    Veal piccata
    Mary B.

    Very good pasta and veal piccata. Salad was decent. Nice clean, busy place. Servers rushed our order even though it was not that busy. Otherwise all was good.

    Bottom line: if you can get past some of the quirks in the service, you'll be fine. Also, stick to signature dishes and don't stray too far off the menu. I ordered the minestrone soup, the rigatoni broccoli dish, and for desert , I ordered the apple pie with ice cream. The minestrone has a clear watery vegetable base, and tasted like vegetable medley soup. In America , usually it's like a tomato bean base with a few noodles in it with veggies . Wasn't the most memorable dish. Needed more salt and was kind of bland. 2/5 Italian rigatoni broccoli: came out cold. I actually told my waiter to heat it a bit more. He was not happy to here this news. I don't know if he was upset with me or his kitchen or both. But I do know upon realization, his humiliation manifested in how he shortly treated me thereafter . Heated up , this dish was delicious. Gravy was on the richer side (might be vodka sauce variant) but this is the type of Italian food I can see as in the conversation in the best of for London. 4.5/5 Desert menu was brought to me. I was undecided, so I let my waiter know i required some more time. He literally came back in about 20 seconds and sarcastically told me 'making progress'? And it was with this comment that made me realize he was irritated or annoyed that I compelled him to remake the pasta dish. Yeah, how dare an American tell you to serve pasta hot instead of cold. Forgive me father for I have sinned. The apple pie I ordered was very small. The crust was super soft like bread. It also was cold when it should be slightly heated. Wasn't my favorite thing, and for nearly 8 pounds, you should order another item off the desert menu. 2/5 stars I'm giving this an overall score of 3/5 even though this place deserves 2/5 when you factor in how I was treated by the waiter after pointing out a flaw in my pasta dish .

    I didn't understand only 4.1 stars for Bizzarro soon I scanned the reviews, and I do see what dinner people mean. This is a very popular and just restaurant. They have seatings on main floor and also in basement. The staff we had were very pleasant and knowledgeable but they hustle the entire time we were there. Thus there were sometimes a bit if a wait. It has a family restaurant feel at heart, but at a larger scale That said, I think the gross now than made up for it. From the pizzas to the pasta's to the desserts, they were all so good I had the carbonara and it was creamy without being overwhelmingly rich. I also loved my son's garlic pasta with olive oil. And you have to try the house make tiramisu for dessert - so light and flavorful. Many tiramisu I've had are more on the heavy size, but not this one. It's so light yet retains all of the traditional textures and flavor of tiramisu. Magnifico! If you're on London and happen to be close to Bizzarro, it's a can't miss dining experience....just expect it to be busy

    Good quality Italian food, but the service made this place memorably outstanding. Ivan was the most wonderful server -- friendly and nice, explaining the variety of dishes, helping us make the best choices, showing us how to make some of the dishes better with the toppings, and even chatting with us about where to go in Italy. Lamb chops and veal were super tender. Chicken piccata was perfectly breaded. The lemon dessert was probably my favorite but though -- and I'm not usually a huge dessert person. I would come back just for that.

    Great service and no skimping on meal portions! Wonderful atmosphere to meet with friends for dinner.

    One star off because we had subterranean seating and service was a little slow. Super, super busy - is the entire city of London like this? Food was wonderful - we shared pasta olio y aglio and a margherita pizza with a half carafe of wine. Would come back again only earlier in the evening.

    Great Italian food in the heart of Paddington. The service was nice and friendly and the restaurant was busy after work let out. The reason for a 4 star review rather than 5 was that I felt like we were upsold for things that weren't necessary but we weren't aware we were being upsold until the bill came. Overall I would recommend

    Was here on sunday May 19th 2024.. great ambiance, good food and good price! Would definitely come back when i am in London again

    Anchovies
    Stephen C.

    TL;DR: Affordable, good enough Italian food in low key / casual environment with quick, curt service. Good in a pinch but not a top choice. Checked out this place as it was open late and one of the ones with the best reviews in the area. Food is reasonably priced at 5-10 quid per appetizer and 10-15 quid pastas and pizzas. Tried the soup of the day (cream based, kind of bland) and the anchovies (much bigger and tastier than I expected!). Also got a carbonara (bland but good size with the +1 quid meal size) and pizza with anchovies (good enough, not amazing). Overall very good portions but more quality than quantity. Ambiance is casual (no elegance here). Service was attentive (could flag down people at any time) and a bit "whaddaya want" and "everything is good - you pick" standoffish.

