ASSAGGI RESTAURANT

Assaggi Restaurant is a charming little spot in Notting Hill that serves up Italian dishes with a side of elegance. The grilled seabass is the star of the show, while the burrata and tuna tartare make for a solid start. Sure, the prices are a bit on the high side—you’re in Notting Hill after all—but if you’re celebrating something, this place does the trick. Brendan Smith noted how the upstairs was like a serene hideaway, perfect for a date or avoiding rowdy crowds.

The staff are friendly and attentive, and if you want that Italian flair, you’ll find plenty of it here. Mariia Iakovenko called it the best Italian in London, so you know it’s got a solid reputation. Just be prepared for a fish-heavy menu, as Gabriele Antonini pointed out, but honestly, who doesn’t love a good seafood dish? Just remember to bring your wallet—this isn’t your average Tuesday night dinner spot.
