Pentolina

We had a fantastic dinner on Nov 1, 2023 at Pentolina. We were seated downstairs, right at the back in a semi private alcove. We were served by a young man and lady and they were extremely helpful and efficient - wish we knew their names! My scallop pasta was divine and the hubby enjoyed his rabbit ragu pasta. Pasta was definitely home-made. The prices are also quite reasonable. We’re only visiting and wished we knew the restaurant earlier in our trip. A real Italian gem of a place!

Great little surprise in the Olympia- Hammersmith area. Off the main roads, in a really quiet little neighbourhood. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming. They have the ground floor and the basement floor. Lovely decorations. Lots of vintage pieces. The menu is simple but full of choices. They accommodate for vegans and gluten free. We ordered a starter and a main. Portions were pretty good and the dishes were cooked to perfection. Quick service and lovely staff. I recommend you book in advance if you have a date or the family to invite.

Pentolina serves authentic Italian cuisine, and their commitment to quality ingredients and traditional recipes shines through in every dish. The menu offers a diverse range of options, from classic pasta dishes to mouthwatering pizzas and delectable seafood. I started my meal with the Caprese salad, and I was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. The tomatoes were ripe and flavorful, the mozzarella was creamy, and the basil added a delightful herbaceous note. For the main course, I opted for their signature pasta dish, the Tagliatelle Bolognese. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, and the rich and hearty Bolognese sauce was a true delight. Each bite was packed with layers of flavor that reminded me of the traditional dishes I've enjoyed in Italy.

Stunning little Italian restaurant in between Hammersmith & Kensington. I had the pasta with crab, which was delicious and full of flavour. The waitress was very friendly and helped to recommend a wine to us. You get warm bread with olive oil/balsamic whilst you wait for your food, which was a nice treat. Highly recommend and would visit again!

Great restaurant for a couple’s Valentine’s date. Complimentary olives and bread provided, as well as a stylish and cosy front room. The Insalata da Finocchi was incredible as a starter, and the egg pappardelle was very well cooked with a tender duck ragout. Sometimes the service was a bit slow to refill drinks, but that was the only issue I had. Definitely recommend.
