Proper Neapolitan pizza and Italian cooking near Paddington, where the dough is taken seriously and the wine list actually knows what it's doing.

You're walking into the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about authenticity—it just exists, confidently doing its thing on Craven Road. Altonapoli takes its pizza seriously, the kind of serious that involves proper fermentation and imported flour, but without the pretension that can sometimes come with that territory. The room feels lived-in and warm, packed with locals and tourists who've somehow found their way here, all tucking into wood-fired pizzas and proper Italian mains. There's a bar that takes its cocktails and wines just as seriously as the kitchen takes its dough, which means you can genuinely settle in for an evening without feeling like you're being rushed through.
