Conchiglia

I feel like we went to Italy for 3 hours 😍 we've stumbled upon this gem by accident and happened to get the lunch combo with two 2 liters aperol spritzs (to those complaining about it tasting "diluted", please have a shift or two behind the bar to understand how such large quantity in one glass affects flavour, I actually watched the bartender measure correct amount of booze to make over 4 regular spritzers). The pizza was crunchy and delicious, i never eat the rim but I absolutely devoured the whole plate. The gentleman, who I assume is the owner, was so welcoming and kind; we sat outside even though it's really chilly right now, the heaters really warmed us up and we ended up staying for 3 hours longer than we were meant to. Coming back for sure!!!

Like everyone else, I spotted this place on Instagram/ Tik Tok, totally drawn in by the pasta platter and 2 litre aperol. I hadn't done too much research before trying but it seemed nice. It was a shame there was scaffolding over the restaurant and road works going on outside so was very noisy. Service wasn't that great I must admit, the pasta platter looked small but was really tasty and definitely fills you up. We were told the pasta is made fresh in their kitchen and that all the ingredients are sent to London from Italy within 24 hours. The aperol spritz yes it is mostly soda water but still worth getting for the fun of it. I definitely felt like I'd had a drink or 2 after leaving today! The toilets were so small. For womens cubicles my knees were touching the door. We will never know how truly authentic it is but all in all I would go back. Would like to try different pastas and give the pizza a go.

The place is overall okay. The food has fresh ingredients which you can definitely feel. Pizza Siciliana was really delicious but unfortunately extremely salty, maybe they should reconsider the type of capers they are using again or readjust the amount. Pasta’s were pretty good when you compare to other Italian restaurants. We really loved the bruschetta and the fried squid 🦑 Service quality is something really needs to be improved unfortunately. People are really all over and looks like they don’t have information about each other. If they consider the reviews in here they really have the potential of being number 1 Italian restaurant in the city. Cheers 🥂

Conchiglia is a nice Italian restaurant that surprised me in a good way. The place is nice and reminds my last visit to Italy. The owner is a nice guy, very chatty and helpful. Still, he was inclined to make our group choose pasta over pizza, as he mentioned pizza would delay our service. Who knows. The pasta was worth every penny. It is cheap in cost but rich in flavour. Tomato sauce was freshly made, and I can remember the lovely smell of it. All ingredients seem fresh and very tasty. I will return for more pasta =)

So I went in this restaurant Saturday evening with my friends and really love it ! The staff was amazing and was working really hard all night as it was busy ! I got some appetisers and the 2L Aperol spritz which was so nice and delicious! The price was fair and I would definitely come back for more ! Thanks for the lovely evening !
