Il Tocco D,Artista in Barnet

Such generous portions, you will always have a hearty meal here.Well flavoured and spiced. It's a totally family run feel but do not underestimate the food due to this

Looked a very welcoming restaurant. Authentic and the warmest welcome. The food is delicious and the owners were so lovely and made us feel so welcome . My favourite Italian restaurant that we just found on the off chance . We will definitely be regular customers . A perfect find x

Excellent pizza, great value and fantastic jovial service. Highly recommend

Best pizza in town…. Been here a few times and we have never been disappointed. Yum 😋

Wonderful evening as per usual. But the food was exceptional! All our dishes were so fresh and full of flavour, and the service was delightful. Packed on a Thursday night (!) with food loving regulars who were treated with genuine affection and attention. Thanks Fabio and your wonderful team... 😀

No photos to post, food didn't last long on the table. Exceptional service from all staff esp the young Honduran waitress and the waiter from salerno. Food arrived hot and fresh from the kitchen the wine was delicious there were many kind extras given to us ...very warm and cozy italian restaurant for dining. Thanks to the chefs behind the scenes.

I have been in many Italian restaurants in uk but never ever been in so delicious one, everything tasted so good the size of the dishes and pizza are just enough for a man even my size 17 stones 108kg man and prices are unbeatable pizzas for under 14 pounds with best ingredients. For me best Italian restaurant I've ever tried

Fabio is a great guy. Very attentive, pleasant and friendly! Very busy with Italian diners, so it says it all for an Italian restaurant!! Will definitely be going back! Nice meeting you Fabio!@

Been going there for years and have seen many managers/owners over the years. Still serves my favourite pizza of all time. Wonderful, attentive, kind and thoughtful staff. Thank you for giving me many happy memories. 🙂👌

Tasty hot true Italian food. Good sized portions. Delivery driver forgot an item which was then delivered by a very kind friendly guy who personally drove out specially to deliver it to me. Really appreciate it. Highly recommend.

Amazing food. Proper authentic Italian restaurant. Location could have been better, but the food quality is really outstanding

Lovely authentic italian restaurant. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was excellent- I had the smoked salmon linguini, pasta was perfect and sauce delicious. My partner had the mellanzano parmigiano which was also excellent. Highly recommended

Delicious food and extremely friendly and attentive staff. Nice music 😄

Nice service, very good dishes and large portions, I recommend

Having eaten in many Italian restaurants, including in Italy, I find it near impossible to find a decent Italian restaurant. However, the food and atmosphere is as good as being in Italy. The food: Always delicious. I've eaten here more times than I can remember. I've never had a bad meal. The dishes are all full of taste with generous portions. Everything is homemade and tasting amazing. The service: The owner Fabio is a true host. He is friendly, welcoming and always happy to recommend and help you choose. Despite being busy he makes time to come to your table and say hello. Atmosphere: A restaurant with every table full, all smiling, laughing and often regulars, what more can you ask for. In my opinion you will love this restaurant. Everyone I have introduced has come again and repeatedly loved it.

The dinner was wonderful .Compliments to the staff for making me feel at home by delighting me with excellent food and with a good Italian wine.I sincerely thank you for the hospitality .

The real italian taste is here, very friendly environment with a beautiful embellishment. Love it even they confound my order.

Very friendly staff and tasty meals for a good price... I can only recommend it to all lovers of Italian cuisine

Amazing Italian restaurant, owners were lovely and the atmosphere was very chill and welcoming. Food was amazing! 😊

It's a family run restaurant and it's so cozy. The service is ALWAYS AMAZING.

We had the best time. So well looked after The staff work so hard, the food was homely Italian at its best. If you are looking for traditional Italian restaurant look no further.

Absolutely delicious food, lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Homely feel and great place to come for all occasions!

Really good portion and quality for its price. Friendly staff.

Best pizza, best pasta! Our family love this restaurant soo much!!

A great Italian restaurant! Fabio and his team are so loving and caring, and his food is delicious! The restaurant can get quite loud when really busy and may not be to everyones liking.

This restaurant is a family-run business and has decor which is themed about Italy and being Italian. The food is good and the staff are friendly.

