Went to grab a late lunch, three adults and two kids. The place was packed and supper busy. Even with that the servers were very friendly and caring. The pizza Napolitano was delicious. Nice pieces of anchovy and a great crisp on the crust. Pizza Daviolo was spicy. Had Italian beers and delicious Italian deserts like tiramisu and affogato.

Food is pretty good and not expensive. However, if you come at around 12:30pm, you might need to queue for tables. I walked in and was given a seat close to the entrance but it’s really packed. Once I have finished the food and drinks, the waitress already hand me the bill. I can understand the shop is not tiny but the dining experience is a bit too fast which I didn’t expect.

Wonderful meal at Pierino restaurant, garlic pizza bread first and then the new swordfish carpaccio. Delicious, delicate flavours. Amazing choice of cocktails and mocktails. Excellent service and felt very special.

A lovely spontaneous dinner at Pierino, South Kensington.
We came across Pierino by chance while walking past and decided to stop in without a reservation. Although there were no tables available inside, we were kindly offered a table outside. Despite it being December, the evening was dry and mild, and with the heaters in place we were perfectly comfortable, seated just by the entrance to the restaurant.
We started with olives and bruschetta. The olives, three different varieties, were excellent, and the bruschetta was fresh and full of flavour. For mains, I had the pasta with king prawns and langoustines, which was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended. My friend ordered the Diavola pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had a very good rosé with our meal and shared a tiramisu for dessert, a lovely way to finish the evening.
The service was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, and the overall experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. I would happily recommend Pierino and would be glad to return.

Great spot near the natural history museum. I enjoyed the egg tagliatelle pesto. The pest was not overbearing, but soft and savory. The pasta texture was satisfying. We enjoyed the house wine and also a perfectly cooked pizza.
