   The absolute best visit into Maria and Pasquales home of 45 years. Humble food that doesn’t chat itself up, it doesn’t need to. The quality and care placed into the whole experience speaks for itself. Simply put, they respect the flavours of the produce and use heirloom recipes and pieces of their history to enhance the ingredients. This space is unique for the host’s ability to create space for everyone in the room and how they interact with each other and the guests. A truly rare and special experience in today’s world. I wish them great joy!

   Perfect place to feel like in Napoli and enjoying the great cuisine. Pizza and pasta were amazing. Also, hospitality was on another level, you can feel like eating in a warm family house

   Such a great place. Brilliant people, amazing food - getting the simplest things spot on. Spaghetti with garlic, oil and chilli… seems easy, but so hard to make this delicious. And a reasonably priced place to eat in the middle of Notting Hill - what’s not to like??

   A striking gem in Notting Hill. Very homey ambiance serving authentic Napoleon flavours. What feels more traditional than gingham table cloths and old photos on the walls to go with a huge Minestrone and generously cheese topped pasta? Will definitely come back.

   We had lunch today and felt right at home — homemade, genuine flavors, all accompanied by Alfonso’s smile and kindness. A little piece of Naples in a corner of London. Thank you to Giovanni, Cristina, and Alfonso for the wonderful experience — we’ll definitely be back!

   Da Maria is a wonderful little Italian restaurant, only a stones throw from Notting Hill Gate underground station. It felt as though we had been invited into the home of an Italian family for home cooking. We experienced the warmest of welcomes and all the staff were extremely friendly. The decor is homely and shows a lot of love for Napoli football club. The food, (which is arguably the most important part of any restaurant/cafe) did not disappoint and was possibly the best traditional Italian food I've ever eaten. The menu is not too overcrowded, but still contains a nice collection of Italian favourites. The starters were excellent, I would definitely recommend the Arancini. The food arrived in very good time. Then the pizza was phenomenal. Real fresh ingredients, a thin base with a stone baked style crispy crust, and the tomato sauce base was easily the best I've ever tasted. After finishing our Pizza, me and my fiancee decided to order a second pizza to share, which was equally as amazing. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you happen to walk past, it could be quite easy to decide to continue on to somewhere bigger. But it would be a huge mistake. I've not travelled to this area much, buy I definitely intend to return as soon as possible. Usually I would always try and leave at least one negative point, no matter how good the restaurant/cafe. But I honestly cannot fault anything through my own personal experience.

   Just like Nonna used to make it. Lovely authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Notting Hill. They were really friendly and welcoming but when they started cooking the food the smells reminded me of Italy. I had the best chicken Milanese outside of Milan! The Arancini was lovely and the Gnocchi fresh! Would highly recommend and will definitely go again! Very reasonable prices as well!

   Before I start, if you go to this restaurant... ASK FOR THE RECEIPT BEFORE YOU PAY. They add on a lot and try and prompt you to tap your phone/card without looking at the card reader. I've actually never left a google review before but I felt the need for this place. I went in with high hopes because the interior is beautiful, the football was on, it felt authentic and the problems I'd heard about like no working toilet isn't something that bothers me too much. Some of the reviews mentioned that the food was frozen and it's not hard to see why. Everything took very little time to come out, was piping hot and yet still somehow didn't seem properly cooked. Felt microwaved. The food itself was entirely flavourless. Below the layer of cheese on the top, my pasta tasted completely unseason. Like it literally tasted like the pasta that you only ever try when you're testing how cooked your pasta is when cooking at home. We had to put a lot of salt on every dish to make it worth eating. The bread was completely stale. The beer had small frozen bits in it and fizzed out everywhere when I first tried to drink just as you'd expect from a beer that's just been pulled out the freezer. To cap it all off, they tried to make us pay £20 more than we should have and the prices aren't cheap to begin with. Probably my worst restaurant experience to date.

   Was in the area and walked past this lovely, authentic and family run, Italian restaurant. Cannot recommended it enough! The Napoli - Udinese match happened to be on and the atmosphere was second to none. Amazing food and friendly staff, easily Notting Hill’s hidden gem and super affordable!

   Authentic, family run, cosy Italian restaurant. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. There’s a great atmosphere inside. They serve nice hearty portions of fantastic pasta. One of my favourite restaurants in London!
