About This Pub
Ah, Masaniello – it's one of those spots that really warms your heart with its genuine Neapolitan flair right in the middle of Twickenham. I've got to say, the food steals the show; we're talking pizzas and pastas packed with fresh, authentic flavours that transport you straight to Italy, and at prices that won't leave you out of pocket. The atmosphere is just spot on for a laid-back evening with friends or a family meal, nestled on that lovely Church Street where you can soak up the local vibe. But, let's keep it real, the service can be a mixed bag – most times it's friendly and efficient, but there have been moments where things feel a tad rushed, like when they whisk away your plate mid-meal without so much as a sorry. Overall, it's a place I'd happily recommend for a solid night out, as long as you go in with a bit of flexibility and an eye for those authentic Italian touches that make it stand out.

Recent Reviews
We had some lovely food at Masaniello - antipasti, squid ink spaghetti and stuffed tortellini. However, the service was not great - the waitress took my wife’s plate away before she had finished her pasta, and we barely had an apology and no offer of a discount.
This is the best pizza in twickenham, one of the best in London. Excellent prices. Friendly service. And all hidden down church street, which is a lovely little street bustling with independent shops and pubs.
One of the best Italian restaurants in London. The pizza is actually better than the pizza we had in Florence. Brilliant Neoplitan pizza. Fresh ingredients. Also the mushroom vegetarian Ravioli pasta was excellent. Prices were worth it. I'd highly recommend visiting.
A truly beautiful experience. Me and my partner went here for dinner, and we will definitely be going back. We chose to sit outside the front. Service was very efficient and fast. The food was absolutely to die for! It was incredible, truly. It is definitely worth it! The staff were also very friendly and smiley. Also - perfect portion sizes.
Attended prior to the prem rugbt final, so the restaurant was brimming with enthusiasm. A warm welcome and attentive service throughout. I believe it was the manager serving us and she was fantastic. The prawns special was first class. The antipasti was authentic and flavoursome. Wood fired pizza was beautifully presented, crisp and mouth watering. Will be returning with my wife in the near future.
