Trattoria Sapori in Islington

Went the other day to eat something, out of this world. Tried pizza and some pasta and was left speechless. The chef/owner also a great guy to chat with. Would recommend to others!

Super service,everything was delivered to us fast and was delicious.The waiters were super nice.Excellent food,staff,environment.

The food was really delicious, especially the pizzas. The atmosphere was nice. Also the service was fast and the staff was polite and very welcoming. See you next time La Saporita. 😊🤗🤗

I recently visited this charming spot for an afternoon pizza before heading to Finsbury Park, and it was a delightful experience overall. They offer a good selection of vegetarian options. The pizza was fantastic—well-cooked with a delicious balance of flavors. The risotto arancini balls were another highlight, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. While the gnocchi was enjoyable, I found the ravioli to be slightly on the salty side, which detracted from its overall appeal. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely consider returning to explore more of the menu. Highly recommended for a casual meal!

It was like we had been to Italy, very tasty and cosy place.

Excellent pizza and super friendly service 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

One of the best value for money I’ve experienced in london so far, the food did not disappoint it was excellent.

Delicious Italian food and amazing service!! I would definitely recommend

New favourite pasta place in the area! Great food.

Wonderful small restaurant, easily handled a party of twelve, great service,food and atmosphere, will definitely return.

WOW!!! The baked Camembert has changed my life! Seafood pasta was amazing and pizza was authentic Italiano. Only negative, the prawn cocktail, doesn’t come as pictured and the prawns looked like they came from a tin, not very nice. Otherwise a wonderful meal!!

Ordered from them before and will again. A good proper Italian pizza.

A really fantastic night out. Service was excellent. Food was fabulous. Great selection of starters. We had Arancini balls, Gamberoni and Deep fried Camenbert. Main courses: Pizza, Chicken parmesan and Seafood risotto. Again all were delicious and fresh. Desserts were divine. Homemade Tiramisu and Profiteroles. Highly recommend a visit. Lovely and warm welcome from Francesco and outstanding service.

This place never disappoints. Good quality, fresh food, on time, every time

Have eaten in the restuarant, so know it was authentic Italian. The pizza was very good, lovely base and great sauce, generous topping, all at a good price.

The server was very friendly and accommodating and the pizzas were delicious! Very good plan

Such great food and for such low prices! The atmosphere is very pleasantly warm and casual, and the staff there is very friendly and positive. 10/10 would go again

Everything was great except the ice cream packed with the apple crumble was melted. Would order the other items again, especially the Tagliatelle al Freddo and tiramisu.

We had the most delightful dinner tonight, brilliant and welcoming service! Delicious food, will definitely be back and can highly recommend! ❤️

We've received incredible hospitality from Fransesco. The pizzas there were delicious and affordable. We're looking forward to visiting La Saporita again.

As an Italian the Margherita is the true test of a pizzeria this one failed on every mark, the cheese was cheap and tasted like cheddar no basil all in all it was a letdown and went in the bin, it tasted like a supermarket pizza and looks like one too the tiramisu also cheap and had chocolate squizzy sauce on it, something a Italian would never do.

pleasure to visit such a places

The food and service was so fantastic. One of the most well priced places left in London. The server was incredibly kind and attentive. The starters and mains were perfect. Glad I discovered this spot.

It's such a cute restaurant and there was only 1 person on the floor but he was so sweet and attentive Had to finish everything!

Love, love, love this restaurant!!!!!! Authentic Italian at its best plus they cater for certain requests without issue. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, will only order ‘Italiano’ from here. Thank You!

This is the REAL DEAL!!! Don’t waste you’re money or time ordering anywhere else. I lived in Italy with a family as their au pair, I know authentic Italian food and this is it!! Plus the lady who answered when I called was beyond lovely and helpful. You can tell this restaurant takes care and pride in what they do. Will only order from here now, thank you!!!!

Stunning store! Very cozy, the owner Francesco is extremely nice and accommodating and the food was fantastic! The pizzas and apple crumble in particular are incredible. If you are in North London, a visit is highly recommended! Greetings from Bremen :)

Small but very cozy with good food and warm service

Thanks for all! That was a perfect diner

Love this place. Easy, friendly, food is always good. Francesco is an absolute star - so welcoming and kind.

Family members and I turned up stonking drunk after Leeds lost the play offs and received the best service I could ever imagine, patient, accepting, speedy and attentive. The pizzas and pastas were very good, well seasoned and as cheesy as you could want. Prices good too for the area. We came in chaotic and sloppy and left well-fed and satisfied: excellent restaurant.

