Such a great experience; all of it, the food, the staff, the ambiance. You know an Italian restaurant is going to be great, when many of the employees are Italian. Families, dates, friends, a big mix of people here. Birthday celebrations are lively and sweet with a flame, tiramisu & a song...every sings along. The bread, the cheese, the olive oil, the tomatoes on the bruschetta; everything g tastes like my summer in Florence. Bellissimo! read more

La Mia Mamma - Flaming birthday tiramisu - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

What an awesome concept! They have different locations and they bring the "Mama's" in from Italy. Each location has a different menu, depending on where the mamas are from. Some of the mamas stay on location, but always at least one rotates. You feel like you into a small family owned restaurant in Italy. So welcoming, inviting, just good vibes all around. The Parmesan de melanzane was a delicious appetizer, and so was the charcuterie even though my picture did not do it justice. Everything comes out together with perfect timing. You see the pasta being made. The service is excellent. Depending on the pasta, you order it comes out in the pan it was cooked in. The short rib was fall off the bone! But I believe the overall winner was the Bigolo Cacio a Pepe with sausage added. Definitely go to the gym beforehand. But what an incredible dish. And to finish it off when you order tiramisu, an Italian grandma comes out with the dish It was baked in and spoons it on your plate. You legitimately feel like you are in their home. What a concept, wish they would bring this to the states. read more

This place is a must in London! Not only wad the food amazing, but the staff was over the top in making this dining experience one to remember! Stefano was very attentive to us, (and hilarious) and gave us great recommendations in both drinks and food, as well as the other various people, like Frederico, that helped us with everything too. It's very quaint inside but the ambiance itself is so amazing it makes you feel like you're in Italy. The mammas brought around things for us to try and brought an array of desserts at the end of our meal. Super vegan friendly as well and everything was so tasty! Limoncello was great & so were the espresso martinis. 100/10 all around (: I highly recommend if you're in the area (make a reservation as it gets busy!) read more

Our family visited on NYE for what should have been a celebratory evening. From the street, the restaurant is quite inviting. Cute decor, soft lighting, etc. but the vibe seemed off from the start. Chaotic and noisy (granted it was NYE, so to some degree expected) but random music changes, mic feedback, and one-verse karaoke performed by staff was absolutely bizarre. Several erratic amendments to an established, prearranged menu created an atmosphere of confusion. I'm assuming it was the barnyard-tasting mussels that have completely derailed our London experience. Violent sickness has ripped through our apartment rendering the four of us incapacitated and unable to participate in our scheduled, non-refundable outings to Westminster, National Gallery, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Notting Hill. I will mercifully spare you the details. Too many alternatives in the Chelsea area to waste your time and money dining here. I will state that aside from this particular experience, our time in London has been wonderful. Chelsea is a delight and I cannot recommend the area enough, just not this establishment. Stanley Tucci would be embarrassed. read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS. If you are visiting Notting Hill around lunch or dinner time, you must stop for a bite. Right around the corner from the Notting Hill Book Shop. The pizza with the truffles was devine as well as the pasta with pistachio. read more

Lovely and cozy, with way more tables than the store front suggests. We sat at a bar where I watched one of mothers put tiramisu into glasses, then make a batch of bread, which alone makes this place worth eating at. We tried potato and sausage pizza, delicious!! read more

La Mia Momma on Hollywood Road was visited by Stanley Tucci as part of his show on Italian cooking. This episode focused on Italian food in London. This restaurant is in the Earl's Court area or the West Brompton area of London and is in a great residential area with a number of other restaurants. The food here is great. And the ambiance is lively for a relatively small restaurant. But go for the food - it's delicious! We had excellent pasta with great sauces. Very good delicious Italian food. read more

I loved the food. I liked all the staff. I absolutely HATED the ambience. Mass chaos. The loudest place I have the displeasure to endure. My ears hours later are still ringing from the noise assault. We were seated at a minuscule table right by the entrance on the main passage way. Right next to the staircase for the lower level dining room. We were constantly being bumped and shoved during our 90 minute meal. The tables next to ours on the side and behind me were less than 18 inches away. If you are seated at this area just get up and leave. It will be impossible to enjoy your meal. There are dozens of eateries within 100 yards of this place. Go to one of those. read more

