Ambiance (5/5): Upon entering Spagnoletti, you are greeted by an inviting and cozy atmosphere.

The soft lighting and well-spaced tables contribute to an intimate dining experience, making it equally suitable for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends and family.

Service (5/5): The staff at Spagnoletti are attentive and friendly, I was greeted by the Manager Infa, lovely and friendly and she also gave me permission to go and chat with the Chef, he was from italy and we had a short conversation about London and Food (I worked as a cook in Italy for many years, and I love to interface with people!), everyone is making sure that your dining experience is a pleasant one. From the moment you step in, you are welcomed with a warm smile and guided to your table. While the service is generally efficient, it can be slightly slow during peak hours. However, this gives you more time to savor the ambiance and anticipation of the meal.

Menu and Food (5/5): The menu at Spagnoletti offers a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes, including pasta, pizza, seafood, and succulent meat options. Vegetarians and vegans will also find plenty of delectable choices. To start, I sampled the Focaccia Barese ( the cook is FROM BARI in Italy, so you can be sure this have all the corrects flavours, a simple yet delightful appetizer bursting with the flavors of ripe tomatoes, capers, and olives, served on perfectly cooked italian focaccia.

After that I go for the Panelle (a very flavourful fritters made from chickpeas flour (we call them FARINATA in my area in Italy, search for the recipe online, you can easily buy the chickpeas flour even on Amazon, and is DEAD easy to make!) with a black olives and capers tapenade. DELICIOUS.

Beverages (4/5): The restaurant offers a well-curated selection of Italian wines and aperitifs, which complement the menu perfectly. However I did go for my favourite italian fizzy drink CRODINO (if you never tried it you SHOULD!!).

Desserts (5/5): No Italian meal is complete without a delightful dessert, and Spagnoletti doesn't disappoint. The Panna Cotta was heavenly, with the mango coulis and mini merengues, was silky smooth and accompanied by a delectable mango compote.
