Daily Grind in Islington

The food was tasteful, but some dishes were not prepared correctly (seafood risotto was a seafood rice) and food not worth the price.

Best pizza in London! I did a Google search for the best pizza in London and I have to say that Oi Vita did not disappoint! We started with olives, which are served nice and cool within a leave of radicchio with tomato. Wonderful. Then a sampler from the kitchen, focaccia with a touch of tomato on top. Then we indulged in the pizza. My favorite was the Cacio e Pepe. It was really good with fresh burrata topping. We also shared a very nice bottle of multipuciano. The staff were wonderful and attentive from the moment we arrived. Friendly greeting and entertaining. Highly recommend!!!

Good food, but shockingly poor service — not kid-friendly We were hopeful given the menu, but the experience quickly soured. It took over 20 minutes (and a reminder) just to get menus. Staff then seemed irritated that we needed a few minutes to choose. The real issue came when our toddler accidentally bumped her head and started crying — instead of offering any understanding, we were abruptly asked to pay and leave, even though two of us hadn’t finished eating. This is clearly not a kid-friendly place. Disappointing, as the food was genuinely good. EDIT (following owners' response): I can confirm that I did visit your restaurant on the evening of 2nd May 2025. I understand this may not reflect your usual service or values, and perhaps it was an off day — but this was our experience, and it felt dismissive and uncomfortable, especially given we chose your place thinking a family-run business would be welcoming to young children. I hope future guests are treated with more care.

Tiny, cosy place serving up some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten. Do not be put off by the modest exterior -- once you start eating, you will be amazed.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff, and a great restaurant will go again very soon. Had a fabulous time
