Fodor's Expert Review La Gaffe

107–111 Heath St., London, Greater London, NW3 6SS, England Fodor's Choice

The name of this unpretentious, family-run restaurant with rooms means "the mistake" in Italian, and it also provides the punchline to the unlikely tale of how the original owners (the parents of the current proprietor) met in the 1950s. Standard rooms in this converted mid-Victorian terraced cottage are tiny but clean. Amenities are few, but all rooms have free Wi-Fi and some have four-poster beds (the honeymoon suite even has its own Jacuzzi). There's a summer patio in the enclosed courtyard and the restaurant itself serves good, traditional Italian food at reasonable prices. The excellent prices mean it books up quickly, and there's a two-to seven-night minimum in high season.
