If you want a nice change from British fare, I would absolutely recommend this Italian place. Not only are the vibes immaculate but so is the menu! I had already tried their restaurant in Paris so I knew the food would be great. You can't go wrong with anything truffle from the menu! I had been dreaming about this truffle pasta for days! All the food was delicious!!!

This summer I had the opportunity to dine at Gloria in London. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the vibrant atmosphere and charming decor that perfectly combines Italian flair with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The menu is a nice variety to traditional Italian cuisine, featuring a variety of dishes that cater to every palate. I started with the Burrata, which was creamy and paired beautifully with fresh tomatoes and basil. For the main course, I opted for the Cacio e Pepe--perfectly al dente with a rich, flavorful sauce. The Tiramisu was great--light, airy, and just the right level of sweetness. The staff were attentive and friendly, which made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. They were happy to recommend wine pairings that complemented our meal well.

Yelp does not seem to have the review following that I experience as my "go to" in the States, but now that you have stumbled on mine, please book a table asap.. Big Mamma Group has a slew of trendy, vibrant Italian inspired restaurants (Gloria, Circolo Popolare, Ave Maria, Jacuzzi & Carlotta) and at this visit we were in London, close to the Shoreditch Trattoria. You can head to TikTok to see a plethora of videos to decide which might appeal to you. I do not think that you can go wrong with any of them, and all command a reservation (with a deposit) way in advance. Ignore the haters, Gloria is the real deal !! How can I say this ? because Lee & I recently spent 2 weeks in Italy, from Milan to Rome in June and IMO, Gloria was some of the best tasting & presented dishes of the ones that we also loved in Bologna, Florence & the hill towns. This is not a huge space, but a charming, well curated Tuscan décor rather than a nightclub type of red velvet space. The upstairs, where we sat, had a main room that was filled with sunshine in a beautiful array of cushioned, circular banquets filled with pillows of stripes & floral. We sat in the back room, a fiesta of wine bottles and wood tables, 2 communal and one that held a party of 20 but was quickly broken down to smaller seating arrangements. We loved watching the fast paced action of decorative porcelain plates and stunning cocktails in Sicilian Moor's Heads...(This is the best explanation that I can describe) The food was beautifully presented & the menu changes monthly. We started with the Albicocca Spritz & I Hate Negroni, perfect. The Trio of Olives offered a perfect garlic-chili brine with our drinks. I would have adored the stunning Tutti Prodotti Tower, a triple tiered stand with cheeses, meat, olives made with love, but we knew it would be too much. The Big Mamma Classic Carpaccio was nothing like I have ever experienced..the delicate texture, the perfect accompaniment of rocket salad, big flakes of 22 mo. aged Parmigiano Reggiano. & balsamic reduction..Chef's Kiss !! In Truffle We Trust..man..Black truffle cream, sautéed oyster mushrooms finished with aioli & loads of fresh black truffle..an amazing sight, an amazing crust and just unparalleled to any of the numerous pizza's that we have experienced. Not a quite a favorite was the Ravioli Allo Strachitunt, my daughter is a ravioli lover but this wasn't the best dish she's had. Lucky I could only eat 1/3 of the Truffled Pizza ! No room for dessert, but they looked fabulous on the tables nearby. The waitress, everything about her was familiar to all of the people we met in italy..her energy, voice, suggestions, no nonsense yet warm conversation Make a resy here if you are in the area, there is no way you will be disappointed, I promise. We had numerous meals in London, and this was a favorite after 2 of the Dishoom's... Read less

I'll never forget how good the pasta was! The spring giardino salad was also one of the best salads I've ever had. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and service was great. I wish we could have had one of their desserts (esp that massive piece of pie they serve) but we were so full from the pasta. It was pricey but totally worth it, I can't wait to go back when I visit London again.

Wow! What a vibe!! This place was so fun inside. It was super romantic and elevated. The ambiance was impeccable for a night out in London. The food was delicious. The menu changes every month but i have a feeling you'll get lucky no matter what month you go there. Had the Cacio e Pepe con scampi and it was so creamy so peppery it was delicious. Their brick oven pizza has a massive crust which is so doughy and just so good!!! Totally impressed

Definitely need to make reservations! I'm giving 3.5-4 stars for the great service and accommodation. We were really late for our reservation but they were still able to accommodate us despite being super busy since they are a popular restaurant. Upon seating the waiter explained the menu and gave us his recommendations. We ordered some drinks and appetizers. I love truffle so anything that has truffle appeals me. We ordered: - Empanadas - Honey I truffled the crochetta - Truffle pizza & added prosciutto - Bolognese - Truffle spaghetti (this is 2 servings so you have to share with someone) - Tiramisu I loved the truffle crochetta. Full of flavor. Empanadas were great. I was kinda disappointed in the pizza and spaghetti. I'm a saucy girly and I would have liked the spaghetti to be saucier and more flavorful. It was a bit bland. Pizza was also lacking some flavor. Tiramisu was fantastic and a must if ur a tiramisu lover. We each ordered 2 drinks and bill came out to about 200 GBP for the 3 of us. Overall I enjoyed the apps and dessert more than the entree. I'm glad I got to try out this place but it's not worth coming back for.

Great presentation and decent food. From the green walls to Cacio e Pepe demonstration in a big wheel of cheese, this place has plenty of grammable visual attractions. You might say gimmicky, I guess that depends on your taste. The service is great - fast and friendly. The food is good. Not mind blowing but good. Burrata was served in chilli olive oil with pesto on top. No salt on burrata itself, which I found a bit lacking in seasoning. Basil pesto pasta was ok. It was very salty. I tasted salt but not much of basil, pine nuts or Parmesan. Tiramisu was great, though. No gimmick there. Classic recipe, just very nicely executed.

For our last full day in London we sought out a spot that would be good for brunch and my girlfriend stumbled upon Gloria on one of the recommended lists. Gloria opened at 11AM and was a short walk away. We were the first customers of the day with our reservation at 11. Inside is super cute and the seating is comfy- the fabric does show some signs of wear when people have spilled things. Now the food, while not traditional brunch we were searching for, was phenomenal. The lemon and ricotta ravioli and the lemon tiramisu were so fresh and full of that lemon flavor you want when ordering a lemon dish. It's been a few weeks since we visited, but I've thought about this meal almost every day since and wish we had this spot back home. Sometimes the things you aren't expecting turn out to be pretty great and this rang true at Gloria!
