On the former Kensington site of Timo (RIP), a new mid-range Italian of some ambition; there were some real highlights on our early-days visit, but many aspects of the operation were still very much in need of 'tightening up'.

Celebrating a birthday, we headed to this new Kensington Italian whose charms - of cuisine, if not of setting - have already been sung elsewhere.

The layout seems to have been largely inherited from Timo, a restaurant which itself, in its day, had quite a name for its Italian cuisine.

And then we waited a bit more.

There had been hints on our visit that there is indeed a good restaurant here struggling to get out' but, in our view, it needs someone to 'get a grip' if it's ever going to be liberated.

Pizzicotto Restaurant - Kensington London UK Italian Wood Fired ...

Inspired by the tradition of Italian neighbourhood haunts, Pizzicotto is the lively sister restaurant to the 50 year old Kensington gem ‘Il Portico’.

A local Pizzeria and Osteria where the humble pizza & neighbourhood cuisine is reimagined & the tradition of cooking over wood is celebrated.

Like Il Portico there is heavy emphasis on the ‘Terra Madre’ of Emilia Romagna with a tight network of small scale & artisanal food producers from the region supplying the restaurant exclusively and directly.

On any given day you can find organic charcuterie produced by the same family for over 235 years, rare breed & wild produce, unfiltered & artisanal beers, Chianina beef, & daily handmade pasta.

Our Pizze are made exclusively with stone ground, organic flour from a mill from the Apennine mountains, & proofed for a full 72 hours ensuring a complex, light, and delectable base.

REVIEW: Pizzicotto, Kensington High Street, Kensington, London ...

Finding a good, classic Italian restaurant in London is harder than it sounds.

A wood fired bistro and pizzeria serving classic, modern Italian food in the heart of Kensington.

The burrata with chargrilled zucchini and confit tomato was a fantastic showcase of Italian produce with juicy fresh burrata, zucchini so thin and smokey its flavour lingered in your mouth for minutes after and the sweet tomatoes rounded it all off.

With a wood fired oven at this restaurants core it comes with no surprise that the pizzas here are absolutely stunning.

while others are creating variations of Italian cuisine with new and exotic ingredients, Pizzicotto are quietly cooking traditional modern Italian food on Kensington High Street with currently only its locals in the know – though I’ve no doubt that’s all about to change.
