London
Best Italian in London.
Harry's top 10 Italian spots in London score 89–90 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
Shortcuts show. Italian cooking is the hardest to fake because it has nowhere to hide — no sauce heavy enough, no portion large enough to disguise mediocre pasta. Harry cares whether it was made in-house. The red-checked tablecloth is irrelevant.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
