La Pernella is an Italian restaurant located in Earlsfield not far from the train station established since 1993 . It was originally opened as a coffee shop by Mr Alberto Sarni and it became very popular and was very well known for the quality breakfasts.

After the success of the daytime restaurant Alberto and his son in law Mariano decided to open as an Italian restaurant in the evening. Or to be more precise as a Neapolitan restaurant because both of them are from the region, they decided to share their culture and their love for food with their customers.

First of all you will ask yourself what La Pernella means good question .... La Pernella it was Alberto's mothers nick name. So they opened the restaurant and pizzeria and named it after her.

One of the main Italian dishes (maybe the most famous) has made Naples famous all over the world, everybody know that pizza come from Italy. It was invented by a Neapolitan pizza chef in honour of the Italian queen Margherita infact if you think the Margherita pizza has the Italian flag colour red (tomato) white (mozzarella) and green (basil) but this is another story lets come back to La Pernella.

So they open this pizzeria with a burning oven, you can find pizza everywhere but real
pizza is made in a wood oven so that's why at La Pernella we have a proper oven handmade from a professional builder that specialises in building ovens.

Alberto is now retired after many successful years of business and his son in law has taken over. He runs the coffee shop and breakfast business in the morning. In the evening Andrea runs La Pernella, he has worked for many years as pizzaiolo and is committed to giving all his customers the best food and service just like Mariano and Alberto has done in the past.

Many customers already know how good is the pizza at La Pernella but for other people that have not experienced the fresh taste of Naples. We urge you to come and taste the difference between a pizza that you can have everywhere and a REAL La Pernella pizza.
