"Also owned by the Villa Bianca Group is Piccola Ristorante Pizzeria Napoletana in Hampstead. This Hampstead Italian restaurant still offers a nice dining experience but it is slightly more casual compared to the actual Villa Bianca restaurant as it has more of a traditional Italian Pizzeria feel to it. Well located on Heath Street just 1 minute from Hampstead Tube Station Piccola Ristorante Hampstead offers a large selection of Pizzas as you would expect, as well as Pasta dishes and many other delicious and fresh dishes so add this on your list of Italian Restaurants in Hampstead to visit!"
