Mediterraneo in Islington

Very cosy atmosphere and top service

Cucina never disappoints! The staff is welcoming and attentive, making every visit feel special. Whether you're in the mood for a casual meal or a more refined experience, this place hits the mark every time. Definitely worth a visit!

Sono a Londra per lavoro e casualmente mi sono imbattuta in questo ristorante. Mi ha attirato subito l’atmosfera ed anche l’arredamento molto particolare ed unico direi. Poi anche il dopo è stato molto piacevole. Ho preso la bruschetta al pomodoro e le penne con salmone, tutto molto buono e come dolce molto particolare “ La raviolina”. Lo consiglio vivamente

Food was nice,£35 for a bottle of £8- 10 wine ?service charge 12.5%? We live in England not America, too steep if you are visiting for a treat, puts me off all these restaurants that think they need to charge, main meal chicken with sauce £16, nothing with it, £5 plus for chios or Broccoli,

Fantastic restaurant in London. Excellent service and typical Italian food. A restaurant that earns 5 stars out of 5

We ate very good pasta, the lomo al pepe was very good and good wine!! Very pleasant service. Recommended to eat🥳

Super attentive waiters and delicious food. Super recommended.

Best carbonara ive ever eaten!! Good service

Just finished my dinner at mediteranio restaurant and I have the sea food spaghetti which was delicious. I would recommend to anyone to try their food at mediteranio kings cross.

Really good place Food is very tasty I loved it Will be back soon Live music Amazing atmosphere

Had a lovely Friday evening meal, delicious garlic bread with mozzarella to start and the pasta main courses were delightful, very well cooked, flavourful, and generous portions. The restaurant inside is beautiful and cosy and we felt very welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend and will visit again next time we're in the area!

The owners are amazing and the food is excellent. Lovely place here and great food!

Food was FANTASTIC. Service phenomenal. Would definitely recommend and come again.

We had our work christmas dinner at Mediterraneo and had a brilliant evening. Tony and the whole team there were very welcoming and made sure there was a great atmosphere the whole evening. They were very flexible, giving us plenty of options of how to arrange the food and ordering, and accomodating of all our last minute changes to numbers and catering options! The food was fantastic, really tasty with great portion sizes. Great wine and a very tasy espresso martini too! Cannot recommend Mediterraneo more for either a small dinner or a big group meal, thank you to the whole team for making our evening so special.

Spot on Lugar muy increíble y asequible para comer para King's Cross área El personal es muy amable y atento Ambiente es encantador

Lovely little find, friendly welcoming Italian family business. Amazing food, healthy portions. Food from the heart, as is the service.

A nice menu, good food, lovely staff. The homemade tiramisu was excellent. A pleasant neighbourhood feel. Recommend!

Been here many times when in London. The food is great and the atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed. I strongly recommend the grappa too.

A must visit to this wonderful restaurant! From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with exceptional service and a beautiful atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious!

Very nice! The food is very nice and the service is great. Very nice people

Tenía tantas ganas de comer aquí, parecía absolutamente precioso por dentro muy acogedor y acogedor. El personal era muy agradable. Sin embargo, la comida estaba definitivamente lejos de lo que esperábamos dado el ambiente. Las albóndigas me recordaban a las enlatadas con lo compacta que era la 'carne' que también venían cortadas por la mitad? El exterior en algunos también se quemaron alrededor de los bordes. La salsa me pareció muy sosa, lamentablemente después de comer una 'albóndiga' me desanimó comiendo el resto y dejé la mayor parte. Mi compañero pidió el bistec que era de 22 libras por solo un bistec nada que ver con él, optó por agregar patatas fritas por un extra de 5 libras , estos estaban tan quemados cuando llegaron, había negro por fuera, y no había patata en el medio. Su filete que pidió medio raro vino bien hecho. Declaraba solomillo pero no es como cualquier solomillo que hayamos visto antes. La salsa estaba muy movida y en general toda la comida fue simplemente decepcionante. Las fichas fueron retiradas de la factura, pero eso fue todo. Creo que también se añadió un cargo por servicio sin que nos dieran cuenta. El vino, sin embargo, era aparentemente increíble. Qué pena por un restaurante tan bonito.

