Managing Director I’ve been coming to Amaretto for a long time now, and honestly, it’s become the Italian restaurant for me. The atmosphere is always warm, relaxed and genuinely welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious — hot, fresh, and clearly cooked to order.
One of the biggest things that sets Amaretto apart is how fresh everything really is. My mum can’t have garlic, and in most restaurants that’s impossible to work around because they batch-cook. Here, they simply leave it out. That kind of flexibility only happens when the kitchen is truly cooking dishes from scratch.
Over the years I’ve tried most of the menu, and everything has been excellent. Recently, for health reasons, I can only eat fish and vegetables — and even now, Amaretto is the only restaurant I still eat in. Their tuna steak, spinach, and roasted vegetables are outstanding. Fresh, flavourful, and perfectly prepared every time.
I also want to mention the owner — I don’t know his name, but he has a magnificent beard and is genuinely one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. The whole team creates a lovely, easygoing atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. I always sit at the table by the fridge; it’s become “my” spot.
Before I started coming in person, I used to order from Amaretto on Just Eat and Uber Eats. The portions were huge and the food travelled really well — another sign of how good their cooking is. But now I mainly eat in, because nothing beats the experience of being there.
To the owner and staff: thank you for all the wonderful meals and the lovely memories attached to this place. In my view, Amaretto is the best Italian restaurant in London — and I’ve been to a lot of them. I recommend it to anyone.
I honestly thought I’d already left a review, but I think the one I left was on Just Eat — so I’m correcting that now by leaving a proper Google review.
