One of my favourite restaurants in London. It’s classic Chelsea with a Tuscan tradition that is - and feels - genuine. We are greeted with a smile, taken to a table even without a booking and from then everything goes well, great service, nice table, nice traditionnal decor with pictures of the “Family” hung on the white walls all in white and blue tones, and fantastic food. The menu is classic Italian Trattoria (no pizza) with strong influence from Tuscany: great pasta (I recommend the wild boar pappardelle), meat (rabbit is great) and fish (sea bass). This is a wonderful place for a family lunch over the weekend, particularly if you have young children - they will be very welcome and feel at home. In the summer they have a great terrasse at the back which feels like being… away in the South. Not exactly cheap but fair for the food and location (lunch for 2 plus 2 children was £100). Good for a romantic evening or a dinner with another couple of friends too.

Best Italian in town I love it.
Great with kids, great for a romantic meal. Fab staff

Lovely family run italian restaurant.

Starter, main course, dessert, wine = £40

Probably one of my favourite Italians in Chelsea/Kensington; wonderful traditional food, mostly from Tuscany.
Pasta is usually divine, and La Famiglia does a fantastic rabbit. If it is on the menu, go for it.
Also try the risotto, and the heart-warming soups. Best go with a large group of people - so you can taste as many dishes as possible.
Leave room for desert if you can. Only one word of caution: can get a bit expensive.
Book - it does get quite busy. It is also a favourite with a number of celebrities.

A West London institution, renowned for many years as providing great traditional Italian food. Based on the classic trattoria approach, the menu is positively brimming with virtuallly every type of Italian dish - be it Antipasti, Primi, Secondi or Dolci courses. In fact my one criticism is there's too much choice - the menu is too crowded. Anyway, being based in Chelsea its invariably a bit pricey, but not too much. Panzanella Salad, Risotto, Seabass, Mackerel & Lamb dishes all come well recommended. Plus joy of joys they have a sweet trolley!! Service is attentive and the staff are friendly too,
