April 7, Albertini Restaurant…read more Our family of four with two kids ages 9 and 10 visited for dinner. A relaxed, casual Italian spot with great energy and strong value. It ended up being our best meal in London. Arrival and First Impressions We walked in without a reservation and were seated easily. The restaurant sits right on the street with both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant has two indoor rooms with the kitchen in one of them, and the smells immediately stand out. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the room had a great mix of locals and visitors, which gave it a fun, authentic feel. The Highlights The food was the star. I had the risotto frutti di mare, which was excellent, though it did need a bit of salt and pepper to really bring out the seafood flavor. My son, nine, had the pizza Americana without chili oil and loved it. He said the crust was moist with a crispy edge. The pepperoni had a bit of spice but he still enjoyed it. My daughter, 10, ordered the ravioli di aurora. She was not a big fan due to the spinach filling, but we swapped for a bit and she loved the risotto. I really enjoyed the ravioli. It had a soft texture with a light tomato sauce that was very well balanced. She also had the garlic mozzarella pizza, which ended up being her favorite. Simple, with garlic oil and no chunks, and really flavorful. My wife had the spaghetti con gamberoni. She found it a bit bland at first, but after adding chili oil, salt, and pepper, she really enjoyed it. The atmosphere added a lot to the experience. There were regulars nearby chatting and clearly enjoying their meals, and the staff treated them like family, which made the whole place feel warm and welcoming. The Challenges A few dishes needed seasoning to reach their full potential. It would also help to have a couple of simple kid options, like plain cheese pizza or plain pasta. Kid Logistics Overall, very easy with kids. The relaxed pace and friendly staff made it comfortable. Would We Return Absolutely. Great value, great energy, and some really strong dishes. Final Thoughts Albertini Restaurant delivers a casual, authentic Italian meal with a lively local feel. Not perfect across every dish, but easily one of our most enjoyable meals in London.

Fast forward 10 minutes and we are served what may have been the best Carbonara I have ever enjoyed in my long and miserable life. No cream, no peas, just fresh eggs, crisp bacon and cheese. For your sake, just order it. Now. Then, I was served Sagne Ricce alla Bolognese. This dish consists of an irregular shaped pasta served in an amazing Beef Ragu. I was in pasta heaven. The service was friendly and efficient, the prices (considering the top quality) were very reasonable. My stomach is growling as I write this review and I honestly cannot wait to return to Casa Tua.

The bolognese was perfect Italian comfort food on a rainy night. Ihad the squid ink pasta with clams, and it was excellent. Garlicky sauce worthy of the home made pasta. My youngest had the carbonara, but I have no idea if it was good, as he was not sharing. Exceptionally friendly staff, too.

Orsini was glowing from the outside and looked like a cute and quality cafe. We stopped in and ordered fresh pasta bolognese and lasagna (come early if you want the handmade tagliatelle- they were out when we arrived around 9pm). Both of our meals were deliciously fresh and we enjoyed both of them. There were about ten tables on the main floor and a small upstairs seating area as well. It appeared as if this spot had won many restaurant awards in the past, so we were excited to try the food out.

It's a really nice and spacious place inside. At about 7 pm on a Sunday night a man came to play the piano. So it was very nice listening to live music while we enjoyed our dinner. Please expect to spend some time here because just like any other European restaurant they take there time. You're meant to sit and enjoy your food and company. Pretty much most places I've visited in Europe are this way. So if you want the check you'll have to ask for it which is nice because you don't feel rushed. My husband and I split the arancini and the pizza piccante. Both were absolutely delicious and we were both very full. I did manage to fit some dessert in my belly. I chose to get the cheesecake which is made in house and the flavor changes everyday. Mine was a vanilla cheesecake with raspberry sauce. This I did not share... well I allowed my husband to have a tiny bite. I'm not a huge cheesecake person but wow. This cheesecake was spectacular. I wish I had ordered like four more of them. Definitely worth a try and it's also fun listening to the chefs in the kitchen speaking Italian. Reminds me of when I was in Italy.
