Italian Corner Cafe & Pizzeria — Restaurant in London

Really good pizza. Why? - coz they can customize it to my liking and that doesn't mean just bunging a load of stuff on; they really know their ingredients. For instance, I like my pizzas with less cheese and very well cooked, which, for a busy outlet, is greatly appreciated as the chef and front of house team are eager to please their customer base in a timely manner + a good crust goes a long way. I only mark it down on atmosphere a little bit, because sometimes I 'm in there to disrupt an otherwise homely, relaxed vibe, ha. Again, for me, their Lasagne is the best in the area as all its component parts are rich in flavour and is a generous portion size too, which comes from knowing how much the chef used to love making it, serving others and eating it, growing up in Italy as a kid. There is other stuff as well as they do a full cooked breakfast, a range of pastas, pastries, piccoli piatti (small plates), puccia, coffees, teas, cold drinks/premium juices and all for take away too. Even ice creams and sorbets in the spring/summer months, all of which are especially lovely outside on the covered, albeit small al-fresco dining area, on a broad walkway which is set well back from the main road at the end of small, well lit and pleasant parade of shops close to ample parking and public transport routes, with the surrounding area full of history. Directly opposite there is a really large, lovely and fascinating park with it's own museum, lakes, wildlife, wetlands, follies, majestic walkways and grand outbuildings, so Italian Corner is perfectly situated to cater for many of your morning, brunch, lunch, afternoon or early evening catering and picnicing needs both inside and outside of the park, Italian Corner is easily reached via a short walk from Acton town tube station which serves both Piccadilly Lines and District Lines to and from Heathrow Airport and Central London. The cafe/bistro is also open later on in the evening as well as their take away operation too and I would encourage collection as you also get the sights, sounds and aromas of an Italian kitchen to enjoy too. (The pictures are representative of the kind of food found at Italian Corner, but if you really want to know what the food looks like when fresh out of the kitchen, then perhaps you should take a look for yourself. It is hoped that in the near future Italian arrosto will also be available both inside and outside as well as other...

We completely stumbled across this gem of a cafe. My son took his friends to the TFL Acton Depot for his birthday party and we needed somewhere nearby to serve food & his birthday cake. I went to look at the café ahead of the party and it was the perfect size for a small party for small people. Sheron was really helpful over WhatsApp with making arrangements and we had so much help from them on the day with decorating the cafe to look like a London Underground ticket booth.

The pizza was really good, generously sized and very reasonably priced. We took the leftovers across the road to Gunnersbury Park for a picnic later that day and we’ll hopefully go back to do that again.

The service during the party was amazing. All the children’s demands for more juice, water, extra napkins etc all met within seconds!

This is a small, friendly cafe with great pizza and bespoke service. I hope we’ll eat there every time we visit Gunnersbury Park or...

Affordable prices for good pizza—£10 for a 12-inch pie shared between the two of us, which was more than enough. We enjoyed the Teresa that had Parma ham and stracciatella cheese. The cheese was deliciously creamy, although it made the pizza a little sloppy. 5/5 for food and value.

Service was quick, as they weren’t overly busy when we were there. The place is just a small takeaway shop with some simple seating inside and a couple of tables outside. It’s got nothing going for itself ambience-wise, as the dining area is somewhat grotty, but it was sufficient for us, since we only wanted to stop by real quick for a meal en route to a concert at Gunnersbury Park. Drinking glasses could’ve been cleaned better, as I had debris in mine, which I only noticed once I had pretty much finished my water. Ick. No customer toilet, FYI, which is indicated on a sign stuck on their window.

If I lived in the area, I would only...
