Celebrated my Birthday with my family.
The setting is lovely, the staff were friendly and attentive, the pianist added to the ambiance, the menu was real italian, the wine was not overpriced and the food was excellent.
I am pleased to recommend it and we will definitely revisit.
Came here for mum's birthday with my sisters and what a great place. The service was great and friendly staff. We sat downstairs which was really nice, there was someone upstairs playing the piano which you heard when you went to the toilet. Great for a special occasion.
Great food, great atmosphere, great staff and a great location.... very happy customer!
A little gem, the food was very good, a great menu and the staff very friendly, will definitely be coming back
Absolutely superb! The service from our waiter Andrés(i think) was amazing and the food was sensational! Id give it 10 � if i could!
We love this place.
Great food, great wines, attentive staff .
One of our favourite restaurants!
Had a fantastic birthday dinner last night. The food, drink and staff were amazing and it really made my birthday. We were still talking about what a great time we'd had the day after. We'll be back soon. Thank you xx
Looking for real Italian food without going to Italy??? You'll definitely find it in Villa Bianca !!! Extremely lovely staff and most delicious Italian food you can get in North West London. ;))
We had A wonderful evning. The food was lovely
The live pianist and warm fire upstairs makes the atmosphere incredibley romantic and special. Food was and service great too. But the live piano music just make it so sweet compared to other restaurants -
Superb. Authentic. Staff accommodating and friendly. Live pianist every time I've been there.
Fantastic and stunningly beautiful restaurant with great service and amazing good food. In fact this is probably the best Italian food I have had in London - it is closest to authentic Italian food in London. Also , the value for money is incomparable. You would think it is a very expensive place but it is actually very reasonable.
The service is excellent - they even have a wonderful pianist upstairs. We had a table on the first floor terrace and the pianist was playing lovely music while we ate. The ambiance is incomparable. The décor is beautiful - loved the flowers everywhere! Highly recommend the place and make sure you get the first floor balcony!!
It's definitely one for those of you looking for something romantic. Food was lovely though as were the staff. Atmosphere was more for an older crowd, so didn't really suit me - but can see why it's very popular.
Villa Bianca is an elegant restaurant that serves authentic Italian food. The meal we had was quite expensive; however, we had a great quality service with a waiter that made great recommendations, and the food was all delicious. In addition, the restaurant has a really lovely atmosphere because it was big windows that let in a lot of light and the interior is colored in light tones so the restaurant is luminous, which really brightens your day.
We had a variety of appetizers, which included the mussel meunière plate which was amazing, I really couldn't get enough. I then had the mushroom risotto as my main dish and it was delicious. I definitely recommend coming here for authentic Italian dining.
Open since the early nineteen seventies, Villa Bianca is both an institution of Hampstead and an old school neighbourhood Italian restaurant. While the food is tasty and authentic, the interior (split across two levels and four outdoor tables), service and atmosphere are outdated. While there are six staff looking after the tables, only two of them take orders which makes ordering a challenge at peak times. The prices are on the premium end even for Hampstead and other Italian restaurants in the area. The decor is a mismatch of modern and antique. With that said the food hits the spot. The lobster soup (£12) was perfectly cooked. The whole sea bass (£30) was fresh with a slight lemon sauce. The veal milanese (£29.95) was crispy and tender with a generous portion.
As always my favourite Italian restaurant where I feel like home!! Always a pleasure returning :) best service, the best food and the atmosphere you feel so welcomed and well treated!!
It was a beautiful sunny October day as we sat upstairs on the terrace eating delicious Italian food and listening to their wonderful pianist.
