Garum is an Italian restaurant at 68 Queensway led by Roman chef Arcangelo Dandini. The kitchen draws its identity from Rome, combining familiar trattoria flavours with a polished dining room close to Bayswater and Kensington Gardens.
Roman fried snacks such as supplì make an inviting beginning, followed by handmade pasta and regional classics. Carbonara and amatriciana express the direct style of the cooking, where good pasta, cured pork, cheese and carefully balanced sauces do the work.
Pizza broadens the choice for casual meals, while seafood and meat dishes give diners a route beyond pasta. Preparations such as octopus and steak are handled with the same preference for clear ingredients and robust seasoning rather than unnecessary complication.
Italian wine and classic desserts, including tiramisu, complete the experience. Garum suits anything from a plate of pasta and a glass of wine to a longer dinner exploring several parts of a distinctly Roman menu.
Address: 68 Queensway, London W2 3RL, England
