The tumultuous southern end of Green Lanes makes a great location for an Italian deli, though the restaurant element to this operation works less well. A picture window and an outside eating area let diners see the delights of the Newington Green gyratory; inside, the long deli counter has pride of place, and the sparse and functional tables allow a widescreen view of blue lino. The menu of basic pasta and pizza choices is similarly uninspired, although every dish we tried did have a mitigating factor: bruschetta with dried basil but cheery cherry tomatoes; overcooked orecchiette with matching broccoli that nevertheless made judicious use of garlic and chilli; and florentine pizza that might have lacked pzazz, but had a nice crispy base. There’s no feel of a particular region here, which allows the wine list to prowl across Italy; the selection is better than you might expect, with several choices of each colour by the glass. Staff were under-employed on our visit, and were shielded from diners’ demands by the giant deli counter. Nevertheless, service was competent, if less than warm.

We came here with a small group of friends to their movie night, great concept and more so that you have your own room to watch a movie classic. But it was the food that was the big hit, the best pizza I've ever had, better than firezze, il bacio. The toppings were fresh and of a high quality, the pizza base light, crisp. The mozzarella was lovely. Will come back for their cakes as they look great.

why has this place got so many contrasting reviews, I have eaten many times as its my local and can say that it is one of the best Italian food joints you can possibly have. Their pizza are light and crispy and with real fresh toppings that the chef slices in front of you. great place to eat italian food.
