Pappa Roma

If you're in the mood for Italian food in Kensington, Pappa Roma is a top place to eat. Classic dishes are served in a comfortable and rustic space with patterned wall tiles and wooden floorboards, furniture, and panelling. Copper pans hang from the walls and there are high shelves stacked with bottles of wine. This restaurant delivers true Italian flavours in a cosy space with friendly service.

The food is all about tradition here, with many ingredients prepared on the premises each day. Fresh pasta is made here each morning and a variety of breads are baked by hand. The pizza dough is also freshly prepared, hand-stretched, and stonebaked to order in a wood-fired oven. 

On the menu you'll find a broad choice of Italian favourites. Start with something like Sicilian caponata, caprese salad, or calamari fritti. The restaurant offers plenty of pasta dishes including beefy lasagne, ravioli with seasonal fillings, and linguine with tiger prawns. Award-winning pizza is also served with various traditional toppings, and calzone are on the menu as well. The restaurant also does a number of meat and fish dishes like slow-cooked haddock or sirloin steak. 

The wine list at Pappa Roma is almost exclusively Italian, with vintages from regions throughout the country. Every variety is available by the glass, carafe, or bottle. Prosecco is also served by the glass or bottle. For an authentic and comfortable Italian dining experience, Pappa Roma is a great choice if you're in West London.
