The best Sardinian pizza one can buy

Small but very friendly. Great authentic Italian food, the best I've tried so far. So glad that this restaurant is still open and popular after the pandemic. Still as cozy and friendly as ever. Great food. This place never fails to impress you. after so many years, the quality and taste of the food and the friendliness of service is second to none. It is a restaurant where you can sit, eat and drink for hours without feeling rushed. Such a relaxed and cosy place to dine for the whole family.

Max always makes our dinning experience fantastic, and today he hosted a fabulous birthday party for our daughter. The kids were helped to creat their own pizzas and watch them cook in the open wood fired stove, followed by icecream and birthday cake. Everyone had a great time 🙌🏼

Great authentic and homely Italian restaurant on Wood Street. Has a real neighbourhood trattoria vibe and the food impresses every time. The pizzas in particular are fantastic and a great antidote to the sea of sourdough you find elsewhere in the area. Highly recommended 👍🏼

Marilucia is my partner and I’s favourite restaurant on Wood Street and in the area. The pizzas are phenomenal - thin (Italian style), wood fired. An authentic Sardinian experience. The pasta is great. The food is always fresh and delicious and very importantly, Max (the owner) is an absolute delight and makes you feel very welcome. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

The first time I went the overall food and experience was really good. The problem is that if you advertise that you open at 1 pm and I get there at 1:10 pm, I expect the restaurant to be open and instead it was closed

Great place with friendly staff, where you can taste traditional Sardinian kitchen. There are plenty of pizza options cooked on a woodfire oven. What I did enjoy most was tagliatelle with meatballs in a superb tomato sauce.

We came here for a late lunch and were med by a cheerful Italian waiter who really made us feel at home. The menu was typical Italian/Pizzeria. When the food came it was perfectly ok, but only average quality for this kind of dishes. But a nice atmosphere made it a lovely meal nevertheless.

Excellent authentic Italian restaurant, the food was really nice I had the meatballs and pasta, I also tried the pizza it was all spot on. It is really nice to eat in an independent restaurant with a specials board and some variety rather than a pizza express! Staff are very knowledgeable and informative of the food, ingredients and the wine. Finished the evening with a complimentary Limoncello awesome couldn’t ask for anything more. Prices are very competitive. Loved it!

He had a great rapport with us and the other tables, stopping by run through the menu and any wine reccs, as well as just generally have a chat - even bringing over an ice cold bottle of limoncello at the end of the meal for us to help ourselves! The food is absolutely delicious, the bruschetta was one of the best I've ever had, topping those even in Italy itself. Pizza was simple, fresh and delicious, so glad we live round the corner so we can pop by any time we fancy!

My partner and I love Italy and are always looking for the best places around London. This is an authentic family-run Italian, service is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The pizzas are amazing and so filling, we both normally eat a whole pizza each and neither of us could finish ours this time (of course we took the leftovers home). Definitely our new favourite. Do yourself a favour and get the bruschetta.

Marilucia is absolutely amazing! My girlfriend and I have had a delightful experience there each time we've visited. Thus far we've always ordered different dishes from the menu so that we can try as much as possible - and each time we've had a great experience. My personal favorite is the tiramisu desert - so if you do sit there be sure to try it out!

Nice italian restaurant run by an Italian. He is friendly, kind and really supportive. He prepares for you any italian dish and for the pizzas he is always keen to make a personalized one. I suggest to order, among the various italian beers available, the Ichnusa, it is delicious and really refreshing.

Ordered for take away. The menu says penne with courgettes, prawns and rocket. Was surprised when I got home and saw tiny shrimps (see photo). It was just disappointing as I thought there will be at least 2 big ‘prawns’ in the pasta for its price. On the bright side, pasta tasted good. My son liked the garlic pizza.

I really love the food here it's always delicious. The only problem I have with this place is that the food took quite a long time but I really don't mind as there was only one chef and a full restaurant. Also the pizzas are made fresh and I believe that the pasta is fresh too. We had the Funghi Cocotte (a starter that is a tomato mushroom dip with garlic bread), Boscaiola pizza, Risotto Ai Porcini (mushroom risotto) and Tagliatelle with Tomato Sauce and Meatballs (which was on the specials). These were all delicious though my personal favourite main was the mushroom risotto but all meals were amazing. The starter is amazing and I can't stop eating it. I love this dip and the garlic bread is delicious. I'm not sure of there much else to say. I would definitely recommend this place for new people and it will definitely make you want to come again! Pictures include: Boscaiola Pizza Risotto Ai Porcini Tagliatelle with Tomato Sauce and Meatballs Funghi Cocotte

My son had a take away four cheese pizza from there and he said it was excellent. We’ve decided we will go back again for a take away pizza. They have a proper wood-fired oven and my son said it wasn’t greasy like most pizzas. I think it uses good quality ingredients and it is run by a family rather than a chain using cheap ingredients

This cosy little family run Sardinian restaurant in Walthamstow is definitely worth a visit. Between us we had the Gorgonzola pizza and Sea bass on the specials board as well as a pasta and prawns dish from the a la carte menu. There’s also Sardinian beer and wine on the drinks menu. No complaints at all and we’ll be back with the kids next time for pizza!

The Sardinina chef has cooked Pizza and Italian dishes all over W'Stow.. He's now ended up here. The food is great, nice produce at reasonable prices.

The meal was lovely, felt like I was in Italy and the service was great. However, the next day I felt really unwell, nauseous and feverish. I don’t usually suffer from intolerance to wheat and gluten but maybe the bread they use is too processed or something. I’m usually fine in other places with sourdough. Please proceed with caution if you have sensitivities to gluten and wheat!

Cosy Sardinian restaurant run by a two person team (front of house and the chef). Mains and starters keep to the Italian theme with a range of freshly made pizza and pasta at a reasonable price (starter and a main costing on average £15). Desserts (not made in store) are a real let down considering the freshness and quality of the other courses.

Three of us invaded this lovely eatery in Chingford on a busy Saturday night, and we weren't disappointed. We were warmly greeted by Silvo and shown to our table. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting, light-coloured walls, and prints of Italian locations. Armed with two Aperol Spritz, we perused their wide-ranging menu, especially when you include their Specials' board. Accompanied by welcoming background music and the polite chatter and laughter from other diners already there, we made our selection. Soon, Orazio joined us, and the chat and laughter began with Silvo and Orazio. Our starters consisted of Avocado and Prawns for two; and Avocado, Prawns, and crab for one, off their specials' board. The freshness and flavour were outstanding. Our mains were as great, too. There was Lamb, fresh Tuna, both with sides; and one Linguine Marinara: all were presented and prepared to perfection. This was baptised with our traditional Primitivo: a full-bodied red from Italy with a hint of sweetness and an appetising aroma. We gluttons then found room for dessert: profiteroles and ice cream; afrogato, and an apple pie drizzled - off menu - with Amaretto. These were delicious. We concluded this culinary perfection with an Americano, lemon tea, a cappuccino, and two black Sambucas. Plus, complimentary ones from our gracious hosts - grazie mille, Silvo. It was truly a splendid dining experience. Our compliments to the chef for his artistry and friendliness, and a big 'thank you' to all at La Baita for the chat, laughter, and superb cuisine. We will be back soon. Until then, keep smiling, be safe, and happy. Ciao.