Good Italian food at reasonable prices with friendly but slow service when busy. Parking limited.

We ate well, modest price, excellent steak with spinach, Roma-style pizza and tiramisu in a rustic setting, we will return...Good Food made by italian Chef.

Love it in here. Very authentic! Great both to eat in & to take away.

Amazing authentic Italian food...service and ambiance is lovely and definitely worth a visit. Food was exceptional and I will definitely be visiting again!

Fantastic and tasty food. Authentic Italian food. Fabio and his staff always amazing. Advise to go to everyone.

What a find! Local restaurant I have been past loads of times, but only last night went in. Served beer in iced glasses- a small sign that the management and staff care and I will get the big things right. They had quickly found us a table although the restaurant was virtually full and it was 8pm on a Saturday. Service was quick, we had asked for that, and friendly but none of the "are you enjoying your meal" nonsense. Delicious Italian quality pizza and pasta. Prices very reasonable for London- not many places serve a sit down pizza for under £10. Loads of unsolicited complimentary extras: olives, lemoncello, fruit, nuts and chocolate. Only gripe is that they played happy birthday for someone and left loud music on for a while afterwards. It has a noisy, fun atmosphere that may not be great for making conversation, and music on top was a bit much.

Nice local real Italian restaurant. Had Mother’s Day Sunday lunch with the family. Excellent service, great food and very clean facilities. As it is small, I would advise reserving a table in advance. Definitely will come back and recommend to my friends.

This was my first time hear, went with a friend for dinner let's start with the good think's first the food was excellent , the service was excellent , and very good velue we also had comlementary drink and nuts which was a nice touch now the bed bit's and this is only my thoughts , we was seated in the corner by the window which had mould runing down the wall which did put me off but saying that I will be back

Siamo capitati per caso davanti questo ristorante italiano e (dopo aver letto alcune recensioni) abbiamo deciso di cenare qui....e meno male!!! Pizza buonissima, nulla da invidiare alle pizzerie italiane (tra l'altro il pizzaiolo è palesemente campano). I miei figli invece hanno preso due primi, e i piatti li hanno restituiti così puliti che non c'era bisogno di lavarli. Materie prime di ottima qualità. Ottimi anche i dolci. Consiglio assolutamente a chi, in vacanza e non, voglia assaporare il gusto della cucina di casa nostra. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Proprietario gentile e disponibile.

Excellent food, staff, atmosphere at great prices. They give complementary bits and bobs which you just don't get elsewhere. You should book if you plan to go as it can get busy..

You walk in as a stanger, by the time you leave, the boss Fabio makes you feel like you are member of the family, the staff are amazing, the food is real class, Great atmosphere.

There can’t be many better places to be than in a traditional family run Italian restaurant where the food is fairly priced, tastes delicious and is served by such friendly owners and their staff. The Tiramisu especially was sublime. Now we have found this gem we shall certainly be making it a regular place to eat. This recommendation is given without reservation!

We were walking past the restaurant as a family were leaving. The owner was saying goodbye to them and wished us Bona Cera. The restaurant was really packed (safely distanced)- always a good sign. After a couple of sharpeners in a local pub, we thought we’d give it a try. Firstly, the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly. The food is freshly cooked, incredibly tasty and really generously portioned. Great menu, great food, great staff, incredible value and a lovely friendly family atmosphere. This will be a regular for us now - something for everyone , what a fantastic place😊

The service at the restaurant Il Tocco D 'Artista was very friendly, a true Italian atmosphere, the food was fresh and very tasty, and the portions very generous. Me and my family have had a fantiastic evening. I highly recomend to everyone Il Tocco D'Artista restaurant in North Finchley.

first time there the food was great the service was first class the atmosphere was very relaxed would be gong back again

Set rather anonymously on the busy main road of Ballards Lane nothing outside gives you any idea of what lies inside. The restaurant is decorated in a traditional (but not old fashioned) Italian style with some lovely pasta related illustrations on the wall along with...

Fantastic food fantastic service excellent value Would totally recommend this restaurant best Italian food

We visited this gem of a place with family and friends and it was honestly the best Italian food I’ve ever had and I’ve been to quite a few Italians but none compare to this place. The service is amazing as the staff are very...

