Specialties: Arancina is an Italian pizzeria. Our “pizza alla pala” is the most popular product, but also the home-made risotto balls (arancinas) are what make us unique. Haven’t been here yet? What are you waiting for? Come in, You’ll love it! Established in 2006. Arancina was started by the Mortari family: Massimo, Michele and Edoardo. Their idea was to open a café/restaurant that served fresh food as you would taste in their own city, Rome, the Holy City.

Why not share such a wonderful treasure of delicious recipes? “Detto, fatto!”, as the Italian saying goes; no sooner said, than done! London was the chosen city, Notting Hill the perfect spot!

But which name to give this little corner of Italy in London? “Pizza”? Too obvious! “La cucina della nonna”? True to the place’s soul, but then you might be afraid of grandma running out of the kitchen brandishing her wooden spoon if you misbehaved …”Arancina”? Oh yeah, fresh, young and simple! The name of the risotto ball was the perfect one!

Since they opened in 2006, they have introduced a different level of catering: cornetti, pizza alla pala, salads, pastas, etc. Everything is perfectly chosen, prepared, and cooked to bring you the true flavours of Rome and Sicily.
