The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Hampstead Camden London

Very small place, nice in the summer when you can sit outside. Fresh pizzas, service is a bit hit and miss.

Having worked in Italy for many years, from Piedmont to Palermo, from Udine to Brindisi one gathers a knowledge of where to eat. Not the expensive and plush, but the authentic, home based and quality based cooking. What’s interesting is Osteria Ovada is not in the West End or Mayfair but Finchley Rd (Camden), and this gives it even more authenticity as a bit of travel is needed to find. It’s in a simple street, with a simple facade and inside is simple, but once you’re in, you’re in Italy!!! Great recipes, everything is carefully sourced and an exceptional selection of wines. The owner Paolo is not only cooking but producing wine, name me another restaurant in London where this is the case? The prices are genuinely reasonable, I went for the first time recently with family and for sure will return.

I had a vegetarian pasta dish specifically with aubergine, except there was barely a trace of aubergine - about 10 TINY flecks of aubergine. The pasta sauce looked identical to that put on my friends Margherita pizza! And her opinion of her pizza was very poor, worse than my pasta.

Rude Asian lady! She was super unfriendly and ruined my day!

Rustic-looking, relaxed and even romantic atmosphere. Excellent home-cooked-type Italian food - be it pizzas or chicken in cream sauce or steak. Excellent eggplant parmesan too. Recommended.

I do love zizzi , for their really good selection of diary free and vegan dishes - and always really tasty. Service was brilliant. Food arrived very promptly. Servers were attentive but not so much that you felt rushed in any way. Will definitely return

Had tuna pasta, amazing…made me come back and I was not disappointed when tried the risotto with chicken. I would highly recommend this place

Wonderful wine bar; great wine, delicious sharing platters and really friendly staff! Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Delicious food I love it so much my favourite restaurant everything so good I highly recommend this restaurant love the food the service and everything is very clean and hygienic and the food is very very delicious here

This is one of my favourite places for a glass of wine and bar snacks with friends, however it has now sadly shut down. No doubt due to high rents etc.
