Good food. Fresh, ambience is very ok though. Food is simple tasteful. I tried the Parmigiana as well and I really liked the home like taste it had in it.
This place was among the top 100 places to eat in London according to TripAdvisor. Went for a quick bite. The service is quick and think most of the food is ready made hence pretty quick. Tried melanzane alla parmagiana and kale and cabbage lasagna. Loved both items. I usually despise aubergine but genuinely enjoyed it in their lasagnas. Cost is decent as well and a highly recommended place from me!
I was surprised to see that Recipease has closed down, so we moved further down the street, avoided a few options and walked into Arancina. I've been wanting to try it out for ages, but I normally try and avoid high carb places like pizzerias. Having my sister with me, allows me to justify, (in my mind) a visit to places like Arancina that I've been longing to try out.
This location has a small space downstairs where the pizzas and arancinis/arancina? are on display in counters. There's just one tiny table for 2 to stand at, but there is seating upstairs.
The pizza (mixed meat) was excellent. I could definitely go back for more. Thin crust, a lovely sauce, not too much cheese and lots of meat. They were very light to eat and the rectangular shape makes them easy to manage without spilling toppings.The coffees were fantastic. (latte & flat white).
I'm not a big fan of arancini and the broccoli and sausage meat one that we tried, didn't inspire me to try any more.
I'll go back for sure, but I'm sticking to pizza and coffee.
Oh, and I also picked up the mini biscotti at the counter, that were amazing!
small food "corner" in Notting hill. cuisine is typical from Sicily and their famous arancini are amazing. I would not consider Arancina a restaurant but more as an "arancineria"
Very good Sliced Pizza, Arancina is a very popular place in the area and every time we are having our walk in Notting Hill we are stopping by.
I've been to L' Arancina many times and i must say that the food is very good specially the pizza, is one of the only places in London where you can find Arancini that is fried rice balls with different ingredients on it!!!
Lovely Italian delicatessen, from Pizza to Arancina, in The middle of Notting Hill, lovely walk towards the market from the Tube station!!!!!!
Best pizza in town bar none. Definitely sit upstairs if you have time, order a metre slab and a bottle of red and enjoy! Not so keen on the arancinas, by the rest is spot on.
Ragu is rich in meat, with a nice spicy sauce and Some veggies.
What Could Be Improved is the way THEY heat it up, INSTEAD of frying it When You order it, it's Warmed up in the micro wave so much less crispy.
Maybe it's What should happen When you pay £ 2 for a (big) arancini in a cool place.

Aracina definitely set a new standard of what proper Sicilian pizza should be for me, and I can’t wait to go back! A must if you’re ever in London.
My friend and I decided to have dinner there, both in need of something that reminded us of home. Considering the fact that I am an Italian who was born in Sicily, I have to say that I was really pleased with the overall taste of the food I ordered. An 'Arancina' (a traditional, Sicilian stuffed rice ball) is a must when eating there; although it is classified as an Appetiser in the menu they hand out, please keep in mind that an Arancina is quite big and might satisfy you. Last but not least, both the service and the overall atmosphere was nice (including the lovely decorative Fiat 500 they use as a Pizza display) as well as the extremely central location, being in the heart of Notting Hill.
Sicilia Bedda!
Arancina first looks like a tourist place from outside, a lot of tourist clicking pictures of the orange car in the window, and then you realize there is hell lot of a good food placed inside the car. And then you go in (after of course you take the picture too) Mine is attached!
We opted in for a take out. All of their food is displayed outside and that makes picking up more difficult. Everything looks delicious. We picked up 2 pizza slices. Pizza is very thin crust and their cheese is perfect! And we hardly paid more than 5 pounds.
Next time we decided to eat in. They have a place upstairs, which was even better. Little more expensive than take-out but for a pizza like this, I think this it's still a great prize.
Absolutely delicious pizza! Crispy homemade crust, sauce that's tasty without overpowering the other ingredients, and generous toppings, all cooked perfectly. We loved it. And come on - there were two Italian tourist families eating next to us and enjoying it! How much more authentic can you get? Furnishings were simple but clean, and the folks working there were helpful and congenial. Highly recommended!
Simply Great Pizza, but so much more... Including delicious Arancini balls with a choice of different fillings, plus Italian desserts like Tiramisu and Gelato! Tucked away in the leafy streets of Notting Hill lies this food landmark and cornucopia of Italian tradition in the form of Arancina.
My partner and I had heard so many fantastic things about this place and it did not disappoint! When we arrived, we were greeted by the lovely Giovanni who made us welcome and took us through the menu to help us decide the best choices. We opted for the Carnivora and the Romana pizzas. WOW! What great flavor combinations from the soft but crispy crust combined with the generous and mouthwatering toppings, made our experience a delight. You could tell that this place only uses the highest quality ingredients. My advice is to head on over to Arancina, sit back, relax, close your eyes, and taste the delights that are on offer. This place will have Gabrielle Bonci looking over his shoulder as this is a next-level taste experience.
Stumbled across this cool little pizza joint after our dinner plans fell through. The guy working there was super friendly and was very helpful even though we showed up about 30 minutes before closing. Pizza was really good even after a 30 minute train ride and unfortunately I had to reheat it. I really enjoyed the risotto balls. Maybe more so than the pizza.
Anyways, I recommend you try it out. Try to get it hot and fresh.
I had an amazing experience at this pizzeria that reminded me of Pizze al taglio in Rome. The moment I took a bite of their pizza, I was transported back to the bustling streets of Italy.
Their pizza has that thin and crispy crust topped with flavorful ingredients. The variety of toppings and combinations they offer is impressive, catering to different tastes and preferences.
The cozy ambiance of the pizzeria adds to the overall experience, making it a great place to savor a slice of Italy right in the heart of London.
If you're craving a taste of authentic pizza, this pizzeria is a must-visit. The flavors are truly reminiscent, I can't wait to return for more delightful pizza moments!
(Before I get tackled by pizza amateur, yea I know it’s not the Neapolitan pizza)
This place has a great vibe and really good pizza (and arancini). We sat upstairs, where about 7-8 tables are located and it was very chill, we managed to have a nice break from walking around London in the day.
As well as individual and sharing pizzas, they offer pizza slices, if you just fancy a bite. I went for the combo offer (slice+ arancini+ soft drink), which is a fair price for London's standards!
We walked past this quirky shop and my friend said it’s a famous name in Italian which they sell rice ball in the south of Italy in Sicily and we wasn’t so hungry but she said we had to try a nduja provola which is a rice ball stuffed with provola cheese herbs and tomato sauce.
There’s seating area upstairs and a toilet if needed.
This place is hands down the best pizza you will ever taste in your life. I’m not sure I could eat pizza anywhere else since my exquisite experience for fear of disappointment. The staff are so lovely and warm. I cannot wait to return. Looking forward to trying more sensational flavours of pizza in the future!
Solid pizza with great dough and somewhat unique style. It's a cute little spot with an interesting history and decor. The arancini are a nice option too. If you are in the area and just need something tasty and straightforward, this fits the bill.
Went here a couple times while on holiday for a quick bite. The pizza is excellent and portion sized perfectly. Their upstairs eating area is warm and inviting. Staff very friendly.
This place looks amazing and tastes even better. That have great gluten free pizza that actually resembles bread and not "vinyl brittle" substitutes, and really satisfying vegan choice too. The Sicilian lemonade is very zesty and a must, and a great attentive team. Will be a regular here indeed
