Da Daniela is a traditional Italian restaurant at 49 Shirland Road in Maida Vale. The intimate neighbourhood setting has a homely character, with friendly service and a menu designed to bring familiar Italian flavours to lunches, dinners and relaxed gatherings. Guests can settle in for a full meal, while a takeaway option offers the same broad choice for dining at home.
Pizza is one of the main attractions, ranging from simple tomato and mozzarella combinations to toppings such as Italian sausage, buffalo mozzarella, cured beef, gorgonzola and nduja. Calzone and focaccia add further variety, and the concise approach keeps the focus on dough, cheese, vegetables and well matched Italian ingredients. It is an easy section to explore with a group because the pizzas lend themselves naturally to sharing.
Pasta choices move between dependable classics and stronger regional flavours. Tomato and basil, Bolognese, aubergine with mozzarella, sardines and seafood all appear in familiar formats, while chilli and nduja bring heat to selected dishes. Starters and salads introduce avocado, buffalo mozzarella, seasonal leaves and vegetables, creating lighter ways to begin or a complete meal for a smaller appetite.
The wider selection extends beyond pizza and pasta to dishes such as aubergine parmigiana, grilled fish, chicken and beef. This range gives mixed groups room to choose between comforting Italian staples and a more direct main course centred on meat, seafood or vegetables. Coffee and traditional frozen desserts provide a simple finish, preserving the easygoing spirit of a local Italian dining room.
