Charlotte Ell Had to leave a review after the best night here! After spending days struggling to find a restaurant in London that would take a booking for 11 with no silly set menus and ridiculous deposits, I came across Vardo. This was the perfect venue to have a special 30th dinner with my gals! The vibes were lush, food yum with a good variety in the menu. And service was impeccable with all the staff wishing me a happy birthday, and being accomodating to a sneaky birthday treat brought in from a friend. Thank you for the wonderful evening! 10/10 would recommend and will be back.

SB I never give five star reviews but Lucios truly deserves one! The food is exceptionally good, the service is impeccable. Warm, friendly and unobtrusive. The restaurant is small enough to be intimate but large enough to feel social. Pasta was fantastic. Lamb chops superb. Dessert mind-blowing. Great wine list at very reasonable prices. I couldnt have been happier... It ticks every box of what an Italian restaurant should be.

Roxy Williams I’m so glad I popped in. I was on my way home and looking for somewhere to enjoy a glass of wine and maybe some olives. Ricardo’s looked so inviting, and after a quick glance at the menu I knew I couldn’t just have olives. The atmosphere inside was warm and cosy, fairy lights and candles gave it a wonderful warm glow. All the staff were friendly and attentive. My glass was always topped up, I was made to feel incredibly welcome, and the atmosphere was just right. The food was PERFECT. The bread and olives were divine - I could have easily filled up on them. The linguine with clams was rich and delicious, with a generous amount of garlic and just the right little kick of chilli. Make sure you save room for dessert - the tiramisu was divine. I’m so sp glad I stopped by on a whim, and I will definitely be back again!

Naz K Came here as a large group to celebrate a birthday and the atmosphere really stood out chic, lively, and perfect for a special night. Service was great and the staff were amazing. The food was really tasty. We enjoyed the filetto di bosco, Alba tagliatelle, and the carpaccio especially was great. Spicy margaritas were also really good. The only thing I didn’t love was the baby artichoke salad. Overall, it felt like a polished fine dining experience. I loved the elegant table setting and the whole vibe. Would definitely come back and recommend it.

boicu samson I had a great experience at Ziani — a charming neighbourhood Italian spot that feels warm the moment you step inside. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with a real sense of history and personality in the décor. It’s tucked away on a quiet street, which adds to the cosy, local feel. The food was excellent. I went for seafood pasta, and it came out perfectly balanced — fresh seafood, rich sauce, and cooked exactly right. The starter was equally impressive, simple but done with care and quality ingredients. Portion sizes were spot on, and the presentation matched the flavour. Service was another highlight. Staff were attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and everything moved smoothly from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you feel looked after. Overall, Ziani delivers that classic Italian comfort with genuine hospitality. I’d happily return — it’s a reliable, welcoming choice for a relaxed dinner in Chelsea.

Morne Gabriels After a bit of a walk from Battersea we stopped here for some brunch. Despite being a cool overcast day we were able to sit outside under heaters. Probably had the best eggs weve ever tasted. Simple poached eggs on sourdough was beautiful and avocado and poached eggs on cornbread with a chilli sauce was a light delight. A fresh English Bacchus white wine was a beautiful accompaniment. The staff were accommodating and helpful. The restaurants on the ground and upper floors look exquisite with its ambience and decor. I bet this place is an absolute hit in spring and summer time.
