The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

We came here as this was recommended as the place to go for great pasta… unfortunately the filled pasta I had was undercooked. I enjoy al dente but the inside was raw and difficult to cut with a knife however the dish itself was tasty so I would be willing to give the restaurant another go. The menu had a great selection of pasta, maybe I’ll try a traditional carbonara next time… The staff were friendly and the decor pleasant.

Nos encantó este restaurante. Vinimos aquí para la cena de cumpleaños de mi hija, así que éramos un grupo grande con adultos y dos niños. El restaurante es lindo y tranquilo y nos sentamos en la zona del jardín. La comida era increíble - compartimos un montón de aperitivos de la focaccia al atún y luego todo el mundo amaba su principal. El vino también era genial. Mientras la comida era de primera, el ambiente era simplemente cálido y el camarero estaba haciendo bromas con todos incluyendo a nuestra hija “la reina” : ) . Mientras vinimos como un grupo, mi marido y yo planeamos volver para una noche de citas.

We had lunch here on a Thursday, it was surprisingly busy but that's because the food and service are so good. Would definitely recommend.

1-Dec-22: Visited as a party of 4 on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was busy and buzzy and waiting staff were friendly. Food was OK, nothing special but nothing bad. My carbonara served from the parmesan wheel was a bit of fun.

They have best croissant and coffee was good

Lots of people on a Sunday so reservation is recommended. Lasagne sauce is so yummy. Pizza crust is crunchy😉

Can’t get this lovely place to reply to me either by phone or email, I really wanted to reserve a table, what a shame.

We had a great birthday lunch at the restaurant. A cozy restaurant with authentic Italian ambience. Pleasant music and nice decor. An attentive waiter and delicious food. The chicken for the main course was absolutely delicious. So was the Tiramisu dessert.

La boloñesa de espagueti sabía como una comida lista que obtendrías de asda y la ensalada Ceser de pollo era absolutamente horrible que tenían un servicio increíble, pero la comida no era ella.

Nice place, slow service. Half the menu unavailable so we didn't stay for food.

The host is lovely. Very warm and welcoming. However our server forgot to bring our garlic bread out before our pizzas so comped that and both myself and my friends pizzas had too much sauce on so we're very wet and sloppy. It's a shame as had a lovely salad there previously. Def better pizza places in Teddington.

If this place was in central London it would be fully booked 7 nights a week

Vera cucina italiana! Sono stato due sere di fila in questo ristorante tra Buckingham Palace e Victoria Station La seconda sera sono tornato perché gli spaghetti al ragù sono veramente buoni! Il pane è il nostro! Fresco e croccante, giusto per fare scarpetta e anche la caprese e la mousse al cioccolato sono all’italiana! Buoni nella loro semplicità! Parlano gli ingredienti Se proprio devo trovare un pelo nell’uovo, il vino bianco al calice non è bello ghiacciato (ma è una nota secondaria) Conto non base ma le porzioni sono abbondanti, gli spaghetti sono un pasto completo con pane e ragù Complimenti, sarà metà fissa quando a Londra vorrò mangiare come a casa 😃

A group of 8 of us had booked for 7pm on a Friday night. As we arrived in the dingy, dirty looking dining room we were barely acknowledged. The young, oblivious (and I assume very cheap) waiting staff were painfully slow and unobservant, and we had to chase them to take a drinks order. We then waited 20 minutes for said drinks, only for half of our order to be missing. We were seated right in front of the bar, and there were only a couple of other occupied tables. We asked if we could place our food order, only for the waitress to rudely gesture for us to wait while she took the orders of two other tables that had arrived after us. It was now 8pm, and after an hour of waiting politely we had seen enough. We asked for the bill and at this point one of the more senior waiters asked if he could take our order, but we couldn't wait to leave. (So we did, and had a delicious meal at Crystal, the excellent Persian restaurant just across the road from Bagatti's) I cannot comment on the food here as we didn't get to try it, but based on first impressions, the state of the restaurant and the appalling service, I can't imagine it's up to much. Bagatti's has been a Croydon landmark for many years, but it sadly appears to be a shadow of its former self.

We ordered the cheesy garlic bread and it was fantastic, over cooked so it’s fresh and we order here every week!
