Da Mario Kensington

Restaurante | London | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

Restaurante italiano en Londres

El "Da Mario Kensington" es un restaurante italiano con mucha tradición en Londres, que ha operado como un negocio familiar durante más de 50 años, ganándose un lugar destacado en la zona elegante de Kensington. Fue fundado por Mario Molino, un pionero que contribuyó significativamente a popularizar la pizza en el Reino Unido, entre otros logros como cofundador de la famosa cadena Pizza Express en los años 60. Hoy en día, el restaurante es dirigido por su hijo Marco, quien continúa con la tradición familiar y se enfoca en la auténtica cocina napolitana. El local no solo es popular entre los lugareños, sino que también tiene una historia prominente: fue un lugar favorito de la difunta princesa Diana, quien a menudo comía aquí con sus hijos William y Harry, lo que le otorga al restaurante una reputación especial.

Experiencia de cocina napolitana auténtica

La atmósfera en el "Da Mario Kensington" es animada y acogedora, con un toque de encanto rústico que se acentúa por la arquitectura del edificio: un impresionante ejemplo de estilo gótico veneciano, construido originalmente en el siglo XVIII para la reina Victoria. El restaurante se extiende por dos plantas, con la planta baja ofreciendo un ambiente acogedor, casi hogareño, mientras que la planta superior suele estar marcada por una actividad bulliciosa. Una pequeña terraza exterior complementa el interior e invita a quedarse en días soleados. La decoración es sencilla pero cálida, con un enfoque en la funcionalidad y la comodidad, lo que hace del lugar un sitio ideal para familias, grupos o visitantes que deseen disfrutar de una comida antes o después de un evento en la cercana Royal Albert Hall.

Restaurante familiar en Kensington

Culinarmente, el "Da Mario Kensington" representa la auténtica cocina italiana, con un enfoque en los clásicos napolitanos. Las pizzas se hornean en un tradicional horno de leña, destacándose la "Quattro Stagioni" – una combinación perfecta de alcachofas, jamón, champiñones y aceitunas sobre una base crujiente que mantiene la ligereza típica napolitana. También es muy popular la "Salsiccia Friarelli", una pizza con salchicha italiana y brócoli silvestre, que convence con sus sabores picantes y frescos. Los platos de pasta también son un punto destacado, como los "Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Pomodori", que con su mezcla simple pero intensa de ajo, aceite de oliva y tomates frescos ponen de relieve la calidad de los ingredientes. Para concluir con un dulce, el tiramisú casero, con su textura cremosa y el equilibrio perfecto entre café y mascarpone, deleita a muchos comensales.

Pizza horneada en horno tradicional

El restaurante otorga gran importancia a la procedencia de sus ingredientes, muchos de los cuales son importados directamente de Italia para garantizar la autenticidad, como la mozzarella de Nápoles o los tomates San Marzano. La cocina trabaja con técnicas tradicionales, como la fermentación lenta de la masa de pizza, que intensifica el sabor. Además de los platos principales, el "Da Mario" ofrece una selección de antipasti, como una burrata fresca con tomates, que celebra la simplicidad de los sabores italianos, así como una impresionante carta de bebidas con vinos italianos y el popular Aperol Spritz, que sabe especialmente bien en la terraza.

Restaurante con historia de celebridades

El servicio es a menudo descrito como cálido y eficiente, con un equipo que en su mayoría está compuesto por empleados italianos que aportan un toque personal al servicio. Es particularmente notable la amabilidad del personal, que incluso en momentos de alta afluencia se esfuerza por brindar a los clientes una experiencia agradable, ya sea a través de recomendaciones o mostrando disposición para atender solicitudes especiales. El local es apto para familias y ofrece un ambiente relajado que, aun así, mantiene un toque de exclusividad, no menos por su historia prominente y su cercanía a la escena cultural de Londres.

Waitress spilled a shrimp in my shirt and brand new pants. I tried to get the stain away from my pants, but had to throw them away.

Pizzeria was absolutely brilliant! The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind, special thanks to Steven, who made the experience even better with his fantastic service. As for the food, the Pizza Vesuvio was simply stunning, perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and easily one of the best I’ve had. Every bite was a delight! I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend! 🍕✨

去英國玩時朋友推薦這家餐廳 幾乎都很好吃 墨魚海鮮麵 起司蕈菇麵……等海鮮類都很好吃 唯一覺得吃起來比較普通的是牛肉寬麵

It has been a really long time since I’ve been to Da Mario’s, and this was my first time trying their pasta. I thought it was great. I was expecting the spaghetti to be more al dente but it was still good.

The food is very tasty, I can only recommend it. (King Prawns in Garlic and Chilli Olive Oil, Seafood Pasta, Rigatoni al Forno, Tiramisu) Service is quick and nice too.

Me and my girlfriend made a reservation at Da Mario on the 11th January, for our 1st anniversary together on the 19th January at this restaurant. When booking it we made it very clear to them that it was a very special date to us and we requested if they could give us a nice table on the day. When we got there, one of the waiters treated us in a very rude way and made us wait outside of the restaurant for a good 10 minutes, without even greeting us. When we finally got inside of the restaurant the waiter that took us to our table was not receptive at all. They put us in a horrible table next to the bar where loads of people were passing by and all we could hear was the sound coming from the bar (there were many nice tables available when we got there). After ordering, the food came pretty quickly, however, my girlfriend's pasta was almost cold and my gnocchi tasted like mashed potato with a lot of flour, I was not able to eat 1/3 of it. When we finished our mains, the waiter asked if we would like any desserts, so we said that we would like some time to think. The WORST PART was when not even 5 minutes after they asked us for deserts, they came back with the bill (we did not ask for it), when we were not even there for an hour and again was our anniversary. We had to pay immediately and leave because apparently they had another reservation. When paying, we asked if the service charge could be removed from the bill. After the waiter left our table he started saying bad things about me and my girlfriend to his colleague in italian, he was just not counting on the fact that I would understand ;) Overall, the experience was horrible and they made our anniversary dinner awful. I would never recommend this restaurant or spend my money here ever again.

Bit disappointing. Normally have a great time but found this visit below standard. Squeezed into a table right by the door, the door was virtually never shut as people kept coming to try and get a table despite the sign saying no walk ins, the staff then held discussions with them in the open doorway. Cold, uncomfortable and unable to relax and enjoy our meal. Look after your customers better.

Restaurant très bruyant - plats trop salés et très loin des standards italiens malgré les avis précédents

Food was horrific, partner found a bone in her pizza, and I was sick upon leaving after my food. Tried to make us pay a surcharge and wine was awful too. Princess Diana would not be going here in this day and age!!! Zero atmosphere

One of the most famous restaurants in Kensington. Everything’s quite nice, I’d say pasta is usually better than the pizza. Nevertheless I never leave the place fully happy somehow, it’s a bit of a love hate relationship? I enjoy the food but at the same time not so much? Maybe a bit of a weird review but that’s my truth. I’ve been there multiple times and it always happens! The place is beautiful, the food is beautiful but I’ve got the feeling is not as tasty as it looks? Anyway, nice place, enjoyable.

I had a lovely, warm, moving birthday evening here. As the birthday music was accompanied by staff singing, a beautiful lemon cake and applause from all the other guests, I spent the last day of my 26th year. Thank you Steven and all the restaurant team staff and all those who wished me well this evening, I wish you all a wonderful evening!

Overrated 'Italian' tasteless experience all around, Stay well away unless you wanted a table in the toilet. A disgrace to the Italian culture and food authenticity.
