La Pappardella

The food was absolutely fantastic with generous portions and reasonable prices. However, I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars due to an unfortunate encounter with a staff member during my visit. Recently, I've developed gluten intolerance, and I tend to avoid wheat-based dishes because I find that gluten-free substitues often lack the same taste. I selected a dish that appeared to be naturally gluten-free and asked the staff member if it was indeed gluten-free. To my surprise, he responded rather rudely, insisting that I should simply request a gluten-free meal, without answering my specific question. When I attempted to clarify, he repeated his initial response slowly and with visible irritation. His reaction left everyone at the table shocked, and I must admit I've never encountered such behavior in any restaurant worldwide! Despite the exceptional quality of the food, a rare find in London, this unfortunate experience made it impossible to ever come back

I ordered a calzone and a Cola Zero. The coke cost £2.80 which I think is quite a lot as it was only 0.33ml in size. It wasn't served either, just put there. There was also a glass with ice and a slice of lemon. The calzone was very large. Larger than a standard pizza plate and would be served beautifully. The standard calzone here is filled with mozzarella, salami and ham. Unfortunately the filling wasn't well distributed, but that didn't bother me. The calzone had a little tomato sauce on and alongside it. Unfortunately I found this a bit too sweet. There were two of us in the restaurant and we paid just under £40, which is a bit expensive. Every pizza could also be gluten-free for an extra £3. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
