A little authentic Italian corner in London. I am an Italian living here in London and ‘da Maria’ I have tasted original Italian cuisine. Food is very good, price is cheap, place is small but comfortable. Do not miss: Lasagne and Polpette al sugo!

Feet aching after a guided walk around Notting Hill just looking for somewhere to sit down and have some lunch. Almost fell into this little place when we couldn’t get to Notting Hill Gate tube station due to the press of unwashed humanity coming the other way. What a little treasure of an Italian café — only 16 covers inside and a couple more on the pavement, but the food is excellent and I’m sure is home made. Recommened are meatballs with either pasta or rosemary(roast) potatoes, lemon cake and Italian cheese cake, which is quite different to the supermarket sort you might be used to. Recommended.

This café’ restaurant is tucked away in a corner of Notting Hill next to the famous Gate cinema. It has established from 28 years by Maria and Mario. Over the years it has boasted faithful clientelles. You will be in for a treat like a child in a sweetshop pouring over the choices on offer at an affordable price. Lasagne, Spezzatine, Tiramisu and other dishes are freshly cooked in a traditional Italian way with favour and gusto by Maria and served in a friendly atmosphere by charming Pasquale and staff.
