Bizzarro is a longstanding Italian restaurant on Craven Road near Paddington station and Hyde Park. Established in 1957, it draws on the cooking and hospitality of the Abruzzo region, offering a warm, traditional dining experience for travellers, local residents, families and groups.
Antipasti, salads, pizza and pasta provide a broad introduction to the menu. Tomato, garlic, herbs, vegetables, cured meat and Italian cheeses appear across familiar combinations, while lasagne, filled pasta and house sauces offer the comforting richness expected from a classic Italian restaurant.
Risotto, fish, shellfish, steaks and other meat dishes extend the choice beyond pizza and pasta. Generous portions and a wide range of recipes allow a table to share starters before choosing very different main courses, with vegetarian options included throughout the selection.
Italian wine, coffee, tiramisu and other traditional desserts bring the meal to a familiar conclusion. Service continues through lunch and late dinner on most days, making Bizzarro useful for a meal before a train, an evening with friends or a relaxed celebration close to Paddington.
Address: 18–22 Craven Road, Paddington, London W2 3PX, United Kingdom