The website says they don't take reservations for parties under four but pretty much everyone that can in had them. We were the first customers for the dinner service and we're glad we got there when we did. It took awhile to actually get seated, which was odd as we were the only customers. We did a dinner special of a glass of Prosecco, a share appetizer as individual mains at 45£ per person. We had an issue with the appetizer and the staff took care of it. The shared desert was four different treats and the coffee mousse was incredible. Hands down the best on the plate of great treats. It's a bit of a hike from the nearest underground station (South Kensington) but the food was good and plentiful. read more

We went to this spot based on the Stanley Tucci series, and were happy to snag reservations. We were seated downstairs in a cozy basement, which has a great vibe. Our servers were amazing, one person with 1 assistant handled 30 plus guests. We never waited for anything, we asked and it was delivered. We got the fixed menu, and started with our glass of Prosecco, followed but our drinks of choice and our anti-pasta.The drinks were great, the anti-pasta,was only ok. It was an odd mix of things with no bread to dip into the liquids or anything like that. As a matter of fact every other table got Bruschetta but we didn't. We probably would have liked that more. On to our dinner, I had the cacio e pepe,which was very good but almost to cheesy compared to that I've had in Italy many times. My partner had the Carbonara, he didn't care for it. The pasta was too Al dente for him (I know, I know) and it was pretty dry especially compared to mine. The deserts were tasty, as was the espresso and the Limoncello was excellent ! All in all we were glad we went, but probably wouldn't go back. Oh and btw, the Mama who was working in the front window was an absolute doll ! read more

This place was a great experience. I made the reservations before I realized that Stanley Tucci recommended the place, and was excited about dining there. Cute and cozy, on Kings Road in Chelsea, this place did not disappoint. So the concept is that they bring in "mammas" from different regions in Italy to cook their favorite dishes. We went with the Aperol spritz, antipasti to share and pasta combo. The spritz was delicious, but the antipasti was the only disappointment of the night. It seemed as if it was a bunch of cold "left overs" and we barely made a dent in it. Unappetizing, so minus one star. But boy, was the pasta delicious! I had the Bigoli Caceo e Pepe and is was scrumptious! My husband had the Ziti all Genovese and loved it. We finished with a shot of Lemoncello, which was perfect. Next time we won't get the antipasti platter. read more

We had one of the best meals while in London! Gianpier Lanzilotti was fabulous, the Mama's were incredible and the food was outstanding!!! Thanks to the Stanley Tucci's show we found this gem. The wait staff went above and beyond, made great suggestions and helped us share the wine we ordered. We even sent wine over to the Mama's while they were cooking in the front window. If in London, this a must go to restaurant. read more

We saw it on Stanley Tucci's program and had to visit. There are currently three in Lonon. Each one specializes in a different region of Italy. The Chelsea location was preparing dishes found in Lazio. We asked the waiter to arrange our courses and wine as a surprise and he did a great job. The antipasti, pasta and meat courses were all flavorful and very generous. Give yourself an evening to enjoy the full menu. The dessert was also wonderful. The entire experience was so rewarding, that we visited the Notting Hill location before leaving London. read more

Great decor, friendly atmosphere. Wait staff very attentive and food was so fresh and DELICIOUS!

What a charming place! We heard of this place from Stanley Tucci and boy, did this place NOT disappoint. We had no reservations but they gave us choice to wait or sit at the bar. We ordered two pastas, one with meatballs and the other with broccoli and sausage. The pasta comes in little steel pans and they plop it straight in front of you. The wine and pistachio tiramisu were outstanding and the entertainment amazing!!! read more

I stopped by for dinner on a Friday night and managed to grab seats at the bar around 7pm without a reservation. My friend and I both opted for the fixed menu which came with a healthy assortment of appetizers, pasta, drinks, and dessert. The chef selects the appetizers and everything tasted amazing. The pasta though was the real highlight though. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. We opted for the cacio e pepe and alla norma, both of which I'd highly recommend. There were also some birthday celebrations and the even the nonnas come out to drop off the dessert at the table. I'd highly recommend this spot for any upcoming birthdays. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other pastas and mains. read more

Mama greeted us on arrival and made us feel like we were dining in her home. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We decided to share the price fix menu that included aperol splits, a large appetizer of a pasta, main course, coffee & desert. Needles to say we didn't leave hungry. Mama was in the kitchen preparing fresh making fresh pasta slices for her chef. This dining experience made us feel like we were in Italy instead of London. read more

