Roy's Italian Restaurant in Barnet

Wow wow wow!! The most incredible experience at this wonderful family run restaurant. The food was outstanding and the staff were so friendly. An absolute must! We will be back. Thank you so much Chloe and Dan, you were both AMAZING!

Always excellent service from Alison, Chloe and Lydia and excellent dishes created by the super talented chef. Food is beautifully cooked and presented and the home made desserts are delicious. Consistently good here - always love to dine at Roy’s because this place exceeds expectations! 5***** evening yet agsin.

Lovely kind waitress / small menu but food was fresh - hot and tasted delicious ! Will defiantly be going back ! Portions were big defiantly worth a visit

Came for a date night… well what can I say from start to finish the food, service and dining experience was all so lovely, there was so much to choose from, we had the steak that was cooked to perfection and the seabass which was cooked beautifully, so many different desserts to choose from and all homemade too, it was hard to just choose one so we opted to share a few and trust me, you’d want to make sure you have room for desserts after Thank you to all at Roy’s, we’ll definitely be back soon

Just had a lovely midweek meal here. The food was delicious and the staff were helpful and lovely. The chicken Alfredo was delicious and portions were huge.

Superb food and service, waitress was polite and made the visit. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Love this restaurant!! It’s always a go-to when I’m in the area. Lovely staff and delicious food.. couldn’t recommend enough!

First timers for us on Friday night. Restaurant lives up to the great reviews. Friendly, busy atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again. From reading previous 3 negative reviews, obviously from same group, it’s such a shame in this current climate where restaurants are trying to keep afloat because of the rise in energy costs and the pandemic, that they feel they should harm the reputation of a business. My advice is go try this restaurant, the positive reviews outweigh the negative.

Rude staff and no customers I wonder why ! Empty on a weekend ?? that’s tells you it’s gone down hill ! I saw on the restaurant group on Facebook it was good but since I’ve been others who have dined who I told about my experience have agreed not to go back. Burgers are awful I think Tesco’s taste better. Salt everywhere I couldn’t taste the food it just tasted of salt. No salad dressings either. Staff slammed the bill on our table and brought the machine to pay Chef said he was not the chef but that’s funny he is all over the wall photos of him dressed as a chef unless he has a twinny lol 😂😂

Excellent food, staff very friendly and helpful. We had burgers and also the steak which came out great and were made to order perfectly. The head chef came out and was very friendly and spoke to the customers. The deserts were amazing and there’s usually a new addition each time we go.

We booked this restaurant on recommendation, not sure what people have seen. We had a notification before to ensure that we were attending but at no time was there any notification of any shortages from the menu. Having arrived we were presented with a menu, still no notification of any shortages. While talking to the next table, they advised us that there was no Veal. We then asked the staff who informed us that they have difficulty with suppliers. We then asked for pasta bolognaise. Now we are told that there is no bolognaise. Most restaurants make their own, how is this OUT at 8pm on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is half empty. We booked days ago. We ended up ordering the burgers. 1 ordered with just Burger and Bun. 3 without bacon, 1 of which was not to have lettuce. Firstly plain burger is covered complete in cheese, so sent back. Other 3 covered head to toe in cheese. The 1 without lettuce has lettuce. Mushrooms ordered, limp and soggy. Our starters were fine. But these burgers were tasteless apart from cheese. We asked for the manager, the chef came over with an attitude. He accused us 2 men and 2 women all over 50 of insulting his staff. ( Not at all true) He made no apology and walked away. The head waitress came over and instead of asking if we would like a dessert or a coffee, I am given the bill and told by the waitress that she has taken off the burgers and “I take it you don’t want anything else!” We were made to feel that they wanted us to leave, so we paid and left. We won’t return, there are many quality restaurants within a 10mile radius far superior for us to frequent.

Had read and been given very good reviews on this restaurant but after going there tonight I think there must be two restaurants of the same name as this one was not very good at all Most things on the menu for one reason or the other were missing Place was empty which was odd for a Saturday evening for a restaurant with good reviews supposedly because they had been so busy last weekend with Mother’s Day which is odd as the clients for then would have been completely different to tonight All I can say is really do yourselves a favour and give this place a wide berth

Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Will definitely return and can happily recommend to others.

A local restaurant for us and what a pleasant surprise! Great food, atmosphere and service Portion sizes were great, reasonably priced and once through the door we felt we were properly ‘out’ Not keen on the lights around the windows though !!

Recommended by someone on The Restaurant Club, so came with our friends. From start to finish, we could not fault anything. Food and service incredibly good. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the Tempura Monkfish and the Lamb Cutlets, but most of all save room for the desserts they have to offer.

Great menu, delicious food which was piping hot and very generous portions. Beautifully and thoughtfully presented. Very friendly staff and extremely accommodating. My cousin only wanted the burger and not the bun and all the trimmings. They offered her an additional burger to make up...