El pollo con salsa de champiñones era soso y tuve que pagar £ 5 por una pequeña porción de brócoli para ir con él. Todas las verduras eran £ 5 cada una y no incluido con el plato. Decepcionado como este solía ser un buen lugar para comer.

Comida mediocre a precios inflados. NO recomendado. Solía ser genial. Nuevos propietarios han arruinado este lugar. También se agregó la carga de cuba y seevice en la factura. Estafar

The Italian-style restaurant is located a few blocks from King Cross station and the hotel where it stopped. We were looking for a pub but due to lack of space we opted for this option where there were still tables available. A waiter greeted us warmly and seated us at the table. A pleasant atmosphere, with beautiful decoration according to the origins and very attentive staff. It has a menu that we liked since in addition to pizza and pasta, as many restaurants limit themselves, it offered other options without going beyond Italian. We found the food to be of very good quality and you could tell that all of its ingredients were homemade. Furthermore, the relationship with the price was more than correct. Who I understand is the owner, she was also always very attentive and helpful, being attentive to any request. I definitely recommend it and would return to try other options.

El restaurante, cercano a las estaciones Kings Cross y St Pancras, ofrece una carta variada de gastronomía italiana en un ambiente pintorescamente decorado. La comida era sabrosa, los precios acordes a la calidad de los platos, y la atención sumamente cordial y atenta. Muy recomendable.

Lovely ambience. Delicious food. Excellent service. Very Italian and we enjoyed a complimentary shot glass of Limoncello too

Me and my partner have been coming to London for the past 4 years we found this restaurant on the off chance it is the best restaurant I have ever been to the food is so nice me and my partner eat well traveled and have had food all over the world yet I find myself coming back to London to eat here ,the staff are so friendly, the restaurant is clean and like I said the food is above amazing , I recommend any one to come hear as the exspiriance will not be disappointing

Fast service - nice spot for a pizza ;-)

Nice restaurant! The food is good and the staff very friendly. The food comes to the table quickly and the wine is delicious. I'll definitely come back here when I'm in the area!

Nice Italian restaurant with a family vibe. I had ravioli stuffed with pork. It was great ravioli that I have sought all my life, knowinf it must exist out there somewhere

I ordered seafood risotto. Tasty I recommend And I’ll go again myself ☺️

Great location and service. The food is very meh, super ordinary and expensive. Not worth the $. There are plenty of good restaurants around.

The food is lovely & staff are very attentive. Reasonably priced. Recommend this restaurant.

Restaurant near our hotel so popped in on the off change there would be a table. There was. Prompt service. Delicious meal. Lovely atmosphere. I left my glasses there and they posted them back to me. Great customer service. Very impressed.

The food was fresh and homemade. We had pasta and risotto which was delicious. The raviolina dessert was exceptional and must be tasted. Will be back

We both enjoyed the atmosphere which had gentle music in background and lovely staff. We sat outside where there was a nice glass screen with planters full of geraniums to give privacy from pedestrians. The second night was cooler so we sat inside which was clean and had large glass windows. Both nights we tried pasta and risotto dishes with side salad. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The Raviolina dessert was delicious and must be tried otherwise you have missed a real treat!!

Fabulous authentic Italian food made fresh on premises. Best Italian 🇮🇹 in UK. Wonderful staff and a real buzz.

nice and chill place, the staff is really cool and the food is great

We noticed this restuarant whilst we where out for a walk, the menu looked interesting. We opted for meats and garlic bread for starters, then a salami pizza and a chicken in cream and mushrooms for mains. The service was excellent, lovley choice of wines and the staff where freindly. For dessert it had to be the Tiramisu which was perfect. As it was a Friday evening it was busy but just comfortable enough not to delay the food service. All in all good quality food and a nice location for a meal.

