Italian Cuisine in London 🦞 Beats 99.9% of Restaurants I Tried

I came back from Italy last week without writing a single restaurant note. The places I visited were mostly just okay, and some, like the one near the Pantheon, were actually pretty bad 😂. But the Italian restaurant my mom and I went to in London before she left was a game-changer. We both agreed it was better than 99.99% of the restaurants we tried in Italy. The ambiance is super romantic, and the waiter, who is Italian, introduced each dish with such passion. The menu is classic, with pasta, seafood, pizza, and desserts—something for every budget. I took my mom there just to enjoy a nice meal and make her happy. The couple next to us ordered pasta and tiramisu each, and the atmosphere was so cozy and romantic, you could almost see love bubbles forming between them 🫧💕. Perfect for a date! Recommended Dishes: *Sgroppino*: A Venetian pre-dinner aperitif. My mom still talks about this sweet drink even after we got back home. She loved it so much she had two glasses and even thought about making it herself. 🥂 *Fritto misto (Mixed Fried Seafood)*: Fried squid, shrimp, and fish, with a crispy mystery ingredient that I’ve only had in two other restaurants in Venice and Orlando. It’s that good! 👍 *Seabass in Salt Crust*: Go for this if you’re feeling a bit more indulgent! It’s my favorite 😍. The picture with the flames is this dish. The fish is covered in salt, similar to the Beggar’s Chicken method. The waiter lights it on fire, cracks open the salt crust, and fillets the fish right in front of you. The whole table was wowed! 🎉 *Native Lobster*: Classic tomato lobster, with tender and bouncy meat. If you’re a fan of garlic, this might not be for you—it’s more on the sweet and tangy side. 🦞 *Pistachio Tiramisu*: A must-order for every table! It’s different from the usual tiramisu—it’s more like a cream rather than a mousse, served on a base of ladyfingers and Italian coffee. 🍰 🍴 Azzurra #food #ItalianCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant #RomanticDining #RepeatVisitRestaurant #PrivateSpot #DateNightRestaurant #Restaurant #LondonItalianFood #LondonItalianRestaurant #LondonRestaurant #PrettyFoodInLondon #MustTryInLondon #MomApprovedRestaurant #UKRestaurant #LondonFoodie
