Where to find the best Italian food in London
"Highbury Corner restaurant Trullo is a real gem, displaying with prominence the from-the-heart style of cooking that Italy is known for. In fact, you'll probably see the chef (glass of wine in hand) carefully dishing up plates of food at the open kitchen as you tuck into specialities including meat and fish from the charcoal grill and gutsy freshly-made pastas. Expect to pay around £10 for starters and £20 for mains."
"Sure, have beef shin pappardelle to break the fast — why not, go big. But for an easy start to the day that doesn’t require a table and cutlery, head to Trullo’s deli and shop, next door to the north London Italian restaurant. Snag one of the savoury pastries which are hearty enough for a breakfast and lunch combo."
"Homeslice’s City, White City, Shoreditch, Neal’s Yard, and Marylebone restaurants are currently offering delivery via a selection of third party apps. Moreover, the group has also launched ‘Take & Bake’ pizzas, available for delivery nationwide.

"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."
"Zizzi serves up fantastic pizza and pasta dishes, with sophisticated options for the mature palate right alongside kids’ favourites. That’s why it’s one of the most beloved family restaurants in Wembley Park – you’ll love their huge array of delicious choices. Zizzi offers a ton of different options for kids, including a ‘build your own’ pizza that they’ll love designing, and enjoy eating even more."
"Pizzas, pasta, starters and more, you can get your vegan Italian food fix from Zizzi. Indulge on delicious pasta, including Lentil Ragu or Spaghetti Pomodoro. If you fancy some pizza, we recommend their Rustica Jackfruit Italian hot, with jackfruit pepperoni and stacks of chillies and spicy harissa."
"Set amongst the bustle of the London Designer Outlet in Wembley Park, Zizzi restaurant offers simple Italian recipes made with passion. Whether it's pizza or pasta, salads or risotto, or carne and pesce (meat and fish), each dish is prepared with fresh…. Page 1 of 40|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|Next"
"This is the perfect Italian in Hampstead if you want a good wood-fired oven Pizza in a casual setting. Located just up the road from Hampstead Tube Station, this great if you are looking for child friendly restaurants in London. It is one of the good restaurants in Hampstead to visit with children as the atmosphere is relaxed and cosy inside."
"44 Old Compton St, Soho, London W1D 4TY Why should you care?. L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele has opened their second London restaurant in Soho - and you can expect the same huge (and hugely popular) Neapolitan pizzas from the original. Plus fried pizzas if carbs just aren't enough..."
"Brighton favourite Cin Cin has launched its first London outpost. The Italian bar and kitchen first opened in Brighton’s North Laine in 2016, founded by ex-lawyer David Toscano alongside head chef Jamie Halsall, whose CV includes the likes of Launceston Place and Roux Parliament Square. A second site followed in Hove in 2018."
"In a nutshell: Brighton Italian opens in London Where is it?. 21A Foley St, Fitzrovia, London W1W 6DS Why should you care?. The original Cin Cin Italian restaurant in Brighton has been a hit and also won a Michelin Bib Gourmand."
"Our first piece of advice about Lina Stores is to book ahead. Before walking inside we overheard the manager explain to two hopeful diners they’d have to wait 45 minutes for seats (and hearing them eagerly accept), giving the impression this was going to be a dining experience worth waiting for (which turned out to be true). The restaurant is split in two, the downstairs a dimly lit space where friends come together to share pasta plates and couples come to indulge before waddling home from the heart of Soho."
"Allow yourself to be transported to Italy without leaving London with Lina Stores’ al fresco terrace on Lewis Cubbit Square. The outdoor space in Kings Cross offers diners a seasonal menu focusing fresh pasta dishes such as maltagliati verdi with spring mushroom ragù and crab linguine with lemon, chilli and garlic. For those with a sweet tooth, you can also pick up an icy treat from their vintage Italian gelato cart."
"Led by head chef, Simone Remoli, who was born and raised in Rome, Pasta Remoli celebrates all things Italian and is certainly one of the best restaurants in Wembley. Centrally located in between Wembley Park Station and Wembley Stadium (and our apartment buildings), the pasta restaurant will become your local haunt for filling, home cooked food when you live in the area. The pasta is made fresh on the day with genuine Italian eggs and flour, while the sauces are all carefully curated with Italian ingredients and locally sourced produce."
"Head to Pasta Remoli for that much-deserved carb fix and indulge in their truly delicious pasta dishes. Not only does their DIY menu have an incredible range of veggie and vegan sauces, but is also packed with egg-free pasta and vegan gnocchi. For a veggie option, we recommend the truffle and mushroom ravioli in a butter and sage sauce."
"One of the best restaurants in Wembley, Pasta Remoli promises a delicious selection of homecooked pasta plates and moreish antipasti. Pick your shape, sauce and cheese topping at this fun interactive spot, and wash it down with wine's beers and aperitifs."
"Unit 1032, Lower Southern Terrace, Westfield White City, London W12 7GF Why should you care?. This is the second of Stevie Parle's fresh pasta bars, following the original in Soho. Expect affordable fresh pasta and this time they also have some cheesy soft serve."

"This magnificent neoclassical mansion stands at the northern end of Hampstead Heath in a glorious sweep of landscaped gardens that lead down to a picturesque lake. The 17th-century house was substantially remodelled in the 1760s and rescued from developers by Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, who donated it and the wonderful collection of art it contains to the nation in 1927. Among its treasures are paintings by Rembrandt (one of his many self-portraits), Constable, Gainsborough and Vermeer."
"This largely Palladian villa offers an escape to a gracious country house with a magnificent collection of Old Masters and beautiful…"
"If you only make time to visit a few museums during your London trip, The National Gallery should be at the top of your list. The gallery sits proudly overlooking Trafalgar Square and features an impressive collection with more than 2,300 pieces from the mid 1200s to 1900. It’s certainly one of the best free art museums in London, and a must see."
"One of London’s most iconic galleries takes centre stage in London’s most iconic square!. While The National Gallery houses one of the greatest collections of paintings in the world, this 200-year old building also stands as a work of art and piece of history itself."
