  One of the best meals I've had in London. In a charming alley close to the Hampstead tube. Excellent service.

  Authentic and delicious Italian place!! On top of that, the service made our dining experience there even better.
  
  We ordered asparagus with butter and fried fish with spinach and tartar sauce. The ingredients were fresh but nothing too special. The pasta is AMAZING!! I got the tagliatelle with lamb ragu. The lamb is so soft it melts in your mouth and the pasta sauce is spot on. My friend ordered spaghetti with Mediterranean seafood. She said it was really good as well but the clams weren't cleaned well since she could still taste the grit. Other than that I would say it is one of the best pasta places I've been to.
  
  The ambiance is classy & noisy. No need to dress up or anything. Most of the customers seems to be regulars around the area. Definitely £££ so it's a bit pricy!!

  Fantastic and stunningly beautiful restaurant with great service and amazing good food. In fact this is probably the best Italian food I have had in London - it is closest to authentic Italian food in London. Also , the value for money is incomparable. You would think it is a very expensive place but it is actually very reasonable.
  The service is excellent - they even have  a wonderful pianist upstairs. We had a table on the first floor terrace and the pianist was playing lovely music while we ate. The ambiance is incomparable. The décor is beautiful - loved the flowers everywhere! Highly recommend the place and make sure you get the first floor balcony!!

  Met up with dear friends for a late dinner and enjoyed ourselves. Villa Bianca, at a glance, looks like a charming house with a second floor adorned with brightly colored flower boxes.
  
  We ordered delicious wine and I was feeling pasta so I had Spaghetti Allo Scoglio (Thin spaghetti with Mediterranean seafood, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, garlic and chilli). Spaghetti came with fresh mussels, clams and prawns. Spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente and seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful.
  
  Dining companions ordered Pappardelle Con Misto di Porcini e Fungi Selvati Saltati (Large tagliatelle with porcini & mixed mushrooms sautéed in truffle butter) and Risotto Con Scampi Piselle e Pomodorini (Risotto with scampi, peas and cherry tomatoes).
  
  Being the piggie that I am, I had to try out everyone's dish, and I have to say that each dish was delicious but the one that stood out to me was the tagliatelle with mushrooms in truffle butter. What decadence - I thought that the truffle butter was to die for!
  
  Service was quite friendly and upbeat considering we were practically the last customers in the restaurant before closing. I really enjoyed my evening at Villa Bianca, and would love to come back to try more dishes.

  Enjoyed a very lovely dinner here last night with a couple friends.
  
  The atmosphere was great with the Classic Italian family feel to it- welcoming and professional without feeling too formal. The decor was great as well, clean and crisp with the piano music adding to the vibe.
  
  For my main, I had the tagliatelle with scampi, artichoke and tomato. The dish, though beautifully presented, I felt lacked a bit of flavour- think it needed a hit of citrus or some pepper? Dessert was very tasty, though not the best creme brûlée I've had- taste was there but my sugar crust was not so crunchy in places, could have used a few more minutes under the grill. Our wine was superb! Great selection in a range of price points.
  
  4 stars for great service, ambiance, and a lovely meal with fantastic wine!