I absolutely loved the food here, I’ve been coming here since 2016 and the customer service has always been on point, never had any problems or complains about any dishes, I don’t eat dairy and they always make sure my food has 0 traces of dairy which i LOVE because its soo hard to find places that will go to that extent, I’ll keep returning here with my family, definitely will recommend! I have told all my friends about this restaurant and they love it!

A Delightful Italian Feast! My visit to Mediterraneo was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere is cozy and authentically Italian, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a little trattoria in Italy. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable experience. The food was divine; the homemade pasta melted in your mouth, and the sauce was a perfect blend of fresh tomatoes and herbs. We also loved the pizza with its crispy crust and generous toppings. Don’t skip the tiramisu for dessert—it was beautifully creamy and just the right touch of espresso. Every bite felt like a celebration of Italian culinary traditions. Mediterraneo is a gem that I highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. Can’t wait to return!

Not recommended. The food was very expensive compared to its portion. They used giant plate but that still didn’t stop me from finishing my risotto with 5 bites (fyi i'm a 20 yrs old female). The taste is not good, the rice taste raw and the flavouring was plain. The salt n pepper on the table were the only things there to save the savour. My friend ordered Lasagna and she could barely finish it without throwing up. Although it was a Sunday night, there were just three groups of costumer. Despite that, we still waited for the appetizer for 20min. It seems frozen and the filling was not the same as introduced by the waiter, which seems really sus. Nobody asked about our experiences and feelings about the food at all during our dinning. the waiter seems careless throughout. I would not visit this place again. Update: The owner clearly do not know what they are talking about. I am a hundred percent sure that NOBODY asked about our experience throughout the whole dinning. It is not my fault for wanting to avoid direct conflict and sharing my experience with other customers online. Hope everyone reading this can have a great dinning somewhere else and good luck to the owner for your future success.

The food was terrible. We ordered lasagna, seafood spaghetti and seafood risotto (~£20 each). The lasagna tastes like it’s made from yesterday and used tesco pasta sauce. Seafood spaghetti was a bit better but still disappointing because there were 2 king prawns in total and around 10g of frozen chopped squid and 4 ROTTEN mussels. The seasoning was poorly managed. Seafood risotto was very raw in the middle and taste so plain. For this money you can get much better Italian food in London so definitely not recommended. After the rude reply from the owner of the restaurant - does it hurt so much to admit the dishes you served should’ve been better? Accusing me of not knowing how proper Italian dishes taste like is not gonna gain you credit. Just so happens that my boyfriend is Italian and he’s a chef too :)

SO DISGUSTING. This is the worst restaurant I have experienced since coming to the UK. If I could give 0 stars, I definitely wouldn't give it even one. If negative ratings were possible, I would give it negative stars. The mussels were not fresh at all, and I couldn't even eat them. The price is high, but the quality and quantity of the food do not even reach a "pass"! The risotto costs 20 pounds, but the quality seems worth only 2 pounds. I will never come back and will tell my friends not to try this restaurant! All the food seems to be frozen, and all they did was heat it up. The sauce for the lasagna tasted like it was made with canned tomatoes from Tesco. I almost threw up at the end. The best food of the entire meal turned out to be the mint candy served with the bill… This is my first time writing a negative review. I rarely write bad reviews for restaurants, but this time I couldn't hold back. I don't want to see others being deceived. If you see this review, DO NOT come!! My suggestion: RUN! DO NOT COME!

Nice meal, lovely staff, fair priced for London .

Solid (not spectacular) Italian fare, with efficient service, in a drab but comfy enough atmosphere

Came here for a meal once we had checked into our hotel in London as we was starving. Important to note that there is a 12.5% service charge added to every bill. The price was okay for what we was expecting in London. £8 a pint, £12 a cocktail. Mains varied with what we ordered from £16.50 to around £22. We got a side of cheesy garlic bread and chips. The sides are expensive for what they are, not really worth it. The food however was good. The lasagne has very good comments and the orzo with avocado as very tasty and interesting

After a long week travelling, we arrived back from Paris and found this wonderful little restaurant. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the pizza (and wine 😊) were delicious. Highly recommended *****

Italian neighborhood restaurant.

