I’m thrilled to have found a lovely Italian spot in Notting hill. The restaurant is cosy and really makes you feel like you’ve been transported. The menu is extensive and there’s something for everyone from salads, mains, pizzas and pastas. We ordered a selection of plates and they did not disappoint. The only comment I have is regarding the Aubergine dish which, although costs the same as the other mains, was much smaller and would not have been filling had we not ordered other meals to share. The service was lovely and attentive and I would 100% be back to try more!!
Came here for my best friends birthday after seeing online the recommendations, the menu we went for was £52 which included an alcoholic drink, sharing starter platter, pasta or pizza and a main, dessert and coffee which is amazing value! The food is tasty authentic freshly prepared Italian food and honestly the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life and I have tried many Italian restaurants. The portions were so hearty and we really got our moneys worth, I love the interior and felt like we were in an Italian little village with the floral balcony within the restaurant. Our server was Manuel and he is truly amazing, funny, relatable, made conversation with us as if we’ve known each other for years and made the dining experience amazing and out of this world. I would recommend this place and I will definitely be returning, if you do make a decision to come here ask for Manuel who will blow you away. Enjoy the food photo content 😌
We came here as a large group of 9 for dinner. The restaurant has a cute and relaxed vibe. It was a hot day and they had a large fan blowing at the back. Since we were a large group, we were mandated to have the group menu (over 6 people I think). The menu is a pretty good deal, glass of prosecco and lots of starters to share. This is followed by three large pastas to share and a selection of desserts. It wad around £43pp without service charge (13%). The food in general was OK and I would've like to have ordered off the mail menu - group menu had a lot of pasta and not much protein etc. Overall friendly staff but things were a little slow. Will try out their other branches too.
Delicious authentic Italian food served in good portions in a lovely atmosphere. Everything has been amazing, from the friendly service to the Italian music as a background. If you want to have real Italian food in London, this is the place. Grazie Mamma ❤️
Highly recommend the set menu for an amazing value meal.
Starters board was fab and the best cacio e pepe I’ve had!
Loved the complimentary bruschetta and focaccia dished out by mamma during the meal, and the musical birthday surprise 😉
Learned about the original location on Stanley Tucci’s show. One of the best Italian meals we have had outside of Italy. Service was great. And “mama” made sure she visited every table to ask about the meal. We did a tasting menu and did not have one item we would not order again. Only complaint is the tables are a bit close together.
"La Mia Mamma" at Notting Hill is a fantastic Italian restaurant with delicious food and a beautiful venue. The service is attentive, and the overall dining experience is memorable. While it can be slightly overpriced, it's definitely worth a try for anyone seeking a taste of Italy in London.

I went to La Mia Mamma Notting Hill with my girlfriend for an impromptu dinner, we called last minute and Favio advised that he could squeeze us in last minute and we got to sit opposite "mamma" whilst she prepared the fresh starters and desserts in front of us and also gave us a cheeky little bruschetta to get us going (FOC).
I really enjoyed sitting opposite and would recommend sitting at that bar area for an interactive experience. "mamma" also took our order and was very knowledgeable about the menu and we ordered:
Starter:
Parmigiana di melanzane (VG) £ 11,50:
Layers of aubergines, tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil
and Parmesan cheese: This is a proper Italian starter done perfectly, delicious start to the meal served with some bread to mop up the delicious tomato sauce.
Mains:
Rigatoni con funghi, salsiccia, tartufo / A la carte £ 18,00
Rigatoni pasta with mushrooms, Italian sausage, truffle oil & a touch of cream. : Beautifully served in a hot pan to keep it hotter for longer, delicious pasta and highly recommend, the truffle oil measure was perfect and not overpowering.
La Gianluca Vialli / A la carte £ 18,00
Tomato sauce, mozzarella, stracciatella di burrata, spicy salami, spreadable spicy salami & chilli. : Fresh ingredients and light base make for a delicious italian pizza (takeaway available), they also had chilli oil and garlic oil to dip the crusts in, sooo good!
Dessert:
Cannolo Siciliano £ 8,50
Sicilian treat made with handmade ricotta
nestled in a crispy biscuit shell : "mamma" made this in front of us with the sweet cottage cheese, pistachio and chocolate on either side...a delicious sweet end to a great meal!
Overall, a great experience on the first visit to this restaurant in Notting Hill and it won't be my last, looking forward to trying their other 2 restaurants in Chelsea!
This place is a delight. Authentic delicious food, can tell it is cooked with love. Can’t wait to return. Beautiful outdoor seating for a sunny day or a lovely inside venue with lots of cosy nooks. Food was excellent.
Really tremendous food for a good price. The complimentary bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had. The quality of service greatly exceeded my expectations while dining alone. It seems like the experience would be even better if ordering the set menu with various courses, though some things require a group of two or more.
Spotted this place while on a random stroll and decided to have dinner here. Fantastic, tasty food and a great selection of drinks. The manager and staff were excellent and it made me feel like i was on holiday (in Italy) for a moment. Thank you!
Food was delicious and zero fault there. Gorgeous setting inside.
My only constructive criticism would be to let tables know when menu items are not available when they are sat. Everything we picked from wine to food was not available that day.
I have been told to go with larger groups to do the tasting menu instead and I guess that avoids this whole situation.
Our friend brought us here for lunch after following the place on Instagram for a long time and longing to visit.
Great first impression. The place is beautiful, cosy, and nicely decorated. There are extra seating options in the basement. All staff were really nice and professional.
Great value for money. All dishes from starters and mains to desserts were sufficient portions and all tasted delicious.
However, the lavatories were a big disappointment. All cubicles were dirty, dusty, and in poor condition. No hot water! - ironically 'Caution hot water' sign was displayed. Missing lock in one of the 2 mens cubicles and lotion only offered in the ladies' cubicles.
Such a shame for the bathrooms' state since we really enjoyed all the food, loved the atmosphere and the service, but I can't let so many things slide and must drop a star.
Shout out to both of our servers for their hospitality and welcoming service.
This was the most delicious meal I've had in London! My friend and I got the set menu and loved every dish in it! Michela was an amazing and lovely waitress! Would highly recommend this experience.
My friend Magy and I dined here for the first time tonight and we couldn’t fault this restaurant- food, service atmosphere was amazing. I want to say a big thank you to Romeo who looked after us tonight. He was friendly, patient and super helpful. His service was second to none! The food was also incredible in which we both felt we were back in Sicily! Honestly such a great dinning experience that I would highly recommend. Thank you so much again, we definitely will be back.
The food was amazing! <3 The pizza so flavourful, tiramisu soo tasty over all it was amazing, recommend stopping by if u happen to pass by. ✨
Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever gotten! Definitely get the set menu as it gives you the opportunity to try many things!
Very nice and homey restaurant with friendly staff/owner!
Great atmosphere,felt like being in Italy.
The fresh pasta is very tasty and filling,and the starters are a good portion aswell.
One of my favourites in London.
5 stars all day long.😊
1. Great vibe
2. Delicious food!!
3. Love the chocolate cake dessert
Prices vary. My aubergine costed same as the rib (see photos) and I think the veg options are very over priced. Tapas board is very tasty but… overpriced.
I had a great experience, waiters are chatty and really friendly. They also sing!!! Overall I enjoyed but next time will just order main.
