The best restaurants serving Italian food in Stoke Newington Central Hackney London

Pretty, friendly restaurant with lovely service. The pizza was absolutely outstanding! Can also recommend the delicious pasta ragu. Next time I’m going to try the ravioli.

As a Sicilian, I was hoping for a good experience. The staff were very pleasant, the food not so much. Poorly made and tasted awful. Over cooked gnocchi that was clearly reheated and tough. Drinks not as described. Bread stale and tasteless. The complimentary olives you receive as soon as you arrive, pretty grim. Avoid.

I live in the area, but never visited before. The food was delicious! This is a family run restaurant and both mum and daughter were charming. Dad is the chef. My new favourite restaurant in Church St.

Don't know why this restaurant is so difficult to find on TripAdvisor because the food is amazing! Also the waiters are super nice and the prices are verry reasonable.

Our first visit to Oliver’s for lunch today on recommendation from friends The food was excellent and the service from our waitress was friendly informative and efficient Highly recommend

Great restaurant as always! Had the Sunday Sauce special - OMG! Particular highlight was the service, from our server Greg, who was very attentive and super knowledge about wines! Highly recommend

Avoid. I only usually leave reviews when I have a really positive experience. But this place is a trap. I went with my partner in July 2024 on a rare night we could both had a weekend night off work. We were told there would be a table for us in 30-45 minutes, and agreed we would take a walk while we waited. A server then chased us over a block down the pavement to say we could sit at the bar while we waited. So, we (two men holding hands, clearly a couple) took a seat, but never got a table in an hour and a half of waiting, while a number of straight couples, both reservations and walk-ins, all got table service. And we got to listen to conversations from the waitstaff about them being a couple, questions about their date night, offerings of shareable menu items and pairings, etc. We were never given the table we’d agreed to wait for. In the meantime, we got expensive mocktails that were mostly water, dinner from the main menu (not a bar menu, we checked…and also the bar is just two seats) that is in tiny portions. (I got 4 or 5 small artichoke hearts fried to death with a bit of rocket as an over-£10 entree), and very overcooked pasta. I love a quality, niche tasting menu, but this was not it. And the price estimate is way off. We spent £70, no alcohol, on three tiny plates and two mocktails. We ate so little (and both of us have small appetites ) that I had to cook a full dinner afterwards when we got home. And a very leery man just sitting around, staring, and occasionally arguing with the front of house. Maybe a manager or owner? All the while, it was unclear who to ask for to get another dish or to get the check. There was no care to try to serve us our dinners at the same time, even though we requested it. I waited over 20 minutes between my partner getting his dinner and me getting mine. The bartender and servers were very friendly…I’d have loved to have seen them at another restaurant with decent food and better management. TLDR; Don’t go if you want good food and non-bigoted service.

Fuimos aquí anoche con mi novio y me sorprendió gratamente. dalston / Stoke Newington tiene un montón de restaurantes caros de moda continúan apareciendo por todas partes en el momento en que no son muy buenas, así que fue un hallazgo genial. Fui a Cerdeña año pasado y puedo decir que la comida era muy auténtico.

Pedí pizza en este restaurante y me la entregaron en casa, pero la pizza no tiene nada especial, es sólo una pizza con cosas al azar.

Maravillosa comida en Il Bachio. Gran servicio y comida increíble. Me encantó el pan fino de barquillos y mi pasta con huevas y almejas de bacalao era un plato enorme de exquisitez. Nuestra mesa estaba en la sala de fiestas, que era agradable y cómoda. Estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita!
