The best restaurants serving Italian food in Barnsbury Islington London

In Islington noord Londen, te gast. In de buurt bij la Taberna binnen gelopen. Direct zeer gastvrij welkom geheten door de eigenaar. Mooie Italiaanse kaart , lekkere huiswijn. Supervriendelijke bediening. Familie staat in de keuken en verzorgt perfect eten. Helemaal goed.

What a welcome respite after a long day sightseeing. The restaurant is cozy, and the food was so flavorful and fresh. My kids had spaghetti pomodoro and penne pesto which they scrapped clean off their plates - a rare moment for my picky eaters. They also thoroughly loved the bread and oil, as well as the bruschetta! For the adults we had mushroom ricotta tortellini and beef ragu bolognese - both were so divine and paired well with the excellent wine selection! For dessert we had espresso, tiramisu and gnocchi Nutella! I highly recommend!

Food was spot on, staff were friendly, nothing bad to say, it’s somewhere where I look forward to visiting again to try their other dishes.

We have been using this branch for over 15 years. We love their pizzas and always order the HUGE ones. Only once were we disappointed when the pizza had been carried sideways and got squashed. Otherwise top marks for a thin pizza. Thank you Basilico.
