Ida - City of London,Westminster

When they are in West London, ida is the place to go. one of the only restaurants in london with hand-rolled pasta, ida has character, a great atmosphere and naturally delicious eating. the personal is attentive and the service is great. try the tagliatelle ragu marchigiano. this twist on the classic tagliatelle ragu is delicious. the handmade pasta sucks in the delicious sauce and one is provided with a generous bowl of parmesan without asking! (this is very rare in my experience with Italian restaurants) I often go here and will continue to do so. I strongly recommend ida.

My partner lives locally at this place, so I jumped to the chance when we had time. as soon as they go in them, they are greeted by the fantastic aroma of their kitchen. there are so cozy and romantic with candles and flowers on every table. the menu is small, but everything looks tempting. I chose the gnocchi that was handmade with Gorgonzola sauce and walnuts. it was perfect. just like I like to eat, but pack a punch with the taste. the chocolate cake with hot chocolate sauce and mandling for dessert was also a great finish. this is a fantastic place I recommend to everyone who likes Italian cuisine!

I had not expected much when I found this place, as it is a lonely restaurant in a quiet neighbourhood, although I liked the cozy decoration. I order the menu povero a glass red wine with a selection of pasta. I have lived in italia for 1.5 years, so I tried a little pasta before, but I must say the spaghetti alla carreteria were absolutely delicious! so good I asked about brot to leave nothing in the plate. the brot was also very good. after that I had the dark chocolate panacotta, which was a good dessert to finish this meal. I recommend this place definitiw.

Beautiful little event that I recently discovered (although I have lived in the opposite for 9 years!) good eating and beautiful ambiente about the place would recommend!

Ida is in a very pretty corner shop towards the back end of Queen’s Park. We walked in to find a basic dining room with open kitchen and lots of vintage accoutrements adorning the walls. To my mind just what you want in a neighbourhood restaurant. Around 1/2 the 12 or so tables were full which was a good sign for a weekday lunchtime. That was probably helped by the lunchtime special, 1 course for £5.95 or 2 for £9.95 from a good selection of antipasti, primi, secondi and dessert. We ordered the ubiquitous Peroni (Moretti was also on offer) and they also had a blood orange Pellegrino drink which I hadn’t seen before.
