a table that had to be wiped down around us. My partners carbonara was like warm but meat burnt so sent back and therefore didn’t eat together. My lasagne luke warm but didn’t send back as bloody hungry. Use to be really good but wouldn’t recommend to your dog, considering this has cost circa £60 for 2. Go somewhere else as Richmond has better places to eat.

I went to pizza express to take away some dough balls before me and my son go to movies . So I popped in for take away. Me and my son were waiting by the door and 2 staff passed by a few times and even made eye contact but they all ignored us and didn’t come to serve us until I was shouting to one of the waitress and saying excuse me for a few times and then she came to us. I asked her why nobody here seems to receive customers and she said she was cleaning the table. Her attitude was she didn’t care at all. I asked is this the way you treat other customers or just me? And she asked me do you want to talk to my manager? That was her response. I talked to the manager and my 12 years old son was complimented how he handled the situation because earlier he went to the staff and asked for someone to come to us. The manager said sorry for the under trained staff. It was very bad experience even though all we asked for was just a take away order. I suggest to not go dine there. There are always a few people who have a bad attitude that makes other people look bad. I feel sorry for the people who work there with them.

Lovely service, coffee and cake. Plenty of seats and everywhere was clean and tidy. The shopping centre was a bit chilly.

If you want authentic Italian food in London this is the place everything is incredible the cocktails for their anniversary were too good - quality - price my favorite the tiramisu I even ordered to take away

We have been to almost every vapiano in Europe since 2018, it was one of our favorite places. Today we went to England for the first time. I had spaghetti bolognese and carbonara or bolognese. You looked for the ragout inside. It was like plain spaghetti with sauce. The spaghetti was overcooked. this bolognese was the best, but the spaghetti was overcooked and the sauce didn't have enough milk cream! There was a gentleman who filled the forks and knives, he did it without gloves and he replaced them from where we were eating, it didn't seem nice to me, but the staff was very nice and polite!

Such a cosy spot for a good family brunch with excellent, high quality food. Very baby friendly in terms of accommodating us with a suitable table with space and high chair. Will definitely returning, we had a great time! Thankyou to the lovely waitresses who were so kind and friendly.

I went for the 3 courses for £23.95 and was very pleased with my starter (mushrooms) and pizza. Alas the tiramisu, which I'd been really looking forward to, given it was an Italian restaurant, was awful - bordering on inedible. What ruined my experience was when the bill came - it wasn't £23.95, it was £30! The waiter explained the 3 courses wasn't 23.95, but £25.95 - the menus were all a little outdated ! There was a service charge on top which had brought the total up. I checked several Bella Italias after and all their adverts and menus have the same offer. I couldn't check what they were actually charging as the one in Shaftesbury Square insisted they were fully booked and couldn't squeeze me in - despite there being several empty tables when I asked and the same tables were empty 40 minutes later when I walked back past. A very disappointing experience overall.

Excellent service from Pedro, and very nice food and wine.
