Saporitalia (Notting Hill)

• This Naples style pizzeria was established by Franco and Valentino Ferro
• The room having a rustic feel with its terracotta tiles and exposed brickwork
• A classic Margherita pizza was priced at £
• Antipasti dishes were from £
• The salad components were of basic supermarket level
• The sardines oddly tasteless for a fish with such a distinct flavour (11/20)
• The base a little firm and crisp by comparison with those of my benchmark pizzerias Sacro Cuore and Franco Manca
• The manager was very welcoming
• Somewhere I would go back to if it was located at the bottom of my road
• I had a classic Margherita with tomatoes and mozzarella
• The restaurant is not costly to be in Notting Hill area
• Cosy place that was rammed at around three o'clock
• A kind of golden encrusted fried mozzarella sandwich which is terribly rich but totally delicious
• A bowl of mussels and clams and the pacchero with veal meatballs in a tomato sauce with parmesan
• Mozzarella and ricotta were ordered as the mains
• The grilled sardines were simple and very tasty indeed
• The mozzarella in carroza was wonderfully rich as predicted and the flavours were brought together beautifully by the intenseness of the tomato sauce
• The mussels and clams were in a lovely broth and served with Italian toasted bread
• Whilst the star of the show was undoubtedly the pachero with the meatballs
• Large tubes of al dente pasta were filled with the most gorgeous
• Cheesy filling and the veal was light and hugely complimentary to the dish
• We certainly made the right choice of wine to enjoy with our lunch to boot
• The rents on Portobello road must be eye wateringly high and the bill for lunch was over eighty pounds I would say a tad over priced but when everything is just right
• It so rarely is these days
• We were offered a complimentary glass of limoncello to finish off our meal and the service throughout was really pleasant and professional
• This restaurant is such a typical Italian restaurant
• I had also a pizza dell'orto but unfortunately it was not nothing special
• While Laura Poerio had pappardelle al tartufo and she was really pleased instead
• Authentic Italian restaurant with good variety of simple tasty Italian dishes
• I would recommend the parpadelle with black truffle
• Owners and staff are also Italian
• Good food and some good wines so it is definitely a good pick for italian around notting hill
• I ordered the Sea Bass Fettucini which turned out to be the best Fettucini I have ever tasted (and I've tasted a lot in various international locations)
• Tony had Chicken roasted with Rosemary which was absolutely superb
