Pappa Roma is a great and authentic Italian restaurant. The customer service was fantastic and the food even better. My mum said it was the best melanzane alla parmagiana she’s ever had (& she’s not easily pleased). You know an Italian restaurant is going to be good when there are Italian people eating at it!

The food and the service were both very good. I was surprised at how quiet the restaurant was at lunch time but this suited my friend and I since we were able to have a good chat. However, I think £61 for a simple lunch and wine was a little expensive.

A great find. Local gem within close walking distance of the Royal Albert Hall, tucked away in a quiet side street within 2 minutes walk of South Kensington Underground. Nothing fancy, just good, honest Italian food at great prices with efficient service. Wood fired pizzas have delicious, and surprisingly light crust. My only criticism was on arriving first, I was left without the offer of a drink while waiting for my dining companion. But would definitely return.

Cosy and welcoming Italian restaurant. Good service and polite waiters. But nothing very remarkable. Pretty good but only that. It has a potential to have a Italian wow factor.

Friendly service, good choice of Italian dishes including some nice specials. I had a well presented king prawn and courgette starter followed by a hearty rigatoni with aubergine. My friend had scampi followed by whole sea bream served with sweet potato and broccoli - healthy and light. Portions were generous.

Welcome was very chilly and improved only slightly from there. Almost all the wait staff seemed like they could care less if you stayed or not. The food is quite good and the atmosphere is decent. However I'd not return to such an unwelcoming place

Excellent, friendly service and food. We sat on the patio out front for our meal as the restaurant was a little too warm inside. The starter of olives was very good. We enjoyed vegetarian pizza, spaghetti with prawns, four cheese gnocchi, lasagna, and wine. Everything was delicious, served in good time, and we found the bill reasonable for four persons, averaging about 25 pounds/person. We would happily return here.

This is the second time we have visited this restaurant. I would have given it six for the first time. However, we did not enjoy it so much this time. The waiting staff we unattentive to the point of being rude. When they did attend to our table, they did not understand what we were asking for on a couple of occations. The food itself was pretty good apart from the olives, which were salty to the point of being inedible. When we were there the first time, the olives were excellent.

Quietly located away from the hustle and bustle of South Kensington, yet within a few minutes walk of the tube station, Pappa Roma's Italian Restaurant is a genuine, authentic experience of real Italian cuisine... My pizza base was typically rustic and clearly oven baked, without that sweetness of a Pizza Express pizza, where the dough has a one teaspoon measure of sugar added! The toppings on my "Primavera" were generous, and my side order of tomatoes were 100% Italian, so they were properly red, and tasted sweet, unlike the predominance of Dutch tomatoes preferred by the supermarkets... these Italian tomatoes were accompanied by red onions, and fresh basil. A glass of the Barbera was a perfect Italian red wine for my meal, and to finish, the cappuccino was suitably strong. The service was attentive, without being intrusive, the staff seemed happy, and were very helpful and patient with my group of diners. The price was reasonable, and I wish I could return sooner than September!!

Small friendly Italian restaurant, slightly off the main drag. My daughter and I loved our mains and starters, but hubby found his rather salty and just OK. So a mixed bag really.

We liked the atmosphere and the waiters were very friendly. My husband had the lasagna, which he loved. My spaghetti con pesto was a bit heavy on the salt. But the chocolate soufflé was to die for! All in all, a nice place worth visiting.
