Nonna Selena Pizzeria is an Italian restaurant at 18 Woburn Place in Bloomsbury, close to Russell Square and Euston. Opened in 2019 and named after the founder's grandmother, it aims for a warm, colourful atmosphere with indoor dining, a private room and a cosy outdoor seating area.
Pizza covers classics such as Margherita, Napoli and four cheese alongside combinations with salami, ham, mushrooms, tuna or vegetables. The pasta selection ranges from tomato and basil or arrabbiata to carbonara, Bolognese, pesto, smoked salmon and homemade lasagne.
Bruschetta, Caprese salad, cured meats and minestrone provide familiar Italian openings. Diners looking beyond pizza and pasta can choose grilled sea bream or salmon, fried calamari, chicken Milanese, chicken cacciatore and grilled lamb cutlets.
Italian white and red wines, Prosecco, aperitifs and digestifs accompany the food, with coffee and a dessert trolley to finish. Daily service until late makes Nonna Selena useful for lunch, an early family meal or a relaxed dinner after exploring central London.
