Quick info
About Portobello Pizza🍕
Portobello Pizza is a pizza restaurant in Notting Hill, London, on Ladbroke Rd. The menu goes beyond pizza to pasta, fish, meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes. The Mescalzone, half pizza and half calzone, suits anyone who cannot choose between the two, and the kitchen also offers a chef's daily special pizza. Seafood linguine sits among the pasta and seafood options, and gelato is on the menu for dessert. A private basement room is available to hire for parties, which gives groups a space of their own. Bread comes as a basket to go with the dishes.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza draws the most praise, with reviewers singling out the soft, airy crust, a Buffalo Mozzarella pizza one diner ranks above anything eaten in Italy, the Mescalzone that is half pizza and half calzone, and a chef's daily special topped with rosemary, star anise, minced meat and potato. Close behind are the seafood and pasta dishes: black tiger prawns in a rich tomato sauce, seafood linguine, a mix of fish and risotto, and a mari e monti pasta. Others mention beef carpaccio with rocket, a tender and juicy sirloin tagliata, fried zucchini and gelato. Several describe the ingredients as fresh and the cooking as authentic, with one Italian diner comparing it to Naples. Service is called friendly, warm and gracious, and the atmosphere lively and welcoming, with one reviewer calling it romantic for dates. Several say they plan to return. One reviewer suggests ordering a basket of bread to soak up every drop of the prawn sauce.

“We had a truly authentic taste of Italy at this Portobello gem. The ingredients were fresh and clearly top quality, and the dishes tasted exactly like the traditional recipes you'd find in Naples. You could really feel the passion behind every plate — this wasn't just cooking, it was a labour of love. As an Italian, I don't say this lightly: this is genuinely one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to outside of Italy. Every dish felt honest and original, with none of the shortcuts you often see in "Italian" restaurants abroad. On top of that, the service was excellent — efficient, warm, and attentive without ever feeling rushed, delivered by a team that clearly cares about what they do. Highly recommend if you're craving a real slice of Naples in London.”

“Always very nice to come back at Portobello restaurant, the fresh salad as starter was the best thing during this hot weather, and to finish the best mari e monti pasta I have ever tried. Really recommended”

“Gamberetti in Guazzetto Fresh, plump black tiger prawns simmered in rich tomato sauce — honestly, the sauce is the real star! Definitely order a basket of bread to soak up every drop Carpaccio di Manzo Delicate beef carpaccio topped with peppery rocket. Its slight bitterness perfectly highlights the pure, clean flavour of the beef Tagliata di Manzo Sirloin steak incredibly tender and juicy. Needs almost nothing — just a pinch of salt is all it takes to shine Special Pizza Chef’s daily special: soft, airy crust with a surprising, delicious combo — rosemary, a hint of star anise, minced meat, potato and tomato. Absolutely addictive, you won’t want to stop eating”
