"our favorite Italian restaurant was completely booked and we decided to try a new restaurant. we are based on fabrizio based on the high ratings and great reviews on various platforms. as was noticed by some others, the inner is more functional than...all different. the service was fast and generally efficient, although it should be pointed out that there was only one waitress. eating, the whole purpose of visiting, was overwhelming. I am hard pressed, really hard pressed to agree with the various people who claim that this has the best (or close to the best) Italian cuisine in north london. the appetizers were inspiring (visual and taste) with the calamari seems to be of the frozen sort. the pasta dishes, such as linguine al gamberoni, had a craving vibe and not a positive sign. last but not least was the pizza, the diavola, only meh. we had much better many times over and in several Italian restaurants of small variety. this was a very uninteresting eating and we are very unlikely back."
