Brickoven Milano: Italian Family Dining comes to Chiswick

Brickoven Milano on Chiswick High Road is my latest local discovery through Twitter. I met the lovely people there a few weeks ago to talk about running some classes in their playroom and was completely charmed by what I found. I took so many photos I'm going to have trouble fitting them in here, but also can't bear to leave any out!

I've now discovered the best coffee in town and all their wonderful baking is also done on site. There was a selection of four different cakes on the counter as well as the delicious mini-doughnuts being busily consumed by Nicoletta's daughter.

I recommended the coffee to a friend a few days later and he popped in to test them out. He explained they'd been recommended, thanked them for a fab coffee and was told with a smile 'It's on the house'. Now that's some awesome customer service!

The whole team are unbelievably warm, welcoming, and keen to talk to you about their menu and restaurant concept. Brickoven caters for all food intolerances offering a huge range of pizza bases and pasta. They're aiming to make eating out a family experience and they've come up with some seriously innovative ideas.

The restaurant is divided into three areas: the main restaurant, the playroom and the lounge. The restaurant is bright and airy with wonderful old Italian advertising posters on the walls - a legacy of the family's grandparents. There's also a view into the kitchen so you can watch your pizza being made!

All the bread is made daily and there was a heavenly smelling selection on the counter. It's quite an extensive menu with all sort of meat and fish dishes as well: so sure to be something to suit everyone!



The lounge is quiet and comfortable - also available as a function room for parties and meetings. It's certainly perfect for Gymboree parties so we'll hopefully be visiting again in that capacity too. Better still it's free to hire with a minimum spend.

Brickoven has to be the most family-friendly restaurant in Chiswick - not only do they have a separate playroom for the children but you can also watch a live feed through your smartphone or an iPad they'll bring to your table in order for you to keep an eye on them.



Busy weekends also mean a nanny on duty in the playroom as well.

Watch this space for my lunch review coming soon....
