An amazing culinary journey led single-handedly by an amazing chef and Martina explaining the ingredients, concept & process behind each dish. The langoustine were incredible and so were the cod and Irish beef. My friend liked the “bacon jam” amuse bouche (so did I). I usually do not eat desserts but the chocolate bar and Mont Blanc were incredible. Sauces are exquisite especially the dill/pickled sauce with the cod and the use of Japanese rice for the langoustine dish. I will be back. It’s basically a chef’s table experience as the restaurant has only a few tables. 10/10 and thank you Richard for sharing your passion.

Kensington

About the restaurant

Pizza and lunch is ONLY served next door at our Cafe Ottomezzo. For evening bookings, please specify if you would like Cafe/Pizzaria or Restaurant seating.

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.

We pride ourselves on our fresh, authentic Italian food and are passionate about bringing this taste to London. Our ingredients are carefully sourced from the best suppliers and many of our dishes are made with speciality Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) foods direct from Italy.

Low in sugar and high in antioxidants, this is pizza that is good for you!

Our restaurants are a little corner of Italia in south east London. Cosy but elegant, with the warmth of family-friendly service delivered with the best wood-ﬁred pizza you’ll ﬁnd outside of Naples. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Outstanding food , outstanding service. We were sat downstairs which was perfect. The pasta special was one of the nicest pastas I’ve had in ages. They made a fuss of my wife whose birthday it was, and we got lots of fun stories about Italy along the way. An extremely happy evening
