Enjoyable outdoor dinner on a warm night. Simple Italian menu, nothing dramatic, but overall pleasant food, well presented. Prices reasonable. Poretti beer on draught at exactly the right temperature was one highlight; the other was really good hospitable service, chatty and pleasant but not over friendly, from our waitress. Noise level buzzy but not loud.

Gola is hands-down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve visited in London. Tucked away in Fulham, this cosy spot offers an authentic Italian experience that’s hard to beat. The food is nothing short of amazing – every dish bursts with flavour, made with high-quality ingredients and a real passion for Italian cuisine. The wine list is equally impressive, with carefully curated selections that pair perfectly with the menu. What truly sets Gola apart, though, is the staff. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, they make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Whether you're after a romantic dinner, a special celebration, or just a fantastic meal, Gola delivers every time. Highly recommended

Paddington
Zonzo stands about halfway between Hyde and Regent’s parks, making it a great spot to rest after exploring London’s green spaces. Cozy and traditional, Zonzo offers a rustic ambiance with warm décor and the familiar crackle of wood-fired ovens in the corner of the restaurant. Diners can even watch as the chef prepares the pizzas, tossing the dough into the air and stretching it in the true Italian style. The Zonzo team prides themselves on looking after their guests at this top London Italian joint.

Melanzana

Battersea
Melanzana is on the ground floor of The Raven, which happens to be the oldest pub in Battersea. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with gentle music playing in a candle-lit dining area. This makes it the ideal spot for a romantic meal in London. Their pizzas are superb, with diners often impressed by the thin, crispy crusts and gluten-free options. For a real feel of Italy and some great pizza, Melanzana is the date-night choice for many Londoners.

TOZI Victoria

£26 to £40

Victoria
Show lovers need to check out the pre-theater dining menu at TOZI, located just minutes away from top London venues like the famous Apollo. The Pizzetta is the first choice of pizza fans, with juicy tomatoes and spicy salami. The standard menu has plenty of pizza options with some unique flavors too, like spinach with black truffle pesto. A surprising taste of authentic Italy in the midst of urban London.
