Maida Vale has a relaxed, neighbourly vibe, so it’s no surprise to find Red Pepper here among the stuccoed houses and well tended gardens. With its buzzy, bistro feel, this restaurant has stood the test of time, serving Londoners good food since 1994 (a lifetime in restaurant terms). Many locals, some of them good cooks and cookery writers, regard Red Pepper as their home away from home. The authentic pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven, is just one reason diners keep coming back; another is the friendly welcome which greets them. Cosy and informal, Red Pepper invites you to enjoy delicious homemade pasta, grills, and fresh seafood from all over Italy including the forgotten regions of Sardinia and Campania.

    Lovely meal in this family Italian restaurant. We had a range of food from pizza to pasta and the special of the day. Service was at times patchy but we did get out of the restaurant in the time we needed and everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Very nice cosy restaurant. Simple but effective decor. Food outstanding. The wine was pricey but the waitress gave good advice. Definitely worth a trip to Warwick Avenue tube for this!

    Very tasty, nice atmosphere (we had a table outside on a pleasant little street), polite and friendly service. Maybe a little pricey for type of casual venue / portion size, but it's London so that's life. The tiramisu was the second best I've ever tasted!

    I have never had a dinner that was not exceptional at the Red Pepper. The food is consistently of the highest quality, prepared with expertise and imagination, and served by staff who are attentive but not pushy, genuinely friendly, and accommodating.

    We enjoyed the food and the service and we’ll go again but found the cost of wine a bit excessive
