Albertini Restaurant

"Classic relaxed Italian restaurant. Our pizza’s were classic Italian, as was the antipasto. Nothing too fancy, but good fresh ingredients prepared/cooked perfectly. Very good wine list too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back again and as they have been there since 2006, we feel confident they will still be there."

"A short walk from The British Library. They had plenty of indoor seating with air conditioning during the heatwave. The place is clean. The staff greeted us and seated us promptly. It smelled so delicious as we walked past the kitchen where you can see the food prepared. The menu looked delicious! We decided to order the olives and bread appetizer and a pizza to share. We had cool tap water to drink. The quality of the food was excellent, fresh, satisfying. Extra virgin olive oil drizzled on two fresh bread slices came with a clay pot of olives. The pizza was made with fresh mozzarella, artichokes, red onion and a spicy sausage all balanced together without overwhelming. We took away 2 slices we couldn't finish. We also shared a fancy dessert of a hazelnut and chocolate ice cream at the top of the dessert menu. There were a few others eating here as we were after 1pm for lunch. We were pleased with the space, the food, the quiet street and great location!"

"The picture of the wine wall was as far as I got because from when they took our drinks order whilst waiting for our table through to finishing our last sip of wine we were lost in the evening. It was a lovely summer evening and we were able to sit outside. The staff were lovely (busy, very busy) but attentive, pleasant and helpful with any questions we had on the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, and we are happy to have found this little gem so close to our hotel. 3 courses, a bottle of wine and a short potter back. Will definitely return next time we're down."

"I had dinner here with 5 friends. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Food was good, reasonably priced and tasty. Would definitely recommend and come back."

"Delicious food and great service. Real proper Italian food, good wine. We will be back! The mushroom tagliatelle were great and so was the burrata starter. Delicious. We want to try the pizza next."
