Jacuzzi is Big Mamma’s opulent Italian palazzo in Kensington, a four-floor feast for the eyes and the stomach. You’ll wander through spaces dripping with Roman statues, Murano glass, and that unmistakable Big Mamma grandeur. The food keeps pace with the decor: think burratas from Puglia, crispy croquettes with pulled veal, and their iconic mafaldine with fresh truffle that’s truly to die for. It’s the kind of place where you go to be wowed, not just fed.
A theatrical Italian feast in Kensington
Jacuzzi is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a Roman fantasy, and honestly, that’s exactly what it is. Big Mamma has really outdone themselves with the design—four floors of opulence, complete with statues, Murano glass, and lighting that makes every corner Instagram-ready. The menu reflects this theatricality with dishes that are both authentic and playful: the burrata from Puglia is creamy perfection, and the crispy croquettes with slow-cooked pulled veal are a must-order to start. But the star is undoubtedly the pasta. Their handmade varieties, especially the mafaldine with fresh truffle, are worth the trip alone.
Service is generally warm and efficient, though it can get a bit chaotic during peak times given the sheer scale of the place. The Tiramisù with a touch of Marsala is a brilliant finish, best paired with an espresso martini if you’re feeling indulgent. It’s pricier than your average Italian spot, but you’re paying for the experience as much as the food. If you’re looking for a memorable night out in Kensington—especially after a museum visit or as a treat for someone special—Jacuzzi delivers the drama and the flavors in equal measure.
