We had a really good server and service is fast. But my ravioli was severely hard and undercooked and bland. I couldn't finish it! 
I understand wanting to have the food out asap, but food is the most important part of going out to eat at a restaurant. When that fails, I don't care how fast you are.

Bottom line: if you can get past some of the quirks in the service, you'll be fine. Also, stick to signature dishes and don't stray too far off the menu.

I ordered the minestrone soup, the rigatoni broccoli dish, and for desert , I ordered the apple pie with ice cream.

The minestrone has a clear watery vegetable base, and tasted like vegetable medley soup. In America , usually it's like a tomato bean base with a few noodles in it with veggies .

Wasn't the most memorable dish. Needed more salt and was kind of bland. 2/5

Italian rigatoni broccoli: came out cold. I actually told my waiter to heat it a bit more. He was not happy to here this news. I don't know if he was upset with me or his kitchen or both. But I do know upon realization, his humiliation manifested  in how he shortly treated me thereafter .

Heated up , this dish was delicious. Gravy was on the richer side (might be vodka sauce variant) but this is the type of Italian food I can see as in the conversation in the best of for London. 

4.5/5

Desert menu was brought to me. I was undecided, so I let my waiter know i required some more time.

He literally came back in about 20 seconds and sarcastically told me 'making progress'?

And it was with this comment that made me realize he was irritated or annoyed that I compelled him to remake the pasta dish. Yeah, how dare an American tell you to serve pasta hot instead of cold. Forgive me father for I have sinned.

The apple pie I ordered was very small. The crust was super soft like bread. It also was cold when it should be slightly heated. Wasn't my favorite thing, and for nearly 8 pounds, you should order another item off the desert menu.

2/5 stars

I'm giving this an overall score of 3/5 even though this place deserves 2/5 when you factor in how I was treated by the waiter after pointing out a flaw in my pasta dish .

I stop here when I transverse thru Paddington.  My fav is the Penne alla gorgonzola.  The house red wine is very good.  This place is busy so best to go on off hours to avoid a wait.

I didn't understand only 4.1 stars for Bizzarro soon I scanned the reviews, and I do see what dinner people mean.  This is a very popular and just restaurant.  They have seatings on main floor and also in basement.  The staff we had were very pleasant and knowledgeable but they hustle the entire time we were there.  Thus there were sometimes a bit if a wait. It has a family restaurant feel at heart, but at a larger scale

That said, I think the gross now than made up for it.  From the pizzas to the pasta's to the desserts, they were all so good   I had the carbonara and it was creamy without being overwhelmingly rich.  I also loved my son's garlic pasta with olive oil.  
And you have to try the house make tiramisu for dessert - so light and flavorful.  Many tiramisu I've had are more on the heavy size, but not this one.  It's so light yet retains all of the traditional textures and flavor of tiramisu.  Magnifico!

If you're on London and happen to be close to Bizzarro, it's a can't miss dining experience....just expect it to be busy

Fantastic service and great food.   I was a solo diner on a Friday night.  Staff were wonderful.  Easy walk from train station.  Thank you.  I am thru king about the meal a week later.

I came literally at the right time at 7pm. 15 minutes later and there was a line forming out the door. I always find a place based on yelp reviews. I was dining alone, from the moment I entered I was greeted and sat. My waiter was super busy but still friendly. I ordered the veggie soup and the Linguine w chicken and spinach and a tiramisu. Great restaurant, quality food, service and ambience. Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop by.

Our party of seven sat downstairs where tables can accommodate larger groups. All appetizers and entrees were delicious. The Bruschetta was one of the best we've had. Although we were quite full, we couldn't pass over dessert, which were particularly artful.

Good quality Italian food, but the service made this place memorably outstanding. Ivan was the most wonderful server -- friendly and nice, explaining the variety of dishes, helping us make the best choices, showing us how to make some of the dishes better with the toppings, and even chatting with us about where to go in Italy. 

Lamb chops and veal were super tender. Chicken piccata was perfectly breaded. The lemon dessert was probably my favorite but though -- and I'm not usually a huge dessert person. I would come back just for that.

Food was ok, however service was slow. Especially if are not white,
We understand they were busy but we got our starters and waited and waited for the main dish. A white blond European guy with an accent waited on us and a 3 tables with white people who arrived and ordered  after us got their food and were was served first. I brought it to his attention and got an attitude.

OMG best food. Small cozy restaurant very attentive servers. 

We loved all the food. You should try this place.
