Tucked away in the colourful streets of Neal's Yard, right in the heart of London's Seven Dials…read moredistrict, you'll find HOMESLICE -- a pizza spot that's become a favourite among locals and visitors alike. What makes HOMESLICE stand out is the ability to mix and match toppings on each half of a whole pizza, making it perfect for sharing and trying different flavour combinations. For our visit, we grabbed a couple of slices for a quick lunch while exploring the city. I went with the Salami, Rocket & Parmesan slice, which was loaded with toppings and packed with flavour, while my wife kept it classic with a Margherita slice. The slices are massive, yet the pizza remains light, crisp, and easy to eat. With its relaxed atmosphere, communal seating, and prime location near Covent Garden, HOMESLICE is an excellent stop when you need a quick bite between London attractions.

I Ordered a Margherita pizza slice (GBP5), that started off the chalkboard listing several other available varieties. It has taken the classic Neapolitan pizza ingredients and cooked and cut them up in the style of a thin New York slice. Loved it! 4/5 Sitting arrangements are there too, but of course at location like this, I would love to prefer sit outside. if you can't make it to this secret London location, don't worry. You can find Home Slice in Fitzrovia and Shoreditch

It was a short walk in Marble Arch. Franco was Sherry's grandfathers's name so it was a good sign. We saw the bright pizza sign in the window and knew we were there We walked into this large pub style place and saw a single gentleman sitting at the bar. The rest, crickets. Yet, we had a great time with our host, a young, friendly, talented pizza maker from Scotland. We got one pepperoni and one meat pie. We had been under-enthused by most food since we arrived but Franco had it going on. The crust was thin, crisp on the bottom and a nice chewy crust. The sauce was tangy and the cheese smooth. The toppings were good and more than enough. They served the pizza with two oils - a garlic oil and a hot pepper oil. Both were great. We had a chance to talk to our new Scottish friend too. It was a nice pleasantly surprising night. Franco is a nice Italian pizza option in a predominantly middle eastern food neighborhood. Thanks fro being there!

Hope to return on another visit to London.

A great 'non-sceney' local cafe where you don't need to have your botox up-to-date in order to venture in. Not fancy, but good solid comfort food with reasonable prices. The minestrone is good and the homemade lasagna is flavoursome and filling. What they lack in finesse they make up for in endearing Italian hospitality. read more

April 7, Albertini Restaurant…read more Our family of four with two kids ages 9 and 10 visited for dinner. A relaxed, casual Italian spot with great energy and strong value. It ended up being our best meal in London. Arrival and First Impressions We walked in without a reservation and were seated easily. The restaurant sits right on the street with both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant has two indoor rooms with the kitchen in one of them, and the smells immediately stand out. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the room had a great mix of locals and visitors, which gave it a fun, authentic feel. The Highlights The food was the star. I had the risotto frutti di mare, which was excellent, though it did need a bit of salt and pepper to really bring out the seafood flavor. My son, nine, had the pizza Americana without chili oil and loved it. He said the crust was moist with a crispy edge. The pepperoni had a bit of spice but he still enjoyed it. My daughter, 10, ordered the ravioli di aurora. She was not a big fan due to the spinach filling, but we swapped for a bit and she loved the risotto. I really enjoyed the ravioli. It had a soft texture with a light tomato sauce that was very well balanced. She also had the garlic mozzarella pizza, which ended up being her favorite. Simple, with garlic oil and no chunks, and really flavorful. My wife had the spaghetti con gamberoni. She found it a bit bland at first, but after adding chili oil, salt, and pepper, she really enjoyed it. The atmosphere added a lot to the experience. There were regulars nearby chatting and clearly enjoying their meals, and the staff treated them like family, which made the whole place feel warm and welcoming. The Challenges A few dishes needed seasoning to reach their full potential. It would also help to have a couple of simple kid options, like plain cheese pizza or plain pasta. Kid Logistics Overall, very easy with kids. The relaxed pace and friendly staff made it comfortable. Would We Return Absolutely. Great value, great energy, and some really strong dishes. Final Thoughts Albertini Restaurant delivers a casual, authentic Italian meal with a lively local feel. Not perfect across every dish, but easily one of our most enjoyable meals in London.

And finally the gnocchi was served very hot, with a healthy topping of cheese, simmering in a red sauce. It sounded delicious, looked appealing but unfortunately underwhelming. It was missing the depth you'd expect when it's a simple gnocchi , sauce and cheese. I'm sorry I couldn't give it a better rating.

I tried a special pasta with pecorino, butternut squash, and mushrooms which was nice and not heavy but not partial flavorful. 3 - the ambiance is great if you like a small restaurant- with maybe 10 tables and 500 sq ft of space, this restaurant has character and charm. 4 - the service was outstanding. The staff were kind and efficient. 5 - the dessert was just OK - had some scoops of ice cream and the peanutella was outstanding while the strawberry and the pistachio were just fine. 6 - the appetizer cheese plate was the real highlight of the night here. Fresh cold cuts and cheese with the most wonderful fig jam. All in all; this is a good stop and you certainly won't have a bad experience! Perhaps just not the most notable.
