The restaurant is spread over two floors. The furnishings, flowers, decor make it look very homely
It was pretty full on a Saturday night with a lot of families with young children - many of them Italian - always a good sign
The service is friendly and brisk
The menu gives a small choice of starters and mains. many of them very appealing and it was hard to make a choice.
We also chose a very good Masianco Pinot Grigio from the extensive wine list
The food we had was uniformly excellent
A starter of scallops with cured pork cheek in a cauliflower sauce was excellent (capasante Saltate in Padella). The clams succulent, the park crisp and salty and the sauce a velvety moreish experience
My wife' enjoyed her starter of the Parmigiana di Malazane. A half aubergine with tomato sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan
For mains both my wife and daughter went for the lasagne con asperagi - asparagus lasagne - both greatly enjoyed it. I had the Paccheri pasta with nduja ragu - a spicy, gutsy sauce - excellent
We finished with thin slice of pineapple with scatterings of finely chopped mint - refreshing finish to a very good meal.
Prices are mid range, portions on the small side, however the quality of the food, the excellent service and the great ambience make this a great find
We went here for dinner yesterday and we loved this place. This place was great; cozy atmosphere, great sitting area, very welcoming and attentive staff. Food was great, the flavors, the ingredients; I really liked my pasta, it had authentic Italian taste. My wife had roasted rack lamb and she said that was great. We loved this place with great Italian food and lovely staff. We would love to visit this place again.
I love Pentolina.
a family run business with excellent food, atmosphere, products and with real taste of Italy.
I have been eating in many "Italian "restaurant around London over the past 15 years and I often find the quality of the food and service to drop after 1-2 years. Not in this case, always a great lunch or dinner. Today, seating outside, I had the Tomino with Honey and Almond for starter and Spaghetti with Zucchini as main. Superb.
And a real Espresso at the end of the meal! priceless!
