The best restaurants serving Italian food in Highbury East Islington London

This is my favorite pizza and the perfect place to relax, enjoy great food, and spend quality time with friends or family!

Great location and the friendliest staff. I had such high expectations for the food and the portion was so generous but the pastas didn’t taste of much and were very disappointing.

I sent this directly to the restaurant a week ago but they have yet to acknowledge it…so posting it on here…pretty poor Hi, we had lunch there on Sunday at 12:30pm and I wanted to give some feedback. The food was delicious and the service was cordial and efficient, I cannot fault either. However, we ended up having to leave half our desserts and take away the rest of our bottle of wine. We were served our desserts at 1:50 and when I asked if we could have a few more minutes to finish them we were told there was a 2pm reservation so we would need to leave the table by then. While I fully understand our reservation was for 90min I was surprised there was no buffer of even say 10-15minutes between table bookings. Either way I don’t think you should serve people another course if there’s not enough time to eat it. We did ask if there was another area we could finish it in (bar etc) and told there was none. Again while the food was excellent I would expect slightly better from what is clearly an excellent restaurant.

Lovely place just outside the tube station. Loads of fresh ingredients. Home made feel of everything. Had their express lunch menu - gorgeous. Wide selection. Sardines - beautiful. Plentiful salad with gorgeous dressing! Main was mushroom pizza (fungi) - simple but delicious. Delighted with quantity, quality and the owner was really welcoming and nothing seemed too much trouble. Will go again soon if in the area.

This is great value delicious underrated pizza i will definitely order again .the cheese toppings and dough are all good

Pedimos filetes de gama alta y nos lo sirvieron con aderezo de ensalada de queso azul frío que fue asqueroso, pedí cambiar por pimienta en grano que salió como agua sin sabor, las patatas fritas todavía estaban duras en el medio. Comida muy decepcionada. Tuvimos el cóctel de la historia de amor que no era potable que era tan fuerte y me encanta un buen cóctel. Lo único bueno que tengo que decir es que la decoración era impresionante. No volvería a visitar y es una pena ya que viajo al hospital muy cerca para recibir tratamiento y los habría utilizado de nuevo si fuera comida decente!

The (surprisingly large inside) restaurant was virtually empty late on a Friday evening, so you could well be lucky just turning up with the faff of booking. The service was totally amazing and the generosity totally reminded me of actually being in Italy (where we used to go at least twice a year). Free 'melon'cello was offered, they were super-generous with glasses of wine to taste. Memory says Donna Sofia closed in Covid and have only recently re-opened. The non-pizza food was interesting and felt like a 'meal out' rather than a warmed TV dinner, and there's a great pizza oven

Gran alcohol local, agradables asientos al aire libre, consiguió el pie cuando está encendido, consiguió la calefacción exterior, consiguió las pizzas y una pinta decente. Malditamente encantador

miserable, grosero, brusco, lento, mala actitud personal!!! Evitar lo contrario dejar sin una sonrisa en la cara y extremadamente molestos!!! Tardamos 20 minutos en un tranquilo día de conseguir un café! Tuve que usar el menú yo después de esperar 15 minutos!! Y el camarero era más allá miserable y grosero! Él simplemente parecía odiaba todos los clientes y no podía ser molestado! pésimo servicio horrible
