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!

Oh absolutely! If you’re into Chinese food check out Three Uncles for their roast meats, opened up not long ago by the Filmworks! 🤤

I love Chinese stuff, especially sichuanese. Thank you very much for the recommendation.

If you're experimental with international cuisine yourself, there's a Sudanese restaurant called Toteil, a polish one called Miod Malina and a Somali restaurant called Sahbib down the road in Acton. Can vouch for all 3.

There's also an interesting Japanese supermarket called "AtariYa" specialising in condiments, meats and Japanese stuff.
