Pappa Roma

We had Excellent Food - on this occasion, we were not offered dessert which was a little frustrating - but will definitely go back. Highly Recommend.

Friendly service, good choice of Italian dishes including some nice specials. I had a well presented king prawn and courgette starter followed by a hearty rigatoni with aubergine. My friend had scampi followed by whole sea bream served with sweet potato and broccoli - healthy and light. Portions were generous.

Welcome was very chilly and improved only slightly from there. Almost all the wait staff seemed like they could care less if you stayed or not. The food is quite good and the atmosphere is decent. However I'd not return to such an unwelcoming place

Lovely friendly restaurant. Highly commended. Freshly cooked meals and great staff. First time here but will certainly come again. Perfect for our post Royal Albert Hall visit

Booked this place for surprise birthday meal before a show at the Royal Albert Hall. I mentioned to the staff in advance about the surprise and they were so helpful. The atmosphere was great, as was the food. I would definitely revisit!

Away from the busy streets a cosy restaurant with Excellent home cooked food, friendly atmosphere and great service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant but make sure you book

Friendly service, authentic Italian food, reasonably priced, and the 12.5% discretionary tip added to the bill can be removed upon request. Possibly a London thing, but we’re country folk from up north...

Lovely food,fresh ingredients., friendly staff . It was an Enjoyable experience! Easy access from South Kensington tube station. I would recommend Pappa Roma to anyone.

Fairly average pizza and service. Probably won't go back as it wasn't outstanding but on the plus side they were quite child friendly. Nothing bad but nothing great, just average.

Very good food and excellent service, friendly and efficient staff. Certainly a restaurant that we will return to in the future and would highly recommend

Friendly and efficient with delicious food. I would recommend it for a cosy dinner. Well placed for South Kensington and near the tube. Try it.

Excellent, friendly service and food. We sat on the patio out front for our meal as the restaurant was a little too warm inside. The starter of olives was very good. We enjoyed vegetarian pizza, spaghetti with prawns, four cheese gnocchi, lasagna, and wine. Everything was delicious, served in good time, and we found the bill reasonable for four persons, averaging about 25 pounds/person. We would happily return here.

We received friendly service with good food and drink, which was reasonably priced. Would return if in the area, although was quiet for a Friday lunchtime.

Attentive and likeable staff, great food and flavours . The waiter made good recommendations. All 3 of us enjoyed our different courses. My mushroom risotto was outstanding

Found this restaurant on Trip adviser for a location close to Royal Albert Hall. Quaint and intimate, the service and food were excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and we had a very enjoyable meal.

Great Italian restaurant with friendly service and good food. Good value and convenient location as close to South Ken station. Gets busy later in evening so make sure to book to secure a table.

LOvely food and very welcoming. Worth going to break away from the high street chains for something different and in my opinion better. Worth a try

This is the second time we have visited this restaurant. I would have given it six for the first time. However, we did not enjoy it so much this time. The waiting staff we unattentive to the point of being rude. When they did attend to our table, they did not understand what we were asking for on a couple of occations. The food itself was pretty good apart from the olives, which were salty to the point of being inedible. When we were there the first time, the olives were excellent.

Super dinner and a very friendly straff. Really enjoyed the food and service. The Pizza was fantastic and the pasta as in Italy. Well worth a visit 👌🌟👍

Excellent food and exceptional service. Hope to visit again soon and will be recommending to friends. A word of warning only have a starter if you are really really hungry 😋 pizzas fabulous but giant!

Quietly located away from the hustle and bustle of South Kensington, yet within a few minutes walk of the tube station, Pappa Roma's Italian Restaurant is a genuine, authentic experience of real Italian cuisine... My pizza base was typically rustic and clearly oven baked, without that sweetness of a Pizza Express pizza, where the dough has a one teaspoon measure of sugar added! The toppings on my "Primavera" were generous, and my side order of tomatoes were 100% Italian, so they were properly red, and tasted sweet, unlike the predominance of Dutch tomatoes preferred by the supermarkets... these Italian tomatoes were accompanied by red onions, and fresh basil. A glass of the Barbera was a perfect Italian red wine for my meal, and to finish, the cappuccino was suitably strong. The service was attentive, without being intrusive, the staff seemed happy, and were very helpful and patient with my group of diners. The price was reasonable, and I wish I could return sooner than September!!

Family friendly, proper Italian restaurant. We had a mix of starters, mains, pizzas and desserts. All were lovely. Will return next time we go to the Royal Albert Hall or Science Museum..

A very welcoming restaurant in the heart of Kensington. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. No rush to vacate the table at all. Complementary Limoncello was delish too.

Small friendly Italian restaurant, slightly off the main drag. My daughter and I loved our mains and starters, but hubby found his rather salty and just OK. So a mixed bag really.

We liked the atmosphere and the waiters were very friendly. My husband had the lasagna, which he loved. My spaghetti con pesto was a bit heavy on the salt. But the chocolate soufflé was to die for! All in all, a nice place worth visiting.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and lovely waiters. We visited for my mum's birthday for lunch on Bank Holiday Monday. The food is always too notch but the best thing has to be fact they have barrata on the menu, a cheese 🧀 I've not found outside of Italy. Fantastic neighbourhood restaurant.

I highly recommend this restaurant. My wife and I had a outstanding dinner. The lasagna was the best I have ever had. The atmosphere was great and the staff was awesome. This is the place for great food, great wine and a great atmosphere.

Friendly team, food was very good and service prompt - ideal for an early evening dinner if you're going to a concert up the street!

Always like popping into Papa Romas when visiting the Kensington area, once again well looked after by the staff, food excellent and meal finished off with a lovely cheese board.

The restaurant was almost empty even though it was a 12.45 pm booking for Sunday lunch. The waiters were attentive but the food was very mediocre.

Can't fault this place - love it! Staff, food, ambiance, service! Everything is spot on, and makes you feel like a valued customer. A restaurant as it should be!

Great space, as in space for the tables: enough room between tables - very important! Delicious home made pasta. And the Buratta was a feast. Good service as well. Your perfect Italian.

Great food and lovely people - we were in a rush and they were very helpful and accommodating bringing over our food as quick as possible we only wish we could have spent longer enjoying the amazing food!

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.

Fantastic food and lovely owner would highly recommend! Especially the pistachio cheesecake beautiful. You can definitely tell everyone of their dishes are freshly made. Will be going back again!

The restaurant is very cozy and very romantic. The staff was really friendly. My boyfriend liked his pizza very much, I had a clam pasta that was a bit salty and greasy.

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 .

Fab service, delicious food. More expensive than a normal chain Italian restaurant but much better quality. We are a very fussy family & no-one was disappointed!

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.

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.
