The 14 Best Italian Restaurants In London

"The River Café is timeless. When are people not going to want to eat veal taglierini and this legendary chocolate nemesis cake? Or crispy taleggio and potato pizzetta? Especially with the Thames on their left, and someone Bafta-nominated to their right. This richly flavoured (and priced) Hammersmith restaurant was one of the first to make regional Italian food in the city—and it’s still one of the best. You should know about their more casual, next-door, all-day canteen The River Café Café, too." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

The 22 Best Outdoor Restaurants In London

"If there’s a big occasion coming up, The River Café is a very good idea. Nabbing one of the garden tables and praying for the sun to shine feels like the way to go. Sure, you’ll need to book way ahead, and it’ll be pricey. But eating some of London’s best Italian food while overlooking the Thames is, almost, priceless. If you can’t get a booking or want a more casual experience, head next door to sibling canteen, The River Café Café." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

The Most Classic Restaurants In London

"Open since 1987, The River Café is an Italian restaurant that is also an English Heritage site in waiting. People travel all over the world to Hammersmith to pay their respects to one of London’s most influential and stylish makers of pizzetta and pasta. Come summer, the Thames-side terrace continues to be one of London’s most iconic locations for lunch and celebrity-spotting. That said, a slice of chocolate nemesis cake is arguably the most famous thing here." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
