Ballarò

"The food here was excellent and the service was great too. The only (small) criticism would be that the lighting is too bright but that's just being pedantic. The pizza is cooked on the lightest homemade base and you can taste the quality of the ingredients they use right down to the delicious tomato sauce. I will definitely be coming back to try the pasts dishes and other delights."

"First time dining at Ballarò and already planning to return! Authentic Sicilian cuisine at its finest. The wood fire pizzas are absolutely delicious, definitely recommend the Siciliana one (especially if you're vegetarian and like aubergine and ricotta). The staff are attentive and couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating (grazie mille especially to Boris!). The dessert menu is fantastic - the ricotta and pistachio cake with mini chocolate chips was truly one of the best desserts I've ever had! (Looking forward to trying the tiramisu next time). The decor of the restaurant is beautiful and elegant. Plus there is a car park just behind - two minute walk to the restaurant. Undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in London."

"The absolute best place for authentic Italian wood fire pizza. Has a wide selection of wines and drinks. Owner is friendly and has a vast passion for exotic plants."

"Very good welcoming Italian restaurant with a focus on regional Sicilian dishes. We had walked past Ballarò many a time tempted by the smell of fresh pizza and finally decided to pay a visit. We have eaten our fair share of Italian food both in London and Italy and this was very good indeed. We had a calzone and the Fritto misto (fried King prawns, whitebait, squid). The calzone was perfectly cooked with a chewy base and full of cheese, mushrooms and tomato. The fritto misto was fresh and tasty with the artichokes a nice addition. For dessert we had a pana cotta and tiramasu both of which were well balanced and just as they should be. The service was attentive and we'll be sure to visit again."

"I can't fault this restaurant. The staff are professional, attentive, friendly and just generally everything you want from a service perspective. The food itself is exceptional and I've never been disappointed. Why you would go to anywhere like pizza express/dominoes and pay more for garbage pizza is beyond me. Try this place and you won't be disappointed."
