Best Authentic Restaurants in Kennington

An interesting, tiny, restaurant. Was looking for somewhere highly rated near the London Eye. I would say booking is a must but the food is more than worth it. Absolutely fantastic food, large servings, at a very reasonable price, less than £80 with drinks for 4 people.

A Hidden Gem of Authentic Italian Cuisine A Must visit for Food and Wine Lovers From the moment you step inside, you're transported straight to Italy. This charming restaurant blends rustic elegance with warm, welcoming vibes, making it perfect for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. The ambiance feels genuinely Italian tasteful, cozy, and never overdone. The truffle pasta is a highlight: rich, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. The fresh pasta is cooked al dente and coated in a luxurious sauce that lets the truffle shine. Their selection of tartare is equally impressive, with standout versions of beef, tuna, and veal all fresh, delicately seasoned, and beautifully plated. The wine list is a dream for oenophiles, showcasing a thoughtful collection of Italy’s most iconic bottles Barolo, Brunello, Chianti, and more. The sommelier was helpful and clearly passionate, offering perfect pairings throughout the meal. Service was top-notch: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. From start to finish, every detail felt intentional and well-executed. Whether you're an Italian food purist or just in search of a great night out, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommended for: Truffle lovers, wine enthusiasts, romantic dinners, and anyone who appreciates top tier Italian cuisine.

Amazing lunch in a beautiful restaurant. Will definitely be back when we are next in London

Laura is the best! Food is amazing. Authentic and a neighborhood gem!

Good choice of stalls to keep our whole group (including kids) happy. The service varied between stalls, some vendors slower to interact than others. Food was good overall. Yorkshire burritos were very filling. Food from StrEAT was interesting, and some dishes could've had more seasoning/sauces/herbs. A fun experience.