    We had a beautiful and delicious dinner at Bizzarro. My husband got the lamb shank and I got the breaded chicken with spaghetti. We each had the house wine and started with the minestrone soups and mussels. Gosh everything was delicious! The soup is super delicious with lots of vegetables. The house wine is so yummy and smooth. The mussels had a delicious red sauce that was chunky and garlicky. We ended with a dessert ice cream covered in chocolate powder (tartufo) that was heavenly!

My mom is, which is why we went but there are rather limited options, at least on pasta courses, that don't include pecorino. 2 - we tried three different pasta dishes. What made them truly stand out was the freshness of the pasta. That said, the sauces weren't remarkable. I tried a special pasta with pecorino, butternut squash, and mushrooms which was nice and not heavy but not partial flavorful. 3 - the ambiance is great if you like a small restaurant- with maybe 10 tables and 500 sq ft of space, this restaurant has character and charm. 4 - the service was outstanding. The staff were kind and efficient. 5 - the dessert was just OK - had some scoops of ice cream and the peanutella was outstanding while the strawberry and the pistachio were just fine. 6 - the appetizer cheese plate was the real highlight of the night here. Fresh cold cuts and cheese with the most wonderful fig jam. All in all; this is a good stop and you certainly won't have a bad experience! Perhaps just not the most notable.

We came across this place and had a preview of their menu. When we saw food we would like to try we walked in. We were sat almost immediately. It was a little slow when we first arrived but soon picked up. The staff was super friendly and the place gave a quaint home like feel. We sat down and ordered some cocktails and water. We didn't want to stuff ourselves so we order the margarita pizza and an order of fries to share. Everything came out pretty quickly. We were offered a spicy oil for our meal. The guy said it was spice but to be honest it was on the more mild side of spicy. I like spicy food and this wasn't spicy enough for me. Maybe some chili pepper flakes mixed in what have been the spicy I was expecting. My friend and I enjoyed our meal and the service. I think everything was good. The reason for my four stars was because the basil (although fresh) was scarce in my pizza. The guy also had to substitute the drink we ordered with a syrup he had in stock because the one the drink calls for wasn't available. Also, who wants to pay £4 for a bottle of water to share. Crazy. Other then those small criticisms I would come back. I think it's worth coming back to. Give them a try and judge for yourself. My tastebuds and stomach were very happy.

    Excellent dinner. Thank you Giancarlo and staff…read more We booked the dinner through The Fork app and sent a message earlier in the day about our kids, allergies to eggs and nuts. Giancarlo responded via email to let us know what pastors and pizza did not have eggs. We were able to order, spaghetti, rigatoni, and any pizza. We really appreciated the early notice. We each ordered a pasta or a pizza, and also split lamb chops at the table. Everything was yummy. The kids ordered the spaghetti all'Amatriciana, Rigatoni alla Genovese, and the Diavola pizza. They all finished their healthy sized portions (especially the pizza) and joked with the wait staff about the amount of Parmesan that our youngest had on his pasta. My wife had the Gnocchi con Nduja e Salsicca (which was so good! And she didn't finish and we brought some home) and I had the Margherita pizza with some of the Lamb Chops. The pizza was a little more doughy than we thought it would be, but it was unique and so flavourful! My eldest som even had a bite. The Lamb Chops smelled and tasted amazing, just the perfect amount of char grill on it. All the staff were friendly. The waitress working the desserts was prepping them right beside our table. That convinced us to get three desserts to share. We had the Gelati, the Belgium Apple Flan, and the After Dinner Mint. Our youngest licked the Mint dessert clean, loved it. The wafers in the Gelati may have had eggs so the allergy free folks in our group ate them. Everything was scrumptious. Great spot, great ambience, and really friendly staff. This place was steady, and it looked like there were a number of locals who frequent the spot. That doesn't surprise him because everything but the spirits was just excellent. Thank you so much to the staff for a wonderful night.
