Villa Toscana — Restaurant in London

This place is such a hidden gem. The portion sizes are massive for what you're paying, but I'd happily pay double for half the price (especially for the starter I had)

The pizza is by far the best I've ever had, and has that authentic Roman style. The dough has a slight crunch on the outside with a nice soft dough in the middle.

You can tell the ingredients were all freshly prepared and nothing was frozen.

The beer is on the expensive side, but for the price you're paying for the food being so low, you don't tend to mind too much.

The tiramisu was nice (I prefer more coffee) and again the portion size was incredibly generous for what you pay.

If you like authentic Italian, and you're either a local or visiting for the night, pop in and you won't be disappointed.

It doesn't look like much from the outside but the quality of the food, the service and the portion sizes are out...

We went here for a date night as we thought the ambience was like a candlelight dinner. Walked to the door, and it was locked but then opened for us.. to find a couple dining. The lights were quite bright especially where we were sitting and no candles, so decided to sit outside which was nice. If you do this and it's quiet, do be aware you'll have to get out of your seat and shout to the back to ask for anything. There isn't a drinks menu, so be sure of what you fancy to drink If you order lemonade, understand you will receive orange sparkling water, italian lemonade, I was told? Being a homely Italian restaurant and being established for so long was a little disappointed when I asked for balsamic vinegar. A squeeze bottle of waitress glaze was presented Both members of staff were friendly and smiley. Pizzas were lovely, and the square one was definitely worth it. The...

I have been here before and the food is just as excellent this time round, I barely managed to finish off my pizza which was a perfectly cooked pizza con pollo with a garlicy parmesan sauce topping, the other guests I was with had the lasagne, spaghetti Bolognese and a margarita pizza of which there was a little pizza crust left, the house red wine is delightfully drinkable, even dangerously so, i finished off my meal with their lemon sorbet which was served in the lemons own skin.

We had gone in early as we needed to be away for a 300 mile drive home but as we ate the restaurant filled to capacity and were sending out takeaway pizzas and pastas at a rate of knots, had i gone later i would have plumped for one of their outside tables despite the chilly air!!

I will be going there again to try more of their awesome menu as soon as I can get...
