"Connubio means union in Italian and Fabio is the owner who has been there for all our visits. I think it sums up this lovely restaurant perfectly. Italian and Spanish food is brought together and also the menu has wine pairing suggestions. Fabio really knows his wines and has some lovely short stories about some of them. There’s a wide price range and I really get the sense he cares more about you enjoying it than trying to up sell as they do in chains! The food is good but not complex (deliberately so I think). The cheese board is amazing...especially when they have a pecorino with truffle in...but it changes depending on what the supplier provides so don’t expect this what I am now calling crack cheese all of the time. I really love that it’s not pretentious or overly chefy. Although as I’d like to visit often being local, some specials might be nice as I get the sense the menu doesn’t change often. The service is very friendly and has personality. If you’re nice then I think they go the extra mile to treat you well and engage with you. If you’re rude then I can imagine them not being that bothered if you come back as they have enough regular customers that enjoy it for what it is. Together, the food, service, slightly 1980s style decor all makes a delicious atmosphere. If you’re local then please keep supporting this independent business at the heart of Muswell Hill."

"He asked if we could move inside, but the waiter casually responded that the noise was the same in there. My husband tried to make the best of it and enjoy his meal, but the sound continued to be a distraction, so he went inside to see if the staff could do anything about it. They simply shrugged it off, stating that it wasn't their responsibility. My husband expressed that we were paying a significant amount for our meal and wine and just wanted to enjoy our evening without the constant interruption. The manager approached us in an aggressive manner, blaming us for the situation and suggesting we were ungrateful despite being the ones affected. He accused my husband of being aggressive, which was clearly not the case. He offered us the choice to leave or stay, and when the alarm finally turned off, we decided to stay. However, after reflecting on the conversation, I felt increasingly upset. The manager made us feel like it was our fault, and I struggled to enjoy my now cold meal. I suggested we only pay for our wine and the portion of food we had consumed. The manager then insisted we leave without paying and told us never to return. We left feeling embarrassed, angry, and disappointed—this was not how we wanted to celebrate our anniversary. To make matters worse, the manager later found me on Facebook to demand that I take down this review. I can't help but wonder how many others he has pressured into removing negative feedback."
