We don't mean to sound too hyperbolic, but La Mia Mamma has the best concept ever. Each month the restaurant selects a group of crafty, culinary Italian mothers to bring their own authentic Italian recipes to the table for guests.

Stanley worked with the mammas in residence during his episode to cook Neapolitan ragu, a simmering blend of beef ribs, pork, sausage, wine, steak, and tomatoes. The actor referred to the dish as a symphony of meat.

Do you know that London has its own mozzarella capital? Stanley visited La Latteria, a mozzarella specialty shop in the heart of Acton, London. The brains behind La Latteria is Simona Di Vietri, an Italian businesswoman and entrepreneur.

A food market inside an old church? Sign us up! The Mercato Mayfair is a food hall and sustainable marketplace located inside the deconsecrated St. Mark's Church.

Per the official Mercato Mayfair website, guests can enjoy two floors of Italian and global cuisine, a rooftop terrace, a wine cellar, and a community space. Stanley made good use of his stop at the fair and picked up fresh tagliarini pasta.

Quo Vadis has quite the backstory. Per Quo Vadis's website, the Italian restaurant was once Karl Marx's home and a brothel.

Quo Vadis's current chef, Jeremy Lee, served two iconic Italian dishes for Stanley: saltimbocca, a veal dish, and pollo principessa, a chicken dish bathed in a rich creamy sauce.
