"I found this lovely-looking afternoon tea, and I really wanted to try it. This spot is inside the beautiful Kensington Hotel. We walked in from the main front door of the Kensington hotel, and the staff guided us towards the back to where the Town House is located. Once seated, our server explained their current afternoon tea offering. It is called the London Landmarks Afternoon Tea, and features all the major landmarks around the city. The menu was quite lovely, and came with a London map of all the notable and historic landmarks. The afternoon tea will feature many of these landmarks, and you get to see what they are, and where they are. The map is given to the patrons as a souvenir, which I thought was really nice! First, we were served with their “Savouries” course. I didn’t know we were going to receive anything other than whatever comes on the three-tier afternoon items, so we were delighted! They were all so very tasty! After we were finished with them, they brought out this beautiful stand in the shape of London Eye! Wow! They call their menu “a celebration of London” and I totally agree! It was fun to eat desserts in the shapes of famous buildings. The service was excellent! Courteous, warm, and polite. We were very well taken care of the entire time. Thank you! If you are in London and want to try some tasty afternoon tea, filled with everything that is London, give this place a try!"

"I recently visited Ritorno with a friend for a dinner. The atmosphere was intimate and the modernized interior was extremely fashionable. The terrace surrounding the restaurant, besides the huge representation of Italian wines behind the bar, there was an authentic feeling. The service was very friendly and friendly. Ritornos specializations presented in small, tapas-style dishes, very elegant. For the starters we had the Pizza Fritta, a charcoal pizza, accompanied by a Camembert cheese fondant, which is an ideal serving size for a entrée and tasted fantastic! The main thing consisted of Fassona beef tars, tuna tars with avocado and avocado cream, grilled octopus with Sicilian ratatouille, slowly baked beef with Ragu Tagliatelle, meerrot salmon and serrated spinach, Turnip Langoustine ragu with homemade cavatelli, pistachios of bronte and one side of the flower coal. All these dishes were freshly prepared and had a real taste of genuine Italian cuisine. There wasn't too much of any court and I couldn't make any mistakes. Then the homemade apple tea came with vanilla ice cream for dessert, which is the perfect sweet to finish the meal. The fact that it is homemade (and tasty) was really added to the general authenticity of the restaurant. We had a nice evening in Ritorno’s and would recommend it to friends! It was warm and welcoming and the food was not disappointed. My only regret is that I no longer tried the famous cocktails they are proud of and that looked amazing. I can't wait to come back soon!"
