“ Food was amazing and the homemade cheesecake out of this world. Expresso martini hit the spot ”
“ Very good pizza. I would've given another star if didn't have to cut the slices myself. ”
“ My son found this on yelp. Best pizza ever! And the tiramisu was top-notch. Also the servers were sweet and helpful. The perfect place for out first two hours in London. We want to go back and try more pizza! Definitely try this place, you won't regret it!!! ”
“ Incredible pizza. Some of the best dough I have had in the world between Italy, California, East Coast USA, South America, Australia. There is something unique and special going on with the the slow rise bread in London - and San Gennaro has capitalized on it and applied all of the Napoletano pizza traditions to it. This is not "mangia cake" pizza. If you're not Canadian-Italian and not familiar with that term - look it up. This pizza is for real. These are southern Italian immigrants in London and they are using the very best ingredients to craft an absolute stunning pizza. Keep in mind, I immediately left London for Calabria where I had to begrudgingly tell my relatives and local pizza spot who I normally adore - that I have a new favorite pizza place ...... in England. ”
“ Great pasta! The pizza looked incredible too. The staff were friendly. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice chilled evening. ”
“ Wow! Awesome authentic Italian food. And you don't have to travel all the way to Italy. The owners have come to London instead! We had the eggplant -" parmigiana do Melanzane, bread with olives and the delicious, fresh rocket salad with arugula. My wife had the linguine allo scoglio, linguine with mussels, clams, calamari and shrimp in a tasty, salty sauce to die for. ( if you get this make sure you save bread to dip in and savor the sauce. Very fresh seafood. I had the margherita pizza which was simply a culinary pleasure. For dessert we split the Best Ever Tiramisu, with rich delicious coffee. This place is gastric greatness . So authentic all the wines and beer are Italian as well! I didn't get to talk about the great service and attention to detail as well. They finished the service with complimentary limoncello.. great finish to a great meal! ”
“ What a wonderful, quaint, little, and cozy find. The warmth of the restaurant is immediately felt with the red interior and old time large photo murals. The menu is full of pizza's and a few mains. They didn't have any specials on offer when we were in. We ordered an appetizer of olives, garlic bread and Prosciutto di Parma e Bufala. Our mains were scallop pasta, an orecchiette pasta dish and a fresh mixed salad. Olives were nice, but my word, the garlic bread was nothing we expected. When it arrived, we had thought our waiter has brought us a pizza out by mistake. It was actually the garlic bread, served as a pizza with a slight smear of tomato sauce on top. Delicious. The prosciutto and mozzarella was spot on. Bufala was moist not wet and with a little bit of pepper pepped it right up. They have some chili oil on the table which also went well. Our mains were also full of flavor and well cooked. I thought the scallops were properly seasoned and a good amount for the pasta dish. The service was prompt, polite and very friendly. What was pretty obvious and pleasantly appealing is hearing Italian being spoken through out the restaurant by the folks working there. Made the whole experience perfect. ”
“ Amazing local Italian joint. If you're into authentic Italian, this is the place to go. I ordered the Diavolo pizza and it was divine. The dough was perfectly executed. It's flavorful with the right amazing of softness and chewiness. I also ordered the crab ravioli. Amazing! They used real crab, which you can taste in every bite. The homemade marinara sauce that they used was delicious. The tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had. If you're in the area, I highly recommend coming here! ”
“ Nice small family run Italian with good quality food. The layout means it's a little up and down but it ensures you don't get that large restaurant feel reminiscent of a dining hall. I have eaten here every few months for a few years now and never had a meal I was not completely satisfied with. Yes the staff can seem a little inexperienced but if you appreciate cute young Italian waitresses you are likely to become a regular. Worth a detour to. ”
