Missing my grandmas cooking and looking for some proper Italian restaurants in London.

Will be eating there alone so would prefer somewhere that does lunch, and looking around Central/South East London.

Anyone know any?

If you don't mind a chain, I can recommend the following branches of Strada:

Kensington High St
Baker Street
Brunswick Centre (Russell Sq)
Blackheath

I would love to know if this is still any good, it's still there anyway!
La Dolomiti in New Eltham was very good when I last went 20 yrs ago!

Bit posh for me ok if I was going with my husband but wouldn't feel comfy eating there alone.

Thanks though.

Forgot to say no chains, looking for some proper pasta like mama(or grandma) used to make. Don't think I would get that at Strada.

Il Portico on Kensington High Street - fabulous food and a very warm welcome. And it's been there a while (since 1967) so they must be doing something right!

If this is not too far away I would highly recommend. The food is delicious and they are just as happy if you go in for a plate of pasta or the full blown 7 course tasting menu!

All the staff are Italian and very welcoming.

Hmmm, have an anniversary coming up - think I know where
I will be going

Add another to this. It's a lovely place, great food, wine and service, I've been there dozens of times and never been disappointed. If you have a taste card, you also get 50% off.

Which bit of 'no chains' didn't you understand?

Santore, Exmouth Market EC1. I've always ordered the pizza, but I have tried friend's pasta dishes and they have been very good.

I've also heard great things about Sartori in Leicester Square area, but I've not been. If you have a Taste card, they're valid here so shouldn't cost you too much to give it a try.

Angela Hartnett's place Murano is amzing and really welcoming. You can see her through the open kitchen- the Risotto Milanese blew my mind!
