Very nice, cosy restaurant. From the moment you enter you feel very comfortable and this is aided well by the jovial staff. It is a relatively small restaurant so things never seem to get too hectic and this perfectly facilitates a relaxed and enjoyable evening.
I visited with 3 friends from work, one of whom speaks Italian leading to some enthusiastic conversation with the staff that I obviously couldn't understand but made me eager to learn the language! Generally I find Italian food very enjoyable and I was excited to see how authentic Nuovi Sapori's take on it was.
For starters myself and a friend shared the calamari and buffalo mozzarella. The buffalo mozzarella was nice however I have had better in the past. Unfortunately the calamari was very rubbery and although it had a nice chargrilled side to it, there was a distinct lack of flavour.
The main course was a big improvement. I ordered the seafood risotto which was generous with the seafood, something you often don't see these days, and filled me up very nicely as I struggled to finish the portion. I know, I would make a terrible Italian!
The price is more on the expensive side but there are options affordable for most, so long as you steer clear of the premium dishes. The service isn't included however you will definitely feel like adding generously due to the friendly and prompt nature of the staff.
Overall was an enjoyable evening, the food wasn't the best I've tried, but I would happily visit again (minus the calamari).

Parsons Green isn't my part of town, but I'd heard word of a good neighbourhood Italian restaurant on New King's Road from an Italian friend, so there we went. A noble little place, with plenty of local custom, I was at ease as soon as I set foot in the light pastel room littered with families, couples and friends rapt in conversation.
There's an avuncular figure flitting between tables providing the service. In our experience, drinks and starter ordering was a bit slow but thereafter he was a hearty presence ready to make recommendations and divulge the identity of the Italian film and comedy stars whose photos peer down from each wall.
Kicking off with a Negroni, and then a Montepulciano generously priced at £14, the aperitif and wine were both good. My starter of chicken livers was well prepared, the sauce a tiny bit rich and strong on the balsamic vinegar, but I wasn't disappointed with it at all. My friend's clam linguini was short of garlic, chilli and salt, so he fared a little worse and wasn't afraid to say so out of waiter's earshot.
I had the most expensive item on the menu for my main, the £18 fillet steak with mushrooms and peppercorn sauce - quite a small steak, even for a not-outrageous price, and comfortably a full shade of brown beyond medium-rare as requested. The peppercorns were a bit bitter, and the zucchini I ordered as a side were slightly soggy; these are all observations which don't spoil a good meal outright but they are, taken in sum, a shame.
The digestif we were recommended was Amaro Lucano, a stiff and warming way to round things off.
An Italian meal is an event in itself, a conversation around food designed to spark social discourse. Nuovi Sapori gets so much of this right - but the food, on this particular night, was the only thing found a little wanting.
Glad I found this amazing little restaurant!! Food was amazing! So delicious. Probably the best Italian I had in many years! The owner and the stuff are so lovely and friendly!
Absolutely amazing vibe! Stayed till close with my friend. This is my number 1 spot for the best Italian now!
That’s a real good italian place to come for pasta. I’d say very classic north Italy.
One of the favourites Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood, best service and fantastic food that is pocket friendly. Come try and you will also become their regular customer.
One of the most favourite Italian places in London! Service is excellent 👌 host always tries to find place for you or suggest the time it should become available. I appreciate a lot this attitude! Food is fantastic, menu changes sometimes so whenever you come - can always try something new. Atmosphere in general very relax and homely what makes this place even more special for cozy dinners. Recommend 🙌
Really lovely restaurant, the waiter was very friendly and welcoming. Food was great especially the mushroom risotto. The lemon cheesecake was delicious.
The best Italian restaurant in this part of London.
Delicious food, perfect service.
Thx Sergio for being such a nice owner, thanks to your hospitality I feel like I'd be at home :)
Love this place!
Cheers!
Great ambiance, solid menu selection, well prepared food using quality ingredients, and, best of all, super friendly service. In particular, our waiter from Madeira was amazing!
AMAZING!! This is by far the best restaurant I’ve eaten at. The food is incredible! It’s so fresh and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend the Scallops to start and their famous lobster pasta as a main. The lobster pasta was also only £23 which is so affordable. It was delicious. Service was wonderful. Don’t let the exterior put you off! It’s a real gem and I would highly recommend.
Fantastic atmosphere and delicious penne arrabbiata. Super reasonable prices. Second time visiting and will be back asap!
Very good food, tasty and very nice service I enjoy always when I go in this amazing place ❤👌🥂🍾 !
The food is good. The service is quick. The price is acceptable. For sure a four star restaurant.
Amazing food, the real deal. You have to try the veal cutlet. And between the grand old dear beside us ripping her husband to shreds and the staff constantly at each other, it was dinner and a show. CANNOT recommend more.
Lovely Italian restaurant with good food (including great veggie options), and super friendly staff. Good prices too! Will definitely go again.
As, you can see, we have given 5 stars in every area as you cannot fault Nuovi Sapori, food is fantastic, service is brilliant and friendly, restaurant is so clean with white table cloths.
Congrats Sergio, you have a fantastic restaurant.
Highly recommend but do book as they are extremly busy.
One my favourite Italian restaurants I’ve been to in London. Amazing food and wine! We couldn’t have asked for better service with the most welcoming and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning!
Tonight we had a private party for 12 downstairs in what often looks like the storeroom - it was transformed into an amazing area. The food and service were fabulous and we had the best time! To anyone who dines at this gorgeous restaurant upstairs, if you’re looking for a personal and intimate area for a private party, then this is the place! Look downstairs - an ugly duckling which can be turned into a swan!
I have eaten at this restaurant on a few occasions. The food is delicious and the service, excellent. I brought friends with me yesterday evening and they too were very impressed. None of us actually live in London, so it involves a significant drive to get to Parsons Green, but it has always been worth the drive. Every dish, without exception is exemplary and it is clear that there are a number of diners who are regular visitors, by the friendly community atmosphere.
The food is amazing, the staff are amazing, the owners are just the most friendly and helpful and fun people. The prices are good too. Must visit and would recommend to everyone.
