Master Critic Review
Nella Pizza e Pasta
8.8
A Hyde Park destination for Neapolitan-style pies and pastas, built around a blistered crust and classic topping combinations. It’s a sit-down spot with enough polish for a proper night out while still working as a straightforward “one pie + one salad” dinner plan.

Margherita, Diavola, Nella D.O.P.
