Good and fast pizza. The arancina we're cold in the middle, a little bit longer would have solved that. Good prices, good menus and what felt like authentic italian. Always rare to find a good expresso like we did here, as well.

Who doesn't love a great Italian eatery? It's Britain's favourite foreign food and sadly so often done badly! However, Arancina in Westbourne Grove is a true hot spot for homely Italian food. You can hardly complain when there's 20 Italian school children, several Italian couples and Italian families tucking in around you. It's vibrant exterior and stunning food counter entice you into the foodie delights that Arancina has to offer; and trust me there's plenty.
Where
Arancina, Westbourne Grove
When
Thursday night, 6:30-8:30pm
What we ate
Beef ragu arancine, beef and mozzarella arancine, Nduja and buffalo mozzarella pizza, Carnivora pizza, mixed roasted vegetables, caprese salad, avocado salad
What we drank
Aperol spritz with fresh orange
Highlights:
The arancine were delicious! Super crisp exteriors give way to soft sticky rice and a hearty filling. I preferred the beef ragu version which was speckled with peas for added colour and green goodness. I found the beef and mozzarella version a touch heavy, but it was nonetheless very yummy.
The pizzas were really tasty too and freshly made. I liked the rectangle shape which allowed us to have two types of pizza in one pizza - tongue twister much?! I favoured the Nduja (a spicy Calabrian sausage similar to chorizo) pizza with its soft buffalo mozzarella. This has a smokey sweet flavour that was just delicious. That said, the meat-fast style pizza topping was also really tasty. I would have like to try more veggie options.
Our mixed salad was also a great way to indulge in added veggies alongside the pizza. We went for mixed roasted veggies, a delicious fresh tomato and avocado mix, plus a yummy caprese salad of mozzarella and tomatoes.
Lowlights:
The leaves with the caprese salad where quite limp and not really needed
Overall
Yes I would thoroughly thoroughly recommend visiting Arancina. If you're a West Londoner then it's a great Italian pit-stop for you, however I would say its worth travelling to if you're in central. The rectangle pizzas are really fun and make for much easier slicing, plus the variety of flavour combinations is really great. My favourite thing at Arancina is definitely the beef ragu arancine so if you get a chance to try it let me know!
Great place to go with a large group of friends. Seating upstairs. Pizza is good and there is great variety of toppings. Service is good. Awesome place to grab a slice, or metre of pizza. Pepperoni is halal.
Great place. Awesome place near Portobello for Italian take away as well as eat in. The pizza toppings are premium and generous, but the arancini balls are definitely my favourite! Especially liked the beef ragu arancini.
Service was great! Pizza was fast and tasted amazing! We ordered a "make your own" - Margherita base, extra moz, Italian sausage, bacon and mushrooms! So good! Order the Nero D'Avola red wine:)
We ordered a large pizza, but the pizza that arrived was longer than the table and could have fed a rugby team. Needless to say we were impressed and we took out the rest in a delivery box they gave us. The staff there are lovely and our boys were straight away asking when we could go back.
Highly recommended.
Great gluten free pizza amongst much other Italian fare.
Really good selection of Italian products and good pizza served here. Tables are ridicolously small, but this is due also to the small capacity of the place. But still, you feel like you don't have enough space to enjoy your pizza. Tip: check-in with foursquare to get a free coffee. Second tip: there is something called "Arancina Challenge"... to cut the story short, if you eat 5 pizzas each (at least two people) in 2h 30min you don't pay anything. Otherwise you pay 5 pizzas... apparently the bravest so far could get to the first slice of the fourth pizza. Personally, I've never been brave enough to try the challenge.
Good tasty pizza and really friendly people at service. Truly raccomandate if you wanna test in London a bit of Italian food to takeaway or to eat inside. They offering also other kind of Italian plates as first dish and second dish with a lot of good testy vegetables as side dish even to eat as main course. Enjoy Arancina's food at Bayswater.
Really good Italian food. Excellent service and enjoyable.
Terrific dinner at Arancina. Very tasty Romano pizza bases, very different texture and flavour to the terrible pizza bases you get in most UK pizza restaurants. Friendly service too.
The pizza is delicious very fresh and real Italian ingredients. I would love to see the a la carte pasta back on the menu.
I usually have escalope milanese with mixed Italian vegetables like courgettes peppers aubergine and so on. It's always a treat and I like the ambience and music
Best pizza I've tried in my life. Kind and helpful owner.
