🇬🇧 Hidden Gem Italian Restaurant Near the British Museum

After a long visit to the British Museum, we were cold, tired, and absolutely starving 🥶. We randomly walked into this cozy little spot—and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! 🍝 LASAGNA al FORNO 💷15.95 Now I finally understand why Garfield loves lasagna so much… this was absolutely incredible! 😻 Rich, cheesy, and deeply flavorful—a must-try. 🍚 RISOTTO alla MARINARA 💷20.45 A solid seafood risotto—creamy and packed with fresh flavours. Perfect for rice lovers! 🦐 🥩 COTOLETTA alla MILANESE 💷19.95 We expected the Milanese-style breaded veal cutlet, but seems like they served SCALOPPINE FUNGHETTO by mistake 😔. The steak itself was disappointing, but the roasted potatoes and broccolini were absolute stars! 🌟 The potatoes were crispy outside, fluffy inside, and the broccolini was perfectly seasoned with sea salt and black pepper. Would definitely order these sides again! 🦐 GAMBERONI all'AGLIO 💷11.95 Classic garlic prawns—succulent, aromatic, and delicious. A staple you can’t go wrong with! 😋 🧅 CALAMARI FRITTI 💷7.95 Crispy fried squid rings—decent, but the dipping sauce was the real highlight! 🥒 ZUCCHINI FRITTE 💷4.95 Fried zucchini—unfortunately bitter and overcooked 😕. We informed the server, who kindly offered a replacement. However, they later explained it was the last portion, so they refunded it. 🥑 AVOCADO con GAMBERETTI 💷7.45 After the zucchini was refunded, we ordered this avocado and shrimp salad instead—and it was a delicious surprise! 😍 Highly recommend—refreshing and well-balanced. 🍰 Desserts They don’t have a dessert menu—you pick from the display window at the entrance! We tried a few, and overall they were tasty (though the tiramisu had slightly hard ladyfingers). A mixed experience food-wise, but the welcoming service and some standout dishes make it worth a visit! Will be back for that lasagna and those perfect potatoes .😉 #UK #London #Travel#LondonEats #ItalianFood #BritishMuseum #HiddenGems #FoodReview #LondonRestaurants
