"It was my first time in London and my friends and I craved Italian. We wanted to go out for dinner but somewhere close to our Airbnb and stumbled upon this place… We hit the jackpot. Our first night we had 3 pizzas and a pasta. Their special, Pizza Picante, was to die for. And their chocolate soufflé??? I’ve never tasted anything so rich, so delicious as that soufflé. We enjoyed the ambiance so much and the staff, that we made a reservation for our last night. Let me just say that Carlos, is the sweetest and most attentive person and made both of our visits feel amazing. I highly recommend this place and the shots of Limoncello and Amaretto? Perfection. Will come again when I’m back!"

Very near the stadium , went before a concert. Really nice pizza and pasta. Decent service. Was busy so worth booking rather than turning up.

This restaurant is a great choice before heading to a concert at the Emirates. The pizzas were delicious and the staff was friendly. The prices were reasonable. Overall, a lovely place to dine.

We live locally so we often come here and I just wanted to write a review to say how awesome it is! This may be a local place but the food is truly delicious and the specials are always great! Staff are lovely too and always lovely to my kids. View menu

I have been coming to Il Guscio regularly since it opened, with my kids and with friends and family. It is the perfect neighbourhood restaurant. Carlos and the team go out of their way to make you feel welcome, the food and wine is always delicious, and you never feel rushed here. Il Guscio is a gem

This restaurant is everything you could want from a local dining spot. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is lively yet laid-back, the food is unassuming yet always delicious, and they always offer a complimentary drink. It's impossible not to enjoy a fantastic evening here.

We were visiting family who stay nearby and they suggested going here. They hadn't been before but had heard good reports. Surprisingly for a Monday evening, there were quite a few other diners. All the food we chose was well prepared and served with a smile. Staff were friendly and efficient and happy to help. View menu

This is my 5th visit to Il Guscio and I honestly can’t fault it! The food is delicious I had the Quattro Formaggio pizza which was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere and ambience. The best bit about the restaurant is the brilliant service. Carlos and all his staff are attentive, friendly and make every visit there memorable. I can’t wait to visit again. Recommend it to everyone.

Possibly the most welcoming, accommodating hospitable restaurant I have ever been too. Not to mention the absolutely wonderful food honestly could not have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. After an all day event we arrived quite late and were instantly welcomed with big smiles and seated straight away. The food was faultless and of the highest quality. The staff were absolutely fabulous even offering a phone charger to us when they knew we’d been at an event all day had a train to catch. I just wish I lived nearer so we could return more often!
