De Amicis

Family run restaurant full of quaint trattoria-charm and a simple menu of Italian classics. Food was quite basic, but appropriately priced. I had the crab spaghetti which tasted good. The ragu tagliatelle lacked flavour and needed much more seasoning. The calamari and prawn/avocado starters were fine. Service was prompt and polite.

Terrible service from 2 out of 3 people, food was extremely mediocre. I was really expecting some decent pasta, but it was really sad meal, hardly any taste or any joy out of it. Food does look nice, but taste was not good at all.

This is a very low key but really excellent place to eat. It has lots of regular clients, although its location draws in many tourists too. Count on about £30 a head including wine and its great value in an area which is mostly filled with rubbishy fast food and coffee shops!

Cosy little place serving close to authentic Italian cuisine. Good pasta and pizza dishes, particularly great if you're looking for that classic pizza base which many places in London can't seem to get right. Great value for money, staff were lovely and would come again.

Excellent service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. We loved the soft music playing in the background and together with the lighting and the décor, they really made us feel like in a corner of Italy. The food was delicious, we ordered a variety of starters, mains and desserts and everything was extremely nice! The staff were lovely, very attentive, whilst at the same time giving us enough space to enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. Everything was perfect. Thank you for hosting our special event - we couldn't wish for a nicer experience!

Must be honest, after reading the reviews and perusing the menu, I had high hopes that were not met. Not to say it was a bad experience just rather average. Spaghetti Carbonara was deemed good, as was the sauce for the Gnocchi. The actual Gnocchi though was likened to supermarket produce. The Saltimbocca was poor. For dessert the Tiramisu and Apple Tart were decent but not special. The Lemon Tart was very good. All 3 however felt like they were bought in. Waitresses were friendly.

Cosy Italian restaurant, always tasty food and friendly good service. Had the lobster soup and garlic bread, jolly good, followed by the veal escalope and vegetables of the day. Official Food Hygiene Regulations - Scores On The Doors - they score 5 / elite award. That is 5 out of 5 . And Des Amicis has qualified for the Scores On The Doors Elite award - 3 consecutive top 5 awards by The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Pizza is amazing, thin and crunchy crust. Their chicken, mushroom & potato dish is equally amazing, all tastes like home-cooked.

I visited this place with my girlfriend and a couple of friends for dinner. The restaurant was fully booked because of the “Eat out to Help out” scheme but the manager squeezed us in somehow which we highly appreciated. The overall experience was positive. The service was good however they seemed to be slightly understaffed. Food was good but the pizza was very hard/crunchy. The premises looked very old but clean, in general. It’s definitely worth a try.

Very nice privately owned Italian restaurant, owned by Italians. Food was tasty, well cooked and hot. Reasonably priced for where it is. Good value.
