Saponara - London

We shared both pasta and pizza. The pasta was excellent. The pizza was very good too but the base was very salty.

Friendly staff and great pizza’s, one of the nicest we have tried... would have given an excellent rating if the owner wasn’t so pretentious and a bit up himself, I was annoyed!

If it was, I'm fairly sure my wife and I would be there weekly. It is an awesome little place....and it is little. If they accept reservations, I would make one. True Italian! I think 70% of the patrons were speaking Italian on the night we were there. The food and atmosphere are great.

It is a small family restaurant really worth visiting (highly recommend making a reservation). We came for a freshly made pasta and didn't regret it. Italian deserts like Tiramisu and Cannoli were also very tasty. Owner was very nice to us and has great sense of humor. Highly recommend!

Tucked away on a small shopping parade and easily missable, Saponara is well worth seeking out. Although the menu highlights a generous choice of pizzas, the pasta dishes (the selection of the day cleverly explained at your table with a visual sample of each) proved the highlight of our meal. The homely rustic interior has limited table space, which is not a problem in summer when the seating area extends outside, but safer to reserve in advance to be sure of being accommodated. Another nice touch is the vegetarian amuse bouche which prepares you for what is to come. Good Sicilian house wine and an excellent tiramisu completed our satisfying meal. Service was efficient and friendly: don't hesitate to try this authentic hideaway.
