The Bartoli Gallery

The art of the pizzaiolo – the true Neapolitan pizza chef – is seldom so ably represented than at North Kensington’s The Bartoli Gallery. Here, only native Italian pizza makers get to ply their trade, making this Barlby Road pizzeria one of the best in London. Besides flying the tricolour flag for Naples’ most famous culinary export, The Bartoli Gallery also functions as a traditional Italian wine bar, offering authentic Italian (and global) wines, classic cocktails and perfect aperitifs and digestifs. As a club, The Bartoli Gallery transforms the Pall Mall Deposit into a buzzing nightspot, ideal for a spontaneous party or private hire.

Within shouting distance of Portobello Market, The Bartoli Gallery takes prime position among the various businesses and venues in the famous Pall Mall Deposit as one of west London’s best Italian restaurants. The signature dish at this Barlby Road eatery is without a doubt their authentic Neapolitan pizza. Prepared by expert pizzaiolo in a traditional wood-fired stone oven, these pies are the real deal – pancetta, salami, pepperoni, fior di latte mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, taleggio, truffle oil, Vesuvius cherry tomatoes, and, of course, extra virgin olive oil are just some of the fresh and all-natural ingredients that go into Kensington’s favourite pizzas. But pizza is far from the end of what’s on offer at The Bartoli Gallery.

With the help and careful eye of Gianluca Bartoli, this north Kensington Italian pizzeria has become synonymous with Italian style in west London. Occupying premises in the Pall Mall Deposit down Barlby Road, The Bartoli Gallery matches its authentic pizza and antipasti with a chic wine bar and nightclub. Bartoli’s resident mixologists are, like the pizza chefs, masters of their craft, capable of whipping up anything from simple Italian classics like the Negroni, Bellini, Campari and Aperol spritzes to innovative, bespoke mixes that are as yet unnamed and untasted. The ethos at The Bartoli Gallery’s wine bar extends to the club, which is fast becoming a hotspot among London’s party set. From authentic pizza, to superlative wines and beverages, to late night party spot, The Bartoli Gallery has la dolce vita down pat.
