The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

We visited for a quick lunch today. The visit was lovely - food was delicious, ambience relaxed and welcoming and the service was absolutely exemplary, the staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

Rarely give 5 stars but this place 100% deserves it. Been twice and both time it was phenomenal, better then a lot of the Italians in town. P.S - Get the prawns to start

Visited here whilst staying nearby for the weekend. We had a tastecard so had 2 4 1 on all courses. The restaurant was very quiet on arrival (bank holiday Sunday evening) and remained so during the evening. The food was excellent (we had starters and mains each) and came in good time. The service was at times a little slow as it appeared a stock take was going on at the time. We were too full for dessert this time. Loved up to the Bella Italia brand well.

Good food and great wines by the glass

I was delighted with my first visit to Purezza - a huge all-vegan pizzeria in London. The food was amazing (I had the 'meatballs' and mini mac'n'cheese, and a taste of my dining companions' pizzas) and our waitress Natasha was extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend you go and can't wait for my next visit!

This restaurant felt like a lovely and authentic italian restaurant. The staff were attentive with fast service, plus the food was delicious !!

A lovely Italian restaurant! There’s a good selection of different dishes, including vegetarian options at really good prices. We ordered pizzas and desserts - tiramisu, lemon sorbet and panna cotta. All of the food was absolutely delicious beyond our expectations! The service was amazing as well. Would highly recommend and will be coming back!

we had been at an event in Tavistock Square and spotted this across the road as we walked along. WE liked that it was independent and the menu looked good. We were not disappointed. The food was freshly cooked but we did not need to wait long, service was friendly and prices reasonable. One of us had deep fried calamari and the other a delicious chicken casserole. There as a tempting choice of desserts from the trolley and we chose apple pie.

ITALIAN HEAVEN! Absolutely love the variety of Italian foods and drinks. EVERYTHING is here! Good prices and a really nice vibrant atmosphere; feels like I'm in Italy!

Went for lunch recently with a friend. Excellent meal . Lovely atmosphere. We were made very welcome by Vito. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Ate here while on a short trip in London. Food was of a decent standard and the upstairs surroundings pleasant. HOWEVER if they try to seat you in the basement, refuse. We were put there because it was busy. It is a souless pit. The floor is uneven so your tables constantly wobble. The music revererates around the walls and being away from the main part of the restaurant, the service is far less attentive. Worst of all, it stinks of paint. I assume this is a recent thing and hopefully temporary. Whoever decorated it has done an ambush makeover, even painting over the light-switches and sockets. A few items of cheap tat were arranged in an attempt to look rustic. It felt like a pop up restaurant challenge from The Apprentice. The paint fumes genuinely made me feel dizzy and the area is poorly ventilated. I had concerns about my young son who was with me (the restaurant also does not have a childrens menu and refused to do child portions). I asked to move a second time and did eventually get a seat upstairs thankfully. They need to wait till the paint fumes are gone or else someone is going to faint down there.

After having waited to go for so long, I was a bit disappointed with the food. It is all very good but pretty much aligned with every other Italian restaurant. Still a shame if it closes - the atmosphere is great

Måske den bedste pizza jeg nogensinde har smagt. Oveni er stedet hyggeligt, autentisk og personalet lige tilpas. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ótima experiência de cozinha italiana em Londres. O prato que leva o nome da casa é simplesmente divino! Sobremesa e vinho também ótimos! Super indico!

Maravillosa selección de sabores creada en forma de rosa de tamaño mediano 🌹. Tenían sabores de chocolate, frambuesa, fresa, mango, etc. Lo único es que no aceptan efectivo. Prepárate para pagar con tarjeta.
