Chiswick, Italian Restaurant Guide

2022 Review: A “lovely local” near Turnham Green, this “family-owned Italian” is “tiny but with terrific food and atmosphere”. There’s a good range of pizzas but the Puglian dishes are what makes it special.

“Boasting handmade pasta every day” – this Chiswick yearling takes on the attractive if slightly cramped site off the high street that was formerly Michael Nadra (RIP) and offers “an elevation of traditional pasta dishes”. Fans say its “homemade sauces and dishes are outstanding” and the worst criticism it attracted is hardly damning: “not bad, just not amazing; nice plating but it’s still just a nice plate of pasta”. Top Menu Tip – very affordable weekday set lunch (from one course for £12 to three for £20).

2024 Review: “Lovely fresh seafood” and “excellent pasta dishes” – everything “brimming with flavour” – have won an enthusiastic welcome for this “new Italian run by a very experienced team” in Turnham Green. Founders Ben and Michael have worked together for more than 20 years, running an independent restaurant in Italy and in five-star hotels.
