The best restaurants serving Italian food in Chingford Green Waltham Forest London

My wife, Angela, and I visited this lovely eatery along Station Road in North Chingford last Wednesday evening. We were met with Silvo's and Orazio's customary warmth and shown to our table. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting with delightful prints of Italian locations on the walls. The background music was brilliant and set at the right decibel level. Armed with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz, and to the accompaniment of polite chatter and laughter from the diners already there, we made our selection from a wide-ranging menu, especially when you include their specials' board. Angela went for the Avocado Crab and Prawns followed by the Saltimbocca; I chose the Prusciutto e Melone and also followed it by the Saltimbocca: all the meals were fresh and perfectly prepared in taste and texture. This culinary perfection was baptised with a brilliant Primitivo: an Italian red with a hint of sweetness, which complemented our meal admirably. We then found room for dessert: the wonderful Alfredo concoction that had Angela drooling, and I demolished the Apple Tart drizzled with Amaretto - delicious! We concluded the gastronomic extravaganza with lemon tea, black Americano, and black Sambucas. Plus, we had complimentary drinks from our gracious host - grazie mille and muito obrigado, Silvo. What makes this place so special is the genuine warmth and friendship from all there, where you can feel right at home and bask in the ambience of great food, chat, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs for their artistry. Until the next time, have a great Easter, keep happy, and be safe. Ciao.

Ayant vu ce restaurant avec de bons avis sur Internet, nous avons franchi la porte avec enthousiasme, et nous avons été franchement déçu. Rien de mauvais gustativement parlant, mais rien d'extraordinaire. Par contre, nous avons été servi par un homme absolument pas accueillant et professionnel. Je ne recommande pas.

Great Dinner with my wife. 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th timed always good. Took 30 people at xmas they cope well for a small restaurant. Just booked again for this Xmas. Again yesterday March 2025. Only 4 of us but still brilliant.

This restaurant is ridiculous. I ordered 2 meals and a starter. It came with no Parmesan cheese nor was the order correct. I asked to speak to a manager, the woman said i'm the owner and you're no longer welcome. £500+ was sent there on my son's birthday & his friend just had his at this restaurant. Don't go here!

Ate there on Feb 20, 2022. Staff were friendly and food was delicious. Stereo prior to attending the play ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ as it is nearly across the street. Delicious!