Style over substance. Tasteless minestrone soup. Prawn avocado was ok. Sea bass very good. Steak and chops good quality meat but not well cooked We sent the meat back and next attempt was average. The owner openly ignored us after this. The waitress was lovely....

It was a family treat out to a local restaurant. The overall presentation was good. We met the proprietor who was very friendly. The food was good but the desserts were to die for! Would recommend to all locals.

We’re do I start….. what an amazing local restaurant….. from the friendly staff , atmosphere , tasty well presented dishes to the huge delicious pavlova we had to finish…… we all will be definitely coming back…. Thank you guys.

Came here the last night before the restaurant closed for their annual staff holidays. Really good night, food amazing, hot and very tasty, staff really obliging and friendly. Can’t wait for them to reopen in August.

The food was great, the seafood was really fresh and very tasty. Very generous portions and they even split a main mean accross two bowls for our two children. The staff were very polite and attentive. We would highly recommend and come back again

The food and services was amazing . The quality of the food was outstanding and the cheesecake was out of this world we all had a great time and look forward to my next visit

Following my recent visit to Roy’s, I would like to say how impressed I was with the service and food quality. I am a “fussy “ vegetarian and I asked for a recommendation, I don’t like carbonara usually, so the chef said he would make...

Had the best evening for my dads birthday. All ten of of us loved our meals! Alison set up banners and a balloon before we got there, and even prepared a dessert for one of our guests who had a nut allergy, without me having...

Such a perfect evening we had. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who took care of us the whole night. Food outstanding and presented with such creation, lovely selection of wines and cocktails. The stuffed mushrooms for starter was oozing with gorgonzola cheese and...

We went to Roy’s this evening and as usual we had a superb evening. A lovely cocktail to set off the evening, a bottle of wine and then a browse at the specials board......of course, we gave in to temptation! Garlic flatbread, jumbo king prawns,...

We visited Roy's Restaurant on Tuesday evening as two families. From the onset, we were welcomed, felt relaxed and at ease. Every dish was fabulous. Lamb chops were delish and seafood divine. This is a hidden gem on Hampden Square. Good food, friendly service and...

Absolutely love this restaurant. As always brilliant service and delicious food. Last night was busy but this never compromises the service and quality. We are coming back soon just for the pudding!

Had a lovely meal on a Saturday evening! The restaurant has a cosy and homely feel which gives it the perfect atmosphere for dining out. The portions were very generous which is always a bonus when the food is delicious 😊! Would absolutely recommend Roy's...

Thanks Alison and staff for a delicious meal and friendly service which contributed to the atmosphere last night. Despite slight niggles regarding bread and temp of starters for which an explanation has been given above , a god time was had.

100% recommend! It was a very busy night at Roy’s last night, great atmosphere and the staff were amazing as always. The food was piping hot and cooked to order, will definitely be coming back!

Cold restaurant. Lukewarm starters. Bread 15 after soup served. Ran out of desserts choice - despite us being virtually the only group there. 12 of us made our choices 4 days in advance and had more than 10 emails requesting what we wanted to eat.

We are regulars at this lovely restaurant and our meal tonight was superb as usual. Dan, the young talented chef, always comes up trumps! Never seen jumbo prawns the size of those on our plate this evening. The desserts were so yummy and original -...

Had a lovely meal here, excellent service, great food, thoroughly enjoyable evening, excellent meal.

Superb dinner at Roy’s last night. Food is amazing. Fresh ingredients and dishes presented in a modern style! No throwback 1980’s dishes here! Chef Dan and his young team are stars!

We are regulars at Roy’s. The food is always so tasty and the portions are substantial. The food is freshly prepared to the customer needs and Alison and her friendly team are always so welcoming and genuinely friendly. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food, lots of choice. Staff friendly and great hosts. Will definitely be booking again soon.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! The chef Dan and his team are on point every single time I visit. The food is exquisite and the staff are super friendly (with a sense of humour). I eat there at least once a week with family or friends and...

Fabulous family friendly restaurant. Really recommend the Calamari for starter and Lobster spaghetti for main. I love coming here, the waitresses are very professional and the food is very well presented as well as tasty!

This was disappointing on many levels. Having found a local Italian restaurant, within easy walking distance of home, which appeared to have goods reviews. This had the possibility of being a regular venue for the family. Although the quality of service from the waitress was...

We have been going to Roy’s since they opened. The food gets better and better. Dan works so hard to produce wonderful dishes. The specials are always tasty and fresh. All staff members are lovely and welcoming. Please go and support this family restaurant -...

Nice, friendly, local restaurant. Came with my girlfriend. Good variety of food and drink from menu and specials board. Reasonably priced and the table was ours for the night so we were not rushed. Will definitely be returning with friends.

