"Da Mario is a proper old-school Italian joint in an impressive Venetian-Gothic building with charmingly rubbish decor. There are pictures of Princess Diana on the wall, and the food is home-style Italian, with big portions of pasta and great pizzas at semi-reasonable prices. It’s worth the short walk to avoid the chain-bait restaurants around Gloucester Road station." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
