Grotta Capri Italian & Seafood Kensington
Grotta Capri has been around since the '50s, an eyebrow-raising feat for any restaurant. A large chunk of its unusually consistent popularity has to be down to its decor, which sports the kind of kitsch appeal that never really goes out of fashion. Designed in the style of an underwater grotto, lamps shine like glowworms on the cave-like walls, while watery blue lights shine out of aquariums. Movie buffs might recognise the scene from such movies as
Muriel's Wedding and
The Night We Called it a Day.
Once diners manage to tear their eyes away from the decor, they can address the extensive menu of Italian food. Classic pastas, risottos and antipasto nibbles all feature, but the focus is on seafood, with the highlight being a platter for two loaded with lobster, smoked salmon, mussels, prawns and more.
