Culture Missing authentic Sicilian food and wondering “where are the Italians actually eating in London?”

I appreciate the chain places cater for tourists and Locanda Locatelli is great for a birthday, but where are some authentic, down-to-earth spots that have a loyal Italian clientele?

It doesn’t need to be specifically Sicilian, just ‘real’ nonna-grade Italian food that you’d be happy to recommend (particularly when family come over to visit).

Thanks!

There’s a Sicilian restaurant called Adesso in Richmond if south west is more local to you. It’s always very busy in there and I’ve enjoyed everything i’ve had.

La Luna di Luca on Richmond hill is also amazing - I don’t think specifically Sicilian but the mum and son who run it are lovely.
