Da Mario (South Kensington)

• One of the few London restaurants one can easily drive to anytime as there is ample parking if you are a RBKC resident
• There is an old claim that this was one of Princess Diana's favourite haunts
• The top(ground floor) is small and fills up fast so downstairs (basement) is where I've sat every time
• The service is friendly and fast
• This means the menu whilst not small is limited in range
• Culinary specialities from other regions are also conspicuous by their absence
• The only disappointment is because the rest of their food is so good
• I had an American hot with slight modifications
• Just the right amount of heat and crispy with a slight doughy tang that it should have
• They manage to get the texture right which is quite hard it seems as not many place get that right
• Though the last time the lady's fingers needed a bit more soaking as the coffee twang was slightly short
• Taste was spot on and the texture which again is very hard to get was excellent
• Everything was cozy and a very friendly staff
• The taste was quite ok for my taste although the pizza was not up to my expectations
• In London one is spoilt for choices and I feel there are many other places for better pasta and pizza
• Try the gnocchi it's the best I've ever had
• Da Mario (South Kensington) is one of my favorite Italian restaurants
• Everything is so delicious and well served
• First dish is the veg pasta
