Price: Expensive
• Italian • Maida Vale
Maida Vale has a relaxed, neighbourly vibe, so it’s no surprise to find Red Pepper here among the stuccoed houses and well tended gardens. With its buzzy, bistro feel, this restaurant has stood the test of time, serving Londoners good food since 1994 (a lifetime in restaurant terms). Many locals, some of them good cooks and cookery writers, regard Red Pepper as their home away from home. The authentic pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven, is just one reason diners keep coming back; another is the friendly welcome which greets them. Cosy and informal, Red Pepper invites you to enjoy delicious homemade pasta, grills, and fresh seafood from all over Italy including the forgotten regions of Sardinia and Campania.

    So happy we found this welcoming restaurant. Silvia the hostess made us feel right at home and helped us with wine choices. She had a selection of cocktails for me too! The appetizers and entrees prepared with such detailing. The sauces fresh, light and very flavorful. We had the burrata salad, delicious spaghetti with clams, ravioli with black truffle pranwn and seabass. Thank you for a lovely evening Silvia …a pleasure meeting you !

    We love The Red Pepper. From the moment we enter to the moment we depart we savor the warm ambience, attentive and friendly wait staff, efficient but in no way hurrying service, and superb food. The menu is various and inventive without forgetting traditional favorites, and each recipe is prepared with fresh ingredients. Fish and meat is tender; vegetables are firm but not raw; sauces are perfectly spiced; pasta is al dente; and salads are crisp. This is a neighborhood gem for sure!
