il trillo London

The perfect combination of superb food, a great atmosphere and wonderful service. Plus what may well be the best Italian wine list in all of London. A gem of a place.

When I came in to the restaurant the waiter did not give a particularly friendly warm welcome. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and relaxing and we had a great table in the conservatory but which was nice & warm & full of big lovely plants. When the waiter came he gave the menu to the gentleman in our party first (white) despite there being two women in the party. Maybe he just doesn’t have the extra manners but I did feel a bit negative. The menu was delicious with lots of choice for everyone as was the wine list. When the waiter took our order he didn’t offer any suggestions or guidance regarding sides. When the food arrived we realised we could have done with some more greens etc. Nevertheless the food was absolutely delicious and the service timely etc. The ambience was lovely too. When we got home my husband said to me that although it was lovely the waiter did somewhat lack manners the way he had handed the menu to him first rather then the women or older people. Then he added that maybe he was just a bit in preference of certain ethnic groups. Look, we don’t know what he was thinking or why he was not friendly but living in central London we don’t often worry or think about racism but I found it a coincidence that we both got the same negative vibe. Unfortunately it struck enough of a bad note with me to not return despite everything else being impeccable.

Very nice restaurant. Good service, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the tuna tartare could have been spiced a bit better, and the mal tagliati with Ragu were definitely overcooked. The Ragu sauce was delicious though.

Portions were to too small, does not justify the costs. We took our own birthday cake and they charged us £28 extra for that which frankly I think was discusting.

Nice the place, but very cold inside.I had to stay with my jacket on. The dishes were really good but the portions absolutely ridiculous: just 3 small pieces of lamb only two small pieces of beef. I thought I was eating a starter instead of a main. Ridiculous!

Lovely to go somewhere where you are not confined to a Valentine menu! Great pasta, but my pacchera pasta white ragú dish was only just luke warm. The lady next to me complained about hers and sent it back, wish I had done so too, but the dish was delicious. Only real criticism was that the tables were so uncomfortably close to one another in the garden section that we felt we were having dinner with the next people and not overly romantic.

Very cozy and comfortable . Food is also really good. It is good for couples and friends. I came back there a few times already.

Wonderful restaurant, friendly staff and great atmosphere! Staff were very helpful also with constructing a new pasta for our little one from ingredients they had so that it can be more child-friendly. Really enjoyed out evening!

Excellent traditional fare, very good local Italian wine. Visited this restaurant many times in last 5 years. Always consistent. The food is unpretentious and very well cooked.

Lovely restaurant. Food delicious and beautifully presented. service five star. Staff very professional and friendly. We could not fault it. We had a great evening and will definitely go back regularly.

A great Christmas menu with wonderful flavours! A huge wine list and a nice atmosphere altogether! I would definitely recommend it to couples and families.

Authentic Italian restaurant. Food very tasty. Good athsmophere. Excellent service particularly from our young waiter. The owner was very helpful with wine choice and we had a great with him about the area he is from.

The food was excellent. The service was very good. We will return to Il Trillo with other friends and business contacts. We would recommend it strongly

This is the best Italian restaurant I have been to outside Italy - amazing food and wine. Brilliant atmosphere and service. Will definitely go again

This is the second time I have been to this restaurant and it was just as good as the first time. It was a special occasion and the staff made sure we had a fantastic evening

I love this restaurant - when I want great Italian food this is where I always go. Fantastic food and wine and great friendly service.

Lovely service & beautifully presented food. The host made a lovely recommendation on the wine & suggested starters which we would enjoy. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Great place with amazing food. Definitely one of my favourite spots! The pasta is extraordinary and the chef cares about the little details and the vision. Just top class

Good food, really nice ambiance. Really nice on the house features with the meal. Came with some girlfriends and sat by the window which had a great view

Loved it! Fantastic authentic Italian food and wine. The atmosphere was tranquil and the service was very friendly. I would highly recommended it to anyone.

Great true Italian restaurant. Nice touches like focaccia and amuse bouches. Service is not the most attentive but that was my only gripe. Lovely modern but comfortable setting.

We really enjoyed the food. The service was good. The pasta and the burrata was delicious. The price a bit high but the portions were big enough.

Delicious food in a lovely setting, especially in the garden. The food was very well presented and the service was impeccable. We will definitely go again.

