The coffe is absolutely the best in the area,Food is unmatched and the atmosphere is gorgeous definitely coming back
I recently dined at this charming little restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service that made us feel right at home. The food was simply delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. But the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the tiramisu - hands down the best in town! The portions were just right, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. Bathrooms were spotless, a detail that didn’t go unnoticed. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Cucina di Ina, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. For starters, I enjoyed the Garlic Bread, Parmigiana, and Calamari fritti e Zucchini. The garlic bread was soft and perfectly done, a comforting start to the meal. The Parmigiana and Calamari were also exceptional, with rich flavors and just the right textures.For the main course, I had the lamb cutlets accompanied by mixed roasted vegetables and fries. Everything was cooked to perfection, with the lamb being tender and the vegetables beautifully seasoned.The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every detail was just right. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.If you're looking for authentic, delicious food served in a welcoming environment, I highly recommend La Cucina di Ina!
I've been a regular at Ina's for over a year, and it has become a second home for my family and me. The restaurant may be small, with only about ten tables, but it's filled with warmth and charm.Ina, the owner, is absolutely amazing. She always greets us with a smile and makes us feel welcome. Her husband, Roberto, is equally lovely, and their dedication to making every visit special is evident. The chef, Valentina, crafts some of the best dishes I've ever tasted. Each meal is an amazing, from the perfectly cooked pasta to the delicious desserts.Whether I'm there with my kids for a family meal, having a coffee on my own, or enjoying an evening with friends over a few drinks, the atmosphere is always inviting. It's clear that a lot of love and care goes into this place, and it shows in the service, the food, and the overall experience.If you're looking for a place with great food, a cozy ambiance, and wonderful people, Ina's is the place to be. Highly recommended!
Deceptive looking from the outside but they serve authentic Italian food, the closest to the food we've had in Rome. So, we'll definitely be going back and taking my Italian family there. Very tasty!
We had lunch at La Cucina Di Ina yesterday and I have to say - it was one of the best Italian dishes I've ever tried in London. And I've lived in London for about 10 years!We came there with our 2 daughters under 5yo and they loved it. The place is extremely clean and spacious, the service is fantastic, friendly and effective. Ina, the owner, greeted us in person, and we felt very welcome.Will definitely be back. I can't wait. Congrats guys, amazing work!
