Appetizers in London

“We had the most fabulous experience. Travelling from Portsmouth back to Essex from a very emotional Funeral we needed a break and found this wonderful Restaurant. We were made to feel so welcome and at home. The service was exceptional as was the food. Thank you to all concerned to making a difficult day a little easier.”

“Small and cosy place to have a gourmet pizza one of the few original Italian pizza in London. The host was super friendly and welcoming. I will recommend to everyone who wants to have good food and a chat with a true Italian owners.”

“This was my first visit to this restaurant which was chosen by my client for a business meeting because he is vegan. There are more Plant Based options on the menu than not and they all looked / tasted great. For those of us who also eat meat, I can say the venison was spectacular. Both of us left having truly appreciated a fantastic meal. The venue was perfect, great location in a sophisticated part of town and the ambience was well judged. It's not the biggest restaurant but there was enough space between tables to have discrete conversations without concern. As a further vote of confidence, I will be visiting again in the new year with my wife... AND DOG :) Sean, our fantastic waiter positively encouraged me to bring our dog. Table 6 is probably best if you bring your furry friend because its a little removed from the other tables. I'm looking forward to my next visit - thanks again for the great service Sean.”

“Went here for my mums birthday, young lad that was serving us was very smart and professional. Very nice place and the food was sublime! Definitely coming back!”

“Amazing flavours!! Springy noodles are complemented perfectly with the sauce and mix of beef tripe, succulent meat and fragrant beans and peanuts. The soup makes the meal hearty in a single sip. Highly recommended!”

“Tonkotsu Shoreditch is a truly vibrant and welcoming spot that delivers on its promise of outstanding, authentic ramen. The kitchen excels in crafting deep, flavorful broths—the classic Tonkotsu Ramen, with its rich, porky base and perfectly cooked, thin noodles, is a must-try. Beyond the exceptional food, however, what truly elevates the experience here is the service. The entire team is attentive and friendly especially Sammy, creating a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. This outstanding level of hospitality is clearly set by the leadership, and the manager, Gifty, is nothing short of amazing. Her attentiveness, warm demeanor, and genuine willingness to ensure every guest is well cared for are often highlighted in customer feedback, making a meal here not just delicious, but genuinely delightful. If you're looking for fantastic ramen served with the best service in Shoreditch, this is the place to go.”

“This pub is fabulous! My new fave In the neighborhood. Large space. Excellent Craft beer selections that change regularly. And fabulous service…. Especially bartender Charlie! Go there, and cheers!!”

“Some of the best food I’ve had in my life - no joke. 11/10. The flavors are INSANE and the meat is of great quality. We got the Fatoush, the Hummus with Lamb and the Chicken Shawarma Platter - all simply outstandingggg. Will 100% be coming back and can highly recommend.”

“Great food and vegetarian options. Some tables inside to sit. Great service and Mohammed was very good.”

“Amazing place staff and food. I even travel 5 miles to eat here so so nice”

“The food was absolutely incredible! We loved every dish! The atmosphere was also really nice, the only thing I would say is that the service could have been slightly better. More attentive and a bit quicker to begin with.”

“"A Hidden Greek Gem in Fitzrovia – A Feast for the Senses" We stumbled upon this incredible little Greek restaurant in London, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in London. Every dish was bursting with fresh, bold flavors that felt like a trip to the Mediterranean. The highlight of our meal was the unforgettable Cretan Pot salad—a true masterpiece of flavor and presentation. It featured a perfect mix of cherry tomatoes, olives, onions, green onions, orange, potato, artichokes, and basil vinaigrette, all brought together with the luxurious richness of staka butter cream. The kicker? It was served in a real terra cotta pot, looking just like a potted plant—a whimsical and delightful surprise. And the taste? Ridiculously delicious—every bite felt like a celebration of fresh, perfectly balanced ingredients. Their selection of orange and natural wines was equally impressive, perfectly complementing the vibrant, earthy flavors of the food. We left feeling completely satisfied, yet already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience with incredible food and thoughtful presentation, this spot is a must-visit. A 10/10 culinary adventure we can’t recommend enough!”

“Very tasty Greek food. We had the Bifteki, Mousakka, greek salad and grilled vegetables. All were flavoursome and generous in portion. Service was efficient and polite.”

