Cacciari's Portobello

Great place. Service is top level and the real italian food they prepare is excellent quality. I give 4 stars for the atmosphere only because the tables are quite small. The room is actually very cosy with red bricks and a romantic illustration. I like the layout. It's my taste and habit: I like some more comfort.

Very lovely NY style Italian ristorante. Beautiful decorated & pleasant music, really takes you to little Sicily in NY. We have ordered the fried squid - fresh, delicious, enough batter and not chewy at all. Cooked to perfection. The salmon tartar tasted weird, the design of the dish was fine, the avocado base was delicious but the tuna tasted a bit unusual, would not order it again. For main we ordered a ragu pasta on two plates - the best pasta I’ve ever had. The butter sauce and steak were so delicious. I would definitely recommend! The truffle white base pizza was brought together with the pasta which meant by the time we were eating it, it was cold. I didn’t like the texture cold but the cheese and truffle tasted nice. It was unusual but the shaved truffle didn’t have as much flavour as in other restaurants. We were pretty full and didn’t order dessert but because it was my birthday dinner the restaurant treated me to a slice of sponge cake. I didn’t eat the cake but it didn’t look inviting. I appreciate the gesture though! Excellent customer service, very lovely and attentive staff. Would recommend this restaurant.

One of the best place for birthday dinner! My boyfriend surprised me by taking me there. It was so bright and lively. All those bottles piled up and fancy lights above. There was a birthday card signed by staff on the table, which I find very impressive. The food was tasty and pasta was nice. You should book a table first as it was very busy. Even staff sometimes don't have attention to us because they are extremely busy

We only had a smoked ham pizza and a chicken Milanese and they were okay but could be better - pizza was burnt and with very little filling and chicken Milanese was dry, possibly prepared in advance and reheated. Service was very good but the atmosphere wasn’t helped by a steady stream of people picking up their orders. With so many nice Italian restaurants in London I don’t think we’ll be back to that one as it didn’t really stand out.

Fantastic, super-stylish local Italian restaurant in the heart of Notting Hill/Portobello with nice outdoor seating and absolutely delicious Italian food - their Melanzana Parmigiana is bellissima. Great lunch spot for people watching on a sunny Saturday. Highly recommended - we'll definitely be coming back soon

Absolutely fantastic! Criminally quiet here on weekdays... which makes it a great spot for a quiet dinner with the family! Be warned, the prices are on the higher side... but you get what you pay for. The food is excellent and full of flavour. The pasta is freshly made that day and it is delightful. The olive pate that came with the salmon was a particular highlight for me! The Italian speaking waitress was very helpful the entire time we were there. She recommended the crab pasta dish (pictured) and it was awesome. At the end of the meal I wanted to takeaway what we had left and she very helpfully packaged up everything for us into a neat bag (pictured). The decor inside the restaurant is very nice and I love all the little touches, such as the table lamps. The seats are very plush and very comfortable! Outside the restaurant there are some tables for two, which I imagine would make for some lovely summer night dinner dates. Looking forward to coming here more often!
