The must

The pizza people cross town for

We're obsessed with the dough. Slow fermented for real flavour, real character and a lighter, easier bite.

Pizza by the Metre every Wednesday evening, a full metre for the whole table.

Gluten free bases made fresh every day, just ask.

More than a restaurant

Un angolo d'Italia

Founders Vitalia and Antonio always dreamed of a true corner of Italy, not just a place to eat. Our staff often break into song, because here, dinner always comes with music.

Baked fresh every day

Vitalia's Lunch

Two Roman classics, made in house from scratch. Pillowy focaccia piled high and soft, cream-filled maritozzi, this is how we do lunch at Vitalia's.

Focacce

Pillowy Roman focaccia, split and piled high with bold, generous fillings, from the Roman Gladiator to a vegan Pane & Amore. Best enjoyed warm.

Maritozzi

Sweet Roman maritozzi, soft brioche piped with cream and finished with caramel, pistachio or chocolate. A little taste of Italy, made fresh by us.