“*Café Venezia in Hounslow is a gem!* Loved their fluffy omelette and toast — great texture and super tasty. The Eggs Benedict was top-notch, perfectly done with delicious hollandaise. The handmade coffee was a highlight, smooth and rich, plus the latte art made it even better ☕️. Service was warm with big smiles and great hospitality in a cozy, inviting space. Highly recommend for chill breakfasts!”

“This must be the best cafe I’ve been to, hidden gem. Cheap, tasty and friendly”

“Fabulous little traditional clean & well kept cafe. Food is reasonably priced, plentiful & tasty. The ladies that run it are professional, friendly & welcoming.”

“Me and my work friends come here regularly on a Friday and I must say the staff here and food is amazing for its value. I’d also like to say that the strawberry milkshakes here are the best I’ve had in the country - they’re absolutely delicious whilst they taste like Cornish strawberry ice cream :)”

“Awesome pub!! Great food, drinks and service. Cosy and relaxing pub.”

“So popped in for a pint as I saw on Facebook that they brew there own beer and was pleased to say it was great. The beer is lovely and my server knew his stuff and price wise thought £4.60 was fine. Nice beer great attitude. They also do takeaways in various sizes so that’s a bonus. Happy to recommend”

“Lovely pizzas and friendly staff. Pizzas are never greasy. The chunky chicken nuggets are a must try! If you order through their own website you get better deals.”

“I was craving pizza one night and found that this restaurant was still open so decided to try it, even though I ordered quite late the pizza was amazing and was delivered so quickly still nice and hot, it’s so delicious and one of the best pizza’s i’ve ever had. I normally order a pepperoni pizza so whenever I crave one this is now my go to. The customer service is also so lovely and so are the delivery drivers, always so polite. I definitely recommend this place!”

“A truly excellent experience. The service was excellent throughout. Highly recommend you book in advance or expect 30+ minutes wait. The flat iron OG steak is excellent value and tastes great. Would definitely visit again.”

“True gem! It’s hard to find places now days that don’t compromise quality for profit margins. Came here for the medi breakfast and also ordered the shaksuka. Ingredients were so fresh and great quality. Staff were so welcoming and attentive. Will be my regular spot for me going forward.”

“Pepe Nero Pizza is hands down one of the best pizzerias I’ve ever visited! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff who truly care about their customers. The pizza? Absolutely phenomenal! The dough is perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft inside, and the ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. Whether you go for a classic Margherita or a gourmet specialty pizza, every bite is a masterpiece. Their wood-fired crust has that perfect balance of smokiness and chewiness that sets them apart from the rest. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch. The staff is attentive, and orders are prepared quickly without compromising quality. You can tell they take pride in what they do. If you’re a pizza lover, Pepe Nero is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!”

“This place is fantastic...£8.50 for a freshly cooked pizza in the centre of London (cheaper if you take out) - it's unheard of. The restaurant is small, but as a result it feels cosy. The pizzas - and I am a pizza snob, who makes his own dough at home and cooks pizzas within a dedicated pizza oven - are excellent. The bases are a hybrid of Neapolitan and New York style, which in my opinion is the holy grail of the pizza base world. Try this place, you won't be disappointed, it's 5 star food - I came back twice within two days, I loved it so much. A note to the owners - you market yourself as primarily a coffee shop, you sell yourself short, café and pizzeria is more accurate.”

“The restaurant has good service and relaxed / nice old school Italian atmosphere right next to Clapham common park. The food is decent, with a good selection of common Italian dishes, which we love. I would not say the food is anything extraordinary, but I think this is what makes the place cool. No high prices, no strange twists on the recipes, no overstretched concepts, just good old fashioned pizza & pasta. Drinks were fine too, but again we kept it simple. I definitely would consider coming back.”

“An all round pleasurable experience. Rithik our server was polite and very helpful. Great pizza and lovely homemade organic lemonade.”

“Absolutely amazing place! Staff are so warm and inviting and they make you feel like family, this restaurant has become one of my favourite dinner spots! Food is always so fresh and cooked to perfection & they are happy to always add a little extra :) thank you all!”

“★★★★★ Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a true Italian charm that makes you feel right at home. The service was flawless – friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Every dish was bursting with flavour and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces rich and authentic, and the pizzas had that perfect balance of crispy base and generous toppings. Even the wine selection was spot-on, pairing beautifully with the meal. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place cares deeply about giving guests a memorable experience. Without a doubt, one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever visited. Can’t wait to come back!”