Visited here with friends. Food was amazing, all so fresh and delicious and such great flavours. Service was brilliant, they couldn’t do enough for us and were so good with the little kids. Will definitely be returning!

4 of us came here for the first time last night. No expecations. Had simply driven past a few times and seen it as a small genuine looking, quiet, unprepossessing restaurant. Once we were there we were literally in Italy. Real old school italian waiters,...

The overall experience at Tocco D’Artista was magnificent. Food was immaculate, and we enjoyed it a lot. The service was great, and the atmosphere was just so italian it felt like I was in Venice. Fabio was so kind and friendly and we appreciate the...

Fabio provided excellent service, really friendly and the food tasted amazing. Lovely service and will be back again! Fresh stone backed pizza - highly recommend. Also gave a complementary red wine which was very generous.

I have driven past this place for many years but have never had the occasion to visit until today and I’m so pleased I did. As soon as you arrive you are quickly greeted by the smell of garlic and fresh bread, the sound of...

This tiny restaurant was packed with people and so we were glad that we had bothered to book as normally this restaurant is never busy. The waiter was rushed off his feet, which was probably why he was rather impatient and also made huge mistakes...

Went there multiple times now with my partner or friends and never been disappointed! The food is amazing, lovely pizza, great calzone and best carbonara ever ! Defo a good shout ! Place itself could potentially change the decoration a little 🤓😬 but overall it’s...

Cannot recommend d'artista enough. The quality of the food is outstanding and large portions, and there is always such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The owners of this restaurant are so genuine and accommodating, can't wait til the next time already!

Fabio and his team are fabulous hosts. This restaurant serves great food, generous portions and also welcomed our dog - it’s rare to find such an authentic, good value Italian restaurant at such reasonable prices. We were even treated to an accordion recital. Highly recommended.

The restaurant offers main meal with a glass of wine from their lunchtime menu which definitely gives true value for money. There is plenty of choice of pasta, including vegetarian option, which were well prepared with fresh herbs. Similarly there was plenty combinations of pizza...

Probably the best Italian restaurant in North London. Been many times over the years and the food and experience always been nothing short of excellent.

Well what can I say about this place ... its running by a lovely man called Fabio who is just one of the nicest people, the food is good and the pizza's are massive and really good, the atmosphere is so nice in there you...

I can’t rate the food as we never received it. I can rate the rude staff, who showed complete and utter disregard towards us as their 1st time (now last time) customers. Based on this I would not even consider booking a table to eat...

great food ...great staff , the meal was perfect , very welcome also fantastic pizza chef !! of course very good value . fabio the owner they know the way to look after every single person walk on the restaurant !! deffo we going to be back ...we will

I was becoming late to join friends party, umbrella helped me to reach on exact time and enjoy the moments.

My wife and I go to Il Tocco regularly for a date night and it has never failed to deliver a delightful evening. If you want somewhere calm and quiet, go somewhere else. As you go through the door of Il Tocco you are hit...

I had a wonderful lunch in Tocco d’Artista,brilliant atmosphere,lovely food the pasta was amazing!Thank you all the staff

Went to this restaurant at 5.30 Friday evening there was only a family of 5 people seated. We asked for a table for two the waiter said have you booked we looked round surprised to be asked have you booked at this time. The food...

We went 10 handed to celebrate a friends birthday and this is a hard number to satisfy especially with such a long table. Conversation was limited to those guests adjacent. There was just a single waitress and Manager to cope with all tables. Overall they...

Decent food, dodgy billing. We went there a few times with my wife and daughter and I decided to invite my family for a birthday party. We were 7 adults and 3 children. We had our food and then I asked for the bill. I...

My first visit but will make this place my regular the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere reminded me of being in Italy. A hidden gem and a definite must try. If I could give 10 stars I would ... simply amazing

Always superb, the food, the ambience, never had any problems here so don't really get the negative reviews. I've been here with my wife twice recently and in the past and it's always been a great experience. The staff are very friendly and the food...

First of all I want to say the food was OK but there was a little person called Billy (friend of the owner) who were running in & out from the restaurant and he was on the phone constantly. He was talking on some funny...

My wife was ill after eating the linguine alla vongole here. The clams gave her food poisoning. Beware.

