Fried squid and prawns were ok. Glass of dry Italian was nice. Those who are posting 5 stars have never been to a great restaurant. Get a grip, guys. read more

Delicious & Authentic!! We came here on holiday from the states and was craving Italian food. Thankfully we found this lovely restaurant. I had a simple Spaghetti Al Pomodorino which was very delicious. My niece had the Salmone Alla Griglia and she actually said that it was the best salmon she has ever had. The best part about the whole meal was dessert. I make it a point to try tiramisu whenever it's offered and I can truly say that this was one of the best I've had. If i'm ever in London again, I will definitely be coming back. read more

We tried this nice little place while on a spring break trip from America. Hubs is English and we visit yearly. I had a chicken in white wine sauce that came with cream potatoes (code for mashed) and hubs had spag bol, his usual. Staff was fab but food was mediocre (but hot). Hubs loved his but he's not too picky. Mine was okay (great if you needed unseasoned fare for the older crowd). It could have been fabulous with a little bit of seasoning and butter in the dish. The mash tasted as though the added liquid was water or skim milk. I actually thought they were doctored instant. I really wanted to love this place but will not be returning. I think the pizza is the draw here, so maybe try that. read more

Top quality cappuccino from a friendly back-street Italian cafe. Really, the coffee is great in this place, a 100% improvement on the the bland chains five minutes away on Euston Road. I haven't tried the food but it looks good, a nice selection of pasta on offer, might try next time. On a nice day you can sit outside on this quiet street (when it's not market day) and imagine you're in a cafe in Italy or Spain. It's that good! read more

Yes, it's a place that gets all 5 stars, not because it's a michelin starred, but because what it offers you would enjoy, the service is warm and friendly, and so is the quality of the food and the portion size. On a lovely partly sunny day my colleagues and I sat outside in the quiet treelined street and the waitress was quick to come over and get our order. 1 - tricolore sandwich on a wheat bagguette (toasted) - tomato, avocado, mozzarella, pesto 2 - large OJ/carrot fresh squeezed juice 3 - greek salad (dressing on the side) - which I shared with my colleague all this for £11. it was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Service was impeccable. I was very much impressed... can say that this is BY far, the best service I have seen in London. Super unpretentious, and just authentic... but let me let you in on a secret... the family is albanian, and i am SO impressed with their food/service/value! if you're around euston and feel like a NICE bite with a smile.... Albertini is the place to go. P.s. i am praying it isn't just my one-off experience. read more

We lived near the restaurant while away from the US. Visited here with two toddlers as it was highly rated (I doubted the rating at first). People filled up quick during dinner time. Food was decent amount, tasty and good price too compare to a chain pizza restaurant nearby we had the other day. Definitely will check again. read more

It is one of the last summer days and It's Friday afternoon in London. For some reason this little place still has less that ten costumers. It's not because of the food (well at least not the lovely salad that I had). Nor can it be peroni on tap, who would avoid that? I think it must just be my lucky day. read more

Albertini Restaurant - Good salad and great service. - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

The best ever Italian restaurant I have been to. Amazing atmosphere, very welcoming and helpful waiters, super delicious food, and reasonably priced. Try their deserts and ask for the ones they prepare in-house. The only issue now is the benchmark they Albertini has created, which will make harder for me to enjoy any other Italian restaurant. read more

Just had a wonderful evening with friends at Albertini's. We were seated quickly. We asked for advice on wine and were directed to a very nice Barbera. We all ordered some had a linguini dish I had a steak. Food was terrific. Next dessert. Bonoffi for everyone. Congac. It was wonderful and a good value. read more

I've been here a couple of times. The food is okay for a sandwich cafe type place, but it's hardly going to change your life. The prices are reasonable for the location. The service is very good and it's what bumps it up from a three star to a four star. Just really friendly workers who are attentive but not overbearing. Good place for a quick lunch during the work week. read more

I found this place while looking for a restaurant near to my hotel later in the evening. I was drawn by the prospect, the hope, of half-way decent Italian food in a semi-pleasant environment. I got much more than that. My dish was a penne in arrabiatta sauce, which I don't find often in the States - it was simply amazing. When I saw they had a full bar, I ordered multiple drinks, which were served promptly and exactly as I had ordered them. It's a shame that the staff wasn't wearing nametags, otherwise I would cite their excellent service by name. Several of them were attentive and quick to provide me with anything I requested; this is unusual for a solo diner in London. read more

From the funghi pasta to the pizza to the salmon dish.. everything was so unbelievably delicious!! We went based on the yelp reviews and the place didn't disappoint! read more

