"We turned up expecting a good old British fry-up and were surprised to be given a menu offering Italian dishes. Probably because we didn’t arrive until 4 p.m! Still, the pasta dishes we had were tasty and the spaghetti carbonara, which we usually avoid as being too rich, was just right. The portions aren’t large, which were ideal for our slightly diminished appetites. It was hard to choose from the selection of cakes but I ended up with a large slice of red velvet cake and my husband had the cherry pie and custard. His only criticism was that the custard wasn’t heated like the pie. We had the mulled wine which isn’t something we normally see on a menu – just right for the cold weather. The staff were pleasant and there was a lively atmosphere."

Super affordable food with decent quality. Our orders always were ready fast. Every staff member we encountered was super friendly. We stayed at a hotel nearby for 6 nights and ate here at least one meal a day for our entire stay. View menu

This restaurant is a go-to lunch spot for me. The service is fast and welcoming, the food is tasty and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is wonderful. I have dined here both alone and with friends, and the prices are reasonable.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and good price. Actually after pandemic we don’t want to spend money for waste. Workers cafe is a local cafe but they have new diner menu. We tried and liked it. We had some starters, main courses and best tiramisu i ever had. For drinks we had pints of beer and wines. Definitely recommended.

Really can't see what the recent criticism is about. Only my second visit and impressive. Clean, warm, well-presented cafe that was busy with lunchtime traffic. We had to wait a bit because of their busyness. Food was tasty and staff were pleasant. Good to see some gluten-free options. Compared to other cafes in that area I wouldn't say they were particularly expensive. Will definitely be back. View menu

It was a place I discovered when I came to the event in the hall just opposite. The friendly staff made me feel comfortable, we tried the burger that day and I was very pleased. I visited at least 7-8 times afterwards and tried to try different things each time. The pizza, which was recently added to the menu, really connected me to the place. I am constantly looking for flavour and I highly recommend it. Please continue to work so devotedly.

Nice little cafe in Islington, in between Angel and Highbury and Islington tube stations. They have a range of different dishes, including pizza, burgers, lasagne and sides like chips and curly fries. The prices are really good for the area, lasagne and salad was around £12. The desserts are also great, different cakes, tiramisu and brownies. They allow dogs in the restaurant and the staff brought us some water for the dog which was really nice. The staff were also generally helpful and friendly
