The owners of Locanda Ottoemezzo Italian restaurant in London’s Kensington, just a few moments’ walk from the High Street, are film aficionados extraordinaire. In particular, their admiration of Federico Fellini’s masterpiece 8 ½ has inspired them to name their delightful restaurant after it and to decorate the interior with 8 1/2 – themed details. The general vibe of this charming and accomplished neighbourhood restaurant is vibrant and warm and full of colour with collectors’ details like rare LPs, books, instruments and a precious 1963 poster of the film. Yet there’s nothing gimmicky about Locanda Ottoemezzo. The perfect house risotto is always on the menu here served with a theatrical flourish from a rind of parmesan.

Beautiful cosy restaurant, with wholesome food. Food and service was excellent! Tasty with great portions too. Value for money is brilliant. It is tucked away from the busy High St Kensington, and a great place for a lunch or dinner with friends, family or date night. You are served and welcomed by Fiona, the owner herself who is so passionate about every customer that walks in, providing the most exceptional customer service. Extreamly pleased with taking a big group of colleagues for our Christmas dinner here! :) Best wishes, and hope to see Ffiona’s success continue! Lots of love, N x

I was with work attending a conference and we booked this restaurant based on reviews and its proximity to where we were staying. They were able to accommodate a request for 8 people with only an hour and a half’s notice. The staff were attentive friendly and jovial and knowledgeable on their products. The food was amazing as was the wine it was a lovely meal and I would love to go back sometime. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.
