Tasty food, good value and friendly staff. The pizzas are larger than we expected so we could have had 2 between three of us.

About the restaurant

Zonzo stands about halfway between Hyde and Regent’s parks, making it a great spot to rest after exploring London’s green spaces. Cozy and traditional, Zonzo offers a rustic ambiance with warm décor and the familiar crackle of wood-fired ovens in the corner of the restaurant. Diners can even watch as the chef prepares the pizzas, tossing the dough into the air and stretching it in the true Italian style. The Zonzo team prides themselves on looking after their guests at this top London Italian joint.

About the restaurant

Melanzana is on the ground floor of The Raven, which happens to be the oldest pub in Battersea. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with gentle music playing in a candle-lit dining area. This makes it the ideal spot for a romantic meal in London. Their pizzas are superb, with diners often impressed by the thin, crispy crusts and gluten-free options. For a real feel of Italy and some great pizza, Melanzana is the date-night choice for many Londoners.

About the restaurant

Show lovers need to check out the pre-theater dining menu at TOZI, located just minutes away from top London venues like the famous Apollo. The Pizzetta is the first choice of pizza fans, with juicy tomatoes and spicy salami. The standard menu has plenty of pizza options with some unique flavors too, like spinach with black truffle pesto. A surprising taste of authentic Italy in the midst of urban London.

Booking for 8, Christmas office lunch, the flavours and textures of the food were so special and deliciously authentic. Two Italians in our group loved it especially. The service was smiley and attentive. The wines were perfect. To be that attentive at the busiest time of the year with groups is amazing and shows their professionalism and dedication to their art. Before we left they were starting all over again in the open view kitchen for the evening service. Coming back soon hopefully.
