Lasagneria Italiana, an Italian restaurant in London, has gained viral attention for its £15 lasagne platter, which allows diners to sample three different flavours in one sitting. The offer was highlighted in a social media video by Olivia Newman, who documented her dining experience at the restaurant, praising the value and the generous portion sizes.
Over 20 lasagne flavours on offer
According to Newman, the restaurant offers over 20 different lasagne flavours, including pepperoni, pesto, and carbonara variations. The £15 platter lets customers choose any three of these flavours, served in individual dishes on a wooden tray. The restaurant also serves a single whole lasagne for £12 (or £14 for a gourmet option), half a portion for £10, and other pasta dishes for £12 each.
Lasagneria Italiana currently operates two locations, one in Chelsea and another in Notting Hill Gate, with a third branch expected to open in Leicester Square later this year. The chain is dedicated exclusively to lasagne, offering a wide range of meaty and vegetarian options. It is run by the same team behind Mr Lasagna, a fast-food lasagne chain in London, but focuses on a sit-down dining experience rather than quick service.
Diner's experience: 'You're joking me'
In her video, Newman said: "£15 for a whole lasagne platter in London? You're joking me. Pasta lovers, save this video, because this whole menu is different types of lasagne. I'm talking pepperoni lasagne, pesto lasagne, carbonara lasagne, you name it. And if you're like me and you struggle to choose what to get, you can try three different pastas."
She also noted that the waiter advised against ordering starters because the lasagne would be filling, but she ignored the warning and ordered an arancini ball and a portion of parmigiana di melanzane for herself and her dining partner. When the main course arrived, Newman admitted she barely made it through a third of each of her three miniature lasagnes before feeling full. The waiter provided takeaway boxes for the leftovers, and Newman later claimed the food "tasted better the next day."
Menu details and customer reactions
The restaurant's menu includes 18 traditional lasagne varieties and four "gourmet" options, which add £2 to the trio platter price if selected. In addition to lasagne, the restaurant serves other pasta dishes with a choice of shape and sauce, as well as starters, sides, and desserts, including a tiramisu lasagne.
Commenters on Newman's video expressed enthusiasm for the restaurant's offerings, with several saying they would travel to London specifically to try the lasagne. One person wrote, "Ohhh... must try!" while another added, "I love lasagne!" The viral attention has highlighted the restaurant's appeal as a budget-friendly destination for pasta enthusiasts in the capital.
