Exceptional food, made with the finest ingredients with friendly attentive service.
Probably the best steak I've had in London over the past 30 years.
1st time here last night. Very cosy place with great atmosphere and friendly staff. A small menu which must change regularly according to fresh ingredients with enough choice for everyone. 2 starters were soooooo nice ‐ a duck pasta & a superb octopus salad. The mains (pictured) were prawn pasta and tuna dishes. The starters were so good that we were expecting perfection in the mains but feel they were a little bit bland - although everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. But simple fresh cooking at its best.
Highly recommended.

Had to walk up a hill on a cold wintery night but it was so worth it! Really warm and welcoming service, a cosy vibe, and amazing food. I just couldn’t choose between pasta and steak but went for steak in the end. The dish was simple but full of flavour, and the steak was perfectly cooked. I’ll be back for some pasta!
Amazing little gem between Archway and Crouch End. Food I is great and service is perfect. It is a unique place in London.
Regular haunt. Always enjoy it!
UPDATE: Just been back for the first post-lockdown visit. Same owners but new operating team apparently. Still good, and they've opened up the outside a bit more.
Excellent food. Definitely get the cheese board for dessert.
Best restaurant for miles, including Crouch End. Food is fresh that day and wonderfully cooked and presented. Owner, also excellent cook, is genuinely friendly and hospitable and happy to advise on what to eat if you are unsure. Perfect for meat and fish lovers or even vegetarians. Unpretentious, relaxing atmosphere and good wine list, We've taken friends there several times and all have loved it. Perfect for couples or groups. Highly recommended.
This is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant and bar serving a simple menu of Italian dishes and wines. I've been twice and tried a variety of dishes and not been disappointed by any. I have to say the duck dishes are amazing. The owner goes to Smithfield Market to but the meat. We couldn't decide on our starter, so he created something just for us so we could try a bit of each. It's the kind of place that makes you feel at ease, and appreciate good quality cooking.
Great local restaurant with a perfectly formed menu, we wanted to try every dish! Above expectation quality food that seems true to the region where the experienced Italian chef and owner is from (after a chat at the pass). Great wines and service. The duck ragu and the venison with intensely cheesy tarragon polenta where highlights.
We had a great night. I ordered the steak which was nice but I felt it could have done with some kind of sauce for the potatoes which ended up being a little dry. Staff was really friendly, and the home made pasta was delicious.
Such a great local restaurant. It’s tucked away off the high streets but still attracts a big crowd. The food was excellent, wine was great. The service is so welcoming you feel like you’re going for dinner with your old Italian friends down the road
