Citro Restaurant

Citro Restaurant is a rising star in London's bustling culinary scene, located at 15A Swain's Ln. This Italian gem is celebrated for its homemade authentic food, crafted with high-quality ingredients and traditional family recipes. Diners rave about the remarkable flavors, with dishes like linguine with clams and seasoned scallops earning particular acclaim. Guests appreciate the vibrant atmosphere, with one reviewer describing it as a “fun, clean place full of love.”

What sets Citro apart is the passion exuded by its owners, two dedicated brothers who elevate each dish with heartfelt attention.

Fab home made authentic Italian food, with high quality ingredients and at the right price. Owned by two brothers who are bringing not only their passion for food to the plate but use traditional family recipes along side with their own. The only problem I have here is deciding what to choose from, pizzas cooked from a wood oven or a plate of the chef's homemade fresh pasta!

Wonderful hidden little gem. Everything was wonderful, the staff, the wine, the pizza, the pasta, the cakes... definitely my new favourite place! Pistachio pannacotta is a must try (remembered to try the picture only after we almost devoured it all)

Lovely little restaurant, especially sitting outdoors when it's sunny. We got a pizza, a large house salad, and the monkfish side. The salad was bountiful with well-rounded flavour, while the pizza was both delicious and not too heavy. The standout however was the monkfish - beautifully seasoned and cooked, tender, and paired well with the chickpea fritter and hummus. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try!

Pleasant evening at Gospel Oak. Had a delicious dish - meaty Rigatoni Guanciale. Tastes amazing. Friendly staff and fast service.

Truly an excellent meal. Best Italian food that I've had in a long time. The pricing is extremely fair considering the quality of the food, and great service.

OMG. Sorry I can’t think of a more sophisticated expression to describe how utterly delicious the food was. I had a crab pasta and it reminded me of the childhood crabs my dad used to prepare while at the same time offering a little chilli kick. My husband had the best pizza (he used to be a pizza chef so he knows) he had for years. Then based on this we scoffed down a wonderful grilled peach dessert (pictured). Impeccable service and authentic (as in just personal - non corporate) decor. We will be back!
