"There's a unique buzz about market days on the Portobello road. Stall holders selling weird and wonderful wares, the constant aroma of street food attacking your nostrils and the choice of restaurants abundant and eclectic. A friend had recommended Saporitalia, a buzzy, cosy place that was rammed at around three o'clock, the time of our arrival. Waiters were up to their neck in customers but gave us a very warm welcome. The food coming out of the kitchen looked very handsome indeed, especially the pizzas for which they are known. However, I spied the sardines on the menu and my companion the mozzarella in carroza, a kind of golden encrusted fried mozzarella sandwich which is terribly rich but totally delicious. A bowl of mussels and clams and the pacchero with veal meatballs in a tomato sauce with parmesan, mozzarella and ricotta were ordered as the mains, along with a bottle of Pinot Grigot blush. The grilled sardines were simple and very tasty indeed, just needing a squeeze of lemon to perk them up. The mozzarella in carroza was wonderfully rich as predicted and the flavours were brought together beautifully by the intenseness of the tomato sauce. The mussels and clams were in a lovely broth and served with Italian toasted bread, whilst the star of the show was undoubtedly the pachero with the meatballs. Large tubes of al dente pasta were filled with the most gorgeous, cheesy filling and the veal was light and hugely complimentary to the dish. We certainly made the right choice of wine to enjoy with our lunch to boot. The rents on Portobello road must be eye wateringly high and the bill for lunch was over eighty pounds I would say a tad over priced but when everything is just right, which it so rarely is these days, you have no right to complain. Incidentally, we were offered a complimentary glass of limoncello to finish off our meal and the service throughout was really pleasant and professional. A great find and I have absolutely no doubt that I'll be back. Saporitalia 222 Portobello Road London W11 1LZ 020 72433257"
