To really understand what La Famiglia proffers you have to regress back to when the King’s Road wasn’t teeming with new Eurotrash money, entrepreneurs and influencers, but a village of toffs. A time when Princess Diana, the Rolling Stones and that guy who kept a lion as a pet all lived on one SW10 road. A time before London went global, before Jamie’s Italian, Carluccio’s and Marco Pierre White. Where, if you were one of the lucky few who’d travelled to Italy and wanted to recreate that exotic experience at home, you’d go to La Famiglia. The premise is simple: real Tuscan food. Since it opened in 1976.
