Summary
Ex-Zafferano head chef, Andy Needham’s “fab and friendly neighbourhood Italian” near Ravenscourt Park station reopened in spring 2022 after a catalogue of disasters (pandemic, floods, dodgy construction upstairs...) – much to the relief of its many fans. There’s “always well-prepared food and a warm reception”. Top Menu Tips – “lovely risottos and the ragu”.
Summary
“The Chiswick High Road is not exactly a destination, but L’Amorosa is”. Andy Needham’s “superb neighbourhood Italian”, near Ravenscourt Park, is particularly known for its pasta and offers “great value for the quality of cooking”. Apparently, water damage through the roof in September 2020 added insult to injury during the pandemic, but a reopening in autumn 2021 is promised, complete with a full refurb. We have rated it on the basis of plus ça change…
