Archway Battersea

So glad to have found an Italian restaurant that meets our high standard. Too many mediocre ones in London. We went for an early lunch and were warmly greeted by Nyall, who looked after us throughout and ensured we had a great experience. He explained the menu in detail and offered some recommendations. When we weren’t sure which wine would pair best with our food, he kindly let us try a few options before choosing. Everything we ordered from starters to dessert was class. I’d highly recommend the crab tagliolini, the rib eye and the torta caprese (they change menu monthly). We love the interior too - warm, comforting and minimalistic. A casual restaurant with fine-dining service.

Fantastic food, friendly service, in an intimate cozy atmosphere, tastefully designed. - flatbread, buratta and crab tagliolini were stand-outs for us! Thank you, I'll definitely be back to try future seasonal menus!

This restaurant is such a gem! The ambience is cosy and inviting. We went on Saturday afternoon without reservations and were able to get a table. We tried the crab tagliolini and rabbit ragu which was absolutely delicious! And then the dessert… I would highly recommend the Tiramisu Marsala! It was simply exquisite! Not too sweet, hint of the coffee and just delicious. But the most important thing, apart from the food, were the people there and how they made us feel welcome and when there was a small issue with the order the way they went about correcting it! I cannot recommend this place highly enough! We plan to go there again and try some of their other amazing dishes (they do keep updating their menu fairly regularly)!

This was my favourite meal I’ve had in a while. Everything was superb. The food is all entirely delicious, the portions and presentation is great. The restaurant is an intimate space and the atmosphere is completely buzzy and upbeat. Lastly, but certainly not least, the service is utterly impeccable. Everyone is friendly and warm, and Oyin who looked after us is an absolute gem. 10/10, would come back in a heartbeat!

Amazing vibe, perfect for dinner! The capellete and risotto were both outstanding! Full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

A truly fantastic Italian restaurant in Battersea! We were pleasantly surprised by the creativity of the dishes, familiar Italian foundations with unexpected twists that really work. Every plate was packed with flavour. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely kind and attentive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something beyond the standard pizza and pasta fare, this place offers something special.

Had dinner Wednesday night with the family and the food was great, risotto seafood was delicious. Was my partner’s birthday and we hadn’t said it at the booking, so they have organised a candle for her - really sweet!

Another newly opened restaurant that’s impossible to get into without a reservation . The restaurant was filled with flickering candlelight and a lush view outside. Such a romantic atmosphere 🫶 A foodie friend raved about their prawns, said they were finger-licking good, but the menu changes often, so we missed out this time. The server was lovely and recommended a few of her favorites. 🙌 Here’s what I’d suggest: ▫️ The flatbread appetizer felt like a freshly baked pizza. We had the tomato basil, but the ham option looked tempting too! ▫️ The mushroom risotto was fantastic! The mushrooms were meaty, and the risotto had a slice of pure ham fat on top that melted into deliciousness—perfect with wine! ▫️ The sea bass was decent, with a good texture👌 ▫️ I loved the desserts! The most praised was the lavender cream donuts, but three in a serving was a bit much. They were crispy on the outside, tender inside, not too soft or greasy—hard to finish though. The other dessert was like a lighter cheesecake with a tangy sauce—refreshing and not too heavy, I really enjoyed it! Located under the arches at Battersea train station. For those in Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station, it’s a short walk away. Small place, so make sure to book in advance!
