The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

Reservamos esto para una puesta al día con amigos y tuvimos un tiempo encantador. Las porciones son quizás un poco más pequeñas, pero esto te da espacio para comer los postres, que son increíbles. El servicio era amable y relajado - también a diferencia de tantos lugares en Londres, fuimos capaces de mantener nuestra mesa durante más de 3 horas - esto era un verdadero placer para no ser apresurado o molestado. La carta de vinos era genial también.

Heerlijk eten, vriendelijke en behulpzame medewerkers, schone omgeving. Niks op aan te merken dus en zeker de moeite waard.

Amazing coffee and homemade lemon &almond tart! Amazing place with a great atmosphere and music👌 You may feel like in your Italian grandparents house by so lovely 😍 I heard that pizza here is one of the best 👌 Owner is from Sardine 👌🙂

This is probably the best Italian food I’ve ever had! I’ve been to many Italian restaurants around the world, including in Italy, and this one is the best. Located in Belgravia it’s definitely worth the trip. Yes it's a little expensive, but I think you get what you pay for, and the high-quality, fresh food is worth it. The service was excellent, making the experience even better. I highly recommend it!

Delicious orange lemonade and ham and cheese pediona (I’m probably misspelling it- but it was a lovely flat Italian bread). Affordable and a good pit stop.

Just had a really good lunch. Food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The lunch menu was very good value for money

Cozy restaurant with good food right next to the Sky Garden, for sure worth a visit. Huge thanks to Jordon for offering a great service and making the visit really pleasant!

First question- would you like some water? Yes please - expected a jug of tap water - no bottled water (£5) A 250 ml glass of House Wine was £11 The Veal was £17.50 but chips and salad were all extra. Portions were small The Salad looked like it came out of a bag from Sainsburys. £5 for a coke Zero By the time we paid service charge our Bill was £80. We know it's London but felt ripped off.

Service was good and friendly, nice quiet lunchtime atmosphere with good food and wine. We were Unhurried whilst staff were attentive A little limited for the menu but nice specials. Loved the king prawns.

"Bella Costa – a piece of Italy in the heart of London. I had dinner there with my family, and each of us was absolutely delighted. Pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend visiting!"

Well I visited this restaurant for the first time with my Italian partner and tell you what it was a HIT! My partner is from Sicily and very hard to please, to say the least doesn't like any Italian restaurant soo much in London. This Place made her happy. She says 'real Italian is this'! Fantastic service, the waiter was amazing, food nicely presented and great aura about the place. There is a good variety of dishes from Italy and their specials on the board were appealing. In fact I will have to visit again as she really want to eat everything ;) Also it was good on my pocket.

Well, that was fun! Incredible staff, food and depth of wine list. Thank you so much!

Excellent and we enjoyed especially the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, the service and attention were great and coming from Italy we can confirm the authenticity of the food.

This was one of the more bizarre visits I have had to a restaurant in many years. Spectacularly diabolical!!! The waiter was nice enough but they were out of half of the already tiny list of dishes on offer. It was like “spam, spam or parmigian”! My mate got some gnocchi straight from the supermarket with some cheese only food stamps would buy (the waiter was nice enough to refund this inedible effort). My order of vitello alla Milanese with patate arroste was a big flat lump of breaded meat from a packet complete with... oven chips!! The whole time we had to listen to some bizarre argument in Spanish and Italian between the cook and the waiter. The subject seemed to be how much the former was being paid- he’s been very fortunate to have ever been paid, from what I can see!!

An absolute shocker of an experience. The carbonara arrived completely stuck together, like it had been cooked hours ago and just left to dry out. The service was just as bad – the waiters couldn't have been less interested, even saying they were too busy to bother with us. The whole place feels like a rundown, old-school Italian trattoria from the '80s, but without any of the charm. The quality of the food was seriously lacking, everything tasted stale and poorly made. And don't even get me started on the cacio e pepe – I literally saw them drop it on the kitchen floor, and they just picked it up with their hands and thought I'd eat it. When I brought this up with the manager, he actually told me, 'If you don't like it, there's the door. We're always packed anyway.' Great attitude, mate, really top management skills. They even brag about being owned by some Italian actor. Well, stick to acting, mate – the restaurant business clearly ain't your thing. Definitely one to avoid
