"Average food and very slow service. Our food took over 45 minutes; the couple next to us, over an hour. We asked how long the food would take as we had somewhere to be only to be told about 5 minutes multiple times. My recommendation to the restaurant is to let customers know if the kitchen will be slow, and to give them some indiciation of how long they will be waiting."

Great seafood pasta at Il Guscio enjoyed with olives, bread and glass of wine at lunch. Less than £20 per head and really worth it.
Nicola
Lovely quaint little Italian. Very homely, tasty dishes and a relaxed cosy environment. Perfect for when you want to dine out but you want to feel at home.
Lilly
Second time at El Guscio a really lovely restaurant with great (huge) pizzas, the loveliest (and most generous) starter of olives and bread, friendly and attentive staff, and all at a great price.

Enjoyed the meal at this little restaurant. Non chain, Italian feel. Food was tasty which is what chain restaurants promise but fail to deliver. House wine good value at £12.00 ish. I would recommend.

You can 't go wrong with Il Guscio, our favorite Restaurant in Lower Clapton, great quality food, very friendly staff, traditional home-made Italian, and also Sardinian Kitchen. Whether its Pasta or Pizza, I love it both for going there or take away!
