Belvedere Restaurant,

Abbotsbury Road, London W8 6LU

"Wow ! What a transformation. I have always loved this restaurant, but sadly it was unloved and rather run down. This refurbishment has brought it back to life in spectacular form. The decor is lovely, very warm and cozy, but I can see how it will work in the Summer too. The staff are super friendly and very efficient. We were served by Alejandro and Joseph, both of whom were very professional and full of smiles. The music was lovely and at just the right level, not too loud but loud enough. The food was delicious and well priced. The Russian sommelier was really very well informed and help us choose a great bottle, again reasonably priced. I highly recommend Belvedere it's simply wonderful. It's (small) dog friendly too !!!"

"Belvedere is a decent sized Italian restaurant placed in Holland park. The decor inside immediately brings you in for a vacation mood somewhere in the south. The staff are attentive, respond quick. The menu is offering a lot of delicious picks, so you won't make a mistake whatever you pick. Langoustines were super fresh and bursting with flavour. Linguine is super delicious, pizza is freshly made in oven next to the bar. Fish dishes were really tender. Veal Milanese is absolutely a highlight - the cutlet is very thick but just with just the right amount of crust. Finally the desert selection is great, but actually it was the humble vanilla gelato that blew me away at the end of a very pleasant evening."

"Set in a beautiful iconic and historical building in Holland Park, this place has been wonderfully refurbished and opened again in Nov 2022. Our first visit under new ownership and it’s truly amazing. The ambience throughout is just stunning - cosy and stylish. The team is very attentive and the menu is up market Italian, full of flavour - we had oysters and aubergine to start and two of the pasta dishes (crab and oxtail) to follow. Extensive wine list, we had a very nice Nobu Italian white. It was busy on a Sunday evening and it’s so good to see this place in full flow again. Definitely recommend."

"The place have been renovated and you don’t feel like you are in London once you are in here. It serves mainly italian food here. If you like the thin crust pizza, this is a must ordered item. You also have a good collection of wine to select. Last but not least, the cannoli is better than any other restaurants here."
