Top Best Italian Restaurants in Barnes Pond

"An unlikely London institution in an even more unlikely location, The River Cafe by Hammersmith riverside has been churning out simple, ingredient-focused dishes since 1987. At around £35 for most main courses, it doesn't come cheap, and we reckon there's much better value to be had elsewhere on this list. That said, some things are worth experiencing, and for a fan of Italian food in London The River Café is one of them: mark it down for a special occasion."

"Thames Wharf, Rainville Road, W6 9HA Only the River Café could have a wood-burning oven so white, so virginal, that it looks like a wedding cake. It's somehow fitting for a place whose USP is the very finest Italian produce married with genuine Italian cooking techniques in the kitchen, and a great sense of fun in the restaurant. The wonderful thing about the River Café is that it keeps on doing what it has always done: bringing you the best."

"Restaurants Italian Highbury. Canonbury’s star Italian has made the restaurant biz look like child’s play since day one by combining irresistible food with spot-on service and affordable prices. It’s home to some of London’s best pasta (its pappardelle with slow-cooked beef-shin ragù is a silky delight) and there’s brilliant stuff from the charcoal grill too, while a comprehensive all-Italian wine list emphasises Trullo’s calibre."

"A sleek, chic dining room in Islington sets the scene for Trullo’s unfussy Italian food. Dishes take the best of seasonal British produce and spin it into great antipasti, fantastic pastas, and secondi fresh from the charcoal grill. Skip the queues at Padella, the fresh pasta spot in Borough Market, and enjoy the signature beef shin pappardelle or pici cacio e pepe at a slower pace."

"If it’s pizza that the kids are craving then give Homeslice a try, rather than the big chains. There’s no special menu, but given that the enormous 20 inch pizzas arrive whole at the table for sharing, that’s not really a problem. Certain pizzas can be bought by the slice, too, which is perfect for those who aren't so fond of communal eating."

"Proving pizza can be just as delicious without the cheese is Homeslice, one of London’s best pizza joints. Plant-based options include a mushroom number with chilli flakes and a soy truffle glaze, plus the ‘Ndontja, topped with tenderstem broccoli, vegan mozzarella and vegan ‘Nduja.

"Neal’s Yard is a colorful alley in Covent Garden. It’s worth the quick visit just to take a photo. Just around the corner is Neal’s Yard Dairy, one of the best spots in the city to sample artisanal cheese."

"Overflowing, Jay Gatsby-style with champagne, sushi and sumptuous Italian dishes: Sumosan Twiga‘s Allegria brunch is an excellent excuse to ditch the home office for the streets of Knightsbridge. Like its sister restaurant in Monte Carlo, this energetic Sloane Street outpost offers a menu of exceptional Japanese food and traditional Italian cuisine with decadent, perfectly-balanced dishes like gyoza miso cod and prawn with chilli yuzu ponzu and al dente tagliatelle bolognese served at (Covid guideline-friendly) spaced tables. The real party begins as blinds are lowered and guests are entertained by a carnivalesque procession of dancers in glittering costumes, while DJs take over the decks to spin modern and classic favourites."

"The brunch offering at upmarket, Japanese-Italian party-restaurant Sumosan Twiga is certainly international. Every Saturday, between 1pm and 6pm, the restaurant’s ‘Allegria’ brunch (that’s ‘joy’ in Italian) sees dancers, international bands and DJs provide a backdrop to a £55-per-person, 10-dish tasting menu that includes tagliatelle bolognese and Japanese-style skewered chicken. Between the same time on Sundays, the ‘Marhaba’ brunch (meaning ‘welcome’ in Swahili) serves a similar Italian-Japanese menu but to a backdrop of African-influenced music."
