Trattoria Da Luigi — Restaurant in London

Proper neighbourhood restaurant, with tables ever so slightly too close together, cute but chaotic decor and a menu full of Sardinian delights. On Saturday, I had gnocchetini with Sardinian sausages and tomato sauce, which was delicious but really, really filling - portions are huge here. My friend had their reliably ace specials, the Renaissance-sounding roasted suckling pig with garlic and rosemary roast potatos and veg.

In a few words - You can find much better quality lasagne, ravioli and antipasti at M&S for 1/5 of the price, because yes, this place is also very pricey for its range. One star is for the...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at trattoria da Luigi , and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. The pasta was absolutely incredible—hands down the best I’ve ever had!
