The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

The food was just OK , the waitress was very rude. Went with a friend and my two grand daughters, both girls very well behaved. The waitress seemed to be concerned about them, might have had a bad previous experience with kids before, I do not know… but it was enough for my grand daughter to stand up from her seat for her to get dismissive and asked her to sit down. She was just standing up by own table. It really made us feel very uncomfortable and we will certainly not come back.

Cozy coffee shop with tasty pastry. Very friendly staff.

Good food at a reasonable price.

Pequeño lugar encantador con un servicio muy amable. Habíamos reservado para 7 personas a las 6. 30 pero tuvo que volver a situarlo en 7 : 30 como algunos de nosotros estábamos llegando tarde. No hubo ningún problema en absoluto y fueron muy útiles en la reorganización. Mi entrante de bruschetta mixta era delicioso y había un montón de ella! Mi plato principal de lubina era excelente. Recomiendo.

Super Cute Spot! Kids Menu was great too - we left very happy indeed! Always support independents! ❤️

Lume Primrose Hill: “The Wine Bar that Goes Wrong” If you enjoyed the play or are amused by the concept, and are looking for similar real life entertainment, I have the perfect wine bar recommendation for you. If you’re after a relaxed evening wine, good food, attentive yet unintrusive service, a welcoming ambiance and the perfect environment to meet friends, Lume in Primrose Hill is absolutely not for you. Avoid. The ‘plot’ for The Wine Bar that Goes Wrong, speaks for itself. No attention to the entrance waiting area leaves customers waiting 5 minutes to be acknowledged. A standard “How are you?” greeting to our reluctant waiter met with “Alive” as a response. Perhaps ironically an instant mood killer. No booking in a half full setting met with “Probably not” before we are then seated. 10 minutes to get wine and food menus. After an extraordinary amount of time, managed to ‘hail’ a waiter to order only for him to be called off mid order to another table. Tried to order wine from one of the two waiters in the wine bar only to be told they could not as the other waiter took wine orders. Tried to order food from one of the two waiters in the wine bar only to be told they could not as the other waiter took the food orders. Finally get served wine after 30 minutes. Finally order food only to be told we had been given the wrong food menu so needed to reconsider. Finally ordered three starters / small plates from the now correct menu only to be told some while later there was only one portion left of the two we wanted. Ordered the one. Asked an hour later where the order was only to be told the chef was confused and thought we’d cancelled the order as we only wanted the one portion left having previously ordered two. Finished the wine before the late late confused starter arrived. We were asked if we wanted another bottle to go with our 90 minute late starter. But were also told they had run out of the Gavi we were drinking. All delivered by staff who clearly did not want to be there. And that’s the plot twist. A winebar / restaurant, with no wine, no food, no service and entirely inhospitable. For balance, the menu was well thought out albeit dishes unavailable and the wine list comprehensive and interesting even if only for interest as our wine choice was also unavailable. This was supposed to be a pre dinner drink and canapé ahead of a dinner reservation at Lemonia. Instead it was an ordeal that outlasted our subsequent restaurant booking leaving the three of us hungry, thirsty, and thoroughly unentertained. Enjoy the show!

Realmente me gustaría felicitarme por el excelente tiempo que pasé en The Franklin London. Todo está curado profundamente en los detalles, el personal es amable y extremadamente amable educado y servicial. El restaurante es uno de los mejores que he atado en los hoteles de Londres y es un verdadero italiano (soy italiano y aprecio plenamente todas las elecciones que hice). Una felicitación masiva a Stefania que me dio un montón de grandes sugerencias mientras elegía los platos, ella es muy agradable y bien preparado, ella escuchó cuidadosamente mis gustos y me compró a las elecciones correctas. Seguro que volveré otra vez. ¡Muchas muchas gracias!

So long Bruno! thank you for your 25 years of excellent food and service...good luck! Excellent coffee very hot with an extra shot made to perfection (far better than surrounding cafes that refuse to make them extra hot) and italian biscuits and delicious pastas with service with a smile. Bruno is so friendly and neighborly and I have been going there for 20 years. I am a big fan...

I really wanted to like this place but was way over charged for a simple takeaway lunch . Pasta lacked seasoning and very little protein was added. Taste wasn’t good either.

Lovey local cafe great for eggs on toast and a cup of tea before a meeting. Brought to your table and no queuing up

One of the most amazing beefburgers I have ever had - and service was very friendly. We are always very well looked after in there

Closest to Italy you can get!! Excellent pizza, warm and welcoming service. was great!

I’ve been coming here for over 20 years - with the family - that’s a hell of a lot of pizzas! It’s had changes in management, new paint/decor and the food has remained consistently delicious. The team are lovely. It’s my favourite place to go - I would live in if I could…….Bravo! One thing I would change if I could ? - the TV turn it off, play some sounds. Grazie mille

Delicious food, incredible rich taste, freshly prepared literally melts in your mouth. Variaty of choice from food to drinks for all ages.

Nice place for good Italian food.