This restaurant is a little hidden gem! In fact, it is so good, that we ate here two nights in a row!! Food was excellent, and the staff were lovely. The menu has plenty to choose from, and we have been talking about this restaurant regularly since our first visit at the weekend. We loved the atmosphere, and the beautifully decorated tables. Next time we are in London, we will be returning!!

Quick service, lovely food. Nice inside and good portion sizes. Been before and will be back.

Lovely little family run Italian restaurant, freshly cooked tasty food, good selection of wines all topped off with great service. Highly recommended.

This italian restaurant is close to the king's cross station, it is a perfect location. I will recommend the dish called "penne con carne & funghi", It is very delicious. The service is very good and the environment is nice. The tiramisu here is perfect for me. Definitely will visit again!

We found this restaurant as it was close to where we were staying. The food was very tasty, portioned well and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. Would recommend a meal at this restaurant.

There are many different dishes, you can put together the pizza with your favourite components, I had the calzone and it was very good. I also had fries (which were good but could have done without) and a salad. The only annoying thing is that the starter, like the salad or the fries, is delivered with the main course. Instead of a few minutes before.

Bad food, not fresh. Do not recommend

Lovely atmosphere. Feels like a small family run business in the middle of London. You could laugh and joke with the team. Nice selection. Very tasty

Went here because of the good reviews, was very shocked. King prawns like rubber and can tell were frozen, chicken and cream with mushrooms had absolutely no taste at all. Honestly, wouldn’t recommend.

A really lovely family run restaurant - not too busy and not too quiet. Just far away enough from touristville too, to make you think you're in a little bit of Italy in London.

The food here was an absolute disgrace. £7 for a roughly chopped onion and four slices of tomato, passed off as a salad.

Really great value for money and fantastic staff, Klisman especially. Thank you.

Juste correct pour cette cuisine italienne qui se voulait traditionnelle. La note est élevée mais les plats sans grande saveur dommage.

I recently dined at this outstanding Italian restaurant and had the pleasure of savoring their Penne Carne Funghi. The dish was a delightful symphony of flavors, with perfectly cooked pasta, succulent meat, and earthy mushrooms. The portions were generous, and each bite felt like a culinary masterpiece. The ambiance was charming, and the staff's attention to detail elevated the overall dining experience. Undoubtedly a five-star gem for anyone seeking an authentic and exquisite Italian meal.

I'm a local resident and have never ever wanted to go to this place in 23 years I've lived locally, as I pretty much knew what to expect but unfortunately an elderly neighbour wanted to eat out and chose this place. I reluctantly went along. Needless to say I'll never go back. It was exactly as expected. Awful food, poor service. £70 bill was a total rip off. Hardly anyone in the venue at 7pm on a Friday night (which should tell you everything) and we waited an hour for a bit of chicken and horrifically overcooked salmon (we had no starter, no dessert). The salmon was so dry it was virtually inedible. The chips were the worst I've ever eaten. I didn't want to ruin my elderly neighbour's evening by complaining so I didn't say a word but what an embarrassment to call this place Italian! I'm Italian and this is simply disgusting. The server couldn't be bothered to tell me about the wine when I asked for additional details, the wine I originally chose they didn't have so had to settle for something else. The menu clearly hasn't been updated in decades. No updates given as to why we waited an hour for such simple food in a virtually empty restaurant. Just avoid.

A great find right near Kings Cross. Great service and the food was delicious and fairly priced. Lots of flavour in both the dishes. My only reason for four stars was because the Dua Lipa album playing in the background drove me mad. The world’s worst pop star taking up all the head space. Nice place though!

Delicious food. Wiped the bowl clean. Our table ordered pizzas and I had a pesto tomato gnocchi. It really was the tastiest most Delicious food I've ever eaten at an Italian.

A beautiful and authentic Italian restaurant a stones throw from King's Cross station. Delicious food and friendly service in a clean, well designed interior. I had whitebait followed by a gnocchi main. Both very well prepared and presented. Highly recommended.

