Bellavista - Kensington and Chelsea

Not sure I am sharing the excitement of other reviews. I saw this restaurant on my way to the hotel and decided to have a quick late-night bite. The host was very welcoming and helpful, it was close to their closing time, but they were seating more patrons and were not rushing them. The atmosphere was very homey and relaxed. The food was ok, nothing remarkable, but not bad either. I guess you could call it inexpensive by London's standards, but I wouldn't call it cheap.

Great meals with good value in a restaurant with a family feel. We went there on three occasions during our 7 day stay in London. The blackboard special of either sea bass with vegetables or roast beef with vegetables is sensational quality and value and had a scampi fritti entrée with some salad and black olives is very tasty. Their house-wine is a bottle of Italian Soave wine which is a variety of wine we had never tried before and we loved it because it is a dry white wine which suits the taste of people who like Chardonnay or Riesling. Other good meals we thoroughly enjoyed were linguini with mushrooms and zucchini, capricciosa pizza and lasagne at lunch time. By the way all restaurants in London apply a service charge of about 15% which is not a tip. Most Australians are not expecting the extra cost. Their VAT tax (similar to GST) is 20%.

We needed a speedy lunch before heading to the airport for our flight home. We could not have asked for a better place! A true family atmosphere and lovely food. We shall definitely return here on a future visit to London.

On a recent trip to London, upon the recommendation of our son, we ate dinner at this little Italian restaurant. The Carbonara was the best we've ever had (including Rome), the service was wonderful and the atmosphere delightful! Not to mention the most reasonable prices in London!

I have been here multiple times and every time the food was amazing, great service and atmosphere. Great location! Nice clean and relaxing. Staff were friendly and caring. Everybody around us was enjoying their food and having a good time! I totally recommend it for the value!
