Saponara - London

The only Italian thing about this place is that the owner and the manager both speaks Italian but the food is below average. Just some boiled pasta covered in sauce.

My older daughter and I came here for dinner on the recommendation of a local. Well, what a joy! This is my kind of place. As soon as you walk in, you feel the warmth and the welcome, and then the food lives up to it. 100%. We shared a pizza and a pasta. Everything was both warm and professional, and everything tased SO fresh. This restaurant delivered my favourite meal of our whole 3 week holiday in the UK. If I lived in London, it would be my love food fix. Many thanks and bravo

Wow, that was AMAZING. Absolutely excellent pizza, best I’ve had in London. Transported my tastebuds to Italy. Fantastic experience. Say yes to the chili paste.

Absolutely loved this little gem of a restaurant. So unassuming from the outside, but the food was amazing. Complimentary olives and bread oil given to start with. You can really taste how fresh the pasta is. It’s so rare to find such a delicious pasta dish outside of Italy, but this definitely ticks all the boxes! The pizza was so good the crust is perfect and tomato sauce is really tasty. The wine is also reasonably priced. Service is great and you can tell how passionate the owner is. Really recommend

Visited here with 3 of my friends the other day. The staff working were so kind and friendly, and made us feel welcome in their restaurant. The pizzas we all had where amazing also. Such a lovely first experience and will definitely be back to visit again. Thank you to the staff for the wonderful food and wine.
