The best restaurants serving Italian food in Islington London

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

Great place for a quiet lunch break. Come here every week at least once and it is the highlight of my lunchbreaks. Anna and the team make sure all is sorted quickly and to the highest standard. Many thanks

Excellent pizza in an authentic and cozy atmosphere. This is the real deal if you're looking for authentic and good tasting pizza. A really small and authentic restaurant, with a passionate and friendly owner. They have pasta dishes as well. I tried the Picante pizza and it was excellent. From a personal point of view it could have a bit more nduja,but others might find it more than enough. Even had a good discussion with the manager about preferences concerning the crust, as I am quite the pizza nerd myself. Fairly priced as well, and charming surroundings, so all in all this is a highly recommended visit if in London.

When a restaurant says its ethos is ‘Uncomplicated Excellence’ and it delivers exactly that, you have found something very special. Add to that the warm welcome from the owner and his team and you are onto a winner. A family night out at Pasta Nostra was exceptional. Don’t be put off by the simplicity of the menu, everything was delcious and you can taste the love that goes into every dish. We shared all of the Cichetti (Italian appetisers) family style and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. As others have said, the Focaccia is extraordinarily good so don’t miss out on that. The pastas were all delicious and ‘hand on heart’ I can say that my Charcoal Tagliolini with King Prawns was the best pasta dish I have ever had in a Restaurant! If you make it to Dolci/Dessert, the Cannolo with ricotta and pistachio was perfection, especially so with a side of their Orange Gelato! So my recommendation is go, eat and enjoy - Buon Apetito!

Cancelled on day attending. Booked this 4 days previous and had an email saying they are cancelling the booking a few hours before we attended. Luckily I checked my emails as this was booked for a special occasion. No excuse why, I think their customer service is very poor.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times now before Arsenal games and I love it every time I come the food is so fresh. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is amazing.

I had an amazing pizza here the other night. Can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are great and there is a lovely terrace out back.

Siamo venuti per cena con amici e famiglia! Cibo buonissimo, personale molto accogliente e ottimo vino! Ci torno sicuro!

Really exceptional vegan food. Very tasty and inventive. You can take your non vegan friends too Amazing tiramisu!! Had to stop myself from licking the plate! The service was friendly and attentive. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that I felt the tables are a little too close together so a bit uncomfortable when sitting so close to others, especially if on a date, but it is a small venue to I guess that can’t be helped.

Questo cafe si trova a pochi minuti da Church Street e offre una selezione di squisiti piatti a prezzi accessibili. Perfetto per provare l'esperienza del brunch inglese con alternative anche più nostrane come la famosa Caponata. Il caffè è superlativo se siete stufi delle minestre che ti servono di Costa coffee. Lo staff parla anche italiano. Lo consiglio assolutamente!

Excellent service and food! Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙌🏻

So sad to hear that Baracca has closed. Remo, Yvonne and Alain were always so welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble. It was 'The Old Birds' favourite restaurant, and the Christmas season started with a lunch at Baracca. Wishing the "Baracca Family" all the very best in their retirement and thanking them for being a part of and helping to create so many happy and special memories. You will all be missed xx

pleasure to visit such a places

This is my second review and this time not 5 but 4 stars. Reasons: worse service, food not that perfect. Possibly I will not come back... I want the same standards(or higher) when I am back to the same place!
