I recently came here for lunch and I really enjoyed the concept of getting to put together your own plate. The portion was very generous and the price was good. The food was good. I enjoyed the very homemade, grandmas cooking and eating in her living room sort of vibe.
The only thing I will say is that the staff was a little grumpy, not necessarily rude but perhaps a little bit in a bad mood.
Godly food. The pasta, with minimum ingredients, tasted out of this world. So did the veggies and cannoli. You can clearly tell they care about quality of ingredients. The best Italian I had outside of Italy, hands down. On top of that, very affordable, with amazing service and ambiance. I'd be having food there every other week if I lived nearby!
Owner Katerina is angel. Delicious siciliano dishes. Homely vibes. Basically genuine people serving genuine food. Parking lots available along not so busy road. I have no idea where the steady stream of customers come from ❤️❤️❤️❤️

5 stars for thé kindness and the sweet atmosphere that bring this very simple but very nice Sicilian restaurznt.
You order in a kind of buffet, simple but wonderful and fresh food. Sicilian specialities. Everything is tasty. The two owners are so sweet and polite. That’s the perfect place for a great simple good lunch.
I loved the lemon cake ! I would love to have the receipt or the name of the cake 🤩🥰 it was a Wonder !
And last but not least, they organise some meals donation for people in need, which bring humanity in this place !
You should anyway come and have a look by yourself.
Delicious food, huge portion, super friendly owners & staff. Perfect!
FYI: pasta only from 1230 HR onwards !!
the warmest, homeliest restaurant ❤️❤️ the first time i came with 3 friends we had no idea what or how to order and the owner was so sweet ❤️ she helped us and told us what was good to get, and even gave us cod fish on the house 😗❤️
came once again with my parents and the food was still as good and the owners are still just as lovely
Tasty, authentic food at very reasonable prices. Casual, relaxed setting. In unguarded moments you might think you are in Sicily :) The lady at the till runs a tight ship. Had the ragu, it was amazing.
Panella is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to, run by the loveliest people who cook homely Sicilian cuisine. It’s truly a hidden gem. Prices are affordable and portions are huge, more importantly, the food was incredible. Menu changes everyday depending on the chef - when I went I had the best gnocchi as well as their speciality - panella and caponata. They also serve the best coffee, strong just like how it is in Italy. I will definitely be back. 6 stars.
Pro tip: Go early if u want to beat the lunch crowd!
Visited twice. The food is good. The service basic. The atmosphere non existent. But, they need to be congratulated as they pride themselves of serving gree meals to the community.
A real London gem - an amazing choice of fresh, delicious, authentic Italian food made with love and soul. The garlic green bean salad is incredible.
Caterina is always friendly and helpful, suggesting new things to try from their amazing selection.
Don’t be put off by a queue at the door on a busy lunch time, it moves pretty fast and 10-15 mins is worth the wait!