Top quality food and great service - Francesco was a gem 💎 We were shocked when we got the bill in the best way - fantastic value for money! Can recommend the gamberini, the caprone pizza and the ravioli

Very good restaurant! We ate there twice during our stay in London. The welcome is excellent as is the food. I recommend !

very good restaurant, very warm welcome and good Italian cuisine. I recommend!

The delivery guy was wondering around the corridors of my block of flats, claiming that the app on his phone had no information about the name, flat number, etc etc. My app was saying “delivered”, so I opened the front door to look for him & managed to spot him a few doors along from me. Disappointed!!!

Amazing pizza, one of the best tiramisus and amazing service, what a guy!

Tasty food and nice cosy atmosphere. One of the best customer service I have come across in London. Don't know the name of the waiter who served us, but many could learn from him. Extremely kind and welcoming, able to run entire place on his own, not missing a single table regardless a fully packed restaurant.👌We will be back for sure.👍

Pizza is nice, However I ordered a Homemade Tiramisu, but instead of I received a Pannacotta , I don’t like pannacotta that’s why I didn’t choose it. So I paid £6.50 for nothing....

If you want to enjoy the best Italian cuisine in London, this is the place for you. Incredibly delicious food in a great atmosphere. On top of that, the most friendly Italian in the world serves! 😊 In addition, every individual request is taken into account. 5 stars are not enough - so come here, feel good and enjoy it 🇮🇹

This place is perfect 😉, the best pizza 🍕

fantastic margherita! thank you!

Giant pizzas, crispy base. Attentive friendly staff, fast service. Pasta and pizzas all very tasty. What makes this outstanding is that it is also inexpensive. £14 for a 16 inch pizza cooked on site. Astonishingly good quality, how do they do it for the price? Always busy, with an eclectic cloud and good ambience. Well worth going out of your way for. Too notch.

we have been regular customers in this place for years, but didnt stop by for a good while as we moved out of the area. We visited again tonight as we were passing through .. the food was just as good as always. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and it’s always a lovely experience. We will be back soon!

Great pizza and even better hospitality. Go for the pizza and stay for Francesco. A true star of hospitality x

Well prepared and presented food, and decent value at £70 for two (before tips - there's no service charge), including a homemade tiramisu and a couple of glasses of wine.

Wonderful food and lovely people. Such good value for money and always delicious

Just the most incredible atmosphere, service and food. Sincere thanks to Gazmir, Ermal, Francesco and the rest of the team for always making us feel so welcome - always a pleasure to visit.

Tasty food and super friendly service

Lovely Place with very friendly stuff! Great restaurant. Food is exceptional.

just a nice place to be… lovely owner

A great find - great food, lovely people, excellent service

Stumbled across here when wanting pizza! Lovely

Lovely food, good value for money and great customer service !! Would highly recommend 💯💯

Very nice restaurant amazing service and the food is fresh and delicious.

I went here last week, the food was sooo good and the place was so nicee, would highly recommend :)) Also the owners are very lovelyy which made the experience better🥰

Pizza is freshly prepared in front of you and delicious. The best pizza I’ve tasted in Central London thus far - great portions and excellent value for money - highly recommended A+++

Really lovely food. Great ambience and price point really good. Pizzas are big and tasty. Good selection of Italian food highly recommended

I love Francisco and the cook! They really make a great team! Francisco gives the amazing service and the cook dishes out the A1 amazing delicious food! Really a hidden gem!!! They do get packed towards the end of the night bc Francisco really serves the entire house! See you soon!

Really lovely food, very reasonably priced, very unassuming environment and super friendly staff! Definitely would recommend!

Wir waren heute bei Euch und wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Der Service war super! Leider ist das Gas ausgefallen und wir mussten das Essen verschieben, wenn es sich ausgeht kommen wir jedenfalls noch einmal! Allein schon wegen dem Empfang ist das Lokal einen Besuch wert! Update: wir waren jetzt noch 2 mal da: die (kein Spaß) beste Pizza der Welt! Und Francesco ist der tollste Kellner der Welt … und brauchen Sie eine Übersetzung Italienisch, Französisch, English …. Call Franz ❤️

Super nette Bedienung und sehr gutes Essen … jederzeit wieder… und der beste Kellner in town .. FRANCESCO 🥳🥳🥳 Lg Lukas Eva Katja Lena from Austria

Coming to la saporita is is always an amazing experience, the best pizza in Finsbury Park, highly recommend And Francesco is amazing ❤️

We came here last minute after a disastrous experience elsewhere and in the end we were glad our other plans fell through as we had such a wonderful evening here. The food and atmosphere were great and the service was some of the loveliest we've ever gotten. Definitely recommend!

Excellent food and prices. A little gem. We only had pizza and they were amazingly unique. Great prices and outstanding service.