I came here with a group of friends on Thursday evening to have a quiet board game night. It was the perfect location. There are a few drinks (we mostly had Peroni) to keep you going for awhile and they were more than happy to come back and just let us drink for awhile. After awhile (a couple of hours at least), we ordered dinner. I had a sandwich, some other people had salads or risotto. The food wasn't the best to be honest. I thought my sandwich was sort of bland. Maybe next time, I'll go for something more pasta like. But the chorizo we had to nibble on at the beginning was really fantastic. It's a cute little cafe, and I'm sure I'll be back if they let us stay there for another four hour gaming marathon again. read more

Great prices for London. The pasta with carbonara is amazing! And the outdoor seating is pleasant with outstanding service. The strip steak is not what I would suggest though. Worth a visit to this restaurant. read more

I've discovered this place since working with the nearby Disasters Emergency Committee, who're currently running the Haiti Earthquake Appeal. Great value food and, as noted above, extremely friendly staff who are quick to remember clients' preferences/favourites. Not that cheese, beans and marmite on toast isn't memorable enough. Good range of fillings for panini, baked potatoes and salads. Sundried tomato, avocado and mozzarella baked potatoes at under £4 - not bad for a stone's throw from Bloomsbury. read more

Read the reviews and this is a great place to have a very good dinner at In London near the train stations! Great service. Pasta very food and sauces good. Tiramisu was Delish but small portion to split. Worth a visit! read more

Went in with high hopes because of all the ratings, pasta was well cooked, but very bland. Too much noodles for the sauce. I ordered a clam linguine but midway into the meal I noticed a foul taste coming from my plate. The seafood was not fresh. Largely disappointing, we didn't finish our food. read more

Found this through Yelp and definitely a spot to come back to. Food was excellent although I didn't get a chance to have any wine. Would certainly recommend it for a nice inexpensive place. read more

This place was just as described - small cafe with real Italian food. Not easy to find in London. But we had the mussels with garlic and white wine and the antipasti verdure. Perfect. My husband had the linguini and clams and I had the baked lasagne. Just what we needed on a cold December night in London. read more

Well, this was a pleasant surprise. Friendly and professional service. Excellent food for adults and kids alike. The wine was affordable, yet very good. Altogether a fine dining experience in a cozy restaurant. If you like Italian food, this is the place. read more

I was touristing through and staying nearby. Good grades so I thought I'd try it out. It IS above average in my opinion but I wonder sometimes that is because most Italian food is not prepared all that well. I had a seafood Zuppa di Giorno (which was basically the Frutti di Mare in soup form) then the Tagliatelle with Frutti di Mare. Probably too much seafood overall and should have chosen something else to balance. The tomato soup and sauces were good but uninspiring. The prawns were cooked remarkably well, tender and tasty. I've had spectacular Italian and Italian-American food in various places around the world but this was just good to above average. read more

lively atmosphere and good food. we love the mussels in particular. manager and every staff is efficient and nice. not far from kings cross station, just few mins walk. hope I can try their dessert n coffee next time. read more

See all

Great little neighborhood gem. Warm atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. My friend and I both had the Fusilli Piemontese and loved it! Will definitely be back! read more

I went there only once but so far it's just like the other reviews are saying. I'm lactointolerant and it was no hassle to have a special combination of sandwich with different items from the menu. And the best part: warm environment together with efficient service. Bravo! read more

Very friendly staff. Just don't ask for omelette. I always have the set breakfast for 3.95 and it is excellent. No sausages made with eyelids, bums or lips. Can't fault this place. Oh and did I mention that they don't do omelette. read more

Run by brothers Albert and Tini this place serves great sandwiches. I was there for lunch at least three times a week for 9 months. The service is particularly friendly and you are always welcome. There are a wide selection of sandwich/baguettes/paninis and if you want to make up your own then as long they have the ingredients you can have it. Great value for money! read more

We ate here on a crowded Thursday night. The food was really good, authentic pizza and great service. They found us a table outside and just made things work even though they were busy. The Pollo dello Chef was great and the pizza excellent. All around a good experience and good food. read more

If you ever go to Albertini order the Americano pizza and the lemon sherbet. That is all I will say so go to Albertini !!!!!

The hubby and I had dinner here on a Tuesday night. It was busy but we were seated promptly. The waitress was very nice and the service was good. The food was just decent. We had bruschetta as starter. It was very good. However, the spaghetti with shrimps and tomato sauce I had for main course was just ok. The pasta was al dente, but overall the dish was not very memorable. Otherwise, it was nothing to write home about. With so many options to choose from in London, I'm not sure if this is a place I will come back to. read more

Great food, service and value! Pizza Americana had just the right amount of heat/spice!

I eat lunch here every Saturday and am cannot reccomend the establishment highly enough. The food is fantastic and the staff are more like family to me. The brothers do a marvellous joob and have even planted a pineapple tree at the rear of the premises to provide fresh produce just for me! Not to be missed if you are in the area and need feeding.
