If you're looking for an authentic Italian place around Islington, this is the spot. "Just half of the menu card was real food, great presentation". Food was really great and reminded me of my travels in Italy and the local food quality. If you're able to get table here, you'll not regret the visit.
Can’t believe I waited this long to visit Saponara, an islington local favourite for amazing Italian food. The place looks like and probably also serves as a deli with some indoor and outdoor tables, it’s casual, authentic but also well looked after. Tortellonis are to die for, with a great selectio
Lovely place to enjoy homemade delicious meals in a very welcoming atmosphere. You'll feel like you're sitting in the dining room of a sweet Italian family. Must try!
Fabulous food and delightful service! We had two incredible pasta dishes. I loved seeing all the pasta specials delivered via basket of each type of pasta. Our servers were so attentive and kind. Great outdoor atmosphere - it’s on a quiet street. We will definitely be back!
This is my favorite Italian restaurant with my Brazilian friends. The appetizers, pasta or pizza are all very delicious. The tiramisu is great. I will definitely eat here when I visit London again.
5 stars speak for themselves. Best pasta and pizza in my life. The atmosphere is wonderful.
If you're in London, you should stop by.
Greatings from Poland!
Really delicious and authentic. The pasta selection is incredible and tasted wonderful too. Fresh ingredients, good wine selection. Will definitely be back!
Lovely environment, you can feel the Italian vibes! Good prices for the portion, the pasta menu was very original! They also sell ingredients which all look great quality. Very friendly staff.
Real italian restaurant tucked away in a quiet street. In summer the terrace is lovely too. Great selection of raviolis, my friend had a delicious pizza. Very nice food, lovely people.
An unfussy Italian place where people clearly love food and put great care to it. The pasta is all home made and varies depending on what's available - the staff will bring you a board with the actual (uncooked) pasta options for you to choose. Everything we ate was delicious, fresh and great qualit
Outstanding Italian restaurant with friendly staff and a typical atmosphere. Pizza and pasta dishes are absolutely delicious, deserts are good (although not a must). Reasonable prices. Will come back (again!)
So, I reviewed Saponara pizza about a month ago and gave it my highly subjective 4.0/5.0 "Best Pizza Rating" (trademark). Well, I went back, as predicted then, and as I have but one review to give, I've amended this one.
Boy, this was a game changer. Had me the Saponara pizza, the namesake of the
Came here last week, lovely little spot tucked away just off of Essex Road. Worth the visit, it was quite quiet so the service was quick. Probably won't find anything as authentic as a place like this, they are slowing dying off.
We ordered a takeaway during lockdown 🌈 and my Tartufo pizza was 🔝. I visited after and I found the place and the owner so lovely. Grazie e a presto!
A hidden gem! Highly recommended. Don't be misled by pizza dominating the published menu; everything else is on the daily specials.
We ordered 2 pizzas for delivery; the Tutta carne, and Tartufo. Well the last I can say is that it was absolutely amazing, even for delivery! Free delivery, aromatic, delicious, fresh, thin hand spun crust! What a great place... If I lived in London that's be my go to place!
Best pizza I have had in London and all the pasta types we have tried every time we have gone are amazing. It is a must go for us now when we have someone visiting us in Islington! Definitely recommended!