Great food and service. Friendly staff. Feels authentic and independent.

We had a fantastic experience at Mediterraneo. The food was brilliant and the waiters were friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is really lovely too. 10/10, I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you!

All ok but too pricy to give more stars for what it is. Pizza better than the pasta.

Het eten is van goede kwaliteit, maar vrij doorsnee. Het is er gezellig zitten met frisse tafels. En de wijn is erg goed. En ook de limoncello die je krijgt bij de rekening. Voor een avond met flinke regen een prima restaurant dichtbij het hotel. Pizza mag wel iets meer op.

Had an amazing experience, the food was delicious and the staff really friendly and professional.Would definitely recommend it !!

Was really looking forward to a delicious Italian meal but unfortunately I was to be disappointed. The mushroom risotto was bland, the mushrooms were mushy and the portion small, which in this case was a blessing. My husband had a calzone and on arrival looked really good but he said it was watery and more tomato sauce than anything else. I hoped the desserts would be better but again I was disappointed, the tiramisu was nothing special and was “decorated” with a cheap chocolate sauce. The staff were off hand and not at all welcoming. Luckily the atmosphere was saved by the live music, they were really good.

I love a perfectly baked bread! ❤️ The bruschetta.

Pasta is mediocre at best. We ordered pizza bread on the side, it was burned. The icecream was frozen solid and prepared in advance. Keep in mind the additional service fee and sales tax. It will add about 25% to your bill and it is not worth it.

Sono capitata casualmente ieri sera e devo dire che mi sono divertita tantissimo. C’era la musica live . Oltre all’atmosfera anche il cibo ed il servizio erano fantastici. Ci ritorno sicuramente al mio prossimo viaggio a Londra.

Lovely restaurant food soooo yummi Staff very friendly I would recommend this place Atmosphere is amazing

Well, the food isn’t tasty it was more like frozen,thanks god I been with 40% off because this is not worth money. The 4 guys who’s was there aren’t even Italian none of then, they are from eastern so how you will make a proper Italian dish if you even are not Italian 💁🏻‍♀️wtf I can give cero. Also horrible presentation giving a pan for the costumers, disappointing

The restaurant looks nice. Lovely ceramic decorated tables. Pizza was OK. Nothing special. I had a Margherita. As an Italian I had better, but maybe my standards are quite high when it comes to pizza! I will go back to try the rest of the menu.

Estivemos lá no sábado, 26/08/23. Não sabemos se a equipe do atendimento muda ou não. Eram aproximadamente 6:30pm. Já deveríamos ter observado que estava bastante vazio, uma grande indicação de que o restaurante deixa a desejar. O atendimento era ruim, a comida poderia ter uma quantidade maior (eu sou uma pessoa magra) mas o sabor era razoável apenas. Atravessamos a rua e compramos kebab deliciosos para completar nossa refeição após um dia intenso de turismo, numa pequena lanchonete e com atendimento nota 10.

Early evening so atmosphere a little quiet. Still pleasant. Good menu choice. Pleasant staff. Food excellent. Price what you would expect in the area

Had a brilliant evening, food was fabulous, I had pasta and it was so much better than the normal British take on Italian. The sauce was so satisfying, different flavors making a cohesive whole. Like a really great cocktail where you can taste individual flavors without it detracting from the overall taste. Very reasonable prices.The staff were so lovely, friendly, efficient and a good laugh. Really felt like a valued customer. I look forward to going back.

Beautiful place and delicious, fresh, homemade food! The pasta puttanesca was incredible!

such a wonderful experience and great food

Very nice atmosphere and professional service testy pasta. I would say it's the right place for food lovers ❤❤❤ thanks guys for looking after us

Food is amazing 10/10, good portion of servings and fresh! Staff are very friendly especially sweet Doriana. Highly recommended this is far the best. Thank you for amazing atmosphere! Birthday celebration

Great Italian. Food was delicious for everyone in the party. Good wine, good grappa (home-made the duèno told me). Evlxcellent, warm service. Highly recommended.