Lovely family run cosy restaurant. Our meal was cooked to perfection. The wine was lovely and the owners/staff very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again!

We contacted Allison at Roy’s Restaurant the evening before to ask if vegan options would be available. After a discussion on what could be made available, we booked a table which was promptly confirmed via text message - very impressive. We turned up last night...

Upon entering the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised with the decor, we were greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. The choice of food was exactly what I’d expect in an Italian Resturant, and the portions were ample. The food it’s self was...

Visited with our large extended family from overseas last week. Again, lovely, tasty, creative food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Absolutely love the new menu, plenty to choose from. Meals were nice and hot when served. Cannot fault this restaurant.

Came to Roys tonight. Both myself and my friend had 3 courses, cocktails and a nice bottle of wine. Our server was lovely and accommodating. Was told that the chef is the son of the owners. Amazing, tasty food. Will certainly be recommending this tucked...

Just enjoyed a fantastic meal at Roy’s Italian. New young head chef Dan is one to watch! Can’t recommend it enough!

Absolutely worth a visit . . . and then you'll want to keep coming back. Young chef Dan expresses his creativity in his food. Mouthwatering new dishes with a lightness of touch. Fresh delicious produce made with love. So refreshing and inspiring to see such...

Finally managed to try this restaurant out after many attempts of it being fully booked on a Friday and Saturday night. Worth the wait. Food hot and lots of it. Nice cocktails especially the Limoncello Royale and the wine list had a good selection. Great...

We loved this restaurant! Top class food made with quality ingredients by Dan - and a wonderful family team who made us feel so welcome. We'll definitely be back! I want to try everything on the menu!

Outstanding food, amazing Biscoff Cheesecake. Front of house staff so friendly. Nice to find a restaurant that doesn’t rush you out. Will be coming back soon.

Service was absolutely amazing. Waiter was lovely and always attentive. Always took care of us!! Absolutely lovely and gave us great recommendations and we loved our experience here!

First time of visiting, it was an excellent choice of restaurant, the front of house was very good with lovely friendly service, the food was exceptionally good, has four different mains and each was of top quality ingredients and presentation, and to top the evening...

This is a precious little find. This restaurant came highly recommended to us so we decided to book in advance for Saturday evening dinner. It is a small cosy family run restaurant which makes you feel you are home away from home. To begin with...

Two of us went for dinner (Thursday evening) at this new Italian style restaurant tucked away on Hamden Square. Being our first meal out since lockdown we were a little concerned but immediately put at ease. Hand sanitiser on each table, staff wearing masks or...

Went for a meal with friends as was recommended. Surprised and pleased how nice the ambience, service, food and drink were and unbelievable value. Would definitely recommend. Best Italian restaurant I have been to in the UK. Very authentic. If I could give more than...

Went for a couples night and really enjoyed the food. Great portions and taste. Overall, excellent value for money. Will go again.

Really warm and friendly welcome from the staff, great service and delicious food - we’ll definitely be back.

The food is always perfect, and always served By the most friendly staff. The Pollo Angelica is a must have

Great food and good service. I love the lobster risotto served as one of the Specials, the Seafood Pancake is also a great choice.

Fantastic family run Italian restaurant. Thoughtful and obliging service - the atmosphere is intimate and familial. The menu has all the great Italian classics but you can tell it’s all cooked with love and passion, unlike identikit chain restaurants. The quality is second to none...

The whole experience from start to finish was outstanding. All guidelines were taken for COVID. Sanitiser on each table, social distancing, wrapped cutlery, air-conditioning etc. Environment was safe and comfortable. Waitresses constantly cleaning and very attentive, friendly with everyone. Food amazing, generous portions. Cannot fault...

What a lovely experience spending an evening in Roy's Italian. Alison and her family looked after us so well, it was a delightful evening and also they fully observed all the 'rules' with tables apart, sanitizer on each table etc. And to the food....excellent! My...

I have dined at Roy's Italian twice now and will most certainly be returning! On my first visit I ordered the calamari as a starter which was a good portion size and the squid was cooked well. For my main I chose the Spaghetti alle...

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the staff are very attentive. I really enjoyed the food and it was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend trying Roy's for great Italian food!

Such a lovely welcoming place with friendly staff and fantastic food. Will definitely be coming back

This restaurant is worth a visit. I believe it is newly opened. The food is unbelievably good, a large variety on menu. Nicely decorated and a lovely atmosphere. The waiting staff were polite and professional and we felt at ease. Very Covid-Secure. Will definitely be...

Was taken to Roy's a few weeks ago by son who goes regularly to Roy's. Food was delicious and for London very reasonable prices. Lovely, friendly staff. They even went out of their way to make a special desert for us, pre ordered by my...
