The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

a disappointing experience. given the instructions that I can find the best ragu here, it was not even close to my expectations as a chef. I took a portion for two people. the meat ball was tasteless, a pork sausage too small for one person, the bread very hard (I think it was very old), insufficient taste in the sauce. I would not return to this restaurant.

Came to the markets just to find Panzerotto Blues and it was so good I had to have seconds! Definitely recommend. Tasty, quick and friendly service

Ice cream was of very good quality and was proper gelato. Lots of people serving so queue moved fairly quickly. Was quite hard to find as it’s covered in scaffolding. Only downside was that there is only one table to sit and eat at and it was already full

Always excellent pizza here. Never gone wrong, with a great range. Cooked to perfection and much healthiertga the usual take away venues.

Had a really lovely dinner here, food was great and service was friendly. Would definitely recommend and already planning on visiting again!

What a lovely place - I received a warm welcome and was told about the special. Just a few tables outside on the pavement and I sat out and had a delicious meal, the Amatriciana was cooked to order and wow, perfection. The staff are all genuinely friendly and help greedy confused people like me to choose. I hope to be back regularly 👌

So much more than just a high street cafe. I had the best home made vegan ice cream ever in there today. It is a proud authentic Italian family run business with a diverse menu and Antonella makes the majority of the items on the menu from scratch. Myself and my friend also had the most amazing vegan breakfast with extremely generous portion sizes which was reasonably priced. Definitely will be back. Xx

It's always a pleasure to go the Lemans. The staff are friendly flexible and fun to talk to. Oh....and the foods good too! I'd highly recommend a trip to Leman's its worth going just to meet the team!

This is amazing tasty, healthy, cosy and not too expensive place with very hospitality staff and just at the nice and easy to find area in the center of London!

This was by far one of the best pizzas I've had in London, maybe ever! I drove down from Croydon after being shown the great reviews. Really lovely tomato sauce, great blend of herbs and amazing cheese. I ordered the Buffalina, and highly recommend it! Owing to lockdown it was a takeaway, and put it back in oven when I got home and it was just divine! Will be going back soon. 🤤

Great place to take the family, be with friends or go on a date! Lovely relaxed atmosphere, had a lovely friendly waitress. Food was all amazing and lots of it! Highly recommend.

Came in for a quick lunch before heading to the museum. Cozy place with amazing homely food! Will be coming back whenever we are in the area.

The Italians that run this cafe are so lovely. The manager helped me with my baby and they were so quick to get me anything I wanted. Nice sofa in the window too!

So pleased this little restaurant has reopened. We were made very welcome and had a lovely meal. We had a prawn risotto and lasagne, both delicious and we then shared a tirimasu. Portions are generous with some nice complimentary additions of breadsticks, homemade pesto and cute little homemade ice creams when we asked for the bill. Cosy place with a small menu offering traditional food which is tasty and well presented. A choice of red, white or rose wine (italian and very drinkable) beer or soft drinks to accompany your food. Prices are very reasonable and the family are welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit and will return again.

Always a warm welcome from the amazing Ombretta & Ante. It feels less of a bar and more like an extension of home, with friends!