We visited for my wife’s birthday with another couple. Certainly not disappointed, lively,animated, restaurant, if a little noisy. The menu is typically Italian with great starters , the usual pizza and pasta and lots of speciality dishes. We had starters of tricolour, ham and melon...

First of all the food is fine, not great but not too bad. It’s a typical old fashioned type Italian restaurant, fairly busy. The waiter was noticeably uncaring and unfriendly. The reason it gets one star is that, as a few previous reviewers have mentioned...

Everything at this restaurant is perfect. The staff, the food, the entertainment and all the extra little bits included to make your meal there wonderful. Very authentic little Italian tucked away in north Finchley. The night was topped off with a bottle of limonchello placed...

Cuando un amigo me dijo sobre este lugar estaba muy escéptica. Es modesto, un poco fuera del circuito turístico, y no creo que sería nada especial (en cuanto a la comida) en esa ubicación. Bien, yo estaba equivocado! Este lugar es una joya. La comida es buena y abundante, a un precio muy asequible. He estado dos veces y volver y probar más de la carta!

El actual escenario es sucio, con una mezcla de actores italianos pintados en estuco de yeso y fotos en blanco y negro de Al Pacino en Scarface. . . Moda derecho?. Bien es peor. . . El menú es vaga, empecemos con vinos. . .

Hemos estado aquí con mi familia. El lugar no parece especial, pero así es. Buena comida, buen ambiente.

I have been coming here for years and always recommend for my friends and family to pay a visit! The owners and staff are great and the food is very good quality! Pictures of Italian celebrities on the wall and other displays really give a good atmosphere.

I had dinner here with a group of friends. The negative was that there were ten of us squeezed round a table comfortable for six. However, that was more than made up for by delicious food, good and friendly service and very keen prices. If I had not been driving I could have enjoyed the limoncello, peach schnapps and sambucca that we were offered.

Great venue. Brilliant atmosphere and superb food. The portions were huge and sooo tasty. Would definitely recommend a visit. The staff were very attentive and the food was brought out promptly.

We had a meal with our two children. The food was lovely. The children loved the pesto pasta and the veal and lasagna were very good tooRosemary bread was excellent Would definitely recommend it.

Been here a few times (its usually full of Italians) which is a great sign. The service is always 5 star and the food is gorgeous, perfect cosy local Italian. I love it.

We have eaten here a few times and really enjoy the food, traditional Italian but with quite a few novel twists and everything cooked to perfection. The service is also lovely, friendly and super-efficient at the same time. Last night's top hits were a delicious king prawn and clam pasta, brilliant fritto misto and the best sauté potatoes I have eaten in years. All in all a very, very nice unassuming place.

Quirky decor in this very traditional Italian restaurant. Friendly staff, great menu range, and well-priced. Tasty too.

This was my second visit and 5 of us had a great time as well as great food, the gigantic pizzas are the tastiest l have had in London ever. They make a fuss of you if it's your birthday. All the staff are helpful and friendly. We got some complimentary monkey nut as well as lemoncello and the birthday girl had a bottle of wine to take home. We will be back.

ピザがおいしいこじんまりとしたイタリアン。賑やかな雰囲気で、アットホームな食事をするのに向いています。

My flat mates and I came here a few months ago having stumbled across it as we live nearby and had a great evening and so we decided to come again for a leaving meal. The food as before was delicious, the staff were friendly and fun, and what made our night was when the birthday music came on for another diner and the staff got every table involved. The lights were dimmed, music cranked up and everyone was on their feet having a dance! The Lemoncello they give us after our meals is the cherry on the cake. We will definitely come again! 22-27 year old male and female actors

Good food, great service and a welcoming atmosphere. I visit family in the area 5-6 times a year and stop here for either lunch or dinner. The pizza is great but I have also enjoyed the calamari or simple grilled chicken with salad and fries. Simple food cooked well. Highly recommended.

Second Christmas Eve here (plus visits in the year) and we just love it.Great food, staff and atmosphere - especially at Christmas. And also amazing value for money!! Such a good local to have, honestly can't fault it.

