Il Mirto

The food was incredible! The chef makes the pasta and sauces daily and you could absolutely tell. We had the gnocchi Al la sorrentina Which was some of the best gnocchi I've ever tasted in my life. The sauce was a silky smooth and tasteful tomato sauce with a fantastic amount of cheese. We also had the carbonara which was excellent. Overall it was some of the best pasta I have had. The lady serving us was so friendly and polite and overall it was an excellent experience. Unfortunately, I had eaten half of the gnocchi before I even thought to take a photo of it. My dad had the pork special which he said was fantastic, the pork was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious.

The waitress Valeria is such an amazing, friendly person that I now feel I can call her a friend. Her partner Pasquale is the most incredible chef. We have had seafood linguine fresh from the sea in Crete and we still prefer Pasquale’s. The way he makes his salads, no one else can touch how good he is with food. The calamari is home made, so delicious with home made tartare sauce. They get their produce from Italy and you can tell. Everything is fresh and exceptional. People come from all over London to go to il Mirto because they know how good the food is and reasonably priced. It’s a hidden gem. Our favourite restaurant hands down and we love Valeria and Pasquale, the owners.

A wonderful restaurant.Being able to sit outside, I almost felt as if I had been transported to the South of France ( almost ). The food was excellent and the service was so good, amazingly friendly and accomodating. I live 150 miles away, but will certainly make sure I visit this little gem again soon.
