Cacciari’s South Kensington is an Italian restaurant and piadineria at 82 Old Brompton Road. Established in 2009, it takes inspiration from the trattorias of Bologna and focuses on fresh ingredients, house prepared pasta, sauces and desserts in a welcoming dining room.
Fresh pasta is one of the main reasons to visit. Tagliatelle Bolognese, tortelloni with spinach and ricotta, pappardelle with beef ragù and tagliolini with crab and prawns sit alongside regional favourites such as cacio e pepe and amatriciana.
The menu also includes pizza, piadina flatbreads and substantial meat or fish dishes. Burrata, beef carpaccio and truffle arancini work as starters, followed by choices such as chicken Milanese, grilled steak, sea bass, salmon or pizza with combinations of Italian cheese and cured meat.
Breakfast is served daily, with longer morning service at weekends, before the restaurant moves into lunch and dinner. Italian desserts, wine and classic cocktails make it easy to build a complete meal, while vegan mozzarella and gluten free pasta offer useful alternatives for some diners.
Address: 82 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3LQ, England
