Pizza is definitely good in general, quality mostly seen in Italy. It is relatively oily so be warned. Great arancina (battered rice balls with different fillings). A nice, but not a huge range of pizza at any one point which means it can be a question whether they have the pizza you like. Besides pizza and arancina they have a... More

This place is one of them you would never think to find outside of Italy. It is basically a pizzeria with extended menu: pasta, salads and... arancine (or supplì), the rice balls famous in Rome, really good and strongly recommended! Price is also reasonable. More

Good Sicilian pizzas in nice setting. Friendly service and good value. Salads etc less spectacular. Kid friendly. More

For sure the espresso is one of the best you can find in London, real Italian .. but I expected something more about the quality of food and also about the environment. We cannot define it a restaurant, it's just a take away shop or a simple bar .. More

Just been to Arancina for my lunch - didn't have any change for a tip, so I thought I would write a review instead (big tip next time, I promise!!). The food is delectable & authentic - you can buy from the counter hot or cold to take away. You can also sit in the back and get waiter service.... More

Cheap pizza and casual setting make this a great alternative to a brunch fry up. More

I believe this is one of the best places for a pizza in London. The restaurant (Westbourne Grove) has an electric oven (normally pizzas are baked in brick ovens) but the quality of the raw materials and the expertise of their pizza makers make it really one of the best spots in central London. The place has also a decent... More

I could happily visit this restaurant every lunchtime! The only thing more delicious than the food here are the gorgeous Italian waiters, ciao bello! More

Arancina is a small Sicilian restaurant recently opened up on Westbourne Grove. It is located in premises that unless recently were a dodgy-looking Caribbean chicken place called Mister Jerk, and not long before that a Mexican canteen named Burritos. It seems to be so new that an internet search does not even bring up their full address, although web information... More