Visited whilst staying nearby on a multi day trip to London. Relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Calzone was huge and Risotto much like any of the pasta dishes comes served in the pan which was a nice touch which kept the food hot. Tiramisu portion for the price however did not meet expectation compared to other Italian restaurants we visited but the only complaint of what was otherwise a nice late evening dinner.

Another great dining experience. Already our 5th time dining here and always a super experience. When we come back to London we will definitely visit again. Top team!

Some of the best Italian food we’ve ever had! The food was lovely and you could taste how fresh it was and the staff were very attentive. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

The best food I have ever had at a restaurant! Everything was made fresh to order, beautiful atmosphere, amazing staff, couldn’t have asked for more, it was the best experience I’ve had, desperately need to go back for that garlic bread especially! <3 x

Came on a Monday night with husband and family. Food was lovely really hot, tasty all came out together and was presented lovely. Staff could not of been anymore attentive they were happy, polite and always willing to tend to your every need thank you. They had 2 guys playing a guitar and singing and the atmosphere was amazing wasn’t to loud and they interacted with the customers was a really good night we even ended up getting up and having a little dance 💃🏻 in fact we enjoyed it that much we came back the nxt night for another meal,again great service ,great food , couldn’t fault will definitely be returning for another meal in the future. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely night on both nights keep up the good work xx

I had the most amazing time here the atmosphere in this restaurant is amazing! The food was fabulous too. The live music was incredible and the staff were so friendly and upbeat! This was the first place we came to after travelling down from Scotland. We spent the whole time we were in london talking about how much we enjoyed our time here. I’ll definitely be coming again.

Brilliant evening. Fab staff and amazing boss. Best pizza in London. Monday had live music which was brill too!

Une bonne ambiance avec de bons repas servis. Présentation des plats original ainsi qu'un petit Limanchello offert :)

Reviews I recently had the pleasure of dining at "Mediterraneo," an authentic Italian gem tucked away in the heart of the city. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to Italy, enveloped in an ambiance that exuded warmth, elegance, and a hint of rustic charm. My experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional, and I am thrilled to share my glowing review. Ambiance: Upon entering,I was greeted by friendly staff and a cozy, dimly lit setting that exuded an air of sophistication. The walls adorned with Italian scene and created a pleasant atmosphere. Soft Italian music played in the background, which added a touch of romance to the overall dining experience. The restaurant's layout allowed for intimate conversations, making it a perfect place for both a romantic dinner for two or a gathering with friends and family. Service: The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about the dishes they served. The Waiter was a true connoisseur, recommending the perfect wine pairing for our meal and guiding us through the menu with expert precision. Cuisine: The menu boasted an impressive array of classic Italian dishes, each with its own modern twist. We began our culinary journey with a delectable Antipasto Italiano, a delightful assortment of olives, and bruschetta, setting the tone for the feast that followed. For the main course, I chose the Risotto ai Funghi , a creamy and flavorful delight that showcased the chef's mastery of traditional Italian flavors. My dining partner savored the Spaghetti Carbonara , a mouthwatering pasta dish infused with the richness of cream. Both dishes were expertly prepared, using high-quality ingredients that shone through in every bite. Dessert was nothing short of heavenly; we indulged in Tiramisu and Cheese Cake, both executed to perfection and providing a sweet end to an unforgettable meal. Overall Experience: This restaurant succeeded in creating a magical dining experience that whisked me away to the enchanting streets of Italy. The passion and dedication of the staff, the attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant, and the outstanding cuisine made this an evening to remember. The prices were reasonable, considering the exceptional quality of the food and service, making it a fantastic value for the experience offered.

Had a really nice meal here. Excellent range of choices and very quick service. Good wine and cocktail list. Complementary liquours were much appreciated!

Toda la comida congelada, la pasta blanda y fría, el pan directamente congelado. Un desastre, hacía tiempo que no comía tan mal en un restaurante.

Had a fantastic dinner here. Pretty restaurant, lovely food and Italian music. Perfetto.

Excellent sphagetti and meatballs. A chance visit and came out totally satisfied
