The best restaurants serving Italian food in Clerkenwell Islington London

I really enjoyed this pizza. I ate on the pavement watching the world go by I’m the characterful Exmouth Market. Service was very nice and they are really dog friendly - dog treats, not just a water bowl! It’s a good spot.

Nice atmosphere. I ate outside and it was very busy. Pizza was very good as was the spaghetti balls. Friendly service, would return.

Cosy and relatively quite atmosphere, as an Italian I can say it’s a 100% authentic Italian, great service and incredibly good food, Alessio is a stellar guy, friendly, warm and not too intrusive as some of our fellow Italians normally are eheh, we got digestives offered from the house and the bill was reasonable. Definitely coming back for more steak

Found a Worm in My Dish – Horrible Experience and Disappointing Service! I visited Santore today to celebrate a special occasion, but my experience was completely ruined by poor food quality and even worse customer service. I ordered a mushroom risotto, and to my shock, I discovered a worm inside after my first bite. It was incredibly disappointing, not only because of the food but also due to how the staff handled the situation. Instead of apologizing or showing genuine concern, they simply offered to remake the same dish or bring me something else. When it was time to pay, they made me feel as if they were doing me a favor by waiving the charge for the risotto. I wanted to leave immediately but didn’t want to ruin the evening we had planned to celebrate. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable night turned into a terrible experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Santore, please take better care with food hygiene and train your staff to handle issues with basic courtesy. I won’t be returning.

Very nice! The food is very nice and the service is great. Very nice people

Really disappointed to write this as have been to Brutto on many occasions during the last few years and was one of my favourite places to go. Not any more unfortunately. The food is still ok however what lets it down massively are the staff. The front of house was so arrogant and unfriendly it was almost comical. Although I did note he was jovial with another table - maybe they were “important”. Our waitress continually told us we had the table for 2 hours..yes we know! Such a shame. Won’t be back, glad I got to experience it when it was good

Had a lunch meeting here and grabbed a bite to eat. Good fresh food and great coffee. Staff very helpful and friendly. Not much more to say really, it is what it is.
