Restaurant review: Theo's Simple Italian, Earl's Court

The Resident checks out Theo’s Simple Italian, Theo Randall’s latest easy dining option What do you look for in a great local restaurant?

Easy access from your home of course, but also a great menu and friendly staff so you’ll return time and time again.

In two spacious rooms at the Hotel Indigo in Barkston Gardens renowned chef Theo Randall has created Theo’s Simple Italian, a friendly neighbourhood restaurant that really works.

Theo’s Simple Italian is the sort of place you can go for a blow-out three-course dinner with friends or simply a plate of pasta and a glass of wine by yourself; there are no rules or expectations here and it’s casual dining at its very best.

Cleverly, most of the menu is offered in different portion sizes so you can choose what you want, depending on how hungry you are.

Theo’s falls on the swish side of things, a sourdough pizza place that provides proof, as if you needed it, that the pared back, whitewashed, minimal look is still the go-to style in 2016.

Theo’s takes the look and runs with it, something we had concerns about on the few times we’d walked past and glanced into what looks a little too blank a canvas for our taste.

However, get inside, get a little music inside your head, some low lighting and the sound of a rumbling general hubbub and it’s all good.

Pizza is all that’s on offer at Theo’s in terms of food bar some basic antipasti - what more do you need?

A Negroni Bianco and La Bicyclette are two Campari infused concoctions that have us coming over all sentimental for an Italy we don’t even know - proof of how good they are.Relaxed, informal, friendly and just as geared towards families as it is large groups and intimate occasions, Theo’s was a surprise that we could make a habit of.

Meal for two, including drinks and service: £110 Lunch at Theo’s Simple Italian is like my eyesight in middle age: it fails slowly.

A decade ago, he opened his own restaurant in a windowless room at the InterContinental Hotel on London’s Hyde Park Corner.

I’m not convinced, because everything here is them: the good snacks, the lacklustre fish stew, the forgotten zucchini fritti, and the apparent attempt to tap us down twice for the tip.

■ Cucina Asellina, on London’s Strand, describes itself as a New York Italian, and there is something to that, especially in the big flavours, from the deep-fried olives stuffed with veal and parmesan through to platters of well-chosen charcuterie and cheeses (asellina.com).

■ First came news that New York chef Marcus Samuelsson is to open a London outpost of his restaurant the Red Rooster.

Sourdough pizza giant Franco Manca now has 18 restaurants across London, but one bit of the city not yet coloured in on the chain’s floury Risk board is the south-east.

Perhaps looking to beat them to the punch, Theo’s is a similar set-up, dishing up Neapolitan-style sourdough pizzas and very little else.

The wonderfully cheesy garlic pizza bread (misleadingly labelled as ‘focaccia’ on the menu) showed that Theo’s is capable of doing great things with simple ingredients, and suggests that the £5 lunchtime panuozzo (essentially a pizza sandwich) is also worth checking out.

With its bare, whitewashed walls and marble-topped tables, eating at Theo’s is a bit like chowing down in an art gallery but minus the stuffy discomfort.

So watch your back, Franco – Theo’s has taken SE5, and in some style.
