🍋 "Hidden Gem Italian Cuisine Only London Locals Know 🇮🇹

It's rare to find a restaurant with such a pastoral atmosphere in the city, but Mari Deli & Dining in Chiswick has that instant charm that transports you to Italy. Located in the affluent area by the Thames, you'll occasionally see the laid-back London old money crowd, leisurely strolling with their kids and dogs. This Italian-owned gem has a compass 🧭 retro wooden menu, a cozy space with each table thoughtfully adorned with roses or carnations. A vintage green grocer's van outside is filled with fresh vegetables, adding to the charm. 🥬 The food is authentic; I tried the classic lasagna bolognese and the Italian "lion's head" Polpette meatballs in tomato sauce, cooked to perfection with a sauce that won my heart. For dessert, tiramisu served in a coffee pot ☕️ and a delicate, tasty cheesecake make for a great afternoon tea option. Visiting this restaurant makes you want to come back for more. Not just for the food, but for the good vibes it brings. 📍 Mari Deli & Dining, 1a Eyot Gardens, London W6 9TN #TravelDiary #LondonFood #LondonLife #LondonRestaurants #UKLiving #ItalianCuisine #WeekendInLondon #LondonTravel #Chiswick"
