La Porchetta is a great Italian restaurant. I have always just had pizza at this restaurant, but this time, as I was with my brother, we also decided to sample some of their starter dishes.

Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria – Notting Hill
Great quality pizza and a lovely atmosphere is what you get at Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria. The restaurant is fairly small and you can see the big dome wood burning oven situated at the back of the dining area. There is also an outdoor seating area, which looked like it would accommodate the same amount of diners as the inside of the restaurant.
Boston Pizza – Mississauga, Canada
Boston Pizza is a fairly big restaurant with the definite feel of a sports bar! As we were a big group, we were given a long table in the centre of the restaurant. The chairs were dark heavy metal ones and they had matching tables. There were tv screens around showing various sports, such as…
Prezzo -Euston
Prezzo initially pleased us both with its food and service. It was towards the end of the meal that this restaurant failed us. On arriving at Prezzo, there seemed to be a nice atmosphere helped by the friendly staff. Wood panelling, nice decor and comfortable chairs made up the dining area.
Getti – Piccadilly
Getti is a mediocre Italian restaurant. I would not say that the food was outstanding nor was it bad.
Gourmet Pizza Company – South Bank
Gourmet Pizza Company looks like a beach hut and it may not be exactly next to a beach, but it has the River Thames on its side. The actual location is in Gabriel’s Wharf on the South Bank.
Carluccios – Covent Garden
This is Carluccios flagship restaurant and it is spread over two floors. The entrance and interior reminded me of a grand home. It has high ceilings, stone floors and a big spiral staircase. We were seated on the upper level, which looked like the private dining area. There are huge windows that overlook the surrounding streets of Covent Garden. It felt like we were dining in a stately home.
Rocca di Papa- South Kensington
Rocca di Papa had such a warm and welcoming feel. It made a refreshing change to other restaurants. What was striking was the original brickwork walls, big canvas pictures and high ceilings. This building used to be part of Christie’s auction house.
Zizzi – O2 Centre, Finchley Road
If you want some good Italian food, then you can never fail with Zizzi. It’s even better now that they have added some new items to their menu. One of the new additions is the pizzettes. These are three mini pizzas with the following toppings: tomato and pesto, cheese and caramelised onions, peppers and goat’s cheese. The pizzettes are definitely a winner of a starter.
