Hidden Gem: Best Italian in London!

Nestled in a bustling row of shops on Northfields Avenue, Sikulo offers not just a meal, but a culinary sojourn to Sicily. The ambience is inviting, melding rustic charm with the vibrant hustle of Italian street-life that immediately engulfs your senses upon entry—think freshly-simmered sauces mingling with the aroma of homemade bread. The meticulously curated menus revolve around seasonal fresh produce, giving diners the delightful experience of unpredictability and familiar comfort simultaneously. On my visit, I found the Ravioloni Ricotta and Spinach appropriately served hot, waiting to envelop my palate in an embrace of rich, creamy flavors.

Warm and attentive service stitches moments together seamlessly, fostering a pleasant dining pace often dashed within busy venues. Although the pizzas are quite hit or miss—sometimes tending towards an overwhelming crust and just bearable sauce—the overall atmosphere and food quality press commendably against such minor grievances. Each cheese and cured meat is a testament to their commitment to authenticity, turning ordinary selections into delightful little subplots within a bigger culinary narrative. For those in quest of a heartwarming Italian escapade without the jet lag, Sikulo comfortably delivers a card-quivering taste of Italy—right here in Ealing. It's the neighborhood secret you love telling but selfishly want to keep. — Audrey Al Dente
