Il Portico

We had a lovely meal as a large group of 17. Restaurant staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was delicious.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely family owned business with excellent service and food. Good location. Reasonably priced.

The food is outstanding and presented beautifully. The service is attentive and very friendly.

I’d recommend it for any special occasion or anytime you’d like a wonderful evening out.

Very pleasant local restaurant, which we always enjoy. Only downside is the wine list.

We’re never disappointed eating at this terrific ‘family’ restaurant. The produce is exceptional.

Excellent ambience, excellent service, and exceptionally freshly prepared food. It’s a definite repeat.

Last minute booking as I was visiting Olympia for an event, but what a great choice! This is a lovely family run restaurant with great staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was superb, from the monkfish and seafood soup through the the Torta de Nona dessert; but the standout dish was the Fegato Salvia (calves liver with butter and sage). Beautifully cooked and just sublime! Good choice of wines available by the glass and reasonably priced. A great little Italian restaurant!!

Always a great evening. I’m from the US but always make it a point to dine at il Portico when I’m in London. They always have good specials but the menu is also wonderful. Service is outstanding. Make sure you get the fried zucchini- it melts in your mouth!

We are visiting and staying in the neighborhood. Our hostess recommended ll Portico to us. We went and loved it so much we went again two days later! Everything we had on the menu was as good as what we’ve had in Italy.. service was outstanding as well. You cannot go wrong at this cute little neighborhood restaurant.

We were introduced to this little gem of an Italian restaurant last year. We’ve lived in the area for years but thought it was just another Italian restaurant. However, I can’t recommend it more if you’re looking for beautifully cooked Italian meat, game and seafood dishes and service that is warm and attentive.

As always a lovely dinner with a well established restaurant who’ve been delivering a tried and tested recipe for years.

Excellent family owned restaurant. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and lovely food. Would love to come back.

Welcome to authentic Italian cuisine... Fresh products beautifully prepared like in Italy, dishes perfect for sharing; Beetroot salad and calamari were delicious starters, black ink linguine with lobster and shrimp as the pasta course prepared us perfectly for the sea bream to follow, melting on your tongue...

It was amazing as usual ❤️

From the moment we walked in this place was great. We were early but despite being about to sit down for the staff dinner the let us in, got us settled with a bottle of wine before they opened.

All the food was incredible too, we both really enjoyed starters and mains.

I will definitely be back.

Top! Very good food and very friendly service! I really recommend!

Slow service. Hair in Tiramisu. Plastic in spaghetti.

I went for lunch with my family. The food was delicious. Our waitress from Brazil was extremely polite. The food was ready in an instant. They brought us a bread basket with olive oil before the food was ready. I value that a lot.
We had a very interesting conversation with the owner. A very nice man. There’s no one like the owner to make sure a business works. We had a great time

We have regular visitors to Il Portico. The food never disappointed us with very tasty dishes and great wines.
The service was friendly and professional.

Thank you Il Portion for accommodating my family's Christmas Day celebrations last Saturday.

Your help, enthusiasm, suggestions, food and service were outstanding and I cannot thank you enough, or indeed wait to revisit.

Friendly service and great food in a lovely, traditional, relaxed environment. A real authentic neighbourhood gem.

Like going home for warm welcome, so friendly and excellent food and wine

Excellent food, and a nice, intimate place. Strongly recommended!

I grew up in this area and must have passed this place so many times and never gone in. What a pity.
It has to be one of the best Italian places I have tried in London.
The food was sooo delicious and what surprised me was how big the portions were (that is NOT typical in London).
The variety on the menu was great; not your typical pasta dishes and also wonderful meat and fish dishes.
This is now my go-to when in London.
Already planning my next visit.

It is our second visit here.Went about 18 months ago.Food was amazing.Service is fantastic and such a lovley atmosphere.Will definitely go again when in the area.

Lovely authentic local Italian. The capellaci pasta was delish, wine list was extensive and well-priced, perfect place for a good meal and goo conversation. Also very enthusiastic service!

Cozy, comfortable, homey vibe. Simple dishes done very well. Very attentive and friendly staff.

Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine for a quiet lunch. Ideal for a business meeting.

An excellent evening, the host was in control, a very well run family restaurant. They obviously have a regular clientelle, this was our first visit but we were attended to with as much care as the regulars. The food was very good and the portions were big, we didn't have room for a dessert!

If we are in London again, we will definitely go back.

This is a neighbourhood gem. Delicious, authentic Italian food. Always a treat.

Thank so much for wonderful meal!!

I only come to London once a year & il Portico is the only restaurant I use! The food is wonderful, reasonably priced for such good food & great menu. The staff are always very welcoming & pleasant, not mention efficient! Thank you once again Vinnie!

Delicious lunch with the girls. They very obviously use great fresh ingredients.

Excellent meal with really friendly staff.
The quality of the food was exceptional with great tastes and flavours.

This place is amazing!!!

A very good evening, friendly and warm

Fantastic again thanks

Authentic food and ambiance! Burrata, risotto and calamares outstanding

The food was wonderful. Went with waiter's suggestions and was not disappointed.