So great full to have these moments when the world is in chaos 🙏
Excellent food and atmosphere. Seafood pasta wasn’t top. But mafalde la ragu was probably the best pasta I’ve had
On entering the restaurant you get a lovely friendly welcome and greeting from the head waiter. We were shown to our table which was very nicely laid out with crisp white table cloth which gives the place a traditional feel. There is a large selection on the menu of fish, meat, pasta etc to suit all tastes. The quality of the food was excellent and very nicely prepared and presented. You don’t go away hungry as the portion sizes are good. We didn’t have to wait long for our food between courses. The venue has a lovely atmosphere and being tucked away in a quiet side road in Hampstead Village means it’s a quiet and peaceful setting. We really enjoyed our meal here and look forward to returning soon. Thanks to the attentive staff for making our visit so special and enjoyable.
Had a wonderful lunch. Set menu and good value (especially for Hampstead). The tuna was exceptional and service excellent.
A boutique Italian restaurant right at the heart of Hampstead. You will see two elderly gentlemen all suited up impeccably whom I believe are the owners of the restaurant.
Old fashioned way of serving but unfortunately lost of their Italian friendly touch.
There is a piano upstairs and there is live music played which is really wonderful for an evening meal.
Food is good as one would expect.
Food 8.5/10, ambience 9/10, service 8/10, value for money 8/10.
A hidden gem.
One of my favourite places to visit in North London, typical up market Italian with outstanding service.
We had a wonderful table outside with the glorious sunshine. The wine list is superb for such a little restaurant. It's just a little walk off the main road. As you can see from the photos the food is superb, amazing flavour profiles that compliment each other perfectly.
Then mains we shared the Tomahawk it was rendered to perfection and cooked medium rare. We weren't expecting the additions of frites and roasted vegetables.
The live piano finished the experience of for us.
We will be back very soon, it was an experience we won't forget.
Little gem in Hampstead. We looked for a special restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and found the right spot. Warm and cordial Italian atmosphere. Of the food we ordered we especially liked the wild boar tagliatelle, Nodino veal loin chops and the Ossobuco. Delicious! The special highlight was the Zabaglione dessert freshly made in front of us. What a treat! Nice wines and cocktails. Chianti Classic is always a winner, and so is the Negroni and Manhattan. Grazie mille for a lovely dinner.
Absolutely stunning! Both food and service were great. They had good variety of pasta - both with fish and meat. Totally enjoyed Ragu tagliatelle which was rich in beef flavour with hint of tomatoes. Meatball in spaghetti meatball was just awesome. Herb, salt, texture etc - everything was well balanced, simple yet difficult to achieve the best. Relatively pricey for its portion but love to come back here again.
2nd visit: Tried tagliatelle with squid ink, crab meat. It was not as good as other spaghetti i tried before. Spaghetti Von gole was better though.
Food was incredible, didn’t catch the name of our waitress and waiter but young man and women working upstairs on 30/09/23 were exceptional. Pianist made the atmosphere amazing. We will 100% revisit.
I think this is probably the best resteraunt experience I've had. From the little side street it's tucked away, to the staff and surroundings. The food was absolutely unbelievable and fair prices for the great service and food quality you receive. No doubt in my mind I'll be back here very soon. SUPERB !
Lovely, airy and open space with widely spaced large tables. Impeccable service and excellent Italian food. A little pricey ... but worth it.
Lovely Italian restaurant at the heart of Hampstead. Always friendly and great service. Hearty delicious food. Cosy ambiance, great for family occasions and for romantic evenings. We've been coming here for over 30 years, first as a young couple and now with the whole family and it has never disappointed us!!
I never failed for this restaurant! Whenever I visit here with my friends they are alway save this restaurant for later! Real Italian food, and good, calm atmosphere! waiter also professional, especially for the wine! He recommended the wine for us and that was perfectly match with our taste!
Lovely Italian restaurant in the heart of Hampstead. We were a group of 7 and got a private(ish) dining space on the first floor.. the food was excellent, and our server was so helpful with choices and wine pairing too. We had (and loved) the Truffle Spaghetti, Scallops entrée, chicken breast, and grilled salmon. Tiramisu & coffee were the perfect end to a delicious meal!
(Little heavy on the wallet, but definitely worth it for a special meal)
