Good food and friendly staff BUT, waited far too long for service though restaurant not busy. Ok prices but, pizza is a not expensive. Probably won't go again even though good location .
Very nice food and welcoming staff, fairly priced overall in a small homely restaurant. We would definitely come back again if we're visiting one of the local museums.
I visited this restaurant with an extended family party of eight (including two four year olds) in the late afternoon. Friendly staff. Nice, slightly different, italian food. Very reasonably priced for London. Good for kids.
As usual our visit to Pappa Roma was excellent. The food is freshly prepared and cooked and the staff are friendly and welcoming. A fantastic Italian restaurant with a lovely family feel. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
5 stars for both quality and service! Lovely place, booked online, no hassle, super-friendly staff, authentic food, served in less than 20 minutes from the time we placed the order. Highly recommended!!
Great little Italian restaurant which we go to when in London...lovely atmosphere and great food! Staff are always attentive and we will certainly visit again when back in London.
Great food and prompt efficient service. Caprese salad just as it should be. Chocolate soufflé to die for. Will be back without a doubt. Thanks!
Lovely food , great location , and a really cosy look to the restaurant . Would highly recommend others to try this place as it's a good varied menu
Great menu, great wine, great staff, great place. A must visit if in the area. Cannot fault it. Also kids pizza are £5 and totally tasty.
Great authentic italian food (we are italians). Staff friendly and attentive with us giing with a little 4 year old child. We will be back
Great service and Calzone packed with loads of ham. All rest of the family enjoyed their meals. I Would recommend if you in the area
Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere and really good staff. we had a brilliant meal and will definitely come back soon. Booking online was really easy and problem free
Great service. Amazing pizza. Lovely pasta. Would definitely recommend. Just off the beaten track near South Kensington tube station away from the crowds. Sure we'll go again when we're in the area.
We always enjoy the food at Pappa Roma, however, on this occasion the service was very poor. It seems as the main patron was not in the restaurant the team in charge had made plans for the evening and wanted guests to leave as soon as possible. Although we had a table booking for 21:30 we still expected to be able to enjoy our meal without being rushed by the waitress. We had barely finished our mains when we were asked whether we wanted any desserts whilst at the same time being told that they wanted to close the restaurant so we'd better be quick! Really disappointing, particularly as it took the same waitress 10 minutes to bring us the menu in the first place when we arrived (and no, the restaurant was not busy but she was chatting to her friends...). So next time we will make sure the main patron is there as he is an excellent host!
Excellent food and friendly service. Decor was on the drab side, chocolate and cream colours reminded me of my bedroom in the 70s! Music not to our taste but we had a nice chat about it and encouraged them to play Italian opera! (Yes, I know, that's not to everyone's taste either!). But the best thing about it is that it's authentically Italian with lovely Italian ingredients. Will definitely recommend.
A pleasant post concert venue with good food and a decent wine list. The atmosphere of a traditional trattoria good service and away from the usual mayhem of South Kensington
For a pleasant late meal after a Prom - this is the place to go - good food, service and the atmosphere of a traditional trattoria
Very nice food and great service, very reasonably priced for the area. Great for pre Royal Albert Hall or museums. Will definitely go visits again.
We visited the restaurant for a birthday celebration prior to attending a promenade concert at the Royal Albert Hall. The food was excellent, the staff very efficient and friendly, and we had the perfect dinner experience. The ambiance in the restaurant is that of a restaurant in provincial Italy - first class.
We used Papparoma thrice during our London holiday. It is staffed by Italians and we had a good experience. Situated on a quiet side street across from South Kensington tube.
Excellent food and great service would recommend this restaurant. We were visitors to London so therefore we chose to dine here before going to The Royal Albert Hall to see Kathrine Jenkins who was amazing
Lovely staff, nice food. Quick service, tucked away, perfect pre Royal Albert Hall. Fed go again. Thanks to all the staff, much appreciated your service
Service was great, fantastic food. My pasta dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Vegetarian pizza was lovely, huge! Ingredients were all fresh and full of flavour. Nice to be able get a carafe of wine too. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely food, service and ambience ☆☆☆☆☆ Staff very accommodating , it was my dad's birthday and staff made a special allowance for our birthday cake which we brought from outside, We had pizza of course! So good
The waitress was new and did not really perform - however the rest of the crew did an excellent rescue operation, the manager did not charge for deserts, coffee and avecs as an apology. The price / quality ratio of food was excellent. We had a great dinner!
Best Tiramisu I have ever eaten! great food, great service
Excellent welcome. Staff very pleasant and hospitable. Food and selection of food very good. Thank you to the staff. If in London again would certainly visit and would recommend it to friends.
Great restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. Definitely returning.
Great service and great food. Nick was a wonderful host and promptly replied to my email inquiries prior to the dinner event. Highly recommended for a large group gathering.
Excellent service, lovely food. This restaurant is very reasonably priced for the area. It was very good for children too, perfect for lunch before going to the natural history museum. The waitress was helpful with recommending a dish for my brother in law, and my sister really enjoyed it for her birthday meal. Thank you so much!
Lovely. We knew this as Da Spago but had not been for 18 months or so because out of area for while. Seems to have changed hands in interim. But food same, we were told same chef. Same decor. Same cheerful and pleasant service. So we were happy!
The veal shank special was almost entirely made up of bone. I literally got 5 bites of meat off it. To their credit Restaurant took 50% off at my request - However, I would have preferred a complete meal
Great food, lovely staff, pleasant ambiance - will definitely go again when next visiting the museums. Children, parents and the older generation all happy - not an easy accomplishment!
Service was excellent and the place was full of diners. The pizzas were fabulous and the price was very reasonable for a central London restaurant. Will definitely return.
Good family restaurant that will make.child size pizza's and offer pens and colouring books but not change facilities or full kids menu. a great alternative to chains and expensive south ken places.
A wonderful evening with great service, varied menu, lovely food and good sized portions. A relaxed atmosphere, we would definitely recommend it for any occasion
Wonderful service, pizza was so so so Good. Our friends had some pasta which was also very good too apparently. Highly recommend. Will return for sure
Good traditional Italian food. Pasta and Pappa Roma's special pizza (with a whole cheese!) were fantastic. Quick and friendly service great for pre Albert Hall concert.
Papa Roma - we loved it! Fab food, authentic Italian and very friendly attentive service. Can't fault it! We will definitely be back again 🍷🍝🍮❤️
The Staff were great, very attentive and polite. The food was delicious and the restaurant itself very clean, homely and welcoming. One could actually hold a conversation!!
