I love Lara's Cafe ... its lovely home cooked traditional food that makes you feel like youre home!! even when youre not italian. the coffee is great - and there is a choice of vegan milk. Lara is great at adapting her menu to cater for different food requirements like gluten free and vegan vegetarian. AND the prices are very reasonable for this part of London. really friendly atmosphere!
I grew up in Italy with my mother being an awarded chef, hence my standards are very high. Lara's food meets perfectly those standards and I wouldn't eat Italian food anywhere else in London. Bargain prices, excellent quality food and best staff. Espresso is 5 stars on its own. A gem in London.
Quirky yet very inviting Italian Restaurant just around the corner from the Finsbury Park Travelodge. 6 of us went there yesterday morning for breakfast and it was amazing!! The homemade baked beans and the mushrooms were so tasty! The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We're going back for breakfast again today! 👍👍
I think is the best home feel place, nice food coffes but the atmosphere is the best!!!
Nice food, good service, well priced. Excellent!
Great place, amazing garden, excellent food, enjoyable staff!
I'll be there whenever I can! (:

Lara's place is great ... like to stay at home! She is a lovely person anf the staff is welcoming. THE FOOD IS AMAZING!! ..if you want to stay outside there is a garden very cute! TO TRY!!
Delicious pre Arsenal lunch. Just like Jamie's Italian except better and cheaper. Buon pranzo! Grazie mille!
Seriously delicious home cooked food, really homely and friendly too. I could eat here every night! And the cakes...!
Sembra di stare a casa! Ottimo cibo e ottimo customer service!Consigliatissimo!
Lovely little Italian cafe hidden on Blackstock Road, opens up into a little garden area, wonderful to enjoy a yummy lunch.
Staff have been attentive and friendly, good chat with staff and some locals.

Look forward to coming back when everything opens up again.
Lara's a true little hidden gem on Blackstock road. Their pizzas are outstanding. Make sure you try their garlic pizza bread. Vegan friendly. On the pic, vegerariana + extra rocket.
Lara‘s is a lovely restaurant with outside seating on busy Blackstock road. The food is outstanding! Very vegan-friendly! We’ll be back!
Would surely recommend trying this spot. Fantastic vibes, delicious dishes, good service. Fantastic seabass on the grill!
Yamyyy.😍
A real find. Friendly airy cafe restaurant with garden. The good part is the quality of the food. Simple Italian classics (mainly pasta) but cooked with skill and imagination. You can taste all the flavours. Great cakes, ice cream and juices. Avocado and lime sorbets were exceptional. Beers and wines pretty limited and they close at 7...but worth dining early . Prices are pretty good too. Give it a try.
If you'd have a nice break from the the hustle and bustle of the city, Lara's is the place for you. The owner, Lara, is very kind and welcoming and the staff is very sweet and accurate. The food is really good and well prepared. The pasta is really tasty and the sliced meats are amazing (they're Italian). The place is well decorated and you could find a beautiful garden where drinking something. I really appreciate it! Reccomended
Cosy little Italian restaurant with first quality dishes. Friendly staff, always ready to help its customers with any request! Morning fresh croissants are the best, with a selection of chocolate, pistacchio, cream or even vegan filling! Highly recommended 👌🏻
Anyone who loves Italian cuisine like me will love Lara's. Ideal for authentic straightforward Italian food , it was especially delightful to enjoy lunch in the courtyard style garden too. Very good value, why have chain fast food when there is a gem like this ?
We are huge fans of Lara and her cafe. It is a welcoming place, and the food is superb. Today we had the children's pasta bolognaise, gnocchi in a cheese sauce, a beautiful broccoli and cashew quiche and a focaccia. All were excellent and not a scrap was left on our plates.
Our two girls love the big box of toys and books that are always on hand to keep them entertained before their favourite babycino's arrive.
Great coffee and reasonable prices too.
Brilliant local cafe all around!
Can’t believe I haven left a review before! You are literally coming to Lara’s and Lara and her staff will welcome and look after you with a smile and with the best quality Italian produce you can find.
A place you will like and feel comfortable in.
