Probably the best Italian food I have had in the UK. Went for the rigatoni pasta, was cooked to perfection and the flavours were incredible. Finished off with the perfect tiramisu, and a lovely bottle of red wine. Couldn't recommend more for an authentic Italian in a beautiful setting!
Pizza was amazing, staff were attentive and nice, prices were reasonable, the decor was splendid, tucked away on Notting hill market provides a quaint area for a meal and some chill from the hustle and bustle of the markets. The food was heavenly, freshly made and worth a trip back for. 11/10 very recommended.
I ate in the rustic part the other side, it was absolutely fantastic and for me a memorable experience enjoying some of my favourite food! Lovely staff, vibe and atmosphere, and such an appetising menu! The veg platter which we shared a side was one of the best veg dishes I've ever eaten, just so much variety, and just so perfectly cooked, every single element on the plate right down to slices of carrot with a perfect bite left to them. My norma rigatoni was full of flavour and rich with olive oil, I loved it. It's not cheap (though not overpriced) but it's worth it when it's like this, it was all just so uplifting and delightful, I cannot wait to visit again really soon.
What a fantastic authentic place ...love it, will be back again for sure, don't miss it you will not get better quality food for sure
I had the best dinner with my friends!! It was our first time there and it was everything lovely! The food amazing and also the staff! :)
The best Italian food I've tasted anywhere. It was my son's birthday and the staff were lovely and accommodating. There were 8 of us including 2 little children and they were so helpful and supportive.

Thank you for a great evening I had with my parents! The food was to die for AGAIN and staff were very friendly. The menu has a lot of options for everyone omnivore or vegetarian. I booked a table by calling them earlier the same day. But you can also easily get a table without booking.
First we had ”il tagliere salumi misti e formaggi” which was perfect size to share between 2-3 people as a starter, a delicious mix of different meats and cheese. As a main we had one of the daily specials, Pappardelle Al Coniglio, rabbit ragu which came highly recommended by the waiter. A generous portion with plenty of flavour. I hope I will find this dish on the menu again or if not it will definitely be a sweet memory, one for the books.
I’ve been taking my friends and family members to this restaurant for years because it has never disappointed. Great place for lunch or dinner. Seafood pastas are also great! Pizzas all of them have been delicious every time.
The food is same level or even better than what I’ve had in Naples. But here you always get very friendly service - in Naples not so much! Lol 😄
We all had 3 cocktails, 3 courses and shared 2 bottles of wine, came to 80 pounds pp. Good price for the quality and portion sizes and attentive service.
Lots of love to all the staff x

I'll write a full review soon, but this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to in my life. Absolutely divine, beautiful, fresh, rustic dishes with so much flavour, so much seasoning, so many herbs. This is a delightful place!
Very charming little Italian on Portobello road with friendly staff, a jolly vibe, and excellent pasta. Pro tip: ask for the specials of the day, they tend to be.. well, special. We had the portobello mushroom pasta and the lobster pasta, both delicious.
- The portobello mushroom pasta: very buttery and flavorful, those mushrooms are so delicate but at the same time satisfying. I don’t know what went into the seasoning and the sauce but it all works.
- The Lobster pasta: Saporitalia went for the big guns here. I suddenly see in front of me a giant lobster on a plate, with some pasta underneath. The pasta was good, but the lobster was definitely the star of the show. The meat was fresh and juicy, and combined really well with the rest of the dish. Some of the best lobster I’ve had in London.
I have to say, we have concluded that this is the best meal in an Italian restaurant that we have had in London/outside of Italy. Our food was absolutely outstanding, so full of flavour and very clearly full of high-quality ingredients, including the most beautiful, fresh seafood. I was blown away by the seafood, actually! I usually struggle to find restaurants that ensure good quality and fresh seafood but Saporitalia pulled out all the stops. We loved our dishes - baked aubergine and mussel soup for starter, then the truffle pasta and seafood linguini. So rich in flavour, we were genuinely so impressed and enjoyed every last morsel! The staff were lovely and the service was so friendly with an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming, and there was a lovely feel about the wooden interior. Absolutely will be back!