Great place, great people and great food!! Just popped in on the off chance of a half decent pizza and had by far the best pizza I’ve had in ages! Egg on top cooked to perfection! Staff very friendly, highly recommend this little gem!

This Italian restaurant has everything you need for a great evening: generous and fresh pizzas (the small pizza is big enough unless you want to share), a large selection of starters and mains, and very reasonably priced desserts. The waiter is super nice. Often fully booked, you should aim at reserving a table as the restaurant is quite small and popular with locals. Only 5 minutes away from Finsbury Park Station.

Lovely, friendly service from Francesco, the owner and tasty (saporite) pizze. Thank you. We will be back!

I've been missing them since they have been closed in August. Had to go to somewhere else but nothing compares to this restaurant.

Just a lovely local Italian restaurant by an Italian!

So wish I lived closer to this gem of an Italian restaurant. Service was warm and friendly, food perfect and atmosphere excellent. Will definitely hope to be in the area again just to visit.

My favourite place these days....

Went to this place for an afternoon pizza lunch before walking to Finsbury park. Good veg options but make sure you ask the waiter. The menu is mislabeled for veg dishes. Pizza was really good. Risotto arancini balls were tasty as well. Gnocchi was good but ravioli was slightly salty. Pizzas looked big but light. The host was extremely kind and friendly. Will visit again.

Great service. The waiter was very friendly. The food was very tasty. Will visit again.

Food was great, service really friendly and the right amount of attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing food and wonderful service from Francesco! Came in as a super hungry group of 5 on a Saturday evening and the team was super quick in getting us a table and bringing out food. Really great!

Really lovely little Italian with a friendly atmosphere and well priced good and drink. Had the seafood linguine and it was delicious - would recommend!

Amazing food, super friendly owner, really reasonably priced for a tasty meal in a charming setting!

As always, excellent food and service, great value for money which is a bonus!

Ho mangiato solo una pizza e bevuto una birra, ma comunque mi sono trovato molto bene. Si parla e si mangia italiano. Consigliato

This is now my favourite Pizza house in the area. Such a great atmosphere (not too noisy or rushed), lovely staff. Outstanding 16” high quality Pizza - great value too. What’s not to like.

The pizzas were absolutely delicious and so were our starters. Lovely warm atmosphere and the guy that served us was really nice. All in all a highly enjoyable evening at this establishment.

Gorgeous Negroni, pizza was definitely on the nice side. Pasta dish I ordered wasn’t the one that was cooked. No matter. Both mine and my friends pasta dishes were on the bland side. Nice try but Pappagones for me all day long.

Still great tasting food. Maybe one the best Italian restaurants

We love coming back to the restaurant the food and the service are always great. Love the 16" pizzas, as good as I've had in Italy.

Exceptional services and great food

This was a really lovely dining experience. Food was pretty good and service was excellent. The portion sizes are generous and our waiter was great. Will definitely be returning.

The food was amazing but it was Francesco's hospitality that made this one of our best restaurant experience in all of London! (after living here for several years) We don't actually live in the area but we will definitely travel to Finsbury Park again just to enjoy the great atmosphere and delicious pizzas!

Very friendly. Good service. Brilliant food. Inexpensive. Great.

My favourite Italian love it so much the food is amazing and the staff could ever been better I love this place

Absolutely love coming here. The food is so tasty and reasonably priced, the decoration and atmosphere is great but the main reason we have kept coming back for more than 5 years is because of Francesco - he is the life and soul of the restaurant, it's like visiting an old friend. We will keep visiting for many more years to come! Perfect dining experience! Thank you Francesco

Really good value for money. Food is good and the wine is cheap for the quality. Francesco, the host and waiter is brilliant , very funny and personable

One of the best pizzas we have ever had. A lovely establishment too, with a great atmosphere. We were treated to a warm and friendly welcome. Highly recommended

A lovely little Italian place. Service super friendly and helpful. Food top quality and fair price. No problems at all 👍👍

Great food and service. We've been coming here for years. Great pizza and lovely friendly service.

Honestly one of the best italian style pizzas I've had in London! The staff is also very nice and the place is very cosy. I've been a regular costumer for a few years no, and the quality hasn't decreased at all. Definitely recommend it!

One of my favourite places. Friendly service, great pizzas and good value

Uhlalaaaa. Stunning pizza. Full of flavour! Customer service spot on! Give the staff a raise!

Omg awesome pizza. Really great service. Slightly off the high street but actually better pizza than the other place on the high street! The chianti is incredible.

From my experience: -Nice food -Professional and pleasant waiter -Generous portions -Hidden gem

Was nearly full on a Monday evening which is always a good sign. I had the salmon tagliatelle which was great. Good value for money and 3 mins walk from the tube station so all the better. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. Would visit again.
