Pierino is a family run Italian restaurant at 37 Thurloe Place in South Kensington. Its warm dining room combines the ease of a neighbourhood restaurant with a strong respect for Italian food traditions, making it suitable for a leisurely lunch, an intimate dinner or a relaxed meal with family and friends.
Antipasti bring together familiar ingredients such as bruschetta, aubergine parmigiana, burrata, cured meats and seafood. Fresh salads, minestrone and garlic bread offer lighter ways to begin, while mozzarella, basil, tomatoes and olive oil give many of the opening dishes their recognisable Italian character.
Pasta choices draw on shapes such as tortiglioni, linguine and rigatoni, alongside baked dishes and risotto prepared with vegetables, meat or seafood. Pizza and calzone are made in the Italian tradition, with classic toppings and combinations that allow diners to keep the meal simple or explore something more generous.
Main courses and daily specials broaden the menu beyond pasta and pizza, while traditional desserts provide a satisfying conclusion. Italian wines, cocktails, coffee and other drinks support the food, completing an experience centred on fresh ingredients, comforting flavours and the pleasure of sharing time around the table.
