“Reliable pasta and pizza” and a setting that’s “buzzy, not noisy, and not overcrowded” do win praise for this D&D London operation in the heart of Islington (on the site of Almeida, long RIP). But, especially given that renowned chef Francesco Mazzei is nominally in charge of the food here, enthusiasm seems rather muted.

This modern Italian from D&D London and chef Francesco Mazzei – on the Islington site that once housed Almeida (RIP) – wins OK feedback, but inspires nothing approaching the excitement that might be expected from such a team of backers. Local fans hail its “generous” Calabrian cuisine and “good quality pizza” – sceptics feel its “saving grace is the location opposite the Almeida Theatre…”

It’s a “spacious, modern and stylish” venue – on the site of Islington’s Almeida (RIP) – but owners D&D London and respected chef Francesco Mazzei “really ought to up their game” here: it “beats a pizza chain”, but should deliver much more. As it is, being “convenient for the Almeida Theatre” is one of the best things that reporters have to say about it: “without this neighbour they probably wouldn’t survive”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
