Since we moved to Kensington five years ago, we have regularly been going to the nearby Italian restaurant Locanda Ottoemezzo . It’s a favorite of ours to go for special dinners or to just enjoy a consistently great meal. Locanda Ottoemezzo is located on the quiet Thackeray Street, a couple of blocks away from the busy retail hub of High Street Kensington and around the corner from the Whole Foods Market. The restaurant is spread across two floors. The more dimly lit downstairs area has some quiet corners to enjoy a romantic meal. For starters, my husband ordered pan fried scallops on top of a puree of celeriac and vanilla and topped with tomatoes confit and purple potatoes crisps. I had a spinach salad with goat cheese, a cranberry sauce and delicious toasted walnuts. This wasn’t my favorite starter though, to be honest. For my main, however, I went with my favorite dish which is always a winner – but should probably be shared with at least one other person as it’s a lot to take on al
Been here several times, and always had an amazing time. You can enjoy a really tasty sandwich or a delicious pizza for a quick meal, and it's not expensive at all; or you can have a fabulous dinner in a cozy location, enjoying real Italian food with best quality ingredients and lovely presentation, drinking amazing wines. Must try the Risotto with Parmesan.
Perfect for special/romantic occasions. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it. Coffee and Desserts are also very good (Must try Tiramisu or Nemesis Cake). Staff really helpful and friendly, chefs accommodating.
Great Italian restaurant! Best risotto I have had in my life and the rest is just to die for!great staff! Lovely even for lunch!
Great location for this quirky Italian restaurant, inspired by old Italian movies. The food we ordered was excellent. The portions of the appetisers were small compared to the main pasta dish but that’s to be expected for in any Italian restaurant. Service was quick and really helpful. The waiter provided us suggestions from the Monday menu and what we ordered was indeed delicious. The Jerusalem artichoke and the beef carpaccio were delicious. The paccheri with ragù were delicious and abundant. They serve you freshly baked focaccia and Italian olive oil as soon as you seat. The dessert were also proposed as traditional Italian desserts but with a twist. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quality restaurant off the high street.
We had the best italian dinner in London. We could feel the love in their food and their service!
Hope to come back some day!
Our waiter AJ was very friendly and had a great sense of humour! We were a group of 9 & couldn't fault his level of service or attentiveness. The restaurant itself is a gem and I'd recommend taking some time to admire all the quirky little arts which have been placed all around (incl. facilities). Great atmosphere. The food! Everything we've ordered were done to perfection, I'd probably say all but the steak - although it's an English Olive fed Wagyu so it was still top marks!
The owner/manager as well as the main waiter are very professional- solicitous without being intrusive and friendly without being familiar. The restaurant is quirky in that it is divided into small rooms which keeps the noise down and has a charming atmosphere. The food is excellent if slightly on the expensive side and the markup on the wine is high but perhaps that’s what they need to charge these days for a restaurant in an expensive area of London. All in all, a very pleasant and satisfactory experience. Will definitely go again.
I took my wife here for her birthday just recently and the food and service was phenomenal. Everything we ordered was delicious. I had the Jerusalem artichokes with truffle and Parmesan crisps as a starter and I highly recommend. For a main I had linguine with Devon crab. My wife had a blue fin tuna as a starter and seafood pasta with black squid ink. Both amazing.
The service from the warm and friendly Italian gentleman who waited our table I can’t appreciate enough. When he brought dessert he also brought a little portable record player to the table with Happy Birthday playing as he knew it was my wife’s birthday. Thank-you!
Love the decor inside.
Great place for a date.
Yummy authentic Italian food! Their pizza’s are delicious! Definitely a hidden gem!
I came (to the cafe) for the pizza, and could have stayed all day for the vibe.
Very relaxed, quiet, friendly ... perfect place to enjoy perfect pizza crust and very good food across the menu.
A beautiful, outstanding, delicious place to eat. Ran by people who are true with what is available and understand ll you need to know to ensure each visit is unique and fulfilling. The food is varied and all on offer has a miraculous taste. Drinks are plentiful whatever you choose and the service in no way can be faltered. This is a restaurant I look forward to coming back to many more times, indefinitely!
Had Dinner with my husband in Locanda Ottoemezzo, love the vibe in here. Pasta was good and the dessert was amazing.
Love this place. Superb food. Quirky and individualistic. Has a great vibe to it. London has so many good restaurants that we can try a different place each time we visit, however we will make a point of returning here because we like everything about it.