Love this place!, came with the family for my birthday lunch, the service here is always top notch, food is very good, love the pizza. you are guaranteed to have a good time at D'Artita! the free limonchello, fruit, cake and chocolate just add to the good service, they really want to make you have a good time. Don't expect silver service this is a small Italian so expect not everything is perfect but be sure to have a good time with good food, fun and service.

We had dinner at this local trattoria & were impressed with the standard of the food- huge, super thin & crispy pizzas that could have come straight out of Italy, generous portioned mains at reasonable prices followed by a complimentary fruit plate to share & a bottle of limoncello to help ourselves to afterwards- we will return for certain!

I found myself lost and hungry with my girlfriend in North London. Having parked up, we walked into the Restaurant. Having thought OTT décor to begin with it warmed on me as the food arrived.The pizza when it arrived piping hot, tasted just as, if not better than it looked which was wonderful.To my surprise, 2 drinks, 2 mains, 2 coffees and just under £30. Will definitely be going back.

Dined there on Saturday with my girlfriend and was wonderful, excellent value for money and a very friendly service. Thank all the staff for the limoncello you offer us.

Wow wow wow wow, what a find!!!! I went to Il Tocco D'Artista to eat with some friends on Saturday evening and as soon as I walked in the door, I was transported back to Italy! The atmosphere was brilliant, the food was just amazing and soooo tasty, my mouth is watering now just thinking about it! The portions were very generous, it was good value for money and the added free extras of fruit, nuts and Limoncello were a lovely touch and all went down very well! The staff were really friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for them, I just could not fault a single thing! Il Tocco D'Artista is my new favourite restaurant and I cannot reccomend it highly enough and I just can't wait to go back, Buon Appetito!!!!

Beautiful ristorante..ottimo wonderful food and delicious pizza !! Environment friendly and the owner and very nice !!the beautiful party and birthdays !!recommended

Just love, love, love this restaurant! From the time I walk in I feel like i' m in Italy ! They even play Italian music.The food is 'FANTASTICO ' Great portions (especially the Pizza ) I highly recommend this Restaurant to anyone. Great value for money, too! Buon appetito!

The food is good enough and great value for money, but the atmosphere and service is what makes us keep going back to this place.It's a fun place to be and will keep a smile on your face. Love it

The food was ok, as was the service.The surprise came however when I checked the bill as I always do. The total shown at the bottom of the bill was not the sum of the amounts listed above. When I asked why this was I was told by the waiter "the total includes a service charge".This is obviously done to catch honest trusting people out and fool them into leaving them a tip twice - not a nice way to treat their customers.I wonder how many times they have got away with it, well it didn't work this time and we won't be going back.

Very good food with amazing flavour...I've been there few times and the service is always happy and great. Just loved.Will be back for sure.

I've been to this restaurant three times. Once as a group, second with my two teenage children and third (recently) with a friend as it was her suggestion.On two occasions the food was mediocre and on the third it was awful. The only reason I didn't complain was that my daughter asked me not to. The waiters are somewhat over the top in that they don't let you alone and kept arriving with things, albeit free, that we didn't want; a plate of nuts, fruit, peach liquor. All we wanted was decent food without the fuss. It's probably a good place for a crowd who want to get drunk, which the waiter did on our first visit!

I went there with my husband and 2 kids - 1 and 4 yr old and we had such a great time! The staff were so friendly, the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We ordered pasta and pizza, both very generous portions. The dessert was a little disappointing, chocolate/vanilla ice cream with chocolate cake. It was mostly covered in lots of cream with not a lot of cake. The kids ate well and the staff were very attentive and all were Italian speaking which made the whole experience feel very authentic. Complimentary fruit and lemon liqueur was lovely but wasn't keen on the monkeys nuts. Will definitely be going again!

anche senza aver prenotato ci fanno accordare subito, nonostante il locale fosse pieno. Pizza perfetta cotta al punto giusto

We phoned on the Saturday morning to book a table for 5 at 7:15 that evening. The service was friendly, attentive and fast. There was a good selection of Italian basics: standard pasta dishes, large pizzas spilling over the edges of the plates, classic meat and fish. We had pasta and pizza. All our food was good and authentic, and excellent value. Highly recommended for good-value, basic authentic Italian cuisine.
