Harden's survey result
Summary
For a dependable local with food that’s “simple but always good”, most reports applaud Adriano Bernabel and his family’s Whetstone Italian. To critics, by contrast, the performance is “just OK”, but they must be doing something right as it celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2026.
Summary
There’s something engagingly “old-fashioned” in approach at Adriano Bernabei and his family’s “lovely local” Italian restaurant in Whetstone (although it’s relatively youthful, having only been founded in 2011). The food is “always well-prepared and always tastes great”. Top Menu Tip – “veal escalope with pasta comes recommended”.
For 34 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).
