Camden Town, Italian Restaurant Guide

2021 Review: “Truly amazing tastes recommended for both vegans and non-vegans!” help win high scores for this year-old, Camden Town offshoot of the UK’s first vegan pizzeria (which first hit Brighton in 2015). Bases include sourdough, hemp and gluten-free options: “it’s the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time!”. Top Tip – kids under 10 get a free pizza when eating with their parents.

“Tucked away behind an ice-cream parlour” in Kentish Town, “this lovely local restaurant produces dishes that would shame a far more expensive West End place”. Calabrian-born with Moroccan heritage, chef Mustapha Mouflih conjures up “exceptional real Italian cuisine” in a “no-frills” setting which is “reflected in the prices” – and “a bargain deal on corkage”.

2023 Review: This “friendly and cosy” independent Italian with a “good garden space” has established a comfortable niche for itself in Primrose Hill over the past dozen years. It’s run by Patrick Oberto and his partner Diana Rinaldo, who took over the site in 2011.
