Top Best Italian Restaurants in West Drayton

"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."

"I thought of who I would share it with, what I would wear, the endless photographs, and which song I would want played. If you think I’m talking about my wedding, you are sadly mistaken. I’m talking about the magical day where I could finally eat River Café’s signature Chocolate Nemesis dessert at home."

"Where: Thames Wharf, Rainville Rd, Hammersmith, London W6 9HA. As long as you don't think about the bill, sitting out on the banks of the Thames enjoying the super Italian food here really is a case of 'life doesn't get much better than this'."

"Steeped in fine Italian traditions, Trullo will make you forget you’re in North London and think you’ve been whisked away to Italy. It’s well-known for its delicious pasta dishes and is easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Islington. The settings are light and bright, providing the perfect spot to dine in, whether you’re enjoying a lite lunch or heading there for dinner with a date."

"Padella is truly one of London’s greatest gems, but it’s also hard to grab a seat at the best of times. If you want the same exceptional pasta, but with the ability to book a table in advance for a date, sibling restaurant Trullo is for you. The cavernous basement is deeply romantic, the upstairs feels light and familial and the food is universally spectacular."

"Bella Italia are an Italian restaurant chain that also offer a Bottomless Pizza Brunch – bottomless pizza, combined with bottomless Prosecco – what’s not to love?. Find out all the info here. They also do a surprisingly good value cooked breakfast."

"At Bella Italia we have something for everyone, which is why we have a large range and variety of gluten-free options available. Ask your server for a main menu to see prices. Unit 11A Oracle, Reading, RG1 2AT"

"Restaurants Italian Chelsea. There’s a lot of competition on the doorstep, but seasoned chef Stefano Stecca knows the score and his latest venture serves up exactly what the residents of SW10 expect from a modern neighbourhood Italian. Airy blue-and-white interiors set the scene for confident, unfussy cooking: porcini risotto, melt-in-the-mouth beef ragù, cod with lentils and a winning version of cannoli filled with pistachio cream."

"When it comes to authentic Italian gelato, Prime Gelato is the real deal. Smooth, flavourful and with just the right amount of sweetness, this is gourmet gelato at its best. Exceptional quality and velvety textures come together to produce real gelato that keeps Italians and Londoners alike coming back."

"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."

"18 Brewer St, Soho, London W1F 0SHLina Stores, the Italian deli and Soho institution on Brewer Street, has now opened a restaurant on Greek street. Behind the bright, eu-de-nil facade is a buzzy two-floor haven for pasta-lovers, with exposed whitewashed walls and chic, tile-backed banquettes. The focus is (of course) on pasta, though they also serve up some impressive antipasti, and best of all, encourage you to order several plates to share."

"Day 1: Arrive in London, Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour, the London EyeDay 2: Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Whitehall, Covent GardenDay 3: Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Borough Market, Tate Modern, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Sky GardenDay 4: National Gallery, Greenwich, Prime Meridian, Up at the O2Day 5: British Museum, Portobello Road Market, Victoria and Albert Museum, Harrod’s"

"Borough Market is my second personal favourite, since it used to be right next to my office and I used to go there quite often for lunch. I still pay it a visit every now and then even after quitting my corporate job. Borough Market is also a regular market where you can do your grocery shopping, since there are lots of stalls that sell fresh vegetables, fish or meat."

"Borough Market is one of the London’s most popular food markets consisting of more than 100 stalls and stands. Quick Tip: Pick up fresh produce, bread and cheese to have a delicious picnic or make a meal if your accommodations have a kitchen. Hot meals for take-away are also available."

"London's Dulwich Picture Gallery is the oldest public art gallery in the country, opening its doors in 1817. The gallery was designed by architect Sir John Soane and is a Grade II listing on England's National Heritage List for its design. Today, the Dulwich Picture Gallery has one of England's best collections of Old Masters."

"The remains of an ancient royal hunting forest, this park stretches for some 5,000 acres south of Windsor Castle. Much of it is open…"

"I may be biased because I live very near here but I believe beautiful Kew is the best area to stay in London and Kew Gardens is one of the best attractions here. Kew Gardens are 121 hectares of beautiful gardens and botanical glasshouses located between Richmond and Kew (in southwest London). The gardens are on a mission not only to be beautiful (which they are) but to contribute to research and nurturing of the plant kingdom."

"Ok, it’s not technically a park, but it most definitely is one of London’s foremost green spaces. Speaking of technicalities, its proper title is actually Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, but when did anyone last call it that?. However you refer to it, Kew is a glorious day out, and with 300 acres and 50,000 plants, you could go every week of the year and discover something new every time."

"So-called 'dirty ice-cream' is actually a term of endearment used to describe the homemade ice-cream you'll find on the streets of Manila. Expect to find quite different flavours to what you might be used to - their signature is Ube - a purple-hued ice-cream made with Filipino purple yam - but they also serve up a salty queso flavour and a vegan guyabano sorbet. Delivery: via their online shop"

"Mamason’s Dirty Ice Cream is a Filipino ice cream parlour that does SUCH GOOD STUFF. The BEST thing to get here is the Bilog, which is a traditional Filipino milk bun, with ice cream inside, and then it’s toasted. It’s essentially a hot ice cream sandwich. Their signature ice cream flavour is the Ube (pronounced oo-bae), made with native Filipino purple yam, and it’s FREAKING GOOD people!!"

"Omar Shah and Florence Mae Magnaloc’s Mamasons is packaging up its range of Filipino-influenced ice creams for delivery and is open for takeaways, with ube, milo, and calamansi among the flavours. Expect bilog, the pandesal ice cream sandwich, to go quickly, with the Chinatown branch open from 12 p.m."

"The team at the Belle Époque Patisserie use only the finest ingredients to ensure that each of their seasonal collections surpasses the last. The cakes are intricate, artistic and essentially deserve the status as works of art. They’re as wondrous to look at as they are to eat."

"Possibly the original Instagram cafe, this place has become Insta-famous, renowned for its epic floral displays and fabulous cupcakes. The popularity of Peggy Porschen has even led to them opening a second cafe on King’s Road in Chelsea. Not only is this adorable pink cafe absolute Instagram heaven, Peggy Porschen cakes and coffee are also delicious."

"With its picture-perfect pink flower façade, this might just be the prettiest bakery in London. Elton John, Madonna and Kate Moss are all fans, and for good reason. On its website Peggy Porschen describes its cakes as ‘edible works of art’ – which is true, but more importantly they taste delicious."

"Can there be anything lovelier, on a sunny summer's day, than sitting at a pavement table outside Peggy Porschen's pretty pink and white parlour on Ebury Street, with a classic red-velvet cupcake in one hand and a glass of chilled champagne in the other?"
