La Piola can be found on Wimbledon's Leopold Road, and is a little more different than the typical
Italian restaurant experience. This cafe style restaurant has been designed to feel more like you’re
eating at your own home. With a warm and welcoming atmosphere, locals and visitors to the area are
invited in by friendly staff, to enjoy great food and drinks. Inside, guests are served high quality fresh
food, organic coffees, and locally produced Italian wines.
The head chef at La Piola has over 25 years of expertise, and eagerly shares his culinary artistry
through hand thrown, stone baked pizzas, which are beloved by Wimbledon's locals. According to the
restaurant’s website, a delightful selection of pastas is on the horizon, which is pretty exciting.
As a testament to La Piola’s commitment to keeping up with invention and trying out new flavours,
they have recently introduced breakfast options, inviting diners to discover a new facet of the cafe
style setting.
Start your feast with the gamberoni fritti, where deep-fried breaded prawns meet sweet chili sauce
and mixed leaves, or relish the baked goat's cheese served with toasted bread and tomatoes. The
starter board is a symphony of tastes, featuring parma ham, chorizo, pepperoni, goat's cheese,
gorgonzola, olives, rocket, parmesan flakes, and a slice of bread.
For pasta enthusiasts, the penne con spinaci presents a gluten-free option, showcasing mushrooms
and asparagus in a creamy sauce. Classic delights include bolognese, casacca pesto with chicken,
and the fiery arrabbiata. Families are welcomed with open arms, ensuring little ones enjoy a delightful
deal, offering a choice of pizza, pasta, or a cheeseburger, complete with juice and a scoop of ice
cream.
