I went to Albertini with my mom for a lunch.
The interiors and decors of this place are very good and different. The food is very tasty. The staff is also very friendly.
I would highly recommend you guys to go to this place.
Very close to the British Library. Not much on the decor but they have a decent spread. Food and drinks with cask ales too. We ordered two jacket potatoes. One with pesto chicken and the other with prawns and avocado. Both tasted quite alright. And it was very filling too. Overall a nice experience as the price here is quite affordable.
We really enjoyed this lovely little spot. It’s not fancy (they have paper napkins) but the food it delicious. The atmosphere is pretty young and hip. We started with the calamari - it was light crispy and delicious. It’s served with fried zucchini fingers. The sauce was excellent. For mains, we had the SeaBass, which was to die for. Very buttery, flaky and delicious. It was served with rosemary potatoes that were pan roasted to perfection. We also had the lemon veal scaloppini served with spinach. The spinach was a highlight with Parmesan on top and the veal was very tasty, but a little tough. We paired the meal with our favorite Vermentino from Italy. We shared a Panna Cotta for dessert. Our waiter, Marcello, was so kind and was from one of our favorite spots in Sardinia. It was fabulous meal—highly recommend!

A good Italian restaurant. I had the nduja pasta and it was tasty but I wasn't blown away. Service was also good and speedy, there was just a little confusion over the menu at one stage which was quickly clarified by another member of staff. Nice cold beer served. Payment was efficient.
We ordered the bruschetta buffalo, gnocchi quattro formaggi, and margherita pizza. Everything was lovely. The gnocchi was very creamy and filling. Service was good - a waiter was stood nearby observing everyone in case someone needed something, and food was served promptly.
The best service and food! I was on vacation from Canada and the restaurant we wanted to go to was very occupied so Albertini's was the next closest. We walked in and were immediately greeted and told a table would be available in 5 minutes. Got a drink at the bar and were seated very shortly after. The service from us walking in to walking out was exceptional! The staff took very good care of us. The food was also incredible. I have never had a pizza so fantastic! I have been back from holiday for 2 weeks and can still remember that pizza! Highly highly recommend this restaurant!!
I have eaten here so many times and I keep going back! It’s the best Italian food that you’ll taste in London. The carbonara is to die for. Plus, the staff are excellent! Couldn’t ask for a better place to eat Italian food, thank you!
We managed to get a table at 6.30pm on a Friday even although they were pretty much booked up. Sat outside as it was cooler and quieter. Wide choice of Italian food. We had veal with lemon sauce, grilled Mediterranean veg and skin-on fries, all with House white wine. Excellent food, attentive waiters and friendly atmosphere. No pressure to hurry up so they could re-use the table.
Classic relaxed Italian restaurant. Our pizza’s were classic Italian, as was the antipasto. Nothing too fancy, but good fresh ingredients prepared/cooked perfectly.
Very good wine list too.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back again and as they have been there since 2006, we feel confident they will still be there.
On a long weekend visit to London, came across this Italian restaurant. Food was stunning and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.
A short walk from The British Library. They had plenty of indoor seating with air conditioning during the heatwave. The place is clean. The staff greeted us and seated us promptly. It smelled so delicious as we walked past the kitchen where you can see the food prepared. The menu looked delicious! We decided to order the olives and bread appetizer and a pizza to share. We had cool tap water to drink. The quality of the food was excellent, fresh, satisfying. Extra virgin olive oil drizzled on two fresh bread slices came with a clay pot of olives. The pizza was made with fresh mozzarella, artichokes, red onion and a spicy sausage all balanced together without overwhelming. We took away 2 slices we couldn't finish. We also shared a fancy dessert of a hazelnut and chocolate ice cream at the top of the dessert menu. There were a few others eating here as we were after 1pm for lunch. We were pleased with the space, the food, the quiet street and great location!
Over all, TOP NOTCH service! Quick and kind staff. Food is amazing. Glad I came here for dinner. Would definitely come again!
