If you’re visiting London and looking for the best London restaurants, you absolutely have to try this amazing Italian restaurant near London’s Paddington Station named Bizzarro. It’s such a gem and one of our best finds during our London trip! Their food was amazing—delicious, fresh ingredients, bursting with so much flavor, and came in large servings.
We spent 8 days in London during our England trip and we found Bizarro by accident on our fourth night. Straight from that trip we took in Rye, East Sussex, we found ourselves starving afterward. Since we were quite tired, we wanted to eat near our hotel, so we proceeded to look for a nice restaurant in the vicinity. A restaurant with a nice view of London would have been perfect, but we were willing to settle for one that served good food.

Best London Restaurants
We found ourselves on the steps of Bizarro after some minutes of searching. It was an Italian restaurant that looked nice and with a decent amount of customers waiting near the door. The waiting customers were what prodded us to try the place since we thought that if a restaurant had a bustling clientele, then it must be good. And boy, Bizarro didn’t just offer good food, but, better yet, it actually provided great London Italian food, making it my best Italian restaurant in London.
I didn’t get the chance to take photos of Bizzarro (I guessed that’s how famished I was that I haven’t been able to think about anything else anymore but food), but the place was nice, with an elegant decoration and cozy ambient lighting. It was also big, with a basement section that had that authentic Italian vibe. It’s one of the best London restaurants out there.
Activities in London
Risotto
I ordered their Chicken and Mushroom Risotto, which was truly amazing and an instant favorite. It was even a regular on our dinner table during the next three remaining nights we were in London. Yes, we ate at Bizzarro for the rest of our stay in London. That was how enamored we were with this London restaurant.
So back with the Chicken and Mushroom Risotto, it was really delicious. I could taste how fresh the chicken and mushrooms were, and everything was just bursting with flavor. The serving was large, too. I had another on the next evening, of course.
My travel buddies ordered the Seafood Risotto (yep, we’re kind of crazy about rice) and Carbonara, which were both excellent. The seafood was fresh and everything was tasty. And as you can see, they all have large servings.
They had another round of the Seafood Risotto during our second night at Bizzarro, a testament to how good this dish was.
Pasta
We tried their other pasta selections too, which were also absolutely yummy.
We ordered other dishes, but sorry they didn’t make it to the camera. I need to remember next time to keep on snapping photos. Anyhow, my mouth’s starting to water now looking at these photos because I’m remembering how these dishes tasted and felt in my mouth. I want to go back to London just to eat again in Bizzarro! But since I can’t yet (I’ve got other places to tick off my bucket list) and since in all probability you’re headed there in a few, I’m urging you to give Bizzarro a try because it’s very much worth your while. Bon apetito!
Bizarro is located at 18-22 Craven Road, London W2 3PX England.
