The food was great and the staff were really nice. Very attentive and accommodating. The service was also very fast, we were in a rush and told them so and they went above and beyond to meet our requirements. The restaurant itself is a bit warm but has a great atmosphere and felt very homey. Will definitely visit again!

It doesn’t look much on the outside in a little side street but is only a few minus walk from S Kensington tube. However as soon as we walked in the wonderful smell of herbs and garlic was just wonderful. We had very friendly service and the pasta, risotto, calamari and steak was excellent and we will go again

Went to papa Roma after visiting an exhibition nearby. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. On the whole, we enjoyed our food, although my dining companion asked to change his dish as his clam vongole was grainy. The staff were very understanding and pleasant. Nothing was a problem. The pizzas looked very good too. Nice ambiance and cosy little restaurant.

Great pizza, exactly what we were after- especially as some of us had just run a half-marathon! We turned up a little early and they kindly accommodated us. But more importantly- great pizza!

We arrived quite late as our concert overran, but we still received a warm welcome. I had a vegetarian pizza which was amazing, really crispy base. My partner had a risotto which was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. We'd definitely return for a more leisurely evening.

Great service as always before we went to the Royal Albert Hall. Would only say that the Pesto sauce slightly too peppery, but the Gnocchi was excellent;

We had a delicious meal at Papa Roma. The food was cooked perfectly. The service was excellent. Two of us had fish and one of us had pizza and one of us had pasta. We were all very happy with our meals. The dessert was also delicious and there was a good selection of a variety of dishes. The restaurant was not too loud so we were able to talk comfortably. We would definitely return.

Excellent meal, food was really good, service great. Couldn’t fault it it. We were there early as were going to a show but no problems. Only bad comment is that 12.5% gratuity was added to the bill, prefer to choose my own tip.

The food and staff were amazing I would definitely go there again. The only negative was the added 12.5% tip. I would of preferred the option as we tend to use cash but other than that perfect visit.
