Pappa Ciccia

Went for a birthday party in a large group. They were prompt with our food, but were not friendly.
The food itself was not too bad, with better than average pizza.
I definitely wouldn’t travel to go, but I might give the place another chance if I were in the area.

Pappa Ciccia has great food, and they provide it in vast quantities, a quality I definitely appreciate in an Italian restaurant. They also do BYO, but their house red is quite good and most likely the same price as buying a bottle and then paying corkage (that’s my tip), I haven’t tried the white though so can’t comment there.
Each table gets a basket of fresh bread and olive oil complimentary, if you request more you’ll be charged for each extra basket.
The pizzas are delicious. My personal favourite is the Rustica, the aubergine really beefs up your vegetable intake at lunch too. Although if you can, I’d try to split a pizza, they are full-​size and very filling.
The pasta menu is great too, in which I am including the Pollo Alla Milanese. It’s chicken, as you might’ve guessed, served crumbed and pan fried like a schnitzel, served with a side (a massive side) of spaghetti bolognese. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
At lunchtime they also have lots of take away options on the counter — including cakes and cookies which I’m yet to try, but they look amazing.
So they lose one star for the same reason that most Italian restaurants do. Slow and/​or erratic service. Not terrible, just a bit inconsistent.
I still love you though Pappa Ciccia.

Ordentliches italienisches Essen zu fairen Preisen. Hier kann man auch im Urlaub mit der ganzen Familie essen gehen.
Die Pizzen sind riesig und reichhaltig belegt. Vorneweg werden selbstgebackenes Brot und Olivenöl gereicht. Der sizilianische rote Hauswein ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Totally and utterly disagree with the negative review below. We actually found this place through Just Eat and were blown away by the standard of the pasta delivered to us.
We then visited to eat there a few weeks back on a Saturday night. We were seated immediately, and the tiny place was buzzing and had a great vibe.
We had bruschetta and mixed charcuterie for starters (the latter being HUGE and totally delicious). Then finished with pasta again and glasses of red wine.
Great service, great food. Loved it, will continue to go back and order from them.

They have a great wait staff. Everyone is very friendly and always make you feel welcome. I like the pizza and they have great specials. I go a few times a week. Worth the visit.

Worst Italian restaurant in London. Che schifo.
It is pretty difficult to do Italian food badly, but this place does it worse than that. I’ve had better 99p pizza’s from Tesco. It was truly awful and any Italian would have thrown the pizza back at them. Yuk.
DO NOT GO HERE. Of the thosands of Italians restaurants this has to be one of the worst.

Great pizza here. Shared a tasty (and spicy) pepperoni and olive concoction and a delightful Italian salad here, and both were really yummy. The pizzas are VERY thin crust, with an almost cracker like consistency– no sogginess in site! Maybe it’s not worth shlepping across London to get here, but if you live in or around Fulham, it’s well-​worth a visit. N.B.: they don’t take cards, only cash or (bizarrely) cheques, so come prepared.

In a city where lunch is often grabbed on the go (and sometimes sadly eaten in front of a laptop), I am very happy to have discovered quite possibly Fulham’s best takeaway panini! Close to Putney Bridge tube is a little Italian pizzeria-​trattoria that serves up some tasty pizzas and pastas, lovely wines and orgasmic desserts (note: the takeaway brownies will wash away your woes in two bites). However (as mentioned above), my heart goes out to Pappa Ciccia’s ‘Panini Sardo’. At a mere £3.95, you’ll find yourself enjoying a huge toasted panini filled to the brim with balsamic marinated chicken and roasted vegetables… mmmm. But what warms my cockles even further is the mini library of celebrity trash/​fashion magazines available to peruse while waiting for your nosh. For those who have time for a full lunch, Pappa Ciccia offers some great lunch deals (meal and wine for around £7) and they even have a cute little outdoor area (along with a proper indoor dining area) to tuck into your meal. As for me, I’ll continue to eat my prime panini on the go… or in this case, while typing a review. :)

My favourite casual Italian restaurant In London. I’ve been going here for the past 5 years, since I lived literally 10 steps away from my flat and it was easily accessible and perfect for lazy takeaway nights. Sitting in the back, with candlit seating, is great for a romantic evening or just dining with friends. Highly recommend the spinach ravioli with tomato sauce (not sure if its still on the menu, but they will do it if you ask!). Was in last month and the service was a bit slack, but still a great dinner.
