L'Amorosa always appears to be an undiscovered gem though it is never empty. Nor is it ever very full. There can be no doubt that the chef, Andy Needham, is totally on top of his game. He was head chef at Michelin-starred Zafferano in Belgravia before setting up shop here. A small menu using fresh, top quality ingredients executed with total confidence. And a reasonably proced wine list too. If there is a better example in west London I'd love to hear about it.

Food was stunning. We shared a beautiful buffalo mozzarella salad starter and ordered some home made bread which arrived with olive oil. Main course was pasta in a delicious brocolli sauce. We then each had a dessert, mine was Tiramisu and my friend ordered apple tart with ice cream, which she said was superb.

Haven’t been to the restaurant for about 6 months but it continues to deliver authentic Italian food, freshly cooked with an excellent choice of good value Italian wines. Cuttlefish starter (3 of us had) was the highlight of a very good meal. Excellent service as usual from the manager and the waiter.