The food is excellent, innovative, delicious The service, instead, not good, waiters not in good mood, waiters passing plates over the table, etc. So great food, nice atmosphere, but the service is not appropriate

Located in the heart of Chelsea. Nice atmosphere, lemon trees, lovely authentic italian food and good Wine. Perfect for a dinner with friends or the partner.

Very tasty food, well presented and a lovely atmosphere. Restaurant was busy not full on a sunny Sunday lunchtime. We arrived before our booked time which did not cause any issues and we were not rushed at all. Service was attentive but not overbearing. We had some mixed starters on the table, 1 main course each and a very delicious bottle of rose. Will definitely visit again.

Love this restaurant. Short menu, all great stuff, lovely wine list and people who really know what they're doing. Recommend the Mortadella with truffles or the the burrata to start with, then literally any pasta choice is fabulous (maltagliata is my personal favourite). And try their amazing limoncello afterwards - it's the best!

A lovely atmosphere in this restaurant and wonderful food and wine. Nothing to fault and such amazing service. Dining here feel like being on holiday and an escape from the busy life!

Best Italian Restaurant in town. Great food and friendly service. Good attention to details. Elegant location. Perfect. High standards even for native Italian standards. ...definitely lovely dining experience!

This is a perfect little romantic restaurant in the heart of Chelsea. The food was amazing, staff excellent, polite and helpful. We will definitely be going back again and again.

The food, service and staff .l were all great. Will definitely list it as one of my favourite restaurants Parking difficult but worth spending on taxi. Unfortunately two large parties were going on in the back room where we were placed and this made it very noisy.

Currently the best high end Tuscan food in London in my opinion. Complemented by a wine list that is a delight to Italian wine lovers.

Very good authentic Italian food. The staff were very friendly. We dined early before he restaurant became busy and thought it was a little rushed.

Well cooked and presented food. Extensive wine list with many reasonably priced options (all with detailed descriptions). Small but attractive venue. Friendly but non-intrusive staff. The restaurant was busy on the Saturday evening I attended. Will definitely return.

Polite attentive staff, excellent food. Good atmosphere. We have been here a lot and enjoy going to supper with friends as it is not too noisy.

The restaurant was very accommodating to our dietary needs; allowing us to modify, or even create, dishes that met our requirements for a pre-marathon carb load.

A family run Italian restaurant with amazing food, lovely ambience and fantastic service. A true gem that should not be missed, we have had some of our best dining experiences in London here.

An excellent corner for italian (mainly tuscan) food, with a superlative wine cellar. Familiar location, good and fast service, appetizers and treats compliments of the house. I'll certainly be back!

I recently had dinner in the restaurant "Il Trillo", where I had the chance to eat some very good italian food (I am italian, so I definitely can state it was really good). The stay was pleasant also because of the very cozy atmosphere: inside the restaurant there is a sort of "winter garden" with some lemon plants and everything results so comfortable and familiar. The wine list is also amazing, provided with a wide variety of excellent brands.

Descent food, nice ambience, constantly asked if we had finished our food which was annoying . It would have been much better if we were left to enjoy our food.

Il Trillo is so authentic, beautiful, and delicious. Great atmosphere and the staff were so friendly and helpful too. They made it special. Especially if you sit in the garden area, magical!

Great food in a lovely restaurant. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. All 6 of us thought it a good find and would go again.

Lovely restaurant with a great space at the back. We were a group of 8. We were very well looked after, delicious food and great menu.

Authentic Tuscan well executed with attentive service. Wine list is so life but not overwhelming. Prosciutto and melon was superb and papardelle was perfectly cooked. The pigeon risotto was unique and decadent but well proportioned. An oasis in a busy city.

Thank you so much. The service was really good, we had amazing food (especially the desserts and primi), and the home made win was top notch!

We visited the restaurant 3 years ago when the food was mind blowing. This time the turbot was not fresh, tuna tartare tasteless, pasta vongole average etc. An Italian version of Irish coffee, served in a whisky glass set us back £10 each, which was a total rip off.

Very expensive and food wasn t very good.The staff was very cold.... a cristhmas dinner non so nice. So I don t suggest it to other

Great food, fantastic atmosphere and impeccable service: highly recommended. Winter garden area is very comfortable and romantic. Authentic recipes and high quality ingredients, great experience

Everything was just perfect. The food was delicious, staff really kind and the environment lovely as well . A truly Italian experience. I definitely recommend it.

Food good but service was very slow and it was not until the following day when one of our party re-checked the receipt, that we realised we had been charged for a bottle of wine that they never bought us. Disappointing as we have had good times here in the past.