This was AWESOME. The service was excellent. We ordered the set menu, and we tried so many new things. The whole family was over the moon at this experience. The region this visit was Lazio - Roman pastas that featured guanciale. We loved them all. I can't recommend this enough! I saw some reviews that said the pasta was "undercooked." It's house-made pasta cooked al dente. It was perfect. What a special night! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience. Thank you Stanley Tucci for the recommendation. The antipasti was not what I expected. It was a varied array of interesting and unexpected small plates, and left us almost too full to have our pasta course. We shared cacio e pepe and ziti Genovese. Preferred the ziti. We also added eggplant parmigiana which was also very good, but too much food to eat. read more

Found this place around the corner from the flat my husband and I were staying at. It's hands down, one of the best dining experiences ever. The staff is amazing and attentive without being overbearing, and Mamma passes out warm bread. We arrived kind of late (late for America) but the staff never rushed us. They just kept feeding us! The antipasti was way beyond what we expected. So many different and delicious favors. And our pasta courses were even more impressive. I cannot wait to get back to London and dine here again. read more

The food was fantastic. From the amazing appetizer board which included burrata, artichoke hearts, cuttlefish, and more to the fresh and tasty rigatoni all' Amatriciana and the Saltimbocca Romana. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was fun. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that there was only one "Mamma" there and, the only thing it seemed that she was preparing was pre-meal bruschetta and desserts. Nevertheless, she was also quite charming. read more

I absolutely love the concept and emotions evoked with the decor and culture. Despite wanting to love la Mia mamma, I was left quite disappointed and underwhelmed. It took 45 min for someone just to take our order. Water was asked at least 6 times and it wasn't until the end of the meal that we got it. The dessert and foccacia were great. Pastas... not so much. Cacio e Pepe is traditionally made with pecorino- here, it was tossed with some kind of mild bleu cheese which did not work at all. Seafood pasta was extremely bland. Alla Norma was the best out of the 3, but just ok. The rest of the antipasti was also a bit on the blander side and nothing special. read more

I saw La Mia Mamma on Stanley Tucci's show Searching for Italy and fell in love with the concept. I knew we had to go when we visited London. We came tonight and it lived up to every bit of the hype. It was an unforgettable dining experience. We sat downstairs in a very quaint dining room. Our service was impeccable. Mena from the Amalfi Coast was wonderful. I hope I'm remembering her name correctly. We had bruschetta brought right away by the mamma. The region was Lazia. We had 5 of us and ordered 5 pastas and 2 main dishes. Then they brought out two antipasti plates with many choices that were so flavorful. The arrancini were delicious. Our favorite pastas were the Rigatoni pesto di pistachio e ricotta and Paccheri alla gricia but they were all so good. Then came the two main dishes Porchetta e patate and Saltimbocca alla romana which we thought we were too full to eat but we finished them. Then dessert which was chosen by the mammas and was fantastic. Then a shot of espresso and a shot of limoncello. It was a 2.5 hour dining event and we felt like we were in Italy. Thank you for an amazing evening we won't forget! read more

Such a fun concept!! A little gimicky maybe - but the food was good and the atmosphere was fun!! The Italian Mamma's come around serving you little bites from their trays, explaining what it is and why it is a dish from their region. We were their for Sicily! My husband and I opted for the set menu and were amazing by the amount of food we got! We did not love all of the appetizers - some were pretty luke warm and others were bland, but we loved the ricotta, burrata and the sauteed veggies. I do wish they served bread with this - would've been great to use for the cheeses. We then ordered a pasta each that were both homemade and PERFECTLY cooked al dente. Our favorite part was the dessert they brought out for my husbands birthday with a giant sparkler in it! The staff all came out and sang the best Italian birthday song. It was so fun! Overall the food was good and we were seriously SO full that we had to take away most of our pasta dishes. I'd recommend this spot for any occasion - it was way more than just a meal, it was a fun night out! read more

This restaurant is straight from Sicily. Charming restaurant with excellent service and delicious tasty, fabulous Italian food. We did not book a table, and therefore we sat on the barstools for lunch which was wonderful, because we got to watch the woman prepare the desserts, which looked outstanding. What a Find!!! Apparently Stanley Tucci also discovered this restaurant, but hey, I didn't know that until I saw it on the board. it's right in the Notting Hill neighborhood. read more

We first heard of La mia Mamma on Stanley Tucci's CNN show, an episode where he explored the Italian food scene in London. I'm so glad we made a point of dining here during our recent vacation. It was our last dinner of the trip, and to say "we saved the best for last" is an apt description. From start to finish, our dining experience was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed each of the courses - we definitely didn't leave hungry! The wait staff (Michela) was helpful and attentive. Highly recommend. read more
