Food
La Balmesina has built a loyal following around Neapolitan-style pizza, with reviewers specifically praising the Amatriciana pie as a standout among the menu. At 4.6 stars from 5,450 reviews, it's a clear neighbourhood favourite, and its high trendy score suggests it's kept its popularity current rather than resting on reputation alone. Service can run behind schedule at busy times, with reviewers noting a reservation isn't always honoured to the minute. It's a solid, casual choice for authentic pizza away from the city centre crowds.

What people say
"La Balmesina absolutely lives up to the hype. The pizza is everything you want from a great Neapolitan-style pizza. The Amatriciana pizza was sublime, and as was the tiramisu. These and a drink all for the reasonable price of around €20."
